as well as the industrial nations no longer need and lightest textile ways get stranded here. all about the final stuff in the global fashion industry, the fast fashion watch now on youtube. the . this is why city denny and why many like me love it. despite everything, it is still changing. hello and welcome. i'm saw that got the body and you all watching eco india. and i am show are much like my city. your city is changing as what some of these changes we might like, while the others not so much. some of these changes out of choice while the others

are forced by factors like climate change, which are making our cities increasing on or in the store to solar capacity is currently all of a 70000 megawatts. and why is this got to across different cities and villages across several states in the country? so far that has been no sitting in there that has been entirely sold out, but not anymore. a 3 megawatts lawns and in jazz historic city of sachi, in the centre, more stage of whatever this is changing this sante in multi position is 1st and foremost famous. but it's but this to pause, which make it a unit, schoolwork edited site. but now sachi has another claim to fame, isn't guess 1st solar city. it draws all its electricity from a 3 megawatt sort of blonde, which cost the central government, the equivalent of some $2000000.00. in addition, that down is equipped with solar powered charging spaces, water kiosks,

solar street, lights, i knew the 2 dozen rooftop solar systems. one of these is being installed on drop that on so that these, these are diode and welcome to the johns to save money. now what's that god that might have a story that it would produce, speak a lot of energy, does it have to be 15 units per day? and i only use it $5.00 to $10.00 units spoke to somebody and i thought i would give the rest to the sound. pretty good. so i'll recoup the costs and we, i mean, i don't really, i lot of the guy he gets to see 500 rupees. that's about 60 utilized a month. he's hauled his electricity bills. the soldiers that the project is based on a private public partnership model. and visitor do use c o 2 emissions by some 14000 tons for you. all the public buildings in sachi, which has a population of 8000 now have rooftop solar panels. other states are lagging behind

in comparison. a in a big state like with the dish, been stored who felt so the capacity of imprinted, rented to was only about 460 megawatts. oh, okay. is it down to do $4300.00 megawatts by brent doing? even though we do have subsidies and incentives available, say end of the national toyota program. but don, getting those and that i may not be investing in this thing, but can do whatever. and mr. evans and making them understand the benefits. so going for a particular solution is something that is p as a designated solar city. sachi is a showcase project and is a buying new engine new energy use. but the general public still has a lot to learn about solar technology, brought that on so that the has many questions about his new solar unit here to get up. this should at least tell us how to clean it in montana. and how often do any

we're supposed to clean it the board, but they didn't tell us how or when look, how much does the test stuck with on, you know, tied a 2 years ago, the government loans education program in conjunction with the solar city project. the public has thought about the importance of saving energy, the goal of the new, but energies and also about the economy benefits. and the idea is that all the individuals are to be made aware of how to minimize your consumption. and is there any be in which you can use it, give them, and you can design your houses, you can design your dilates in which you have a list of kinds of shut off energy to be, is the student and thought time store owner, the costumer to bought in the outreach program, but he's not convinced that an online training is the best way to get locals onboard with both of those high performers. easy, but it was an online process. so some people have difficulties,

even though most people are well versed with online processes these days. people in villages and rural areas, county, if it had taken place offline, more people could have and or i think southern parts. i've been teaching people about renewable energy, getting them to change their habits, and transforming down the size of thought. you clearly gone to happen over night. we had a lot of seen dr. a solar powered tv though. well, him switching to an eco made sense because it saves him money like math. if i turn the composite, there is a 50 percent benefit. the sooner than better, he's much more efficient. and then these that you got to be a cup of guy that was to solo baldwood, charging spaces was set up in sachi in july for the time being the charging infrastructure is only who the main street i'm

a few people still have made the switch to electric vehicles, but experts understand the challenges and keeping side of the bigger picture any transition course with north via video process. um, you know what country is huge as and as you said, the entire country is a word on listening to each stage defense like those bids sections of society. but it's on dition and defense. it says so why it was like, the dogs is showing that you that relatively more than bonds stages, the mobility and the industrial sustainability of the transition has been unfolding the inside. the moon is optimistic now that it has its solar. so at the status, it's looking to move away from fossil fuels across every sector of the economy and become a net 0 city. starting with the 5 mega bought solar blonde dots with many supply the agricultural sector. we are not investing on to only the present

consumption, but we are also looking at replacing the complete agricultural comes on channels because in the long run we are looking for a net to 0 city. so this is not the 1st that the one to be the artist or to the but we want to make it 1st, next butyllithium the as the countries both solar city sachi can lead the way for other places in india. and also point out the main difficulties of cause, john splitting the projects to a largest city wouldn't be a challenge. and it says 4 homes, beautiful gases, goggins, and water surrounding all of which city are you thinking of? well, if you look up the capital of denmark on the internet, these images will pop up. it looks beautiful or right. pretty perfect. why would anyone want to change any of this? well, he has why?

