4:02 am
is offline, it is changing. that's for the what? rising global temperatures and more, more extreme weather events are making frequent headlines. hello and welcome. i'm sorry, we've got the body and you're watching as the ecosystem scenes. we not only need to amplify out efforts to save them, but we also need to adapt our lives and our livelihoods to ensure that we can keep up with the change and size. let's start with the core dwight desk of the agriculture. yeah. must already be hard, one can assume, but adding to the difficulties of these pharmacy is an emerging what the crisis. 90 percent of education in this a modeling region relies on glacial waters. but the melting of ice losses resulting in what those cassidy is also to being funded by the local initiative is combining an edge or traditional method with a deal with acknowledging to come back to this problem. finally,
4:03 am
it's that tone made and his wife now have about an hour to divert the suing water onto the field. the growing bees. cool. clean something out of the soil. yeah. is becoming harder with each boston. yeah, yeah. we've been farming for the past 70 years. but now it's becoming very difficult for me is i've got and used to be very good. the water was good. there was snow and the weather was good trailer, but we had to timely how the, how about how much is the bottle built? they're missing back to a sub for them. good. but if i thought of that now is unlimited water available has to be shared equally with the other residents of thought hit. the village is located in the dock region in india, fall north on the cool desert area colors more than 9000000 heck does its full 1000 meters above sea level and home to the more than 200000 people. most
4:04 am
of them live from funding for thousands of you is d. c. a water was used to irrigate the fields, but the temperature was rising due to human induced climate change. the glitzy is shrinking. life for the foremost is stuff. i do agree, i agree with you about the visual becomes very difficult to find here in the next 2 years because of what escaped spanish from was a guy this year. the weather is bad and the water never comes on the time either to give them a bundle here. yeah. studio group of engineers has come to check things out from a local n g o close 2nd warning that aims to help people in the dock been the sustainable future to ensure the small mountain stream from the village has enough water. and some of the engineers have created an ice mon ship, like a stoopa, a traditional destroying a small artificial dcea. it stores the water, the flows down from the mountains during winter for use in the summer months.
4:05 am
because the purpose is new, the through both finding of done only in some of the city steps under water is needed to during the winter water is waste and risk with the it flows into the end of the river and then into boxed on into the ocean. and other, in order to save that water, we made an artificial lazy. i can be said that it had been out there. this do puzzle based on a wooden frame in winter, underground pipes feed the limited water from the mountain to the right place. due to the difference and pressure underwater shoots upwards. the window is minus 20 degrees celsius. so the water freezes as it falls, forming a cooling a few 100 kilometers for the on is the village of licksey. he ought to be bloss struggling. the area gets just 50 millimeters of rain in summer, but some things have changed to date. gloves on young june is making soup with dried spinach leads. she and
4:06 am
a has been viewed just finished themselves. in the past, they only had potatoes a little bit. mcgraw brings you all to lee spinach and pep was and dry them for the winter. so just hold on like in the boston now march, that feels by leaving plant waste on the beds. the soil can then bid to absolve what leaves rainwater there is and it no longer evaporates immediately. they loans these from dignity. ok. she's a scientist in agriculture was research institute based on the city of li. she's helping people here adapt to the changing climate. isn't use and use it for she surely take a minute. we're trying to introduce the find the new technology and some new technology. simple who go to save me lot. and when you meet the farmers face to face, you can see that they've started changing how they do things, are in the nearby village of key sites. she's trying to help local women create
4:07 am
a sustainable livelihood for themselves while also adapting to the changing conditions. so she arranged for green houses to be built. one is now used by up to 16 families solar panels provide the necessary power. it's all financed by a state subsidy program. we bought this, we go vegetables here collectively. so all the vegetables needs are as an invalid and it'll come up. that means we don't need to buy parties from the market, but just very far away from the birthday. the women alone, the agricultural know how in workshops, treatments, young jin initially use public funds to finance the seeds for new crops. jumped on it. ok. you do everything rose you. so how does i don't know how to do it? of 5000 meters. let's regroup my friends, swab the strawberries, watermelon,
4:08 am
