"All around the world, people, in their local communities, are tackling some of the biggest global challenges… the climate, the environment, and how to sustain economies and livelihoods. The actions these communities are taking, the solutions they are finding, can inspire a way forward for all of us. Sustainable Futures – Communities in Action is a positive and powerful new film that brings you to several communities, each a story of local action and local solutions, each a story of people, working together, in unity for a common cause."
