UN@80: 'Climate shelters' in scorching Madrid

As the United Nations celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2025, CGTN is collaborating with global content creators to launch the "One Home: Shared Future" visual storytelling campaign – encouraging young people worldwide to share their hopes for humanity's future.

In this episode, we explore how Madrid residents are creatively adapting to the climate crisis under the guidance of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. As extreme heatwaves sweep through the city, cultural venues are transformed into "climate shelters" and serve as lifesaving havens, providing free cooling spaces. These "urban oases" not only offer emergency solutions to extreme weather events but also create connections between the population and the city.
