with climate change intensifying the stability of the planet is at stake. by twenty fifty greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by eighty percent if we are to have a chance of tackling this crisis environmentally to ship is needed more gently than abba in nov twenty fifth hopes were raised when world leaders committed to reducing emissions with the paris climate agreement but in june twenty seventh team president trump pulled the united states out of the a cold the united states will withdraw the reaction against his decision was widespread and immediate china stepped into the role of global environment leader and with the european union reaffirmed its commitment to tackling climate change it is now the biggest superpower in the world wide alliance of people fighting to protect the planet. a missile beard in washington d.c.

to find out how much people pose to make a difference and fighting climate change and i'm stephanie long and sentient southern china which is leading the world in low carbon chance our industry. even before it became president it was clear that trumps environmental policy is going to fly in the face of much of the progress made over the previous decade. only a few months into office and his approach threatens not only global security also that of the united states itself but the effects of climate change are already keenly felt. president trungpa started the process of rolling back the clean water rule which conserves the nation's waterways is written in the existence of the environmental protection agency the national organization set up to protect the environment and communities and these revived government support for fossil fuels as my administration is putting an end to the war on coal for trump's environmental legacy might have

a surprising twist i'm in the usa to see how communities are coming together to bypass the white house forming a global network of grassroots resistance. to come to the people's climate march here in washington d.c. it's one of three hundred marches across the country calling for a change in environmental policy. that they plan to meet at about climate because it's john and i get it right. the what. we're dealing with climate change right now is not a situation where you know it will be it coming to us in the future it is wrapping right now my feet and so i came all the way here to d.c. to say that enough is enough. with eighty one percent of the united states energy still coming from oil coal and natural gas many here to oppose to trumpet ministrations of the fossil fuel industry. was out with.

a come across with skillion from new york state and outspoken activists for a new bill energy well i guess industry is trying as has a serious on slot to walk us into the emphasis truck here and that's going to keep us addicted the fossil fuels for the next fifty years the people that are here was . it today they had a sack opposite message that new forms of energy alternative energy renewable energy. that. if the environment where a banker would be saved by now you could just stand here for ages looking at this wonderful kind of slogans. that. this chap up the front is michael he's from an organization called says from tonight they're facing some significant challenges with employees and their community oh yeah oh yeah but passiveness i've come here to represent my correlation as to how we can work together nationally. looking back climate change and global warming and what

is the power of this kind of protest to receive you know real true change has ever happened without this type of engagement from the civil rights movement. right for women. so gay rights. you name it all change we see that's happening to our communities our society that's been momentous has come through this type of engagement. by those later the official count comes in and it's a pass is everyone's expectations over two hundred thousand people showed up double the expected turnover. best to much points down this to one person who want to meet . with the stuff quit his job a senior advisor of the environmental protection agencies in firemen to justice team two months after the president trump came into power i want to know why he's here today as an individual sometimes it can be overwhelming and you feel disconnected we're connecting folks so it is a global movement there is

a global connection that is happening and we're going to utilize that power to make change not only for today but for future generations as well to give us a sense of how. you and the rest of the people here looking to pressure on the administration so this is not just a moment this is a movement and that means that once folks are done marching. we're breaking down silos people are coming together in authentic ways and creating collaboration folks are going to go back to their respective communities they're going to take the information that they've got here but they're also going to get engaged and that means that they're going to get engaged on the local level and the state level. talking to the marches here there's a real sense that people post can create change to have counted local trends will stand up to the hopeless whisking him who i met on the march he's invited me back to his farm in the catskill mountains north of new york state to show me how to do

just that former teacher wesley sort of small holding farm using one hundred percent renewable energy. so this is an electric charge it goes aground to the ground and then this is a portable religion or it yeah it's i mean one person can move it from one place either as we move the fence around. but wes isn't your average farmer he led the charge on one of the most powerful environmental says in campaigns in new york state history. two thousand and nine he built a local coalition that sidestepped federal policy by claiming that fracking in the state's waterways. using local state legal obligation to guarantee clean wanted to citizens within his colleagues managed to ban fracking across the entire state. today he has his sights set on a new bill to transition new york state into one hundred percent renewable energy

by twenty fifty it's a huge lift to do this but we need to mandate it and then and come up with how to do it and and labor's involved too because you know as right now there's more jobs in the renewable sector then there is in the fossil fuel sector and new york state has the the political inertia to do that now partly coming out. the fracking fight we have a highly educated population in the state because of that fracking fight so that's why we're going to albany. if successful will do with not just new york state towards a greener future creating thousands of jobs in the process to push it forward we're sitting to the state capitol building and opening every choose day groups and pointed. out that have there's a whole presentation on gun violence whatever legislation they're pushing. and people come from all over the state to follow and then you know some of these folks

