To fight climate change, we need to slash greenhouse gas emissions. But we also have to find ways to adapt to the impacts already happening and to come.

In this episode of Climate Action Explained, travel with us to Tuvalu, Kenya and Egypt to discover how communities are implementing adaptation solutions to protect coastal zones and infrastructure, ensure food security and preserve nature for people and the planet.

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!
