Cornwall's Climate Stories: Living on the Edge

Ultra-runner Emma Hazeldine explores the Cornish coast and discovers how people face climate change impacts such as sea level rise, storms and coastal erosion.

Cornwall has a longer coastline and is battered by bigger waves than any county in England. The sometimes violent drama that plays out around Cornwall’s shores has always been a part of its identity.

But as climate change brings rising sea levels and worsening storms, what will this mean for Cornwall’s coastal communities?

The film is presented by passionate ultra runner Emma Hazeldine, who takes us on a journey around the Cornish coast path, visiting places that are already being impacted in sometimes surprising ways – and coming up with a range of responses to the challenges that lie just beyond the horizon.
