Insuring cows and coral for climate risk

Climate change is already disrupting farming, healthcare, and even our summer vacations—but there are smart, hopeful ways we can respond. From heat insurance for cows to climate-conscious travel, here’s this week’s roundup of risks, resilience, and what we can do.

🐄 Good news: India’s smallholder farmers are on the frontlines of climate change and agritech company DeHaat is helping them adapt by offering heat-stress cattle insurance.

🩸 Not so good news: Climate change is putting the global blood supply at risk. Extreme weather disrupts donation, storage, and delivery, as disasters increase demand.

✈️ What you can do: Summer travel? Great. Carbon footprint? Not so much. What can you do about it? Fly less, stay local, stay longer, and share your choices to inspire others!
