About the Series

Image removed.Four short films were produced for CGIAR by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions as part of the “Climate and Us” series.

“The Climate and Us” is produced in collaboration with the Global Climate and Health Alliance and explores solutions to some of the most pressing climate and health challenges. ​

CGIAR’s contribution will encourage audiences to consider climate and health through the perspective of food, land and water transformation.​

Each film tells the stories of individuals, communities and researchers that are driving transformative change by measuring the impact of climate change on human health, mitigating climate change to protect human health and adapting our environments and ways of working to create resilient systems that can withstand the effects of the climate emergency.

The dairy farmers securing milk supply

a
play
The impacts of climate change pose significant challenges to dairy production, affecting milk quantity, quality and overall sustainability. The MoreMilk project focuses on enhancing milk safety for consumers while improving the business practices and profitability of milk vendors. And, the African Dairy Genetic Gains project aims to enhance the productivity and resilience of African dairy cattle by developing adapted genetics.

The ancient invention critical to daily life

a
play
The Malwathu Oya, Mi Oya and Yan Oya river basins are considered to be the most vulnerable to extreme weather and climate change in Sri Lanka. A project to rehabilitate ancient ‘tank’ cascade systems is supporting rural communities in the Dry Zone by allowing for more distributed water storage and groundwater infiltration.

The future of Egypt's fisheries

a
play
Egypt faces increasing challenges from climate change and scarce water resources are set to become even more at risk. The In-Pond Raceway System (IPRS) is a climate-smart aquaculture technology that enables increased yield, improves water use efficiency, and reduces global gas emissions. It’s a closed system that recirculates water and requires minimal use of drugs and chemicals. 

The leaf helping yam farmers stop pests

a
play
In the Bono East Region of Ghana, yam farmers are experiencing reduced yields and financial losses due to climate change-induced pest and disease outbreaks. Production has increased thanks to the introduction of a method that involves using Neem Leaf Powder, a biopesticide derived from the neem tree.
