In Portugal, infrastructure is collapsing under extreme weather events

The rain on the Iberian Peninsula simply will not stop. Multiple storms have swept through in the past several weeks, causing extreme flooding along with dangerous winds. In Portugal, the government declared a state of emergency. Several people have died, thousands of people have been forced to evacuate, and infrastructure meant to contain floodwaters has collapsed, bringing down part of a major highway. The World’s Host Marco Werman speaks with Joao Dinis, the climate action director for the city of Cascais, about what has happened and how he thinks about climate adaptations going forward.
