Climate change is an extremely serious issue, but can comedy help us cope with - and communicate about - it?


We hear from the University of Colorado, Boulder where students can take a course in ‘climate comedy’ that ends in them performing on stage in a comedy club.


And we unpack the power of cartoons from the World Economic Forum’s climate ‘cartoonathon’.
