Can rain be a bad thing? It can when there's too much - too much wind, too many storms, extended drought - these are all impacts we should expect from climate change, warn scientists.
We travel to the Asia Pacific region, where the worst impacts are expected to occur, to find out how communities are coping with the effects of climate change.
In Gujarat, India, fishermen are beset by storms and farmers have either too much, or too little rain. Yet the local government is doing its best to mitigate the impacts of climate change by moving to cleaner transport systems.
The regional capital Ahmedabad once one of India's dirtiest cities is now one of its cleanest.
In the South Pacific island of Kiribati they are literally on the frontline of climate change - the island is only 3 meters above sea level at its highest point. Melting ice and thermal expansion mean the island could be submerged in 50 to 100 years. We find out how the community is planning to confront this eventuality, by migrating to neighboring countries.

The history of mankind has been tainted by armed conflicts provoked by religious, territorial or even ideological disputes. Loss of life, bombing, pillage, explosions, rape and torture are but a few of the direct consequences of these wars. Long after the event conflicts leave scars that are difficult to heal. All over the world we encounter orphaned children, traumatized survivors, people who have lost everything, lands sown with anti-personnel mines, towns in ruins... The challenge we face is to rebuild that which has been destroyed.

Use this resource to encourage students to judge whether or not climate change will impact upon people differently around the world. The impacts of climate change can be quite hard to see in the UK, but as our fantastic footage from the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, Africa, the Alps, Bangladesh, India and China shows, it's all too much of a reality for the poorest and most vulnerable. The DVD also provides clear explanations of the processes that can cause climate change and gets students engaged in the debate about the extent to which these are caused naturally or are the result of human activity.
