DESCRIPTION

Climate change is a key challenge for our civilization. The progressive degradation of the environment is causing humanitarian crises, armed conflicts and migration waves. One of the solutions for this situation is the “Great Green Wall” – 8000 kilometers long belt of trees, planted on the outskirts of the Sahara across the entire African continent. The aim is to rebuild the natural environment, to stop climate change and to build a future for the local people. This huge project is followed by the Malian activist and musician Inna Modja.
