A docu-promo video highlighting Seychelles' NDC (Nationally Determined Contribution) to mitigating climate change, presented at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) held in Glasgow in 2021.

The NDC is a document countries use to communicate their contribution towards achieving the global temperature goal and the global goal for adaptation. The Seychelles submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) in 2015, which was revised in early 2021.

It was an honor to have a video I made represented the Nation of Seychelles and be shown to 38,457 delegates who attended COP26.
