This Is Our Earth

A film based on the Earth's climate and how climate change is changing the world as we know it.

This is our Earth - full of beauty and wonder, full of natural resources which humanity has used to develop and thrive. However we are not sharing these resources fairly or using them in a responsible and sustainable way. If we all lived like we do in high income countries, we would need three planets to support us. Is this fair to our Earth? Is this fair to all the people in it?
