Paris Climate Agreement Explainer with Nzambi Matee

1. A planet powered by green energy | Paris Climate Agreement

We need energy every day of our lives, but our planet is becoming hotter because most of our electricity still comes from fossil fuels. But we don’t have to choose between using energy and protecting the planet. UN Environment Programme Young Champion of the Earth Nzambi Matee shows how we can build a world where every job is based on clean and renewable energy. Our roadmap to this future is the Paris Climate Agreement.

 

2. Green Cities | Paris Climate Agreement

We have the power and know-how to transform our cities into green spaces, with clean transport and energy efficient buildings. UN Environment Programme Young Champion of the Earth Nzambi Matee explains how this can be done, guided by the Paris Climate Agreement. Nzambi is an engineer who has created her own company in Nairobi, Kenya, converting waste into plastic bricks. The future for our cities can be both bright and green. This is the second in the video explainer series Within Our Grasp.
