The Solar Nation of Tokelau

Three small Pacific islands establish the first solar nation in the world.

Tokelau, a remote group of atolls in the Pacific, have switched their power supply to 100% solar energy thus becoming the first nation in the world to be free of CO2 emissions and having the most sustainable power generation on earth.

The irony of their story is that they, who gave an example to the world in the reduction of greenhouse gases, are themselves suffering most from climate change.

The documentary shows how the islanders deal with their new energy source, how it has changed their lives and what other challenges apart from climate change, they are facing.
