How can you have a successful relationship with someone if you believe passionately in climate action, but they don鈥檛?
The fate of our planet can be a divisive, emotive, even frightening issue. It鈥檚 something that鈥檚 tearing more and more couples and families apart, experts have told us.

It鈥檚 not easy getting past those differences with the ones we love, but it is possible. We speak to a couple, as well as a mother and daughter, to find out how. And we ask whether the way we talk to our loved ones about climate change might offer important lessons on how we discuss the issue more broadly.

Presenter Graihagh Jackson is joined by:

Daze and Antonia Aghaji, from London
Caroline Hickman, researcher at the University of Bath in the UK and psychotherapist
Mohini and Sam Pollock, from Campbell, California
