Nuala comes from Pernambuco in Brazil. She is a former professional surfer who runs a non-profit organisation that aims to democratise the sport while strengthening children’s and women’s connection to the sea.
She talks about the need for us to adapt and listen to civil society in order to prevent climate change.
‘It is us in civil society who have to clean up the mess you leave behind,’ says Nuala in the film.
This report is part of the documentary ‘Voices of our Ocean’, which is being shown in connection with the UN’s ongoing climate summit in Brazil. In their own words and with selected images, they talk about their relationship with the sea, the urgent need to protect it and how climate change is affecting and transforming their lives. Hear each of them share their story.
