      Physicists are comfortable with complexity and great at deconstructing problems into their essential elements. These are vital skills for understanding the climate system and for designing solutions to help the world decarbonize. This video introduces some of the key research questions where physicists can make real-world impacts in the coming years.

      Find out more by reading ‘Getting physical with the climate crisis’, the cover story from the October issue of Physics World.
