The World Bank Group’s global campaign Film4Climate joined the documentary community at 2018 Cannes Film Festival (May 8 -18) to highlight the role that the creative industries can play to help encourage the necessary action needed from both governments and the general public to achieve a low-carbon resilient world. Working with the Marche du Film’s Doc Corner, Connect4Climate hosted a special presentation of Slater Jewell-Kemker's feature documentary Youth Unstoppable as well as a Climate Focus workshop. Connect4Climate was also a key partner for their annual Doc Day, which is the climax of the documentary program at Cannes. Recognizing the impact that the film industry, in particular, can have on younger generations and the power of emotional stories and images, Film4Climate’s intention is to help build a global network of knowledge partners within the film industry who are committed to climate action, environmental protection and social equity, and feel the medium can be used to great effect to influence behavior.

Humans have made a profound impact on the planet, so much so that we have now entered a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. Ivo Kennedy implores viewers to explore what role urban agriculture can play in society and in our every individual’s life. From large-scale hydroponic systems to grassroots community gardening, Ivo investigates the routes we can take that could reshape our legacy to be about a people that reinvented nature, reinvented agriculture, and learned to appreciate and nurture nature, even in cities. Amid a global environmental crisis, Ivo Kennedy reflects on his seemingly incompatible love for both the natural world and the vibrant character of city life. A graduate student studying public health, he considers how urban agriculture can turn gray skylines green and help us reach environmental sustainability in energy-demanding cityscapes.

The youth population was projected to increase by over 78 million from 2021 to 2030, with low-income countries contributing to nearly half of this growth. It is essential for education and training systems to adapt to this challenge. High-quality apprenticeships, carefully planned internships, and volunteering programs can serve as valuable entry points into the job market for first-time jobseekers and recent graduates. Jean Mary Tjiohimba, who is from the Khwe community of South Africa talks to us about the successes and struggles of the Youth in her community. With over 40 percent of the world's population under the age of 25, there are currently about 1.2 billion young people in the world. Youth are a global asset, and investing in youth and safeguarding their interests is critical for both social and economic stability. Jean Mary tells about about some of the challenges faced by the youth in her community.

Sharon L. Deem, DVM, PhD, Dipl ACZM is currently the Director of the Saint Louis Zoo Institute for Conservation Medicine (ICM), a role she has held since the ICM was founded in 2011. Sharon uses a One Health holistic approach for wildlife conservation, public health, and sustainable ecosystems to ensure healthy animals, healthy people, and a healthy planet. In the talk she will offer the opportunities this pandemic gives us and how a One Health approach will allow us to contend with the triple threats of emerging infectious diseases, climate change, and the loss of biodiversity (wildlife species and wildlands). Never has resilience on a global scale been more necessary for human survival—just what the doctor ordered.
