The Response by David Shukman

Book cover of The Response by David Shukman

As climate impacts intensify across the UK, the gap between risk and readiness is becoming harder to ignore.

In The Response, David Shukman explores how extreme weather is already testing the limits of Britain’s infrastructure, public services and emergency planning – raising urgent questions about how we respond when disruption hits close to home.

This perspective carried directly into his role at Innovation Zero wORLD, where he:

  • Delivered Welcoming Remarks on the Main Stage (Day 2)
  • Moderated From Evidence to Action: Closing the Climate Resilience Gap
  • Moderated AI for Climate: Harnessing Opportunities for Impact

Across both discussions, Shukman guided conversations focused on implementation – how we move from recognising climate risk to actually responding to it, whether through policy, technology or system-wide resilience.

At a moment when climate resilience is shifting from long-term ambition to immediate priority, The Response reflects the urgency shaping the agenda at Innovation Zero – and the action now required.
