Climate change is already affecting our city, and the time to do something about it is running out. How is Nashville preparing to become more resilient and more sustainable?
We talk with experts and advocates about adjusting to life on a warming planet — and city — and discuss what individual Nashvillians can do.
But first, WPLN's Marianna Bacallao gives an update on how transgender patients of Vanderbilt University Medical Center are responding to the release of health care records to Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti.
