Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees. Get on Ecosia and be climate active every day: ecosia.org/ The world has a very small carbon budget left not to surpass a global 1.5°C temperature rise. For a 66% chance to curb climate warming, we need to completely decarbonize our economies in about a decade. The Green New Deal in the US and the European Green Deal lay out a plan for this. Both proposals are based on the principle of intersectionality. The climate crisis is a social crisis, which means that the factors that are destroying our planet are the same that are harming people. But whether our politicians seriously try to tackle the climate crisis depends on the next few months alone. 00:00 Intro 00:20 Preventing 1.5 degrees 01:46 What are the Green Deals? 02:53 US Green New Deal, explained 03:56 How to save the US Green New Deal 05:06 European Green Deal, explained 06:52 How to save the European Deal 07:52 Outro #GreenNewDeal #EuropeanGreenDeal #Carbonneutral Below are some of the resources that guided our research for this video.