on the 2nd of july 2011. this is what copenhagen look like. dead jobs floated in the stormwater after the one so the powers in the are kind of brain a quarter of the sign, additional cost of sick in the aftermath. and one even died of a blood infection. but it didn't stop that in full out of the last 6 years. the city has seen i've known the cloud both, but it's conventional stormwater system con, do with new somewhere on the wall is full of similar stories and it's getting was copenhagen and leaving several cities around the world that i got a good redesign as climate change as making reading for less to deductible and more intense. sometimes a brave, like designing playgrounds to flood. i went deep into the heart of copenhagen to find out how exactly you flag proof of city of this scale. if i was, it was 5 years ago, this 3 who don't have been to, but instead that may have been an s u. v stuck and congested traffic. they squared

as long as we're on 300 spots and copenhagen chosen for me. cooper. it used to be a busy roundabout that has now become a wooded area in the middle of the city. it's one part of the plan to don copenhagen into a kind of john sponge for the next 100 years after the devastating 2011 fletch, it's, he has it. i met eon, joshua from the head of the cities cowed, both management plans. who do i mean that they wasn't able to wake up, call the position to decide to at that time that's read a need for getting a lot out of the city very fast. they ask all the time how to do it. ready in a table weight, it could be expand to sewage system, or could we do it in multiple way? maybe they had the rain bought at surface and at the same time make it to say that the with the waste for a more re and cd mall by diversity. and so get more meat and these are facing city . so young, steam worked at the sound about into water cause green component of the code. low spot has been planned, invisible side control in plain sight. that's a small pump. because the by more than an east of water continues to come. and the

cost is. ready road here in a lot of ponds for hers in the, in this connected to the see these little link phones are being built on across the city to hold excess water from land phone. but it's not just on some projects a smaller but still hold water like green roof less noticeable a wide spread climate. it's looked like ordinary drains, the bigger and in areas with the higher risk, all based on the map, young steam device of how the city is likely to flood in a code. both event, much of the 2000000000 euros given to the water department is going 20 meters underground into the backbone of the project. the tunnel. with this kind of dense of an area, you cannot solve the problem just the green solutions. this is jessica, thousands costs. we look for the city water department on a giant tunneling project. 500. you can do all sort of things on the surface and

all of this you can remove maybe 3050 millimeters of rain. but if you're getting 150 or 200 millimeters of writing, you need a big system. so really trans point water away. there's no way volts. it can get into the hopper without making a tunnel like this. the new tunnel network is 3. me doesn't die meter and runs for 18 to them. it goes across the city. but donald's would carry water from the bones and the roofs to us the harbor. but they still have another function for the rest of the year to watch what can be stored here instead of in the sewage system and slowly release them to the problem that keeps the water quality in check. and so people in copenhagen can swim in the harbor and the canal system through the and the tunnel step in again in a storm. if you have a heavy storm wave stop cutting, flooding industries, we just opened it up and the can, the transport all the water through the pumping station into the, into the hub. okay? so it was simply empty, the strange that will still be was the industry. so,

i mean, it's not completely dry, but we'll go from from half between half and one meters down to, to 10 centimeters. essentially this maximum. mm hm. and how much water can this whole system deal with? the, the, the amount of water that can be transported in the system is determined by the pump station you have at the end of the pumpkin, the live at 20 cubic meter per 2nd. 20000 meters per 2nd. however you will, expressive, and as soon as you have it, have a storm allowed and you stop getting warm. so in the streets it will stop and it will just keep m too many cities on the process of measuring that on sponging is not every city has as much free space. so as basically our cost some a much more dense, i'm still developing. so many are calculating how to climate proof themselves based on their own differing needs. beijing, for example, has a water shortage problem, and if designs relies on retaining what china is actually leading the world with

over 60, or if it's all the 600 cities planning a redesign, john joseph deallocated, the only 800000000 euros for the project over 5 years and then the dream roofs and rain gardens, but it's still struggling with flooding and 2021 because it's not easy. the indian city of of chan name on by and quit chia holding against the studying during the month. so i'm water shortages for the rest of the of the 2nd part is not a problem or i am copenhagen has is really high what the table of so that's what the, every way, that's why i'm on a bus that's about i'm on my way to an old block in the center of the city, calling calvin park, and that integrates both green and great infrastructure. this path works on 3 levels. the 1st is the rose garden under which water from the surrounding areas is stored. the stores can also function that as a risk water resource during the drive period for the cost to keep the cost of the product clean. if this store is saying is field,

