Pope Francis, the head of the Catholic Church, has died at 88 of a stroke and a heart attack. His death means a process called the papal conclave is about to begin, where senior Church leaders will gather in the Sistine Chapel, sequestered from the world, to elect a new Pope. In today’s episode, we’ll explain what we know about this mysterious process, who the contenders are, and why this all comes down to different colours of smoke.

2025 is not a climate election.
Young people voted in droves in 2022 for change, in what was dubbed the ‘climate election’.
