This collection draws up the main aspects of climatic change. Sea level rise, growing desertification, deforestation, melting ice at both poles and melting of the glaciers as well as extreme climatic events are already affecting some parts of the world. While the satellites observe the unsettle state of our planet, and the scientists analyze the new climatic data trying to simulate tomorrow's climate, some populations are being exposed to this environmental chaos. They are in fact already witnessing a change in their way of life. Yet their efforts to adapt are sometimes not enough any more and the first migrations of climatic refugees are starting.
We chose places in Oceania, Africa, Asia and North America that are representative and particularly exposed to climatic disruption. In each of these areas we met a population which had been badly hit by an ecological disaster. We show how they are directly engaged in the fight against this sequence of deteriorations in their ecosystem. They tell us how climate change affects their lives, giving us an account of the impact of global climate system disorders at a micro-local level.
