The third and final episode of the Climate Week NYC Daily Show can only look one way: ahead. How will we be living in the future, and what will our cities look like? How does COP need to change to keep it relevant, and how vast are the opportunities of the energy transition?
This future-laden episode starts with Fleming Voetmann, vice-president at VELUX. Because for most people, there’s hardly a more important topic than how - and where – they will be living in the future. Their homes, their neighbourhoods, the safety of their children – it's all in there.
Because with more rain, flooding, hailstorms, and heatwaves, the weather patterns of the future could be dire. “So, you need to design your buildings in a way that they are resilient towards these big events. There's no way we can hide from it, so we might as well just start”
Also in this episode: France's climate ambassador, Benoît Faraco, Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland and member of The Elders, and Manuel Pulgar-Vidal from the WWF, and COP20 President in 2014.
