What in the World The young people fighting to save their culture from the climate
Climate change is one of the biggest issues of our time. Warmer weather and melting ice is forcing people and animals to migrate but it's also threatening traditions.
Myths, dances and national dishes - we've all got distinctive, defining customs that we would never want to lose. So what are people across the world doing to keep hold of their identities?
BBC journalist Abiona Boja explains how cultural heritage loss is affecting young people across the globe. We hear from Muntadhar Abdul Ali about the droughts in Iraq's marshes. And Maya Natuk tells us how rising temperatures in Greenland are affecting people's sense of identity there. They explain the actions they're taking to save their cultural traditions from extinction.
