To many, children happily splashing about in the water is very normal. In Tasiilaq, a town located in southeastern Greenland, people used to rely on dog sledding for transport. Now, because of global warming and melting ice, riverbeds have become a fun playground for children. This has got us thinking: will Greenland become an ideal place to live in one day?
The final product in the Melting Greenland project, the much-anticipated Melting Greenland documentary is set to make its global debut at the World Biodiversity Summit 2022 taking place on 21 September during UNGA 77 (the 77th session of the UN General Assembly) and Climate Week NYC.
A team consisting of Vision Project, United Daily News and O’right, Melting Greenland set off on a 23-day mission across Greenland for an up-close insight into melting glaciers and local lifestyle. Their journey will be made into a documentary to raise awareness on climate change and urge people to take action.
