The World Bank - Climate Change

Documentary shorts highlight impact of climate change on people in East Asia & Pacific

By James I Davison From EAP Blog on January 30, 2009

When it comes to climate change, many believe the world's poorest people in developing countries will be affected the worst. A "micro-documentary" contest hosted by the World Bank's Social Development Department challenged filmmakers from around the world to highlight the social aspects of climate change.

Several of the contest entries focused on countries and peoples in the East Asia and Pacific, including the third-place film about one of the last remaining peat swamp forests in Aceh, Indonesia.

After the jump [1], watch another film depicting the climate crisis in the Pacific Island nation of Kiribati.

Read more about the contest [2] and see the rest of the winners [3] and other entries at the contest site [2].
