May 5th (World Environment Day) has been for 50 years the main event of the UN to inform the public about environmental problems facing our planet.

Fortunately there are people who think every day about the environment and have created for us documentaries that explain with clear and at the same time interesting eyes some of the most important phenomena that pollute, burden the environment or anyway contribute to the destruction of our planet.

You can also find all five documentaries on popular streaming platforms and watch them today.

Some of the leading scientists explain what could happen if global warming continues up to 1.5 degrees. We see the consequences of increased temperature on vulnerable ecosystems, the ice and of course extreme weather events.
