Transform: Changing How We Live Before It’s Too Late | An Optimist’s Guide to the Planet

While humanity has the capacity to remedy the damage done to the planet and find its way forward, it must also look beyond the climate crisis to transform both the future and how our civilization will face it. In this episode of An Optimist's Guide to the Planet, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau visits Germany where a port is working on the ultimate sustainable solution, and travels to Kenya and Greenland to learn how art, community and living in harmony with nature can help humans stay on the path.

Thank you again so much for visiting us here in Hamburg last year! It was a real pleasure - not only for our colleague Christoph Cosler, who spoke with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and the film crew about the transformation of a former coal-fired power station to a site for green hydrogen!

[@wendychavis7882]

It's easy to become paralized with despair with such big issues in the world. Thank you for seeking these beautiful examples of people offering solutions.

[@gwbaker]

An absolutely gorgeous series. The message is simple: we are all in this together and together we can make tomorrow better than today. Thank you Nikolaj and everyone connected to this creation. 🙏

[@cristinataliani5619]

I think that humanity must consume less energy and material and protect much more of the biosphere!!!

[@ErneuerbareEnergienHamburg]

Was great to have a part in it. Looks like Nicolaj enjoyed the harbor cruise with our managing director Jan Rispens. Thanks for your visit in Hamburg, hopefully you got some inspiration!

Really beautifully done video - so much hope produced with so nice facts. Back in 1972, the Club of Rome emphasized how important it is to rely solely on technological progress. The speed with which the German economy has learned Exxon-speak is spectacular. 18:04 *40% percent from renewables"* LOL In 2023, the share of renewable energies in *primary energy consumption* in Germany was *19.6 percent* 40% OF ELECTRICITY DEMAND would have been correct. Exxon-speak :)

All the mining, building/construction, transportation and doing it around the world means "new green energy" will consume a lot of energy and land.

[@jessicajaerosenbaum115]

only if politicains are involved

[@chinookvalley]

We started looking at where we are, back in the 70's. Reaganomics ended the Green Movement economically and threatened those who took part in Green Energy. Think of where we would be today if our government had had the foresight to save the planet while it was still logically simple. We've left a mess for our children to clean up. To continue to deny that there is a problem, is the problem. Earth was beautiful, could it possibly still be salvageable? We'll see.

Thank you for this interesting video. I have one little correction to suggest. In the steel plant, at 12:02, "Per year, you can imagine, one terawatt of electricity is used for this plant." I guess he meant one terawatt-hour, which is energy, rather than one terawatt, which is power, and would be thousands of times more power than any steel plant would consume.

a more honest title would have been “To Make Ourselves Feel Better Before The S... Hits The Fan”. Nothing wrong with that, btw.

[@user-yv4gg7jb2f]

Whatever at the end i prefer computer/robots most of the times and if the climate crisis would be that serious we wouldnt continue extending our international trade volumes. The renewables will manage our electricity supply.

Wait til the climate is too unstable to support industrial agriculture, transport and distribution of grains at scale. Don’t breed more breeders to suffer and die in the horrible future .
