“Growth rooted in extracting from our planet – and our people – came at a cost,” says UNEP Goodwill Ambassador, Don Cheadle, as he narrates the history of how the climate crisis began and how everyone can look towards the future with hope.
This video is part of the TED Countdown initiative, which brings together a network of changemakers to turn ideas into climate action.
In partnership with The Solutions Project (TSP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is working to increase awareness and engagement in place- and neighbourhood-based environmental justice solutions in North America.
TSP is a non-profit organization that promotes climate justice through grant-making and amplifying the stories of frontline community leaders in the media. They seek to accelerate the transition to 100% clean energy and equitable access to healthy air, water, and soil by supporting climate justice organizations, especially those led by women of colour.
