In large parts of the globe, especially poorer, warmer places, it would be ridiculous to talk about a coming crisis. People have been coping with very tangible and disastrous effects of climate change for years. A few of our coming episodes will take us to places in the global South. Countries that the Western powers victimized for a long time.
Southeast Asia is especially vulnerable to storms, rising oceans, and other climate effects—though countries in the region did very little to create the crisis. In Indonesia, among other climate-related challenges, the capital city is sinking into the sea. Part 5 of our series, The Repair, on the climate emergency.
