Description
In previous episodes of Save the Children Documentary, we met young climate activists in Pakistan and Peru. Now we go to the Balkans, where young people are at the forefront in the fight for climate justice. 16-year-old Anja lives in the Albanian industrial city of Elbasan. The climate movement here is small but determined. In Europe, the Balkans are particularly vulnerable to climate change, and together with a group of friends, Anja is fighting for the country's politicians to take the climate crisis seriously. 15-year-old Olt lives in neighboring Kosovo. The air is bad and the country's large coal-fired power plants poison the environment. For a long time, Olt felt alone with his interest in the climate. Then he heard about the youth group Respect our rights where he is now a driving force. For Olt, all change starts with oneself - everyone can do something.
