What if the climate solution we’ve pinned our hopes on still won’t stop the heat? In this eye-opening talk, ICED's Professor Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick reveals the moment she realised achieving net zero will not be enough to stop the world from getting hotter.

Combining groundbreaking climate research with urgent, practical solutions, this talk will challenge audiences to think past net zero and why we must adapt for a future defined by extreme heat.

Sarah is a Professor of Climate Science at ANU’s Fenner School of Environment and Society, Deputy Director of Engagement and Impact at the ARC Centre of Excellence for 21st Century Weather, President of the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, and a lead author on the IPCC’s 7th Assessment Report.
