ADAPTATION

A series that explores the remarkable ways humans adapt to environmental change

Available on PBS Digital


With the persistence of environmental change, people across the world are experimenting daily with different adaptive methods on the ground. These adaptation strategies can be powerful places to look during a time of such uncertainty. This series presents a collection of real-life examples that showcase how people adjust, persevere, and thrive under even the most difficult of conditions. From Bangladesh to Vanuatu to the United States, Alizé Carrère speaks with people who are finding new ways to live in the midst of a global climate crisis. At the heart of each of their stories is a mindset that we can all learn from: when we work with nature — not against it — transformational solutions can emerge. Instead of asking what we are losing in the process of adapting, ADAPTATION instead asks, what are we regaining?
