Climate change is among the greatest risks to human existence. It is like a nuclear war in slow motion. In fact, it’s likely to cause much more havoc: climate change threatens every nation, the humanity at large. Water resources, agriculture, food security, human health, our houses, industries, and all our resources are all at risk. It is important to understand the nature of those risks, where natural and human systems are likely to be most vulnerable: in developing countries and among the disadvantaged groups.

To understand better the potential impacts and danger of climate change, CSE and TVE brings you a potent and unique collection of 22 films. This is your chance: make use of these films, encourage critical reflection, help disseminate information on the impact and the potential dangers to each of us, and promote collaborative learning and action.

Big and small, rich and poor, powerful and powerless — all will have to cooperate to achieve a global objective for the global good

This can only happen if there is a sense of fairness in the burden-sharing arrangements. Which raises some very difficult questions.

For example, is one tonne of a greenhouse gas produced by a New Yorker or a Londoner equal to a tonne of the same gas produced by a peasant in Guatemala, Chad or Bangladesh?

The simple, moral answer is 'no'.

The former is the result of luxury. The latter, basic survival. Both of them go into the atmosphere. But one needs to be controlled and the other needs to be supported...
