Film Festival Premiere exploring Cuba’s unique approach to the
adaptation and mitigation of climate change.
In 2017, the Cuban government approved the State Plan to
confront climate change, known as ‘Tarea Vida’ (Life Task). As a
small Caribbean island, up to 10% of Cuban territory could be
submerged by the end of the century. This documentary shows
how Cuba is using environmental science, natural solutions and
community participation in its 100-year plan for adaptation and
mitigation. There are lessons here for the world.
The documentary will be introduced by Dr Helen Yaffe and
followed by a Q&A + panel discussion with guests including
Dr Emily Morris and Hugo Rivalta.
Living Between Hurricanes
A film about the elements – hurricanes and rain, the sea and the earth.
A film about Caibarién, a fishing port on the north coast of Cuba devastated by Hurricane Irma on 9th September 2017
About the effects of climate across the centuries on a Caribbean island sucked into global markets for its commodity crops – tobacco, coffee and sugar – and how sugar changed the landscape through deforestation and soil exhaustion
About the collapse of sugar and the encroachment of a new commodity market – tourism
About the growing threat from climate change and the move towards reforestation, ecotourism and sustainable farming
