Korea’s Sea Diving Women Fight for Survival Against Climate Change | Amanpour and Company
aired in PBS 

Too often, the worst effects of climate change are experienced by those who contribute to it the least. Few people feel this more deeply than the Haenyeo women of Jeju Island, off South Korea. This community of women has been diving for generations and they’re witnessing first hand how the climate crisis is destroying the very ecosystem they depend on, putting everything they know and love at great risk. Hari Sreenivasan travelled to the island to speak with these remarkable women, in a conversation that is part of the ongoing public media initiative Peril and Promise, on the challenges and solutions of climate change.
