Sviluppo sostenibile

The planet is facing an immense challenge: man-made climate change. Extreme weather is causing havoc, and rising temperatures threaten species and habitats. How can we adapt and create a sustainable future?  

Overpopulation is a drain on the world’s resources and a serious environmental people. Are there simply too many people on our planet? This documentary travels to different parts of the world to explore this major issue.

Too Many People? Too Much Consumption?

There are too many of us on our planet and we consume too many resources. How can humanity survive?

Earth on the Brink

The biosphere experiment set out to survive in the desert for 120 days using low-tech solutions. For food they learnt how to live off a diet of mushrooms, crickets, and to grow an ancient super food, Spirulina.

Having Enough Food (1/5)

How can you feed yourself self-sufficiently in the desert? An ancient superfood could hold the answer.

Frankenstream is a fable for our times about the rise of streaming technology. What was just fun at first has now taken over our lives and become an all-consuming monster with a massive carbon footprint. The story begins in 1995 when the internet was young and free.

A quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture. Factory farming and extreme use of fertilizers and pesticides pollute our air, pollute our water and destroy our soil. Every year, 24 billion tons of fertile soil are lost worldwide. In Spain, two-thirds of the country is affected by desertification. But there are also soils further north that are similarly desolate. In this episode of Roots, science journalist Pierre Girard meets Remedios Arres in Andalusia and Johanna Häger in Brandenburg, the sandbox of Europe.

The planet's jet streams are being affected by rising temperatures in the Arctic. These streams are part of a wind system that circulates at high altitude around the Earth, and they have an influence on extreme weather events. Changes in them are bad news for life on Earth.
