Ours is the first generation with the real possibility of eradicating hunger and poverty, but it’s also the one that could destroy our planet forever.

Duration: 2 hours

Is it too late to save our planet? Our future and that of coming generations is at stake as we face the greatest collective challenges of the 21st century.
