Living With 2°C Plus: Slow Burn - The hidden costs of a warming planet

Not all impacts of climate change are dramatic or catastrophic, some are slow moving, almost invisible. These impacts don’t often grab headlines, but their consequences may be much more harmful than commonly realised. In his book, Slow Burn: The Hidden Costs of a Warming World (Princeton, 2024), Assistant Professor R. Jisung Park argues subtle setbacks of a warming world present major challenges including health risks spread across billions of people, cents off corporate profitability and threats to agricultural livelihoods. These impacts will not be equitable, but concentrated among those most vulnerable.

At the latest Living With 2°C Plus seminar, Asst/Prof Park will discuss his findings. He will be joined by a panel of practitioners working in the field to draw out the lessons and learning for policy and implementation.
