Join us for a Cool Talk on 3 September for a chance to share your expertise in how businesses are already preparing for changing temperatures and to suggest what else needs to be done to ensure a resilient and adaptive cold chain for the future.

The discussions will be relevant to designers, consultants, cold store, retail and manufacturing operators and owners and the programme will include:

  • Introduction – the work of the Climate Change Committee to scope the impact of extreme heat. Judith Evans, London South Bank University
