Evia’s inferno

Available for over a year

With the UN climate conference in Glasgow drawing to a close, Assignment brings us the final programme in a series telling the stories of three places devastated by extreme weather events. Maria Margaronis travels to the Greek island of Evia, where vast areas of centuries-old forests, olive groves and houses were burned by a week-long inferno. And now come the rains, bringing polluted water and mudslides. Presented by Maria Margaronis and produced by Mark Burman.
