Bhutan at the frontier of the climate crisis | 101 East Documentary

The small Himalayan nation of Bhutan was the world’s first carbon-negative country.
With 70 % of its land covered by forests, it absorbs three times more carbon dioxide than it emits.
The environment is protected by the country’s constitution, and it is illegal to cut down trees without a permit.
Bhutan’s fast-flowing rivers provide the country with clean energy, making it almost entirely powered by hydroelectricity.
However, climate change and global warming are drying up rivers and threatening the country’s power supply.
In the high mountains, rising temperatures are causing glacial lakes to melt, increasing the risk of floods and other natural disasters.
101 visits Bhutan, a country at the frontier of climate change.

I am from Bhutan 🇧🇹, yes we are strictly trying our best to combat climate change whilst most leaders of the world consider climate change is a joke

The world wont find this quality level of documentary in North American media, we’re too busy consuming and causing the problems that plague nations such as Bhutan. We are all connected but don't realize it.

☪ Narrated Abu Dharr: I was sitting behind the Messenger of Allah who was riding a donkey while the sun 🌞 was setting. He asked: Do you know where this sets ? I replied: Allah and his Apostle know best. He said: It sets in a spring of warm water. > 🌙
