This is our planet, Earth, where we live.

000200:00:07:0300:00:12:04

The world population is growing fast

and has already reached 7 billion.

000300:00:12:0700:00:15:22

By 2050,

this number will have risen to 9 billion.

000400:00:16:0000:00:19:21

More and more people

will inhabit our planet.

000500:00:21:0500:00:25:22

The beauty of it is that our planet

can handle this growth.

000600:00:26:0000:00:32:07

However, we cannot take that for granted,

as the planet is out of balance.

000700:00:32:1000:00:36:22

Not everyone has access to food

or clean drinking water...

000800:00:37:0000:00:40:22

and some people do not have access

to clean and affordable energy.

000900:00:41:0000:00:45:07

Seven billion people, including brilliant

and gifted people, creative people...

001000:00:45:1000:00:48:12

perseverant people

and self-willed know-it-alls...

001100:00:48:1500:00:53:11

should be able to tackle these problems.

People with plans and bright ideas.

001200:00:53:1400:00:59:02

to solve one of the three global issues

concerning water, energy and food.

and inspiring illustrations.

002500:01:56:0000:01:58:20

the recognition they deserve.

The best bright ideas will be brought to life

in Virtual Reality with the help of an expert.

002700:02:05:0200:02:08:07

Finally, the winning ideas

will be exhibited...

002800:02:08:1000:02:11:17
