The Solar Nation of Tokelau

43m 37s

The film tells the story of three small remote Pacific atolls that overcame their dependence on diesel generators and became the first 100% solar-powered nation in the world, proving that it’s possible to reduce the fossil fuel use to a minimum. Ironically, this exemplary nation is critically affected by the emissions of the rest of the world: Tokelau belongs to the atolls whose existence is threatened by sea level rise.
