communities. i have curriculums joining you from vegas nigeria. it's great to have you with us. here's what's coming up. what documents and i will be a gathering data on and pollution and how home care is all to is this promoting upside leave a detailed opportunities and all the return of a start to use to congo as fox and environmental revival. but 1st, we had to cut the law, which like so much of africa, is working to reduce unemployment and help protect the environment. and the country is making some real strides towards a green economy. new green tech jobs us browsing up their jobs that didn't even exist just a few years ago. let's take a look. the changes under when you click the font previously unexpected
2:32 am
opportunities in getting the job market. for example, linda never dreamt of working to fly farm. and now she's surprised how much she loves us for the fun decided 4 years ago, i guess, to traditional korea palm and created his own profession in urban agriculture and avery's learning to set a carbon project in the forest of the interior of the country. as part of a time nearing project, including what do these 3 young people have in common vill oh, working in the green economy as part of the country's ecological transition. when linda started at the fly farm her fence, these were difficult. she hated being around the markets and slice that upgrade for animals. i was so afraid i didn't want the slice to talk to me. i said i was going to wear long sleeves. but the hardest part for linda was dealing with some families prejudice about the unusual profession she had chosen to see. they said it
2:33 am
was bound to affect my health that my good service, the tea thing, that everything we do here is practically nothing for the best that since we use waste and all, but it was a beat with a dentist, they didn't really accept it. i said that's instead of staying at home and being a button. it's good for me to learn and discover something new. today, the young woman is proud to call her cellphone in tomorrow just. i'm his even convinced her mother to join the company. in another part of a vision, stefan is also do we need jump that didn't exist when he was a student. after completing his geographer studies, he wanted to be an urban farmer, but found new company to take him on all. so he set up his own business, offering training courses to individuals and schools. i can still finance that for me personally. it was a way of not depending on the traditional employment system in the form,
2:34 am
which is you live schools. as you look for a job in the public sector, once the extra value about that it was a way of showing that you can create your own job and be financially independent. it's on sale on the farm, on linda, on the green korea pos but they're still in the minority with many green job opportunities, green and clean. the foreign government is keen to entice small school leave us or there's a problem. this is about this and why, and i think he, me, the dream jobs are and what you might have called the sub jobs are opposite the some aspect that we don't manage to make clear to all those looking for walker and i so, so much so that when we direct them to what green jobs got on the problem in a few sort of because they think this time job to this was on the bus it, but this was on the, this in junk something in 2022. the ministry launched. it's integrated strategy for
2:35 am
the promotion of green jobs include the flaw and then attempts to promote the sick . this news has sprayed abroad with some young graduates like eva coming from europe to learn a new treat. the 26 year old is working as a comp on project manager, but she still likes the experience needed to carry out a forest inventory by herself. today, unexperienced agronomist to show you how to categorize trees to find out whether this forest could be successful. colbin project, i've never done this kind of thing, so it's all new to me for us to invent trees. i've never done this kind of study. so we need to work together. so i know all about the problem and the capital markets and what not to talk about the fields. so we really need to work hand in hand to achieve our goal after returning to be shown ever shows come on market knowledge with their colleagues. as everyone in the team is discovering the rules
2:36 am
of the call the markets at the same time, it's both a challenge and a real professional opportunity for all involved the dynamic grooves of africa. sustainability sector has quotes many by surprise. it has also prompted the international labor organization to publish the directory of green jobs, unprofessional success, cut that, okay. say, oh, the aim of these catalogs, somewhat vocational and technical training, struck chosing their mission to accompany quick the far east development, letting the ceiling duct off by me. and i called the flight of stairs, which today's taking the bottom of the core logic of transition. don't say so, it's to help them accomplish these and task. so we've got to look at these 1st a in, on the 2nd a study, we help companies but already established to become a green apple while since they haven't seen the fund to, he's raising awareness. i'm boosting skills and agreeing to colorado. what he's doing need to i'm moving a to columbus has from
2:37 am
a vision that he wants to reduce the green, steals gap between this can only capital and elsewhere. well, what i've done with the people living in the interior of the country don't have the same opportunities as people, univision, it. so for me, it's important to come and create a new echo system in my field that will enable them to have access to the type of employment that is beneficial to the environment. the black you decided on whether it's defined opening minds to new green korea pots aides that are sharing in the development of new sectors or linda and booking any surprising new direction . the green economy include you for giving young people the chance to work towards the protection. moving now to jeremy with changing conditions in food and farming are also on the agenda for most of the wells with this key to
2:38 am
