What does clean energy look like? - Climate Action Explained

Energy is indispensable to our lives. Currently, a lot of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels. To tackle the climate crisis, we must transition our entire energy system to renewable energy and increase energy efficiency.

In this episode of Climate Action Explained, come with us on a journey to Zimbabwe, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Uruguay to understand how the energy transition is happening around the world, helping increase access to healthcare, education and public transportation.

Alarming news about the impacts of climate change have become a daily reality. Many people now think it is too late to do anything about it. But change is still possible. We can still win this fight.

UNDP’s Climate Action Explained video series takes viewers on a journey around the world to see how people in 12 different countries are working for a safer, greener future for all. Masterfully introduced by UNDP Goodwill Ambassador, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, the four episodes explore how we can adapt to the impacts of climate change, restore the world’s beautiful forests, power communities with sustainable energy and enable young people to drive climate action around the world. Join us!
