Innovative Climate Change Solutions: Achieving Net Zero
Companies, governments, civil society organisations, and international bodies are increasingly committing to ambitious carbon reduction targets to tackle the climate crisis. COP26 saw the agreement of global net zero by the mid-21st century. Net zero emissions will not just require unprecedented organisation and international consensus; it will also require a new generation of innovative climate solutions, ranging from technology to our energy systems. Young people are the driving force behind net zero. In this session, learn more about how young leaders are bringing innovative solutions to the climate crisis and what steps need to be taken to reach net zero targets on time.

EXTRACT. DESTROY. REPEAT:
A Deep-Sea Fable
The deep sea is home to the greatest diversity of species and ecosystems on Earth.

This film will use animation and humor to show the beautiful wonder of the deep-sea and mankind's worst tendencies with the goal to bring the urgent topic of deep-sea mining to a broader audience through an enjoyable, engaging and humorous format.
MAME COUMBA BANG - Watch Trailer & Series
This “Living Story” introduces us to Mame Coumba Bang, a goddess living among the people of Saint-Louis in Senegal. Where the mouth of the Senegal River meets the Atlantic sea, there dwells a volatile, shapeshifting spirit. For many years, she has lived in harmony with the community. She controls the flow of the Senegal River, protecting them from the dangerous currents, enabling them to fish, even bathe, in these treacherous waters – but outsiders who do not pay tribute should beware.
