Steve Backshall travels to the Maldives, an area facing significant challenges because of climate change. In Iceland, Chris Packham learns more about the effects of global warming as local sea temperatures rise. Ella Al-Shamahi visits Cambodia in Southeast Asia, an area experiencing increasing economic growth. However, this expansion is putting massive pressure on natural resources.

Dr. M. Sanjayan explores seven of Earth's bellwether biomes.

Steve Backshall visits the Maldives, a country facing significant climate challenges. He finds these challenges are galvanizing the science community. Liz Bonnin returns to California to investigate some surprising solutions for the onslaught of wildfires. Chris Packham is in Greenland to learn more about the effects of global warming and the rate at which snow and ice are melting in the Arctic.

Innovative efforts to confront climate change in Australia, Brazil, California and Kenya; with Dr. M. Sanjayan.

Our coral reefs are at a tipping point. Consecutive bleaching, caused by climate change, are leaving them with challengingly short periods of time to restore themselves. The science community is experimenting with innovative techniques that just may hold the key to saving the coral. Steve Backshall catches up with the scientists who are making groundbreaking discoveries to save the reefs.

Globally, two billion people rely on rivers for drinking water, and a quarter of the food we eat depends on them. But our rivers are in deep trouble. Pollution, water extraction and huge dams have all taken their toll on freshwater species. As part of the BBC's Changing Planet project, the team travels to California and France to observe revolutionary schemes designed to help the planet's rivers.
