What does it mean to grow up as a guardian of a world you did not create, but must now protect?

In this episode of UNESCO Reads, we explore the Team Planet Series, created in partnership with Hachette UK. Designed for children aged 8 and above, these books follow groups of young explorers as they discover their natural environments and cultural heritage. Through history, science and geography, they uncover why these places matter, the damage they may face, and the solutions being developed to protect them.

More than just stories, Team Planet aims to raise awareness of the challenges facing our planet and to inspire the next generation to safeguard them.

Featuring Vicky Brooker (publisher at Hachette), Louise Kay Stewart (author of the series), Cristina Puerta (editorial coordinator and Head of Publications at UNESCO) and Manoel Giffoni (expert from UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Programme and contributor to the writing of Team Planet: Protect Biosphere Reserves).

Prepared by Diana Sharafieva and Isabelle Le Fournis. Produced by Emmanuel Rudowski. Voiced by Diana Sharafieva.
