The climate crisis continues to wreak havoc disproportionately in the global south, often resulting in devastating losses to livelihoods and even life itself. In a bid to mitigate the impacts of the climate crisis, communities are constantly forced to adapt to their changing environments.
Featured in this documentary series, Anjana, Sreejith and Dipika come from vastly different regions of India. But all three have one thing in common: they are making an invaluable impact on the lives of the people they share their communities with and beyond, by communicating and implementing low cost and low tech solutions to adjust to the climate crisis.
In Maharashtra, Anjana dedicates her life to protecting her fellow farmers’ harvests from climateexacerbated events like worsening droughts, with ingenious low-tech adaptation solutions.
In Gujarat, Dipika travels door to door in her slum settlement, teaching others how to be more resilient to the climate crisis, and ways to cope with the increasingly brutal heat of the summer months.
In Kerala, a family continues their fathers extraordinary mangrove conservation legacy, resulting in greater protection for coastal communities from extreme weather events.
