Climate Change Documentaries

RTD’s climate change documentaries investigate how rising average global temperatures disrupt communities and ecosystems around the world. Our films take you to meet city dwellers in Iraq and farmers in India’s Punjab who are being badly hit by water shortages caused in part by climate change.

In rural Punjab, water shortages caused in part by climate change have got so bad the fight for water is dominating every aspect of community life.

With RTD’s climate change documentaries, you can also observe how the melting Arctic ice cap is changing the behaviour of Russian polar bears, while in Thailand, coral reefs are threatened by even small rises in ocean temperatures, and on Russia’s Yamal Peninsula, giant sinkholes are appearing in the thawing permafrost.
