Why does it matter that Greenland is melting?
Greenland is an island covered in a sheet of ice that is over 3km thick in places, containing 7.4 metres of average global sea level rise.
Due to climate change, it’s melting at an astonishing rate.
We meet some of the people being forced to rapidly adapt their traditional ways of life. And find out why ice loss means sea level rises for elsewhere in the world – but the opposite for the island itself
Joining presenter Graihagh Jackson are:
• Mads Malik Fuglsang Holm, reporter in Greenland
• Twila Moon, deputy lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Centre, University of Colorado, USA

Producer: Ben Cooper
Series Producers: Simon Watts and Alex Lewis
Editor: China Collins
Sound Engineer: Tom Brignell
Production Coordinators: Debbie Richford, Sophie Hill and Jacqui Johnson
