How do we fight climate change? At what cost? And are politicians ready to do what it takes? These are some of the questions Phie Ambo’s film 70/30 asks, as it documents the making of Denmark’s first Climate Act, that has an ambitious and legally binding agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70 percent by 2030. 70/30 thus provides a unique glimpse into the political decision-making that usually take place behind closed doors.
The film follows the Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities, Dan Jørgensen, and a group of young climate activists who desperately try to get their message across to the politicians. Their message is clear: if we want actual change, we need to start working together and take responsibility.
