Summary

Hello! This week we look at the most urgent political challenge of all: climate change. Our all-star cast of guests tells us where we are, what the challenge looks like from the one of the most extraordinary parts of our planet, the Arctic, and how we convince people to act with a vision of a better world.With Christiana Figueres, the architect of the historic Paris 2015 agreement,. Kim Holmen, head of the Norwegian Polar Institute, Joss Garman, long-time climate activist and thinker and Leo Barasi who has written a new book entitled The Climate Majority.

Plus our listeners tell us why Geoff is wrong on Facebook and how Ed's name lends itself to (many) puns.