are probably going off and having meetings with their elected officials from their communities this is just kind of book of politics is happening right it's this is it this is how it works in this country there's a lot of interesting ironies that happen on tuesdays in albany i might be here pushing for something to stop a pipeline and i'm a get on the elevator with someone from the oil and gas association of america who's got a paid lobbyist there. you know trying to do the exact opposite but pipelines all over the place. for lewis is he meets with his local legislative to food the plan for one hundred percent renewable energy in new york state. to the meeting. to play to his emerges with wingmen eddie pretty stiff it's a climate emergency the governor needs to show some urgency and so we need we don't know yet if he's going to step up and take the kind of bold leadership that we need in an age of trump but we have about four and

a half weeks to make it happen and i like our chances where you yeah well and what's going to us what's going to happen next i mean we've got another meeting with folks in the senate though the other thing that's going to happen is it is going to go back to brooklyn i'm going to go to the cascades and we're going to get everybody in those places on board with us and push for it then they can ignore it and the folks the organizations that function out of albany. they're going to be doing the same thing here in albany with all those alive. was they told us ten years ago there's no way that you could stop fracking it's going to happen you know and after a seven year fight governor now that there's a ban on fracking we stopped it so i'm really matter what president trump says about the e.p.a. are right and we're going to make that transition despite and that would be. we don't know if they're going to succeed in this but what we do know is after being in d.c. and seeing all these community groups all working together is that climate change

is not one problem is one silver bullet solution it's made up of many little problems that interact in intersect in every aspect of our lives and what that means is that we'll have an opportunity to get involved as i see the getting involved and being together that's the people above us the solution. a month after filming continued and for this by west and other campaigners who validated when the governor of new york state andrew cuomo signed an executive order pushing only agencies to develop plans for eighty percent of you and i treated. my moma. every. night you know. throughout the united states coalitions of solidifying united by the commitment to meet the parasitical targets the group climates madsen's over three hundred members

. every one thousand two hundred governance has colleges universities and businesses have joined a public campaign pulled me us to. a union of twelve states plus plus a recount has been founded by the governess of washington new york and california the united states congress alliance as a coalition. enough states that have reacted to president trump's decision to withdraw the united states from a climate treaty and the state stepped up taking it upon themselves to do the things that would be necessary if the united states were still at the table this is a coalition that can get as big as there are jurisdictions that are willing to work with us i think there's real hope that as states see other states joining and getting some benefit out of it that they'll decide that they want to be part of it to california is also working internationally in june twenty seventh

team governor jerry brown signed a deal to work on climate change with china china looks to us now as representatives of the united states they want to see not just california of other states coming to china they want to send people here to learn from some of our techniques that we've used over the years to bring down the levels of smaug which not that long ago were as bad as what you now see today and then again seeing countries or states or cities that are cutting their emissions and doing well economically is what everybody needs to be doing and we all can learn from each other because there is no one place that has a monopoly of all the good ideas. china is the world's biggest c o two emitter and urban air pollution here has to be

scraped by megacities like shenzhen are now harnessing the power of both the government and the private sector to roll out new low carbon transport initiatives that are blazing a trail not just for other cities in china and the rest of the world. in a booming metropolis in china southeastern many factoring belts. until the eighty's just a farming community engine was chosen as a testing ground for communist china's experiment with capitalism. now it's china's answer to silicon valley with over eleven million inhabitants one hundred fifty skyscrapers and three million cars. but china's boom has come at a price the world health organization has estimated that air pollution kills one million people in the country each year it's a crisis that desperately needs a solution and hard and that solution is hopefully about to kick me out.

if i knew. so i just hopped into one of sentence electric taxis and they say that by twenty twenty all of the time seasons change and i'm going to be fully electric which is amazing so i'm off to find out how that's going to be done. i'm visiting b.y.d. or build your dreams which produce the five thousand five hundred electric taxis currently on qianqian street. richard lee is going to show me around it was a good morning i am going to be on the welcome so for people who don't know too much about lucky tell us about it but you are do stars in the other ninety five as a better manufacturers' but now you are the true the world more of these new energy vehicle manufacturers. so this is the view of the six and this is the first and in most says full of you are the purity vehicle was fully charged as

a view it gives you four hundred on the five range we may be there are those two types fleet but in china the world's. b y dever flex a global shift in the industry towards china which last year sold around four hundred thousand new energy vehicles more than twice as many athletes u.s. that's been made possible by the billions of u.s. dollars worth of subsidies which. chinese government has used to boost the industry . by. ok title a source of c.s. for example is engine by talking like this so you can entitle a rally forty thousand already be told those subsidies. that's about fifteen percent off the price of this car their best selling plug in hybrid which uses a chargeable battery and a gasoline engine so because this is a plug in hybrid car so you features truth right no so now we operating this even though so that is a period of five five million know and then you know you have

a civi over there yes. because if you switch the s.u.v. and if it ends up with the engine started yeah ok right you feel it so valuable further powerfulness. but it's not just cars be my ideas making electric buses trucks and service vehicles for ports airports and even mines. and electric monorail runs through their campus the goal is to fully electrify every transportation sector. in change and that's already becoming a reality if the logic doesn't go by but. so it's pretty amazing to think that i september all of us doesn't change and i'm going to be fully electric like this town. all this means that

within a few years the city's entire public transportation system will be fossil fuel free . but what about the roughly three million private drivers. now. a matching of a violent. i'm taking a ride with lou don't pump he recently became a father and also bought his second electric car. it was a was also hold as a woman the. wise shoot was what is wrong so can see it's a longer kind of star general it was a generalization all piled up and you were going to switch your watch it would. loose all so much potential in the electric car market that he opened his own dealership and repair shop in july twenty sixth. the. engine has restricted new license plates for fuel cars while dishing them out liberally for new electric vehicles or any bs for short lou has seen monthly sales almost double in the last six months trying to make the cut and how malaysia list again on china

