ADAPTATION Series Synopsis:
Rising seas, glacial melt, and the spread of invasive species are just a few of the serious environmental challenges threatening communities around the world today. With scientist and National Geographic Explorer Alizé Carrère as our guide, ADAPTATION presents us with four unique examples of the brilliant and surprising ways that communities are adapting to change. Carrère takes us from the lush deltas of Bangladesh to the arid valleys of the Himalayan mountains, to the colorful reefs of the South Pacific and to the muddy rivers of the American Midwest, revealing the creative ways people are confronting environmental crises.

Alizé Carrère is a National Geographic Explorer, filmmaker and environmental anthropologist researching and documenting human adaptations to environmental change. After moving to Montreal to complete a B.A. at McGill University in Environmental Sciences and International Development, she spent time living in Panama before returning to McGill to complete an M.Sc. in Integrated Water Resource Management. During this time, she lived in the Middle East studying the relationship between electronic waste and water pollution in Israel and Palestine.
In 2013, Alizé received support from National Geographic to conduct research in Madagascar, where she spent several months uncovering an unlikely agricultural adaptation in response to severe deforestation. Her work evolved into a broader film project about human creativity and resourcefulness in the face of environmental uncertainty. She continues to study innovative adaptations to climate change, and recently completed a four-part series for PBS that covers these stories. The first episode, documenting community adaptations to sea level rise in Bangladesh, won Best Short Film at the New York Wild Film Festival and the Norman Vaughan Indomitable Spirit Award at the Telluride Mountainfilm Festival.
Alizé is currently pursuing her PhD at the University of Miami in Ecosystem Science and Policy. Her research focuses on relationship between architecture, climate change and urban utopias.
