This 'Game of Thrones' star is taking his search for climate solutions global
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau highlights Indigenous Achuar community efforts to resist deforestation and adopt renewable energy, showcasing local climate solutions in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
- On Oct. 23, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau traveled into the Ecuadorian Amazon to meet the Achuar Indigenous community for season two of An Optimist's Guide to the Planet on Bloomberg TV.
- The Achuar community is resisting a proposed road through their territory as a collective act of self-determination, preferring river connectivity, diesel-to-battery engine conversions, and solar energy to avoid deforestation and crime.
- Local waste innovations, including floral-waste recycling and `flether`, exemplify the season's 'no such thing as waste' theme, with an unnamed company collecting around 30 tons of discarded temple flowers daily.
- An Optimist's Guide to the Planet airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern on Bloomberg Originals and is available on Samsung TV+, Amazon Prime Video and LG channels.
- Coster-Waldau argued technology should serve people, saying `Technology is a tool that we can use; that we decide to use`, and criticized doomsday framing, warning `you can’t keep saying the wolf is coming every other day`, while Daphne Chouliaraki Milner said storytellers have a responsibility.
