- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
This week the Vatican is playing host to an international conference on climate change, at which many of the world's mayors and governors will discuss how we can adapt to the challenges of global warming. Could religious leaders help to win over some people who wouldn't listen to politicians? Plus: we talk about why more new homeowners are taking out ultra-long mortgages and the phenomenon of "Swiftonomics".
On each episode of The Week Unwrapped, Olly Mann and writers and editors from The Week delve behind the headlines and debate what really matters from the past seven days.