food security. well, due to global conflicts and extreme with the parts of the wells are facing the re shortage, so could be more for z and to these boxes, you also supply either climate change of our reset facility. yeah, munich. cut this delicate little tongue help fight food shortages. the weights in this climate chamber is still an e 7 centimeters high. but in just 10 weeks time, the special variety will be ready for harvesting up to 6 times a year. and gets into the store in the end for the new to it's growing. well, it's already flowered, as you can see here, the guns including the fuel masters to the green bio mass time the what's left behind is a grain in the years the couldn't. i'm the see and we can provide long periods of daylight to boost road is missing kind. we don't have to set the special times or it's cooler or warmer buddha is spent as always to them
2:39 am
of ends and then they couldn't find, but we can cultivate the plant at a steady temperature. i'd say 23 degrees and they live lasting 1820 or even 22 hours. and of course, that allows for a harvest with a high yielding to inside the team from the chair of digital agriculture at the technical university of munich, which is also funding the project control and test various key factors such as light, temperature, nutrient supply. and most importantly, what they mainly use of was a nutrient mix job. so the worst that can be recycled, as well as a layer of horses that doesn't evaporate. this means that was that consumption is up to 95 percent lower than in agriculture. in recent years also has proved to be the most unpredictable factor in agricultural production.
2:40 am
in germany, we production remains relatively steady. but around the world, it's in decline. droughts and floods are taking a severe it's whole growing weight, and those could be viable not only and regions affected by dr. so flooding, but also in germany to reduce the negative impacts of agricultural production on the environment. and it's up to the full time, it has many advantage as a water requirement is extremely low and we have no negative impact on the environment on bio diversity, that's alonzo. so we don't need crop protection. we can control nutrients in a very targeted way. one 3rd, we do have a high energy input, as well as the technical setup, which has a c o 2 footprint as highs as things stand. it will be rush to present this to the world is a solution is on the it's a building block. this is one element in the food production process, support up to one. there's a ready interest from countries like single pole,
2:41 am
egypt and the united arab emirates, for reasons ranging from lack of space to water shortages, which garden and tools is a promising option. it's surprising ideas like these by helping us find promising new solutions, and these preparations can come from us to take one museum that opens not too long ago, here in the idea which is using works of authors to show some beautiful ways that trash can be turned into treasure, it is a soul to increase onto another thing that makes this museum special. you thought it doesn't just put on on the goals to look at the phones and all these museum wants to make kids to experience. let us take it out in the sweep. doing good. a welcome to nigeria as west museum,
2:42 am
it showcases walks of thought mit entirely out of discarded materials, such as used plastic cortez and low medium guns. by the ask in question, what that we do with the waste that we did a rate instead of 3 and it's a we had nobody to give you the honest side because it's like like a stupid question. what's his wisdom meant to be used for you? not to be thrown away, but i just couldn't, you know, give up on that idea. and i was trying to look for what else we could do with it. but done, southwest nigeria, the museum a trucks, a lot of visitors who support its mission initiative will help club diseases. isaac, i sees that i need less, and then we'll create a sustainable environment, a green that environment. um, any place where we can all enjoy our lives and printer. the initiatives includes teaching young people how to up skin wisdom to functional,
2:43 am
do rebel on the phone to build products, found your market on the will carry. he's a strong believer in creating value to recycling an upside clean waste. every single waste that i'm able to save is like how many rescue mission for every waste i'm able to save from ending up on the landfill from ending up in the ocean. that's my motivation. that's what keeps me going. so if i'm able to save 10 grams of plastic, go to to d like, let's do more tomorrow. our next we pulled fix us to a music audio visual us festival in hungary, but he's committed to sustainability that we made a woman who tons, 6 the west into us. and that is more than environmental friendly. it is also just beautiful. every year, it's an intricate part of hungry, so sore festival, a rich kaleidoscope of colors, meat out of the length of fat brakes arranged in large scale patterns. and what's
2:44 am
more, there, all sorts from used to materials, mostly discarded clothes. the majestic installations were conjured up by mt, which has from the city of page in the southern part of the country. in 1997, she turned her love of spinning, nodding and weaving into a business concept. and 2 years later, she started recruiting stuff for a company, re text you many of her employees or people with physical or mental disabilities for them. it's a welcome opportunity to join the workforce in that text to go. i know we're kind of doing it was a pool that i rework materials and used them to make carpets and other lights. and i'll just point plus better. that's important because we'd otherwise be drowning and trash would more than you could say. we have recycling the fabrics associate to europeans, throw away 11 kilos of close per head every year with just one percent being
2:45 am
recycled these days. the majority of people's clothes are not made of cotton and other natural materials as a this illusion, this hazardous waste, which of these most clothing items are made of synthetic material, is the name check not take that can still in the fabrics process the by reject steel r. donations from local residents, plus in a 2nd hand store in the area, tens over items i can so interested parties can place orders for the new items via an online shop. they often come with the information on the proportion of used fabrics and the amount of manual labor involved. every year ray tech steel process is several 1000 kilos of used fabrics. materials that would typically end up in a landfill are given a new lease on life year. sustainability and social justice.
