Can comedy and comedians get people talking about the issues and understanding the solutions? Does comedy help broadcasters (and scientists) reach audiences who wouldn’t ordinarily choose to engage with the subject of environmental sustainability? What is the role of comedy in helping us navigate the enormous challenge of climate change?
Join our panel, hosted by Gemma Cairney (Broadcaster, Author, Activist and Life Enthusiast), with panellists Dr. Matt Winning (Climate Scientist and Comedian), Maeve Higgins (Comedian and Writer), Mark Watson (Comedian and Writer) and Jon Richardson (Comedian) for this engaging, fast paced and funny session where we will ask if laughter really is the best medicine when it comes to fixing the planet and our own climate anxiety.
