The Arctic is warming four times faster than the global average
temperature. Ice caps are melting, forcing the indigenous Inuit
community living around the Northwest passage to change their way
of life. Polar bears and wildlife are losing their habitats and
the ability to hunt.

Further south, Middle Eastern countries are facing temperatures
above 50 Celsius more regularly.

We speak to people living in these rapidly warming parts of the
world and find out why their countries are warming faster than
others and what impact it is having.
