  • Singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn reflects on his hit single If A Tree Falls, his environmentalism and how he feels artists can respond to the climate crisis today.

  • Comedians Matt Winning and Rollie Williams tell us how they're using jokes to talk to people about climate change — and whether there's actually anything to laugh about.

  • Amazonian drag queen Uýra Sodoma talks about using performance art to teach kids how to respect the natural world and protect Brazil's rainforest.
