RTE’s article ‘Climate Change, Water Pollution and Human Rights’ by Dr John Gilding is available now from Amazon.co.uk.

It is a story about how a few well-meaning people have taken the risks of climate change, pollution and water pollution very seriously and the impact they are having on the world’s future.

It tells how they have been challenged by powerful vested interests and the fact that there are very few voices standing up for them. 

It is also a story of a few people who are determined to fight for the protection of the world and their own well-being, even when it means taking a risk that is potentially deadly.

The book is a companion to the film, Climate Change: How to Save the World.

It will be available in bookstores across the UK and Ireland on Friday 15 September.

We will be broadcasting this story at 11am on Saturday 16 September.
