Over the past 30 years, CO2 emissions have increased by 60% worldwide. The report follows activists who are looking for solutions to counteract the most pressing problem of our civilization: climate change. Experts warn that global temperatures must not rise by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2100 compared to 1850. Otherwise, the consequences for humans and the environment could be devastating. But will we succeed in achieving this ambitious goal? Politicians, companies, laboratories and universities around the world are striving to find solutions. A film crew visits climate innovators in Sudan, Indonesia and Europe. Their innovative spirit makes wind kites fly, cools buildings, connects countries with green power lines or absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Their work helps determine the living conditions of future generations. Every time the women of Shagra plant an acacia cutting in the sand of Darfur, it is a cause of great joy in the Sudanese village. The tree will sink its roots to a depth of 100 metres and will be better able to withstand the droughts of the Sahel than most other plants. After a few years, when the women scratch the bark, it will secrete gum sap. The sale of gum arabic will alleviate the poverty of the village. 65,000 acacia trees are already growing in Darfur - a blessing for the impoverished region and at the same time a carbon dioxide reservoir that can help limit global warming. #dwdocumentary #documentary #climatecrisis ـــــ DW Documentary brings you information beyond the headlines.
