Heatwave questions left unanswered: How will these heatwaves impact our food security?

Heatwave questions left unanswered: How will these heatwaves impact our food security?

Nico King

September 4, 2026

We’ve all seen the headlines. We’ve all felt the heat. This summer, the UK has undergone six separate heatwaves, broken nation-wide temperature records at least ten times, suffered countless wildfires, and seen over 2,900 heat-related deaths. We’ve already explored the lack of media representation, but now we’ll focus on how these heatwaves will impact our food security.

Action needed on extreme heat disruption in schools

Action needed on extreme heat disruption in schools

Teach the Future

September 2, 2026

As summer temperatures rise, few people in public life need to be reminded of how difficult it is to work effectively in an overheated office. In classrooms across the UK, students face that exact challenge too. We are calling on MPs to deliver four key interventions to address extreme heat disruption in schools and the need for resilient infrastructure.

Heatwave questions left unanswered: Why isn’t the media reporting the link between climate change and heatwaves?

Heatwave questions left unanswered: Why isn’t the media reporting the link between climate change and heatwaves?

Nico King

August 17, 2026

The UK has undergone six separate heatwaves between May and mid-August 2026, broken nation-wide temperature records at least ten times, including some set in the 1976 heatwave, suffered countless wildfires on land protected for wildlife conservation, farmland and public parks, and lost over 2,900 people to heat-associated deaths. And while any one of those points are enough to make my stomach churn with anxiety and sadness, I have two more difficult questions: why isn’t the media reporting the link between climate change and these heatwaves, and how will these heatwaves impact our food security?

"Only YOU can prevent global warming": Who’s to blame for the climate crisis?

Eli Atkinson

February 26, 2026

For years, the state of climate solution education has been framed around the idea of focusing on our Carbon Footprint, but do we ever question the authenticity of such an idea? Everybody knows that we need to be mindful of our Carbon Footprint. I ask, do we?
