2040 follows Gameau’s imagining of a future for his four-year old daughter Velvet, where climate change has been solved. Described as “an exercise in fact-based dreaming” the film is structured as a letter to his daughter whereby Gameau travels around the world investigating numerous solutions that can contribute towards climate mitigation and imagining what a future would be like where they have been implemented at scale. In choosing what to feature in the film, Gameau restricted it to solutions that are either already available or have a realistic potential to greatly contribute to reversing climate change by the year 2040. The film features interviews with numerous academics, ecological experts and entrepreneurs and covers five broad areas.
GreenUp Jamestown began in 2018 out of conversations at St. Luke’s with local community partners, as part of an attempt to celebrate Earth Day as a local grass-roots effort. Since then, GreenUp Jamestown has worked to organize a number of events encouraging local environmental awareness and action.
