Listen: Ally Barnes chats with Polly Marsden about kids being informed about climate change

There are some big talks coming up in Glasgow about climate change. But perhaps, you’ve been having conversations around the dinner table, too?

School children today are more environmentally aware than ever before. But a topic like climate change is complex and can be difficult to explain in simple terms.

Polly Marsden has done us all a favour and written a book called The Australian Climate Change Booka reassuring picture book, which explains the causes, impact, and work that’s being done to reverse it.

She offers practical ideas for young readers about how they can make a difference.
