Going Green - Net Zero: Paloma Costa Oliveira

 In conversation with climate activist Vedaant Thuse Bal, Costa Oliveira emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to climate action that includes partnerships with local communities and addresses social and economic issues. She highlights the crucial role of indigenous peoples in promoting sustainability, particularly in protecting the Amazon Rainforest. 

In addition to discussing Net Zero strategies, Costa Oliveira stresses the significance of education and individual actions in creating a more sustainable future. She encourages young people to become changemakers in their communities and to take the lead in the transition to a Net Zero world. 

The main takeaway from the Net Zero interview is that people are the changemakers in a constantly changing world structure. To move towards a better future, it is essential to learn from the past and build upon the foundations of yesterday. The powerful must fight for everyone's rights or risk creating an indifferent society that will not protect them when they become weak. 

The Net Zero video series aims to educate and inform the public about climate change and the transition to a Net Zero world. 
The series features interviews with climate experts, activists, policymakers, and business leaders, providing insights and perspectives on the challenges and opportunities in the Net Zero transition.
