synopsis

In the war to save our planet's future, the battleground is China: a country fighting a frightening number of environmental battles. Its up against toxic rivers, polluted air, extreme weather events, melting glaciers, encroaching deserts and a massive, growing, population. Yet all across China, cutting-edge technologies are fighting back against the forces of environmental doom. Turbines to harvest electricity from the wind, algae to turn black coal green, and grape vines hold back the desert. Its a mind-blowing, game-changing drive to push back the frontiers of energy science and green living. We meet the environmental pioneers who are stepping up with new innovations, reaching across borders, and breaking through boundaries. They might just be deciding the fate of humanity. This is the story of a green China rising.
