Standing up for nature: What can we do to fix our broken planet?

Surveys show that most of us are really worried about climate change and we want something to be done. But what?

This series, we've explored many ways in which nature is changing in response to human activity and the dangers posed to people and planet as a result. In this final episode, Tori and Khalil explore how people are taking action in the face of the planetary emergency. Along the way, you'll find out:

  • When has activism been effective?
  • How do scientists feel about climate change?
  • One thing everyone can do to start making a positive change
