Also as part of BBC World's Climate Watch season, Climate Challenge
investigates nations' fears of an economic slump that might occur as a switch is made to low carbon economies. Some governments are starting to come to the conclusion that the only realistic alternative is nuclear power, despite the implications of the build-up of radioactive waste, reactor accidents and rogue state uranium enrichment. Climate Challenge explores the possibilities asking whether the choices are really this stark and whether counter-measures are available to governments, businesses, communities and individuals.

The BBC's interactive mulitmedia programme Have Your Say focuses on climate change as part of the Climate Watch season on BBC World this week. Ahead of the release of the second report from the meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on how it will affect human health, cities, agriculture, industry and different species, presenter Lucy Hockings leads a discussion on how much of this is caused by human activity. She also looks at the arguments of a minority of scientists that dispute the claims that carbon dioxide causes global warming.

One in five of the global population lives in absolute poverty. Extreme poverty and hunger are directly linked to the role of agriculture, yet during the 1990s investment in agriculture was halved while the number in need of food aid doubled. BBC World presenter Nik Gowing moderates the World Debate, with an international cast of guests including Crawford Falconer, Agricultural Chairman, World Trade Organisation; Dr Makanjuola Olaseinde Arigbede, Union of Small and Medium Scale Farmers of Nigeria (USMEFAN); and Duncan Greene, Head of Research, Oxfam, to discuss whether the world is failing the small farmer.
