Climate Solution?

Special mini-doc from inside the walls

of COP26, the UN Climate Change negotiations

Jesse follows two young nuclear energy advocates as they roam the conference floor. Princy, who works in communications for the South African Energy Ministry, and Shirly, a nuclear engineer from Peru. The two friends are in search of a meaningful plan to both reduce emissions and raise living standards in the Global South. They find Western delegations advocating for energy policies in the Global South, replacing stable power sources with intermittent ones, that they don’t accept for their own nations.
