Living with climate change

Available for over a year

World leaders are meeting in Egypt at the COP27 climate conference to discuss action to limit the rise in global temperatures. While they talk, we have been bringing people together to share how the world around them is changing. Three people in the Bahamas, US and UK discuss their experiences of extreme weather. Between them, they’ve escaped wildfires, hurricanes and one even lost part of his home to the sea. Alexander tells us how he had to wear a respirator when he was driving a taxi in Portland, Oregon, because of the smoke from forest fires. Shavone shares her story of a dramatic escape with her children from a storm in the Bahamas and Lance in the UK explains why he still lives in a house that lost its kitchen to the waves. We also get a unique perspective on what the world looks like from the top of the highest mountain. Tendi Sherpa, who has climbed Everest 14 times and Lalaina Ramaroson, a tour guide in Madagascar, discuss how their countries are changing and the impact of climate change on plants and animals. Plus, tap water from sewage and how not to waste it in restaurants – we share tips from people working on solutions in India, Senegal and Texas in the US. (Photo: Tendi Sherpa Credit: Tendi Sherpa)
