In a world where climate change is threatening the very existence of our planet, we must take urgent action to address this global crisis. Dynamic Planet, a documentary series filmed over three years, explores the work and lives of extraordinary people and animals on the front lines of climate change. The series travels to the most extreme places on all seven continents to highlight what is under threat due to climate change.
The first episode, titled “ICE,” showcases how melting icescapes are changing human and animal life in Antarctica, the Arctic, and the Himalayas. Researchers study seals and humpback whales up close to understand how nature is adapting to these changes. This episode underscores the urgency of addressing climate change and demonstrates how science, nature, and Indigenous knowledge can prepare us for the future.
Dynamic Planet features stunning cinematography of wildlife in some of the most remote places on Earth. From polar bears in Antarctica to tigers in India’s forests, this series captures it all. It highlights not only the devastating effects of climate change but also shows how nature is adapting in surprising ways.
As temperatures rise and icecaps melt, oceans warm, forests burn, and weather patterns change, leaving our world as we know it under threat. With Earth heating twice as fast as it was four decades ago, we must act now to mitigate the impact of climate change.
