The Solomon Islands and Australia

The world is changing in ways never seen before. Humanity is up against a global problem that threatens our way of life. In this series, Ade Adepitan travels to places on the frontline of climate change to see how life is being affected right now. But he’ll also scour the globe for solutions to climate change – the natural and technological fixes that can help us slow climate change and adapt to the changes already taking place.

Ade begins in the stunning Solomon Islands, and then travels down the east coast of Australia – from the Great Barrier Reef to Tasmania. He sees missing islands in the Solomon Islands, learns about the ‘feminisation’ of green turtles and comes face-to-face with the terror of a bushfire. But he also finds hope in a visit to Tasmania, a region that is already entirely powered by renewable energy.
