The Living Climate Change video challenge from IDEO appealed for videographers to create an original video that envisions how climate change will impact our lives over the next 20 to 30 years. IDEO have framed this competition as a way of moving the dialogue about climate change toward inspiring, human-centered scenarios that create new possibilities and solutions.
The winner of the 18 and over category explored what local food economies would look like in 20 years.
Here is the 18 and under winner. Submitted by 12 year old Alec, this video is a compilation of ideas from 17 young people, on how to reduce carbon emissions. It’s adorable and quite powerful.
More details of the competition and honourable mentions can be found on the Living Climate Change site.
