Unburnable: The People vs. Arctic Oil

Growing up in the Philippines, Joanna always loved typhoon season; it meant time off school, at home with the family. But in late 2013, when Typhoon Haiyan - the strongest storm in recorded history - struck her home, Joanna’s life changed forever. Her story joins the global voices which echo how climate change has moved beyond just theories and statistics; it now threatens our fundamental right to a safe environment.

Protecting this basic right has become paramount. As the government of Norway moves to open up new areas of the Arctic for oil exploration, we meet the people pioneering a new way to combat climate change - by taking the government itself to court.
