Synopsis
Climate change is radically changing our planet. Temperatures are constantly breaking records, floods, hurricanes and other natural phenomena are becoming increasingly severe. The polar regions are melting, sea levels are constantly rising and the future points to a massive reduction in biodiversity, mass migrations, hunger and a scenario where we run the risk of self-extinction. How can we reverse this process of global warming? How can we decarbonize our activities or create technologies that reduce CO2 emissions?
Language and runtime
The film will be in Portuguese, with English subtitles, and has a runtime of 59 minutes.
