  • 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.

    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.

    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!

    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. 🙏

    Thank you so much for this documentary series. It’s been beautiful and truly inspiring to see all those people around the world really trying to make a change for the better, to try to pull the brakes on this frightening development in climate change and spread hope for a future worth being a part of. My daughters, aged 6 and 9, saw parts of the documentary and it was really wonderful to see how excited they both got by the idea of helping the planet with science, cooperation and hard work. I often feel guilty for being human, for being part of the problem, but the people interviewed in this series provided me with a different perspective of humanity as a whole. I don’t care if it’s naïve to be hopeful, because being naïve and doing something is a whole lot better than maintaining a defeatist attitude that it ultimately doesn’t matter what I do and thereby justify doing nothing. Because those people whose work we got to catch a glimpse of through this documentary actually do make a difference in their communities. Culture and arts help us acknowledge the struggles and the darkness, but also see the beauty and glimpses of light in this world. Hope is a very powerful thing that can unite people in ways that actually result in real change. That's what I'm taking with me from watching this; hope is important.

    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 :)

    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.

    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.