and tomato the. we were able to grow mushrooms when it was minus 17 degrees celsius outside mushroom. and no one can say today that nothing grows you up going able to jump on me, which and it's been made possible by the introduction of technology of the changing climate was a huge audience. would the people of le dock they would only be able to stay here if they can grow enough food to live in that whole month. high up in the cold mountains of the himalayas. the not just the form of foreigners are crucial for our equal system as well. and yet india has lost over 2300000 hectares of 3 cover since 2000. but it isn't just in deal. we take a look at the woods of germany, which are also is rapidly declining. but this isn't necessarily need that use big parts of germany as far as this used to look like this. but now they look like this
4:09 am
in just a couple of years. this decades old forest has become unrecognizable. the same thing is happening in many parts of germany, europe and north america. but this isn't your typical the planet is dying story. this could actually be good news, but to understand why, let's back track a little bit. well, maybe more than a little bit to the end of world war 2. a lot of the world is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. the allied forces, understandably, you want reparations from germany, but it's broke. so they agree that the country will pay partly and materials, for example, timber, lots of timber, according to some estimates equivalent to 10 percent of the countries for us. so now for us does need to replant big areas asap to rebuild germany itself. and which tree did they choose? mostly the spruce,
4:10 am
which looking back was maybe not the best decision. but at that time, it seems like a good idea to find out why we're driving to serena in the center of germany to meet funding for us though to is this navy serious decisions and as fast growing? got it regularly, deliberate, straight, high quality, one that can easily be processed at sawmills into furniture flooring. it's used quite widely. as it is english, they have items and spa. that's why it's also a very lucrative treat german forest as planted vast areas with them in straight rows that make it easier to get in. and harvest spruce is of the most common tree in germany and make up over a quarter of all forests. but that is changing rapidly because of what made this one a culture so profitable is also what made it so vulnerable. forest around the world, the suffering from more intense and frequent droughts, wild fires, and storms,
4:11 am
weakening, entire ecosystems, and germany is no exception. the longest, some is due to climate change mean the forests are too dry, and the trees 1st, especially spruce street, they comparatively need a lot of water, but the root system is quite shallow. so they comp access reservoir, people down while that's not the best news for the trees all for humans. and there is one little creature that loves what's happening right now. into the box. this tiny little insect has been monitoring its way through many of germany's in europe as far as the box. people of course, loves the box. it boils holes into the tree and then releases pheromones to draw a made inside there they reproduce. emily eggs, a healthy tree usually produces resident to seal up the holes and to protect itself from the beatles. but stuff, the weak trees cannot. that's why the bulk beetle is having
4:12 am
a fused. i don't think john bodies vision like 4 years ago this area was holy forest. and dyslexia, if we're standing here now, wednesday last part of this area was infested in doors this year. that area could also be, instead of in a matter of funded by the beatles each a way is that transport nutrients and water disperses and die of thirst and mel nutrition. the beetle is steadily spreading across europe and the halter it gets, the more beetles will breed. what a full scale infestation looks like can be seen in bach beetle central, which is the hobbs national park in the middle of germany, where we're headed here about 90 percent of all spruce is opted. the box depot has come and gone, leaving behind the region. that is quite frankly shocking to look at. we're meeting the whole on peach, the head of the hots national park. the hots region is it so hard because it had
4:13 am
a very big concentration of spaces. but for peach and many others, this post apocalyptic looking scenario isn't a disaster. quite the opposite. for him, the bulk beetle isn't the villain. it's actually a blessing in disguise. the 5 years we have a question is what's happening later. but what's happening is that the old spruce trees are gone and the forest that belongs here is coming. when you see what kind of frank and how much life areas and it's beautiful, it's great and truly exciting. you push button. the pol, cut down a section of the forest as a safety barrier so that the beetle will have a hot a time spreading into neighboring forest. most of you. but apart from that, the national park decided to let nature be nature and did not fight the bulk people . and nature is indeed doing its thing. different areas of the national park are treated differently. some pod square trees are springing up on their own left of their own devices like this area that died off about 6 years ago. some parts need
4:14 am
a little bit of help, meaning formerly native species that were displaced by this person on a cultures a being planted. but that's just one part of the story. the national park is a protected area that cannot be used to produce tinder anymore, but only around 3 percent of all forest and germany is protected. the rest is governed by public or private forest, as, for example, to produce timber. and we'll probably be using more of it since would can be a very sustainable and renewable building. material managed and grown by forest as like back. and so when you, they need to take a different approach to the bulk b to the trees are checked for interest ation regularly. once and interest stations found latrice, i'm ok then that are top down and removed as soon as possible to hold the spread of the beetle. leaving behind vast areas of prematurely felled trees. to prevent something like this from happening again, the approach here is to not only bent on one tree, but on