2:46 am
a marriage made in heaven is a good way to spark awareness on change as we just saw. but so is information in there will be, can activist on exports of gathering college and foster dot to with air pollution, paul, ordinary citizens, to become change makers. let us take a look. this is the device that could help transform every day life in a row, be a small since i'm measuring air pollution in the city center, mainly to blame for the quality of the pixel to the cycles and diesel call it meaning funds known as my taxes for the kids up and planning advocates, humphrey, or html, as close, they will be home. you walk right, joins project between the city, government and the un exploding ways to make tenants. guppy told rena he's particularly concerned about them, attaches shopped him to copy those streets. uh they are coming from different

2:48 am
african cities in africa in general, does not have data on the air quality levels. and because of that we have increasing terrible air pollution levels, right? so it's important for us to begin collecting this data to be able to compare it and see whether there's any health impacts. what sensors are expensive? there is a problem that alicia, a lot of those engineering team is working hard to solve, recorded these low cost, see a quality monita. and the reason being is that it's relatively cheap. but cynthia, 2 different grade one test we cost, you know, dental tens of thousands of yesterday the kids through components of 3 d printed on the team. she has the blueprints for the modified design freely on line. citizens have just any way in the world can legally replicate the device
2:49 am
without charge. bringing the costs down to under $300.00 euros. for emotionally available referring read models can cost nearly $100.00 times as much of the team frequently head out to inspect and inventing that senses. they've installed in different parts of the robi and moines. mostly to do it allows are requesting the devices with the same people like give you malware. the shopkeeper has us the money general, the restaurant above these premises to host a sense of humor. oh yes. what's the time i get our stuff to go? i just just paid is that a fulfillment every now and then you must go to hospital before it took up? no able to present to the doctor today. i thought it too so that i have to be able
2:50 am
to prove all i have. what so many dogs to the come to oppose the most felicia and the smoke, but uh, no action has to be taken. so you healthy. uh maybe you have something to prove to them. a sense of like these can a give a clip, pick general air quality and specific locations. but what would help to talk look the pollution in the city, the united nations, electric mobility program, advocates for a shift to electric vehicles. alex co not saves. transitioning away from conventional combustion engines needs to be incentivized economically and the targeting to will transport is a good place to start. as 20 years ago, developments new motorcycles in kenya. now we have about 2000000 motorcycles to in the 50300000 motorcycle edit every year. and if you would like to fight them,
2:51 am
this has a definite and significant impact on greenhouse gas emission reductions. progress is being met. can you know both on electric motorcycle, toxic fleet, and the government has on bushes targets within 5 years? 100000. the motor bikes are set to roll onto kenya streets. so more and more people will be able to hold on to clean up some supports, like i've been planning on the book, it's humphrey or html and who knows this much needed air pollution sensors might be redundant. so knowledge really is pub and no just the scientific knowledge on hub dot to culture knowledge is site to to that's through sandra and i mix reports. we head to a village in democratic republic of congo. not long ago. a very important caught throughout the fact was finally brought home and that's helped spot to move back to reclaim the real stolen culture. restore its depleted environments.
