In this Deep Dive episode, we explore The Hidden Threats Shaping Our Planet’s Future through insights from the United Nations Environment Programme’s Frontiers 2025 report. From ancient microbes reawakened by melting ice, to rivers being restored by tearing down dams, to the challenges of protecting ageing populations and the dangers of toxic pollutants stirred up by floods — the report reveals emerging risks that could redefine the way we live on a warming planet. Paul Adepoju unpacks these findings, highlighting why they matter not just for policymakers and scientists, but for all of us navigating an uncertain environmental future.
