Living with climate change - The daily battle against heat and rain | DW Documentary
In the global North, climate change is often still something very abstract. For people in countries like India or the Philippines, however, it is already very real. Extreme heat dominates everyday life. Heavy rain washes away houses and roads.Joan Baking lives with her family in a cemetery in the Philippine capital Manila. Temperatures of more than 30 degrees already prevail there in March. The only way to cool down in the small house is a fan on the ceiling. Joan is pregnant and her body is suffering from heat stress, for which she is taking medication. As a result, her son is born with a severe form of asthma. A disease that worsens in the heat. The family cannot afford hospital treatment.
In the Indian state of Uttarakhand, people have always lived with the monsoon rains. In August 2022, however, the rainfall was so heavy that a tidal wave swept through the Doon Valley, tearing away everything near the banks. The village of Maldevta was completely buried under rubble and mud. 18-year-old Shivani lost her father. Now she and her siblings have to build a new house - further away from the river -- without the support of their father. They cannot estimate how heavy the next monsoon rains will be. But they have been living in constant fear of new floods ever since the last disaster.
