Climate Change: Ade on the Frontline
Channel: S3
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Nature, Wildlife, Documentary 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.
The Solomon Islands and Australia
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.
Bangladesh and Bhutan
Ade travels through the stunning water world of Bangladesh's Ganges delta, before heading into the remote Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan.
The Bangladesh delta is stunning and lush – but it's also under threat from the increasingly extreme weather that climate change is causing.
The cyclones rolling in from the Indian Ocean are an enormous problem for such a low-lying country: a quarter of Bangladesh is just a few feet above sea level.
But Bangladesh is blessed with one of nature's greatest defences against the tidal surges caused by extreme weather: mangrove trees.
Ade joins a government effort – racing against the tide – to plant huge new areas with mangroves.
In Bhutan, Ade discovers how melting Himalayan glaciers are affecting the entire world. He also meets a yak herder and hears how hard life is getting for normal people there.
But after speaking with the prime minister of Bhutan, Ade discovers how Bhutan isn't just carbon neutral, it's carbon negative.
Scandinavia
For the final leg of his journey, Ade heads to Scandinavia.
Starting in the frozen islands of Svalbard and heading through Sweden and Denmark, he sees how winter temperatures have risen by an astonishing amount in the Arctic, takes a look at how Copenhagen is attempting to become carbon neutral by 2025 and learns how valuable peat is in our fight against climate change.
Along the way, he meets someone preparing for the apocalypse in a Swedish forest and talks with Greta Thunberg about how younger generations are determined to turn things around.
