Brand-new documentaries and features with Irish perspective on the global climate crisis and practical ways we can all make a difference
RT has announced that it is to put an increased focus on climate with dedicated content to coincide with Science Week. RT On Climate will see brand-new content across tv, radio and online, and dedicated news features across the week of the 11th to 15th of November.

Dee Forbes, Director General, RT said: The world is rising to the burning issue of climate change, and here in Ireland our young people have been especially moved by the climate crisis. This special week reflects the growing concern, globally and here at home, and offers a whole range of content that not only analyses where we are and how we got here, but looks at what we can do. Ultimately our own individual actions will define how we as a community respond on this issue. RT On Climate is our contribution to framing, explaining and, ultimately, moving us all one step closer to solving the problem.
