About this Blog

Melting ice caps, catastrophic hurricanes, floods and drought plunging entire regions into a water crisis. These are the drastic images often associated with climate change. But what’s actually being done on the ground to halt global warming? What kind of projects are helping to reduce emissions, inform people and spur them to change their lifestyles?

In more than 100 fascinating video briefs and feature reports, Deutsche Welle, Germany’s international broadcaster, showcases people and projects whose innovative ideas are helping combat global warming – from Thailand to Honduras, Jordan, India and South Africa.

But of course, there are so many more amazing people and clever ideas out there. The GLOBAL IDEAS Blog features imaginative approaches to climate protection beyond our TV-reports, provides a platform for discussion as well as inside commentary from our editors and reporters.
