Christian Aid Joins Green TV for 'Climate Changed' Campaign

Christian Aid has recently joined forces with environmental broadband TV channel green.tv to recruit people to its new 'climate changed' campaign.

Three short films on the channel have been launched by the charity, which will appear in the climate change, technology and land sections of the site.

Forests on the frontline follows actor Kris Marshall as he investigates the destruction of the rainforest in northern Bolivia; Power to the people demonstrates how solar projects in Malawi are transforming lives and Climate changed campaign asks business and the UK Government to take responsibility for reducing carbon emissions.

Launched in March 2006, green.tv attracts 150,000 unique users a month and is the brainchild of Largeblue, the UK's leading commercial producer of environmental films.

Ade Thomas, managing director of green.tv said: "green.tv is a project built on the principle of partnership. It's great to be able to work with Christian Aid in order to show the illuminating films they produce highlighting their important work in the field. We're looking forward to bringing a large global broadband and video podcast audience to this content."

Isabel Morgan, executive producer at Christian Aid said: "green.tv provides a fantastic opportunity for Christian Aid to promote its messages about climate change to an ever increasing on-line audience. It is the perfect platform to tell the stories of people in the developing world whose lives can be improved through our project work and to highlight our political campaigning on climate change in the UK."

Working in 50 countries with 700 partner organisations, Christian Aid plans to upload more environmental films onto green.tv over the coming year. In particular it will be submitting films from its planned 1,000 mile 'Cut the carbon' march which begins in July and will be the UK's longest ever protest march.
