A new climate fiction prize has been launched in the UK, with the aim of spreading awareness about climate change and its solutions. But is that a realistic hope? And how should novelists be writing about climate change anyway?

Presenter: Graihagh Jackson

Producer: Di Richardson
Sound mix: Hannah Montgomery and Tom Brignell
Editor: Simon Watts

The Climate Fiction Prize is supported by Climate Spring.
