As a teenager, Helen Adams was worried about climate change and wanted to do something about it. Today, she’s an expert on climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, and has influenced policy through her work with the UK Cabinet Office, Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
How did she realise her dreams? And what did she learn about climate change in the process?
This video is part of a series titled ‘The World Made Me’ in which academics from the School of Global Affairs share the incidents and encounters that propelled them from curious teens to fully fledged academics.

Fucking psychos
"biggest opportunity", "nothing that negative about it". Does Helen have access to the news? Crop yield reductions, export bans, national grain stockpiling, 1300 heat deaths during Hajj, cat6 hurricanes, places uninsurable, + 2-3C climate, billions migrating. I'll have to find the full interview as this clip is mental.
