4/ A dangerously hot election in India The sheer scale of India’s election is mind-boggling. Kicking off last Friday, about 1 billion people will come out to vote over the next six weeks.

But in India, the immediate concern is what impact heatwaves driven by climate change could have on the voting process.
5/ CREW – Worthing Climate Centre is two years old now and we thought it would be a great idea to invite those interested in what we do, along with our volunteers and members for an informal chat over tea and cake.
