Global population is becoming more and more urban as time goes on. Cities can make an enormous stride in the right direction, he says. The costs of ratcheting down emissions quickly are "completely dwarfed" by unbridled climate change. 'The costs of doing nothing rightly ... are unthinkable'

The IPCC Report is one of the biggest, most important scientific projects ever undertaken by humankind, bringing together thousands of scientists from around the world to collect and evaluate our most up-to-date knowledge on climate change. Today on the show, Adam speaks with one of the lead authors of that report, Sarah Burch. Sarah explains where we are, where we’re headed, and what we can do to stop it, straight from the horse’s mouth; and she shares why she is optimistic about humanity’s future.
