Dutch climate stories |
|
The Finish public broadcaster YLE is producing a series of international climate stories to transmit and publish during the Paris Climate Summit 2015. Foreign correspondent Maria Tolsa also visits the Netherlands to see how the Dutch cope with the changing climate. She visits a Room for the River location in the Dutch delta where land is prepared for flooding and farms and houses were put on higher grounds and walks along with the Climate Miles walk to Paris by the Dutch environmental pressure group Urgenda. On the island Texel a story is produced about salt potatoes that can be cultivated with salt water and in Rotterdam YLE covers the efforts that are made to fight the increasing rainfall. Maria visits the water square that can function as a water storage and a farm on a rooftop that promotes green rooftops because they retain rain water.
Activities: research, advice, set-up, planning, accompanying filming.
