Living Planet

Looking to reconnect with nature? Want to make better decisions for the health of the planet? Our weekly podcast brings you environment news you can use, along with the facts and debates on the key issues of our time.

As the planet faces an ever-evolving climate crisis and our environments change, Living Planet transports you to different corners of the globe to meet the people on the frontlines, explore solutions, tackle misinformation, and marvel at the wondrous, extraordinary aspects of the non-human world around us.

DW's award-winning, weekly podcast now comes to you in three new formats:

  • What's Better? – These episodes tackle the questions we ask ourselves every day. What's better for the environment – coffee or tea? Paper or plastic? Cotton or polyester? We find out to help you make more informed decisions.
  • Deep Dives – These long listens dive deep on issues affecting the health of our planet and all of us who live here. From the promise of carbon capture to farmers' mental health, we're going all in to bring you the latest research and differing viewpoints on important environmental topics.
  • Naturally Connected – In this special series, we explore the places, natural phenomena, and creatures – big and small – that make our planet a truly amazing place. It's a nature documentary for your ears!