4:15 am
a variety of trees by auction, it's like with a star or you're diversify your portfolio to minimize risk. that's what we're trying to do with the mix for as to why it, how this is an equal fish, be a scientist trying to identify the forest of the future. here are some of the candidates, 1st audio genes. beach ok, and sycamore trees are adapted to low elevations. they can survive with less water because they root systems are deeper. seconds of a new come out and select the douglas the native to north america. douglas for us can also handle more heat and droughts. these are currently seen as good candidates, but if we continue to heat up the planet, we will need to mix in some wild cods to find out which ones may be suitable with the syringe and forestry has been conducting and now of a 10 year old experiment. in the driest region of the forest was, is open to so it's more or less because in
4:16 am
a mixed for us to have to deal with various species of trees or supporting each have different risks and costs its price here all the way through to the marketing of the word or other product locked in for quotes with the home phone. but from our point of view, it's more is that it's because it reduces the rent and just go over it with you. you might have more expensive, smaller yield and budget for the forest owner. it carries less risk the go. he's a quote hosted thoughts, basically is plain bite visits on this type of forestry, as well as the national parks approach shows where a lot of international forests could be heading. if you guys are also a chance to adapting life change or speed up the 4th conversion. yeah. which would otherwise take much more time. it's best to get off of onto playing. does this, it's all good in terms of addressing the climate crisis, and it's good for resiliency as well as bio diversity. ok and see if i would, even though it might look tragic a new better forest is already starting to grow. one that has more resilience than
4:17 am
what we created before. and one that will hopefully weather and adapt to whatever is going to happen in the coming decade back. so daddy's a new addition to the streets here over the last decade has been this battery operated electric vehicle. and now these can be found across the d as in india. log on. yeah, they're really cheap for the rider, but also for the oil not. and they're also helping down meet it's dean energy diets in blythewood goes one easy cry at design. you would know from the outside batteries or can see beneath the know sign. see it's electric rich show is a viewing session for him. sign by signing my electric, rick shaw. this is like, got a selection me for me as it helps me earn a living. and i think it's my duty to take care of it daily. more and more ritual drivers by choosing to do without dirty diesel. because in the us population is
4:18 am
growing rapidly, especially in the cities. experts estimate the traffic good by 2050 and with it exhaust fumes. there are still millions of diesels, baldwood $2.00 and $3.00 with those on india as roads. but the markets for electric vehicles is moving as 2 we low sales sho, regarding an annual jump of 30 percent to some 900000 transport export side multiple reasons for this trend. which i could be took the major of reasons. the reasons for those growth in india to begin with, it's in this climate, but just in development policies that have sort of led to this transition from ice to electric, waiting broadly. the 2nd reason if i were to attribute is start off economics. and the total is the stock ups in india of its view and he started making these electric weight goes out in intrusted into getting into manufacturing and get us. let's click where it goes back to the little the start, i would say, in
4:19 am
a certain sense. and in many cases, the model is simple. instead of lots of actually blocks, it's usually the small ones that have a show to like, spend, what are affordable for drivers, like i showed to hon. that's a i'm in the middle. it costs less and has so many advantages compared to a normal rickshaw yet. then i can save up to a 1000 rupees a day off the side by side. to do, he wants to buy a new electric rick shop. he just needs to choose one. the government has invested heavily in electron mobility and offered subsidies and incentives to both customers and dealers. from a vehicle like this used to cost almost $3000.00 us dollars. but thanks to the government subsidy, it now only costs the customer half as much, and therefore far less than a gasoline powered car, or it's a whole new driving experience for customers. so
4:20 am
it is a give, we'll try this electric rick show is a really useful and available everywhere. they don't use gasoline. so we don't have any exhaust fumes. i often use them to take my children to school or to go to the bench the full market and visit my brothers. once more, the service is cheap. it's also easier to get in and out of the electric richer getting payments, very comfortable shop to han. yep. so take a test drive today. yeah, i've been driving an electric vehicle for 3 years. i only commute with my electric, rick, charlotte, what's that doesn't pollute the environment. it doesn't. it's meant as much exhaust fumes as gasoline and diesel vehicles. i got a bottle of me come on if i that's why he has come back for a new one. this business says $200.00 vehicles a month and is hiring new workers. and yet we've been in business for 10 years and
