In the race to combat global climate change, MTV and Element have launched five inspiring short films making The Element Climate Change Series.

MTV and Element scoured the globe from Rio to Tehran to find five young people who are reacting in very different ways " through their own design brilliance, entrepreneurial nous and web suaveness " to the challenges of global warming.

Produced with the support of Internews, this series will showcase the global concerns of climate change to over half a billion people.
