Ade Adepitan travels to the Solomon Islands to see the dramatic effect rising sea levels are having on local communities.

The Solomon Islands produce less than one hundredth of 1% of global greenhouse gases. But along with other low-lying Pacific islands, they are paying the highest price as rising sea levels puts them on the frontline of climate change.

Ade talks to Gladys Habu and visits Kale Island, one of the first islands in the world to disappear beneath the waves because of climate change.

And as the sea level continues to rise, Gladys’ village is now under threat.

This clip is suitable for teaching KS3 and KS4 / GCSE geography in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and National 4/5 in Scotland.



In this series of short films for secondary schools, Ade Adepitan travels to places on the frontline of climate change to see the damage caused and how we can fight it.