. will has no words since this is simply. a wal mart in those hot out of five star says a market how it shows on talk of new zealand hawker is that the semifinals of the are going to do what i was doing and live over and just as in my miles an hour. it seems that consumer perceptions have already shifted. so i spy a customer and see what she thinks. of the harsh unless you don't have those you know who you are she sure shouldn't a bit busy is known to those who should do less with the how we're going to shift which are the ones which are you the fool who do the yoyo we are going home. today though. of course all the cell atrocity has to come from somewhere inch engine running an electric car generally produces less than a third of the c o two of a gasoline car but it's still not carbon zero. luckily there's an even cleaner way

to get around one that runs on nothing but good old fashioned legwork. need to china's dock list city cycles in a little more than a year legions of these smart bikes have flooded the country cities operated by two dozen competing companies each with a distinct color and design by the end of twenty seventeen china will have twenty million of them. i'm meeting up with cycle in the easiest and john she went to learn how to use mobile one of the leading companies. kuykendall i'm not a zero zero zero. zero zero zero just a few times that sony not only. have been. so nice to me it's one of those whom you don't know just oh you're going to. jump to the you know the application

uses g.p.s. to find a bike near you. just like the white. house. no longer was. you pay with mobile payment which is now widely used across china and off you go. so i'm testing out the smoke like in this part right now before i. unleashed myself. in the world you know on the streets of shenzhen and it was pretty good right now. i mean even. no one would be sure one is going to the so it's always nice out on top down home in. edition melbourne sometimes just a tie so true sometimes a teacher once said i don't run for so i hopped on a hot tub somewhere until i got some since i owe you all of them sometimes all the

money to hide she said i'm so not. so much so that made my actual sound. just over a year since their launch mo bike has two hundred thousand bikes and change and alone now they could be coming to a city near you mo bike is already up and running in singapore and a chinese competitor is launching in the us this year. but being able to leave them anywhere does create problems. i'm meeting with some mo by voice as they're known to find out how they stop the city from being overtaken by discarded by it's ok to eventually run a play about upon how much. when when how and fung jan ching use g.p.s. to search for faulty bikes reported by users. so why the. embargo. on cuba.

are hunt has brought us to one of gentes neighborhoods known as urban villages. should i am ok demasi those are. all be. ok for. a while. and really stuck together. they're literally like you know how one pedal that's just stuck in this photo way it's a free ok ok so somebody has locked these by for gather well that complicate thing the minds of the young element showing off on the job is a bunch of. those cycles that make it out alive get fixed up and redistributed to official parking spots local transport authorities have set these up to accommodate the new bikes and to try to regulate the system. so now this private initiative has been incorporated into the public transport system.

ahead knowing sales hype engines she. he was visiting all but one of them was a member of the all knowing joe on title fine job where he was also you know them without us and someone will hold phase then he'll then hold me to his means you know the bob barr will hold on so that. order out of chaos. the cycle system is still far from perfect but it shows how willing the government is to let private businesses solve environmental problems and overall the approach is working harmful small particulate matter in chansons air has almost halved in the last four years if the trend continues she engine will succeed in meeting e.u. air quality standards by two thousand and twenty it would be the first major

chinese city to do that encouraging cities like shanghai and beijing that are also investing in low carbon transport. china is still the world's biggest polluter but there's no doubt it's moving forward fast and that's at least one reason to be optimistic. the environmental crisis facing our planet is greater now than ever before but as we've seen in the series of asteroids it's in the face of the biggest challenges that some of the most effective solutions kind of much some depend on cutting edge science whilst others can be simple. oh as spearheaded by people who are determined to make a difference it's when local initiatives get wider political and financial support that they can really make a difference globally despite the current us administration people and governments

around the world a coming together in the box to combat climate change this can only be encouraging wondrous so much work to do. the antarctic ice sheet is melting a process that is affecting the entire globe. in a special episode prize joins fifty five scientists on a breathtaking journey of discovery around the continent into the past on the future of the planet. but it's quite amazing just to see it and that's that that's the when you rise up this time on al-jazeera.

with over forty thousand people killed under his rule it took twenty five years to bring him to a court of law. but why for so long with such a brutal dictator considered an ally of the west who heard that recording to the cover said to the press they were engaged in a clandestine al-jazeera unravels the history of chad's notorious former president the same habit a dictator on trial at this time on al-jazeera i really felt liberated as a journalist was. getting to the truth as i was that's what his job.