we'll stop feeling this pulse brown. see over here, this at a lower level than everything else, so it can receive water easily and be filled up as soon as the water starts to overflow when it could look like this. and then there's the one when it is a mess of code, both a wall comes up here to close off this compounds. and this thing behind me was going into a giant based on that stalls. the a few of the projects have been financed by taxpayer money, but most of the funding is linked to consumption through a levy on the water bill of homes and companies. and if it costs explodes too much, then we decide, okay, we don't do it. but then there might be some more damage is locally. mm hm. and you informed the citizen that they have to protect their feelings. but even with this much investment adapt ition to changing reinforcement only go so far with this done is kind of be able to handle the worst case scenario. in terms of flooding and

stumble. you have to decide what kind, what size of storm, and that will always be a storm that is bigger. that's it. so is the probability and a so protection of climate change. so how often will this happen? but there's always will be a rain fall that could be even bigger so, so you'll never protect a 100 percent. but it gives us having protection from the front of a sudden probability and then you would lose so much. so your investment is compared to your risk of loss, and that's the size of investment we're making. that might sound like resign pragmatism, but copenhagen's been implementing it's cloud based management plan for more than 10 years. are those cities or know, does watching very closely waking up the cost of investing now to lower the loss and damages? climate changed slightly to bring around the world. cities and sec level as are made for each other new gadgets in the market every few weeks. and easy access to

all of them. sounds exciting, right? but was not as exciting is what we do with this e waste that is generated in the was the hard, largest generated or waste in know was in 2019. and even though a majority of this comes from the cities, only countries 3 percent of this erase is the cycling to some extent. and cities don't even have any plans or fixing this, but not anymore. electronic devices that have become obsolete address on to own a good things blonde and going but do in the state of them and not do he and his themes, they get off the appropriate recycling and disposal. many users simply throw their own devices or even batteries into the normal trash with dangerous consequences. saves press on the model of the company. a mass of people who just throw re useless battery using their job is just thinking that they are small inside of this. but if

100000 people did the same thing, they might, it would be 100000 veterans. if they reach the dump, they would pollute the ground. what ought it to be for dotted line and eventually infiltrate the for about the saw that are going to do it on the land, a and bucket, and it's be consuming. those products would be very harmful, not only for human beings, but also for any livestock, added marty. 2 of them, i wonder why the phone erased like what stored here is among the fastest growing the streams in india, according to the late as global easiest. one of the more than 53000000 tons of eaves were disposed off worldwide in 2019. india accounted for more than 3000000 tons. and the amount is set to increase because new products are coming to market all the time with shorter use it cycles active is complete. or what do i want to move you to the demand for electronic devices increases in years boss,

you could use an electronic product for at least 5 to 10 years, according to what nowadays that degrees to one. yet. that's the main reason for easiest little because we get out on a lot of time. 2 so what to do with the huge mountains of discarded appliances, oppressions, omen, i couldn't supplant the theme forest thoughts that erased by type separating household appliances from consumer electronics. another group takes care of all devises related to data processing the data, understand it is the data destruction processing stuff with electronics like desktops and laptop. there's going to be data data. so part of our job is to destroy that data. some products like that's gone and the laptop desktop leaf up to a toby spent focus, many of the company process $900.00 tons of east la, still pregnant or not and says, speeding cycling devices through retailers. and who would see those views is one

way to ensure more sustainability, but it's not just entire devices that can be done to the market, but also in the region, compliments on value. there's all materials, a goal. so some written levels like going through a lot of them and follow them, not in high demand, but they are difficult to mind. so to meet this need to renew up in mind, other than that is we extract those random matters from best products and get them back to the market. to get caught up in this process, we get some hazardous waste, like lead fluorescent lights and see if the like. and we have processes to separate and dispose of all of these types of to be able to separate overseas of india has now tightened up regulations for manufacturers. equipment now needs to have a longer shows life, but specialist companies like percent, all no questions are essential for reducing today's mountain soft electronic waves . the status of the merits was all about cooling down the planet. and it

