Reviews
"A very exciting series where the plot is well composed, while future climate issues are made clear to the reader. The books are easy to read in an accessible language with few short whole sentences on each page." – (Lektørudtalelse - Library Review)
Personal note from the author
In The Blue Planet six of the UN World Goals form part of the book. The six goals are:
- Goal 3: Good health and well-being
- Goal 5: Gender equality
- Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy
- Goal 13: Climate action
- Goal 14: Life below water
- Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals
The Blue Planet shows how life might turn out on the Kiribati Islands in the Pacific Ocea. The islands are close to sea level. The highest point is only 2 metres above sea level. If the planet becomes warmer, the sea will rise. The islands might get flooded in 50-100 years. There are 33 islands in total. 20 of them are inhabited.
From 2003 to 2016, Kiribati had a president, Anote Tong, who got a wild idea. He wanted to build domes underneath the water where people could live. This is where the idea for The Blue Planet came from.
