Joining Juliet Mann on this edition of The Agenda are Dr. Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service; Nick Mabey, co-CEO of the independent climate think tank E3G; and Swenja Surminski, professor in practice at the LSE and managing director for climate and sustainability at global risk and insurance advisory firm Marsh. #TheAgenda #Europe #heat #climate #ExtremeWeather #temperature 00:01 - Feeling the heat: Are we losing the battle against climate change? 01:07 - The scientific reality of accelerated warming in Europe 02:06 - Is climate change moving faster than politics? 03:35 - Mitigatio
