Why
In 2017, the Cuban government approved the State Plan to Confront Climate Change, known as Tarea Vida (Life Task). As a small Caribbean island, Cuba is disproportionately affected by climate change through extreme weather events, heat waves, drought, torrential rain, hurricanes, and rising sea levels.
Up to 10% of Cuban territory could be submerged by the end of the century, wiping out coastal towns, polluting water supplies, destroying agricultural lands and forcing one million people to relocate.
While Cuba shares this harrowing climate scenario with most of the world's other island nations, Cuba’s response is both unique and little known. This documentary shows how Cuba is using environmental science, natural solutions and community participation in its 100-year plan for adaptation and mitigation.
