Forecasts, anchored by children, will play in 80 countries with support from Oscar-winning Malaysian actor Michelle Yeoh, American actor Connie Britton and Danish actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
“Everything is crazy. Schools are closed because it’s too hot. Wildfires are burning whole towns. And floods are making everything wet and gross,” says one young presenter.
The segment warns viewers that rising temperatures will continue to bring more of the catastrophic climate change impacts we are currently experiencing to people and the global economy.
These include a projected impact on 94 per cent of the world’s children, threats to food security and a potential rise in taxpayers’ bills globally of trillions of US dollars.
The forecast ends with a powerful plea from the children: “It’s not just a weather report to us. It is our future.”
Viewers are encouraged to sign a pledge to act by making financial decisions that align with sustainability and educating themselves on climate solutions and global climate action.
