I became fascinated with Cuba in 2003. After the fall of the USSR, their imports of oil were cut in half. How could people survive with greatly reduced fossil fuels? I learned that Cuba’s strong culture values of community, cooperation, sufficiency and sharing, where at the heart of their success. Out of this came my first film, The Power of Community. With this next film, Earth Island, I want to detail Cuba’s groundbreaking work in cutting energy use and CO2 emissions and show how the same community values are at the heart of their developing a creative response to climate change.

Bush had a long list of trans-Atlantic issues on his plate for his last summit with the heads of the EU, held in scenic countryside in Slovenia, amid majestic mountain ranges in the Central European nation. One issue dominating the talks was Iran, with Bush and the EU leaders agreeing that Tehran had to fully disclose any nuclear weapons work and allow the International Atomic Energy Agency to verify that work. "We have got to continue to work together to make it clear, abundantly clear to them that it's their choice to make: they can either face isolation or they can have better relations with all of us if they verifiably suspend their enrichment programme," he told reporters after the summit in Kranj. Speaking to reporters on the lush, sun-splashed lawn outside the summit venue, Brdo Castle, Bush also addressed the issue of Cuba, saying the regime should release "all political prisoners".

Cuba is a tropical paradise. It is the largest and yet least known island in the Caribbean. In recent years it has become famous for its old American cars, Fidel Castro's brand of communism, cigars and rum. Millions of tourists visit each year to enjoy the tropical climate and the wonderful beaches and warm seas.But there is another Cuba, the little known wildlife of this Caribbean island. Over half the plants and animals are found nowhere else on earth. Over 80% of the reptiles and amphibians are uniquely Cuban. They include the smallest four-legged animal on earth and the world's most aggressive crocodile. This programme looks at these little known creatures and investigates how they arrived on Cuba and when?The Story starts in the Caribbean Sea. Cuba has many unspoilt reefs that team with colourful fish. This is due in part to the recent communist regime, for there has been strict control over boats and very limited fishing.. So the reefs have remained pristine, a glimpse of how the rest of the Caribbean looked before development degraded so much.

United States investment in Cuban enterprises increased, and plantations, refineries, railroads, and factories passed to American (and thus absentee) ownership. This economic dependence led to charges of "Yankee imperialism," strengthened when a revolt headed by José Miguel Gómez led to a new U.S. military occupation (1906–9). William Howard Taft and Charles Magoon acted as provisional governors. After supervising the elections, the U.S. forces withdrew, only to return in 1912 to assist putting down black protests against discrimination. Sugar production increased, and in World War I the near-destruction of Europe's beet-sugar industry raised sugar prices to the point where Cuba enjoyed its "dance of the millions." The boom was followed by collapse, however, and wild fluctuations in prices brought repeated hardship. Politically, the country suffered fraudulent elections and increasingly corrupt administrations. Gerardo Machado as president (1925–33) instituted vigorous measures, forwarding mining, agriculture, and public works, then abandoned his great projects in favor of suppressing opponents. Machado was overthrown in 1933, and from then until 1959 Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar, a former army sergeant, dominated the political scene, either directly as president or indirectly as army chief of staff. With Franklin Delano Roosevelt's administration a new era in U.S. relations with Cuba began: Sumner Welles was sent as ambassador, the Platt Amendment was abandoned in 1934, the sugar quota was revised, and tariff rulings were changed to favor Cuba. Economic problems continued, however, complicated by the difficulties associated with U.S. ownership of many of the sugar mills and the continuing need for diversification. In March, 1952, shortly before scheduled presidential elections, Batista seized power through a military coup. Cuban liberals soon reacted, but a revolt in 1953 by Fidel Castro was abortive. In 1956, however, Castro landed in eastern Cuba and took to the Sierra Maestra, where, aided by Ernesto "Che" Guevara, he reformed his ranks and waged a much-publicized guerrilla war. The United States withdrew military aid to Batista in 1958, and Batista finally fled on Jan. 1, 1959. Land and People of Cuba: Cuba is the largest and westernmost of the islands of the West Indies and lies strategically at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico, only 90 mi (145 km) from Florida. The south coast is washed by the Caribbean Sea, the north coast by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and in the east the Windward Passage separates Cuba from Haiti. The shores are often marshy and are fringed by coral reefs and cays. There are many fine seaports – Havana (the chief import point), Cienfuegos, Matanzas, Cárdenas, Nuevitas, Santiago de Cuba, and Guantánamo (a U.S. naval base since 1903). Of the many rivers, only the Cauto is important. The climate is semitropical and generally uniform, and like most other Caribbean nations Cuba is subject to hurricanes. Cuba has three mountain regions: the wild and rugged Sierra Maestra in the east, rising to 6,560 ft (2,000 m) in the Pico Turquino; a lower range, the scenic Sierra de los Organos, in the west; and the Sierra de Trinidad, a picturesque mass of hills amid the plains and rolling country of central Cuba, a region of vast sugar plantations. The rest of the island is level or rolling. The origins of the population include Spanish (over 35%), African (over 10%), and mixed Spanish-African (over 50%). Spanish is spoken and Roman Catholicism, the dominant religion, is tolerated by the Marxist government. Santeria, an African-derived faith, is also practiced, and there are a growing number of Protestant evangelical churches. The principal institutions of higher learning are the University of Havana (founded 1728), in Havana; Universidad de Oriente, in Santiago de Cuba; and Central Universidad de las Villas, in Santa Clara.

