PAS-DE-CALAIS, PEAKS AND TROUGHS

The grim realities of climate change

An episode from the series EARTH ON EDGE

Synopsis

The Pas-de-Calais is one of the most beautiful regions in France, thanks to an exceptional natural heritage and a coastline aptly named the Opal Coast.

However, it faces many climatic disasters: repeated storms that nibble away at the beaches, rising waters, torrential rain, land in danger because it is below sea level, and crops devastated by extreme weather.
