How to successfully build a megaproject (and how not to)

Video Description

As climate change intensifies, we need bigger, bolder plans to reduce emissions and prepare for disaster. But in many countries, large-scale infrastructure projects are completed at a snail’s pace due to lengthy planning and permitting processes – many of which are designed specifically to protect the local environment. Have we lost sight of the big picture? What can we learn from successful projects, and how can we speed up vital initiatives without sacrificing quality, planning – and the environment? #planeta #greentechnology #megaprojects We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. We'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.
