Climate change: How are farmers impacted?

Farmers from around the world discuss the impact of global warming on their livelihoods

We look in detail at a new report on the impact of global warming, and how human activity is changing the climate. The study, by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), warns of increasingly extreme heatwaves, droughts and flooding, and a key temperature limit being broken in just over a decade. Dr Laura Wilcox, a climate scientist and contributor to the report, tells us more.

Also, farmers in Malawi and Germany discuss how climate change has impacted them and their livelihoods.

And our coronavirus expert of the day, Professor Manfred Green, joins us to go through the main headlines of the day and answer your questions. If you would like to ask a question send us a message on WhatsApp +447730 751925.
