Tuvalu - Beneath the Rising Tide
4K Aerial footage of Tuvalu, an isolated coral atoll island nation in the south-west Pacific Ocean. ---This tiny paradise is on the front line of climate change. The 4th smallest country in the world, it has an average elevation of just a few metres above sea level. This makes it especially vulnerable to sea level rise, coastal erosion and flooding which continues to threaten its 11,000 residents. Will the world listen to the plight of small island nations in the Pacific before it is too late?
Beijing Sandstorm (China)
On Monday 15th March 2021, a record breaking sandstorm descended on northern China, engulfing cities including the Chinese capital, Beijing. In recent decades, northern China has suffered from sandstorms as a result of increasing desertification in the north of the country which is largely dry, arid and covered with deserts. Efforts have been made by authorities in recent years to combat desertification, but the once-in-a-decade sandstorm that descended on China in March 2021 is proof that the country still has a long way to go in controlling its deserts.
