Green Peace ‘Victoria’ Rationale

On 28 November COP17, The United Nations Climate Change Conference, was held in Durban, South Africa. The aim was for countries to reach consensus and draft up policies that would guide and encourage governments to amplify their efforts against climate change. As the summit went along, Durban was overrun with delegates, key stakeholders and prominent politicians, such as the President of South Africa. This created a lot of buzz. However, we found that the public remained skeptical about the impact that climate change can have. So to shed a bit of light we created a radio mini-series that depicts a future where countries go to war over a resource we all take for granted. This made a case as to why events such as these are vital and why we should all be concerned about the environment. The series flighted on a Durban station in support of the conference.
