David Attenborough and scientist Johan Rockström examine the unfolding crisis and how we can still avoid the worst of it.
• The Reluctant Radical — If a crime is committed in order to prevent a greater crime, is it forgivable? Is it moral? Follows activist Ken Ward as he confronts his fears and puts himself in the direct path of oil and gas companies to combat climate change.