has since the agreement, a lot has changed in cities across the was including side as it says. many cities have seen unprecedented high temperatures, even each week, including a city like fat as that has been encased in concrete. but our report i headed to the fence capital to find out about the efforts of cooling down, cutting down c o, 2 emissions and reducing equities. voluntary outlet is satisfied with this year's being harvest on the biggest rooftop farm and parents . the whole low defense, you know, move for you. the most people who come here is surprised. they say they don't feel like they're in the hall to empower, just remove all paris is undergoing a transformation. many are sick of the traffic jams and air pollution which

make the summers almost unbearable. the french capital is hoping to be climate neutral by 2050. so trees are being planted on public buildings and vertical force are cropping up. rooftops are turning into massive vegetable plantations not far from the eiffel tower, but on to olives. rooftop farm is the biggest of its kind in europe. 1.5 picked here for the equivalent of 2 soccer fields. 250 grams. make sure you put the lid on probably, and their fruits and vegetables are delivered to a supermarket. that's just 2 kilometers away. short distances mean lower c o 2 emissions. it's a win win situation for the environment,

but what about the quality of the products? and then bill ends because on the one hand, the goods here to record because everything is post by. but on the other hand it's a very polluted environmental review. would you be all i have to admit, i am not that interested in produce, has been cultivated in the city. i prefer fruit and vegetables produced in the countryside, but especially because paris is very polluted. the french institute for agricultural research is hoping to dispel some of the depths on this roof. there are boxes for fruit trees and a piece of fellow land to test what grows here naturally, christine old, we and the institute are looking for a way to promote urban agriculture. she thinks that they produce growing on parents . ruth is harmless. some german colleagues at the berlin university discovered about 10 years ago that as soon as you pass the 3rd floor,

you're no longer in the zone polluted by traffic. she says these roof farms also have an educational function. a c was for there at least 3 or 4 generations of urbanites who don't have any education or direct contact with rural agriculture. so most of our children, grandchildren don't know what cultivating the tomato or style it entails too much in center. so that's why i phone come to the rescue, the vegetable farm in the middle of a typical concrete desert in the paris suburbs. very good. how are you? the 3 of you go to work. i think they're a bit shy that's offered to me though. he is less worried about air pollution then the contaminated ground by heavy metals for instance. but he's found a way of getting around this

as the story was broken up, the lead was thinking slowly, especially if i don't use any plants i would retain it or do anything. if i don't use spanish labs led as carrots or beat root that drop the lead, it was thing down with the principal pieces of who he has planted edible flowers. instead, he says that tests have shown that they have no lead residues and chips loved them . so that won't open for us, take a tiny little grain, it tastes like leaks that level. it's pretty incredible and we'll see what i don't see. i said, as you know, many urban farmers are convinced that there are solutions to fight the problems that arise in an industrialized city. and the state is funding, visionary projects and farms all over france. there are already over $300.00 but you know, tony, in paris but in all of the big cities of france and ethan,

you're, there are more and more rooms being built of the many architect to already thinking about how to use rows so that you taishan and create green roads, bunch of posts, but for one day off that the digital visible alonzo ali and his colleagues are planning to double their rooftop space in paris. this is where they see the economic and environmental future. we've talked to our cities were developing and changing from the back to by tons out and got us into this little too hot, but new to mess. but also these are changing again and this time around these changes actually do seem for the better. only time would tell us what you are telling me are any, what changes happening in your city? i would love to know. you can email us or reach out to me directly on my social media. i will see you next week until then. take care. good bye and i was, gosh, the

gemini started and the stuff on the bad bulk in a d w into these are different critics and questions concerning the role of germany in the war in is ryan on guys out today, my guess is germany's foreign minister on the book and i'm going to ask a lot of fewer questions to get this kind of infected. unfortunately, the

whales under threat marine biologist, sabina, i rode the conducts research of the canyon framed protected area for whales. but more and more also, she discovers the syringe it why is this happening? why is the protection of whales not lacking a 90 minute d w. the really used to reverse teaching researches and scientists all over the world for you know, race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature,

the more likes watching it on youtube dw documentary, actually we don't have a choice. i think that we have little time list to save the planet. so we have to do what we can as fast as possible. we only have $110.00 ration left just 25 years to implement the greatest revolution since the doing of the industrial age to replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy around the world, without exception is a global energy to information really cost of the fluid as well. or is it for our 2 pod document trees, the renewables revenue jobs november 25th dw, the

this is the, the, the news coming to live from berlin. israel's government boats in favor of a hostage deal with some us. the deal includes afford a truce during which from us will release 50 women and children being held and the goal is to spread. it would be the 1st significant pause in more than 6 weeks, so far. also coming up in your career claims, it has put its 1st spice satellites into orbit se tv celebrates the launch and regional tensions sore with. so.
