As our climate changes, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe. But what happens when multiple climate hazards occur at the same time—or in quick succession?

In this episode, Jen Roberts and Matt Hannon explore the concept of climate hazard stacking and what it means for climate resilience. How common are these overlapping risks already, and how might they change in a future shaped by more extreme weather? What challenges do they create for communities, infrastructure and decision-makers—and how should adaptation strategies respond?

To unpack these questions, they are joined by Professor Chris White, Professor in Climate Extremes and Resilience at the University of Strathclyde and an expert on multi-hazard risks across systems and society. Chris explains why understanding climate hazards in combination, rather than in isolation, is essential for building resilient communities and preparing for a changing climate.

Expanding the UK’s electricity grid is essential for delivering net zero—but what does it mean for the communities hosting this new infrastructure?

In this episode, Matt Hannon and Jen Roberts explore the experiences of people living on the frontline of the UK’s grid expansion. Joined by Clare Harris of the Local Storytelling Exchange and David Murray formerly of Sustainability First, they discuss the impacts on local communities and how network companies can deliver a fairer, more inclusive energy transition.
