AidHub is specifically designed to help every organisation better solve our global challenges
Humanity and our planet are threatened by mounting challenges as a result of climate change. While many global challenges such as poverty, hunger and environmental degradation have always existed, the climate crisis is rapidly escalating all global challenges exponentially beyond our current capabilities and capacities to address them.
Failing to find more effective and efficient approaches to these challenges will severely undermine our sustainability, and potentially our existence. The below videos are a collection of documentaries and short educational videos which serve to better inform everyone about the greatest challenges we face, and must act on now to avoid a potential, but scientifically well proven, catastrophe in our future.
This first category of brilliantly narrated documentaries or videos help us understand how Mother Earth is stretched beyond her ability to cope with over population, polution, environmental degragation, both on land and below our seas, and climate change which is drastically affecting every corner of the world.
An extract from Liberatum’s documentary. In this Climate Change topic, in which a range of cultural and environmental figures including Noam Chomsky, David Attenborough and Mark Ruffalo respond to the threat of climate change and to the deniers.
Home is a 2009 documentary by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The film is almost entirely composed of aerial shots of various places on Earth. It shows the diversity of life on Earth and how humanity is threatening the ecological balance of the planet.
If global temperatures rise three degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the results would be catastrophic. It’s an entirely plausible scenario, and this film shows you what it would look like.
We are fortunate that world leaders from 193 nations have united to positively transform our planet by committing to the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). And nearly every nonprofit organisation globally has also committed to achieving the 2030 UN SDG agenda, including an additional commitment to combat Climate Change through the Paris Climate Accord. These short videos explain each of the SDGs and why it is imperative that we succeed.

Jeffrey Sachs's new, free course on Coursera, The Age of Sustainable Development, gives students an understanding of the key challenges and pathways to sustainable development - that is, economic development that is also socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable.
Sustainable development is the most urgent challenge facing humanity. The fundamental question is how the world economy can continue to develop in a way that is socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable.
The video course below describes the complex interactions between the world economy and the Earth's physical environment. Ecological processes and constraints (climate, disease ecology, physical resources such as soils and energy sources, topography and transport conditions) significantly shape the patterns of economic development, demography, and wealth and poverty. At the same time, human activities (farming, land use, urbanization, demographic change, and energy use) change the physical environments, increasingly in dangerous ways.
The course offers a broad overview of the key challenges and potential solutions to achieve sustainable development in the 21st century.
