BBC Studios is making a TV show with 17-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg.
The project was announced at the BBC Showcase trade show on Monday.
No network, release date or the number of episodes have yet been set.
Here is the description for the series, which comes from the studio’s science unit.
“The series will follow Greta’s international crusade, which takes her to the front line of climate change in some of the most extraordinary places on earth, as she explores what actions could be taken to limit climate change and the damage it causes.
As she travels Greta meets not only leading scientists but political leaders and business heavyweights, exploring the scientific evidence with them and challenging them to change.
The films will also chart her own journey into adulthood as she continues to be confronted by the real-world consequences of inaction; and will share some of the quiet moments as she writes the impactful speeches that are now broadcast and analyzed around the world, as she lives a teenage life like no other.”
Thunberg appeared in a video presentation last night at the 92nd Oscars, speaking on the power of documentaries.
In the clip, she had a conversation with filmmaker David Attenborough, who she says inspired her to participate in climate-change advocacy.
“Climate change is probably the most important issue of our lives so it feels timely to make an authoritative series that explores the facts and science behind this complex subject,” Rob Liddell, who will produce the series, said in a statement.
“To be able to do this with Greta is an extraordinary privilege, getting an inside view on what it’s like being a global icon and one of the most famous faces on the planet.”

A politically correct, ignorant, mentally ill, bubble-gummer moron being given a show to educate the world about how we’re all going to die in no time flat makes perfect sense for the politically correct, ignorant and moronic BBC.
Climate Change Dispatch appears to be becoming a propaganda site for the Thumbugs and Hanoi Janes of this world. 🙁
In ‘ye olde days’ it was called, “Know your enemy”. Without knowing who, where and why you have little hope of countering the opposition’s moves.

Hey JayPee,
Found that “scientific” paper on Albedo And Climate Change yet?
I thought Brexit was a sane move.
It’s looking more like a stumble on the way to the sanatorium.
Lots of nonsensical British babble since Boris retired Corbyn. A referendum and an election hasn’t fazed the Left.
Boris will pull the plug on BBC, soon. The cuts are already underway.
And the BBC is forcing people aged over 75 to have to pay for a licence. The BBC Charter requires it to be fair, impartial, and to give true debate without taking sides. Instead it has become a propaganda machine. though it still does some good material, and good dramas, it is also now filled with rubbish. time for the licence to be abandoned and BBC to be fee paying by customers. Attenborough should go into quiet retirement.
The BBC and CNN are just about the same leftists propegandist just turn them off
A good reason for DVD/VHS player/Recorder so you don’t have to expose your kids to this stuff
