What's Dwight from The Office doing in the metaverse?

Actor Rainn Wilson joins us in avatar form to check out a virtual world created by the World Economic Forum that aims to raise awareness of the impact of climate change on the Arctic and the rest of the world.

We also hear from Gail Whiteman, Professor of Sustainability at the University of Exeter Business School, and Executive Director of Arctic Basecamp on her hopes for action to stop the Earth reaching disastrous tipping points.

And Rebecca Ivey, head of the Global Collaboration Village, tells us how the metaverse can bring people together in a unique way.
