Will you live an unprecedented life?
In this video, Wim thiery shares what the latest science tells us about how climate extremes like heatwaves, floods, droughts, and crop failures will shape the lives of young people worldwide. Thiery and his team recently published a groundbreaking study in Nature, showing how the lifetime exposure to these extremes will dramatically increase under current warming trajectories. If global temperatures rise to 3.5°C by 2100, nearly all children born in 2020 will face an unprecedented burden of climate extremes.
But the burden is not shared equally. Thiery’s work also reveals how the most socioeconomically vulnerable communities are projected to suffer the most.
