One Degree Matters follows social and business leaders as they travel to Greenland and experience for themselves the dramatic effects of the melting of the ice cap and come to understand the planetary effects of climate change and the impacts these will have on society and the economy. The film brings to the screen the latest science from the Arctic and shows why a further rise in global temperature of one degree matters for the future of humankind.

Why do we call this a “challenge video“?

One simple reason.  We know that some of you out there are – fair enough – cynics about climate change.  We know that others of you may believe that this is a problem but still are cynical about making the connection to Project Management.

So the video you are about to watch – or at least we hope you will watch – will challenge you to think in terms of opportunity.  Enjoy the photographic beauty of the video, the breadth of backgrounds of the business and social leaders who are interviewed, and in particular, focus in on the many, many times the word project is used in the dialogue.

We challenge you to watch this with an impartial eye – the eye of the facilitator that you need to use as a PM – and notice what the “green wave”  may have to offer you (individually), you (organizationally) and you (as a resident of Earth).  And – we challenge you to respond to this post with your views after you’ve taken the challenge.
