MARTINIQUE, THE OTHER SIDE OF PARADISE

The grim realities of climate change

An episode from the series EARTH ON EDGE

Synopsis

Pascal Saffache is a geographer and whistleblower. He has been giving conferences to raise awareness among the population and the political class of Martinique about the climate problems facing the island, particularly the rising sea level.

Has the island adapted to the multiple threats to its coasts, its agriculture, and its economy?

For this climate change expert, it might, unfortunately, take a cyclone to sweep through the territory for the population to wake up to the risks to come.
