Extreme temperatures already claim more lives around the world than any other natural hazard, and under climate change this risk is increasing. Nevertheless, whilst the scale of the problem is increasingly recognised, understanding the lived experience of excess heat is a major research challenge. Focusing on Cambodia, one of the world’s hottest and most humid countries, Oppressive Heat investigates how the jobs we do, the roles we play in society, the conditions we work in, and our freedom within those roles, all shape our exposure to the changing climate.

I thoroughly recommend Bison Bison for academic and policy work, especially where the topic is complex or tricky to communicate. More than just designers, Bison Bison have been conceptual partners in the development of this project. Throughout our time working together, they have really gone the extra mile to deliver outstanding work to tight deadlines and the response to their work has been hugely enthusiastic. Their design work has elevated our work to a level above our peers and we are reaping the benefits in terms of impact and reach.