A US delegation of business leaders spent their second day in Cuba touring local enterprises that showcase the efforts by the Communist government to create a more open economy. Thomas J. Donohue, the President of the US Chamber of Commerce was leading the delegation, the first to visit the island since 1999. Donohue and the other delegates toured a car repair cooperative near Havana's International Airport on Wednesday. "People in the government, people in the business community, and people in the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, we're very pleased to be here, we are learning a lot about the changes," Donohue said. Donohue said there was great interest in the US in how Cuba was attempting to transform its highly centralised economy. American business leaders have called for a relaxation of the more than 50-year-old US trade embargo on the island, eager to invest in an economy only 90 miles (145 kilometres) from the US mainland. But domestic political considerations and strained relations with the Castro government have thwarted such efforts in the past.

But right now without talking about climate change, we have a problem with dealing with climate related disasters in the region". 8. Graphics 9. Close-shot of documents on climate change 10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Omar Afflick, Caribbean Disaster Response Agency "We, however, are especially interested in the southern coast of our island where our largest concentration of population is and the height of the land is merely, more or less, 15 feet above sea level and you are talking about over 700-thousand people being concentrated in such an area. With a rise in sea level, it has major implications in terms of storm surges, erosion of beaches and the tourism that provides a great deal of economic revenue, will also be affected on the northern coast". 11.

The great concern for the islands of the Caribbean is how to survive today and how to survive in the future". 17. Dr Kari Keipi of the Inter-American Development Bank speaking at the conference 18. Delegates Abel Centella and Dr Tomás Gutiérrez, Director General of the Institute of Meteorology, listening to the conference STORYLINE: This week, dozens of delegates from the Caribbean region met in Havana to form a coordinated response plan to climatic change. Predictions issued by the Cuban Institute of Meteorology warn of increasingly violent cyclones, of intensifying drought and of rising sea levels throughout the Caribbean this century. The consequences could mean disaster for millions. Poverty, populated low-lying territory, and economies reliant on agriculture and tourism make the Caribbean highly vulnerable to what climatologists here in Havana fear are dramatic weather changes that are already underway. The United Nations backed conference focused on how to protect the region's population and to minimise the impact of climatic change. According to the United Nations Development Program, low lying areas of the Caribbean may soon no longer exist due to rising sea levels. In recent years the severity of regional droughts and of storms such as Hurricane Mitch in 1998 has risen.
