This week we hear from listeners about the ways they cope and how they remain positive on climate change. From being involved in a like-minded community, to taking action in everyday ways. Or just knowing that the brightest minds are pushing innovative climate solutions forward every day.

In a wave of negative climate news, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about the future. Climate change is a real threat, and it\\u2019s normal to experience worry, but there are reasons to be positive. We hear from a psychologist about how \\u2018climate anxiety\\u2019 is a normal response to the uncertainty around us and from a Libyan climate activist about what motivates her, despite experiencing climate devastation in her own country.

Presenters Jordan Dunbar and Graihagh Jackson are joined by;

Susan Clayton, Professor of Psychology at The College of Wooster, USA.\\nNissa Bek ,climate activist and the founder of Project Mulan, Libya

With thanks to listeners: Ben, Tim, Sarah, Brian, Michael, Tony, Sean and Solomon
