Multimedia Project Global Ideas (Phase I) - "Sustainable" - The Programme Initiative on DW television
This project provided insight into the causes and effects of climate change as well as information on exemplary climate projects in developing countries and emerging economies. The aim was to sensitise viewers to the issue and spur imitation projects. To this end, the project has developed an online information platform and produced television reports and documentaries that were broadcasted across the globe in several languages by Deutsche Welle (satellite) and its partner stations. The television reports have a direct connection to the circumstances of the local population. They could be downloaded from the internet platform where more extensive background information was available.