4:21 am
they have good annual growth. but in the last 2 years, post cove in this industry has seen phenomenal growth. people's mindset is changing in favor of electron mobility and dice and huge success in the future as well. anyway, copy, we're getting it available. a sentiment echoed by hundreds of companies in india's electric vehicles sector. and with more people like the north side, starting as electric groups, so drive us. they're helping to go to air pollution with each ride new tens and slots. eliza pollution is a major problem for the marine equal system here. and in the, the such as estimate to nearly $5000000.00 tons of fertilizers residues for you to the pulse line each year. and this is also a problem that denmark is dealing with. the bodies dixie is running out of oxygen. the baltic sea with its stunting nature, is one of northern york's most popular travel destinations. and the coastline along
4:22 am
by the field is one of denmark's most expensive residential areas. but its superficial beauty is deceptive. his weekly fishing trips continued to show the shot las amigos in how the feud is slowly dying. below the surface l. d is blooming, clouding the water, and depriving fish and underwater plants of by 2 lights and oxygen. scientists footage shows how the bottom of the fuel it has become nearly devoid of life in waters that once with full of cod flounder and loved fish. it used to be real fishes, paradise says nicholson. but now there are almost no fish less he's been going out to sea for over half a century because then had hoped to continue fishing off the retirement to supplement his pension. now taking the boat out is not really worth
4:23 am
it anymore. i'm either there's a new plan. he makes me both angry and frustrated. nobody is really doing anything special. no, it, it seems like those who should be taking action are only trying to shift the blame of the 2 point. oh, excuse me. no, no, no, no, i didn't nicholson's mind denmark's farm is to blame. the small country with just under $6000000.00 inhabitants is home to twice as many cows and pigs and many farm is used fertilizers on the fields that eventually end up in the c christian on the medicines, finalize only a few kilometers from the fuel. he says he has already cut the use of nitrates to the bare minimum. he uses a satellite images to monitor which fields need to be fertilized and which can do
4:24 am
without. but he thinks it would be impossible to give up. photo lies is altogether i think it's a good thing that we have reduce the nitrogen, but i don't think we can get any further. i think we got the lowest limit that we can accept as a from plants need nutrients to grain one grow without them since the pharma and since reducing the use of fertilizes his plan. so already only surviving on what is left in the ground, the mads, she has the christianson is aware of the problem. as a nature manager, he's overseeing a project and restoring the ecosystem. invite you fjord. he knows the hard facts and numbers. at this point, we know for a fact that the 80 percent of the nutrients emitted to why the fuel it comes from funding. we also have 10 percent today from, from the up in waste water and maybe 10 percent from,
4:25 am
from fish farming. but that is the range and that's uh tell us a little bit about where we need to have the nitrate run off regularly closes out the growth to explode. the balloon covers everything in the field, even killing the you grouse due to like the probation that same you grass is one of the most important elements in the eco system along the baltic sea coast. it produces oxygen and provides habitat for smaller fish. that's why christianson and his team from the municipality taken to planting new beds of new gross invited your feud. but the restoration project is complicated. artificial rapes are being built and muscle fonts created. these blue muscles filter dirty water, which in turn allows more light to penetrate deeper fuel grass can return and therefore produce oxygen. but when too many nutrients are flushed into the sea,
4:26 am
again, causing the algae to return, the fragile balance is thrown off and the nature manages concerns not restricted to divide. you fuel. we have hit this breaking point the, the system has collapsed within the last 56 years. so that's just the beginning. we will see this, this, the situation is over the baltic. along the coast. the eco system of the inland sea has become disrupted lots and because since these little other than crowds in the nets, he puts out in the value fuel of the since they no longer have any natural enemies, they have become a plague. destroying that you gross eating the muscles and killing the young fish. did code mucus in hopes that everyone in the region would take more responsibility and act to save his fuel
4:27 am
. because the problem, denmark is currently looking to solve is already threatening. the voltage sees entire coast modifying the way the fish bomb or get to the island is urgently needed to help us adapt to this after the changes. what are there any such of that patients that you are seeing that on where you are? let us know you can email us or reach out to me directly on my social media handles . i will see you next week until then take care. good bye. now my thoughts, the
