Santa Claus Takes on Climate Change will you join  him?

Just as the Paris Climate Conference was about to start there is an Indiegago campaign on Santa Claus take on Climate Change.

The objective is to help the next generation understand climate change. We will create a free downloable comic as part of the Comics Uniting Nations initiative. 

Comics Uniting Nations is a monumental partnership between a group of innovative nonprofits, working in close coordination with the United Nations Millennium Campaign and the United Nations Post-2015 Development Planning Team to make the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) accessible to the citizens of the world through comics. One of the SDGs is on climate change.

This Indiegogo project is supporting the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in particular this comic is focused on Santa Claus taking on Climate Change. It is based on a story that was written for the BBC in 2009.  You can support the comic here.  

Deutsche Weller radio picked up the story of Santa Claus Takes on Climate Change and interviewed me on  their Living Planet broadcast on the 18th of December.The podcast can be heard here.
