If you’re looking for an educational and engaging show about climate issues, then I’m sharing my latest discovery with you! It’s the Quebec-based French language show called Climat d’urgence.
I’ve just finished the first six episodes, and I was shaken, to say the least, by the images and the information put forward.

A shocking, hard-hitting show that left a mark on me. Let’s get into it…

Actor Vincent Graton takes us to the four corners of the globe to raise awareness of the impact of climate change on ecosystems and human lives.

“In Bangladesh, 15 to 20% of the population is constantly underwater. 50 to 80% of the population is underwater every time there’s a flood.” Runa Khan, founder of Friendship.

By offering gripping stories and enlightening perspectives, the documentary educates, raises awareness and inspires people to take action for our planet.
It draws attention to crucial issues such as biodiversity conservation and local initiatives to combat climate change.

Also, “In Quebec, the St. Lawrence River is warming, directly threatening the survival of species. Among them, the right whale: without immediate action, it could disappear within the next 20 years.” Lyne Morissette, marine biologist.

Every episode features touching and inspiring stories of people and communities fighting for a more sustainable future.
Here’s the trailer for those of you who are curious:

The whole season will be available free of charge on TV5Unis from September 13, and new episodes will also air on TV5 every Friday at 8 p.m.

In short, Vincent will once again take us on a journey around the world. In particular, he will be stopping off in Athens to observe citizens’ initiatives to combat the sweltering heat and to protect Greece’s cultural heritage.

The actor will also visit Peru to meet specialists and farmers who are stepping up their efforts and ingenuity as they face more frequent water shortages.
Or he’ll go to Guatemala again and see the reality of the impacts first-hand. Lahars, hurricanes and droughts persist on one hand—and mudslides caused by torrential rains threaten entire villages on the other.
He will also tour California and discover the impact of coastal erosion. It’s an unprecedented situation, but one to which the local population has shown its resilience and adaptability.
