A TED Talk, featuring climate advocate Kimiko Hirata, who shares the story after the Fukushima disaster shut down Japan’s nuclear reactors, the coal industry rushed in to fill the energy gap.

She tells how a small, scrappy civil society movement took on a fossil-fuel-dependent economy and got people to say “yes” to a renewable future. Watch now.
