Dr. Gemma Sou (RMIT University), Adeeba Nuraina Risha (BRAC University), and Dr. Gina Ziervogel, AXA Award at the University of Cape Town, wrote the stories based on their field research that recognized students learn and discuss climate change differently. The comic aims to put a human face on issues and give people a sense of agency, meaning they are capable of acting, and hope that they can adapt to climate change
