The Longest Day: Climate Change in Real Time
Climate change is more than a set of abstract projections and statistics. It is the daily reality for millions of people in Asia’s cities, villages, and coasts.

We follow these people as they deal with water shortages in the Mekong Delta and Jakarta, what coastal communities in Indonesia's Sumba island and the Sundarbans are doing as they face rapidly rising sea levels, how farmers in Vietnam are looking for solutions to unprecedented long droughts, and how families struggle with extreme heatwaves in Delhi's slums.
