A series of programmes on climate change will be broadcast on BBC TV World and will feature the Ashden Award projects on biogas in China and India and fuel efficient stoves in Cambodia.

A series of programmes looking at the challenges presented by climate change will be shown on BBC World TV in April and May.

Three of the episodes will feature the work of 12 previous Ashden Award winners.

Robert Lamb, series producer said, "Climate change can seem overwhelming, leaving a member of the public asking what possible difference can I make? The Ashden award winners are the best answer I can think of to that question. I was therefore delighted that the BBC was prepared to give us so much airtime to feature inspiring stories from Barnsley to Bangladesh."

The three episodes featuring our winners are:

April 25 – ‘The Home Front’, with Shaanxi Mothers from China, Kirklees from the UK, GERES in Cambodia and ARTI in India.

May 2 – ‘Doing the Business’, with SEEDS from Sri Lanka, IDEI from India, MRHP from Tanzania and Grameen Shakti from Bangladesh.

May 9 – ‘Bright Ideas’, with Rahimafrooz from Bangladesh, Aprovecho from Malawi and from the UK Barnsley Metropolitan Council and Cassop primary school.

The episode on April 25th will feature the Ashden Award projects that focus on biogas in China and India and fuel efficient stoves in Cambodia.
