Climate Clips All around the world, signs of climate change are different. In the interactive website Climate Clips, you can travel the globe and listen to children from all corners of the earth talking about pollution and the consequences of climate change in their immediate surroundings. What role does nature play in their lives, where do they think things are going wrong, and what solutions do they see to save the world? In the Climate Clips Globe we meet Elena from Italy, Hortencia from Madagascar, Jaden from Switzerland, Ileni from Namibia, Julieta from Curacao, Kyara from Costa Rica, Luoxuan from China and many others and find out how waste, excessive traffic, pollution, drought and the plastic soup are part of their everyday lives. Thanks to their involved, honest tone, the observations and thoughts of these youngsters provide a remarkably clear, engaging and personal look at the state of our planet. This new generation is clearly ready to speak out for change – for example in these Climate Clips.

Are you worried about the climate, but afraid that your voice isn’t being heard? The studio of world-famous artistt Olafur Eliasson has a solution. Using the app Earth Speakr, you can film yourself as you give a message about your solution for a better climate. Your face then transforms into a digital character, which you can place in a surface in your immediate vicinity. For example, you could get a tomato with your voice to talk about the use of pesticides in agriculture, or have an old chestnut tree complain about deforestation of the Amazon, or let a pool of water have its say about the plastic soup in the oceans. Thanks to this smart application, it’s as if the earth itself is joining in the daily discussions. The app also allows you to hear other messages from children all over the world. So Earth Speakr becomes a loudspeaker for the future of the climate.
