the hope is it will spread awareness about the impact we have on the climate and how to reduce our carbon footprint. natasha name el jazeera, doha. the mirror of cat. i says his country has faced unprecedented criticism in the 12 years leading up to hosting the world cup shift. i mean, been hammered. are fannie has called the attacks on his country. defamation mando. allah, charlotte is still off at castle allan. the other couple since we won the honor of hosting the world cup and our country has been subjected to an unprecedented campaign, but no other previous host country has ever experienced. we initially del, with the mother in goodwill. and we even considered some criticisms as positive and useful as to develop certain aspects that need to be developed to it. but it soon became clear to us that the campaign continues, expands, include slander and double standards, and gets more degrees of ferocity was due on this has made many wonder, unfortunately, about the real reasons of motives behind this campaign. ah,

her again, i'm fully batty boy. with the headlines on al jazeera, the u. k. 's new prime minister re she so knock as officially taken office, vowing to fix the mistakes of his predecessor. jeremy hunt will continue as finance minister won. so ela braverman will return as home secretary, one of the most highly anticipated debates in the u. s. midterm election campaign has taken place in pennsylvania. democrat, john ferryman and republican memory are in a fierce contest for the state senate seat. pennsylvania could decide control of the chamber and the future of prison biden's agenda. the candidates clashed over abortion, one of the key issues of the mid term campaign. i want to look into the face of every woman in pennsylvania. you know, if you believe that the choice of your reproductive freedom belongs with doctor us

than you have a choice. but if you believe that the choice for abortion belongs between you and your doctor, that's what i fight for roe v wade for me is, should be the law. as a physician, i've been in the room when there's some difficult conversations happening. i don't want the federal government involved with that at all. i want women, doctors, local political leaders, letting the democracy this always allowed our nation to thrive, to put the best ideas forward. so states can decide for themselves. germany is hosting a conference on rebuilding ukraine after russia's invasion. hundreds of billions of dollars are needed for reconstruction. german chancellor, olaf shoals call the effort a great generational task that must begin. now. at least 11 children have been killed in a fire to school for the blind in uganda. 6 others are in a critical condition. it happened in we'll corner near the capital compiler. please see, it's unclear how the fire started. a well known journalist in haiti has survived an

hello. hello, welcome to the stream. i'm from the ok. these scale of our global climate emergency . so big that we're seeing climate change, toys making headlines every day. but there's not so much news about remarkable creative climate action happening around the well to inspire and encourage us. so in today's session episode, we are joined by a former you and climate chief. i'm guess to bring you the good news climate action show. my co host for this show, today's christiana, for gabby's. she is a full, my executive secretary of the u. m. framework. conventional climate change and he's co founder of global optimism and also co host, the outrage and optimism podcast. i don't know how she has time to join us, but she adds on i, i do get the honor. thank you so much for being here. when i was thinking about how do we do climate action back to and communicate that better? i always think about you because you've coined

a phrase which is stubborn. optimism on pat. well, the law through. yeah. well, 1st of all, thank you very much for asking me to join you today. very exciting and you know, the message that you brought right in the beginning is so true. the fact is that we are having exponentially growing climate affects that are old very negative end. however, at the same time, we have exponentially growing encouraging initiatives that convey an excitement of the world. oh yeah, that not just averts the worst of the climate crisis, which would be the minimum, but actually also helps to build a world that is safe for clean air, more adjust. i'm much better world than the one that we're experiencing right now. so let me thank you so much for this program. i'm very excited because today we're going to bring just a few stories that are meant to boost your confidence in what is already taking place and trigger your imagination for what can be. so for me,

i do we have i'm, i'm so excited. just listening to you. hi, for the show, i thought to chris the ana, then one of the things that is really important for us to do is for us to let you know that you tube is live, it is available right now. if you got comments or questions for christiana, you can put them into a comment section and be part of today's shut, looking forward to a oh. all right, so can you imagine a world with no fossil fuels at 80? so to get that we needle tentative forms of clean energy by k, a cohen, ace, co founder of the green hydrogen production company called a nat. welcome to the streams climate action optum is an episode wiped a as i get to have you. i suppose for most of our view as are many of them, they would want just a really quick and easy explanation for what green hydrogen is. i don't you never

said this before. can you tell us now thanks so much for having me today. it is a real pleasure to be able to tell you more about korean hydrogen and, and after so green hydrogen, as you just said, is an alternative fuel. it can replace our dirty molecules that we have today, coal, oil, and gas. and how do you make green hydrogen? well, you have a device called an electrolyzer. ours looks like a box. actually it's about size of a microwave. and what it does is that it uses electricity from solar and wind, for example, and splits water h 20 into hydrogen and oxygen. and that's how you make green hydrogen. simple, right. all you need a sun and water christiana. well, the exciting thing, my dad, so good to see you again know we've been together in the past. so good to see you again. and i just think that the exciting thing here is we have become over the past few years, we've become used to having solar in wind directly producing energy out to the

point where i think those what used to be called new renewable energy by now traditional renewable energy, so what i think is so exciting about what you're doing. my day is that you're building on that, right? you're building on that to produce an energy that is much more energy intensive than the original wind and solar solar. and that therefore can be much more powerful in displacing coal and, and gas in those sectors that are very energy intensive. you are definitely on the front lines of very important breakthroughs in energy. how do you see that? we're going to break into those here to 4 unbreakable sectors. yeah, i mean the, you put it so well, right before we had green electricity, but we needed this green fuel. and so now being able to scale green hydrogen means that we can d carbonized,

those heavy emitting industries like the transportation sector or steel, cement all d as in just your processes. and so what you'll do is that you'll produce green hydrogen on site. and then if we're looking at the transportation sector, for example, let's just focus on aviation. what you'll do is that you'll have electrolyzer on site at the airport, and you will be producing green hydrogen refueling it and then it will fly c o 2 free. and it's the same process, right? if you want to make a green hydrogen for steel, for example, again, you make your hydrogen on site and then you'll use it directly. so some, some use cases store the hydrogen, some use a directly. but what it does essentially, is that it is reducing our c o 2 emissions at one of the things i love about you've, i tell you, is that you understand that the technology and, and you're able to explain the tack and break it down for people. but you're also a great story teller, and it really is important that people who understand what this kind of technology

mean for people down on the ground. so i know you bought some video with you. i'm gonna share this with out what it's just to wrap up with. so this is a village in malaysia and nat to have partnered with pest tech, which is a local energy company. and this is how this film has been transformed. take a look for you. i do like to you in order to do a demo to speak with you soon, and i was on duty to plug in more of like a school board more where my jo. i school on i say it's been such a pleasure showing your work with our audience around the world. we wish you an actor every success in the future. so a christiana, what i'm thinking about here is when we're being optimistic, do we use the carrot or do we use the stick approach?

and i think sometimes lawyers are the stick approach we're trying to make change happen. what he thank yes and sometimes the stickers necessary, isn't that? so what by tap is just proven is the importance of technology and pulling the technology of the future into the present, which is incredibly helpful. but in addition to technology, we also need grass roots movement and where they have been incredibly successful is in the legal space, as you have mentioned, to me, and perhaps the most famous and most successful story, there is out more or less $900.00 dutch citizens who brought a case against their own government, arguing that the government was not protecting them duly from the ravages of climate change and they stuck with it. they stuck with it for 4 years. they had

this legal battle that went all the way up to the supreme court and the supreme court ruled that they were right. but their government was not protecting them against the ravages of climate change. and the supreme court forced the government to reduce 25 percent of emissions in a very short time that has inspired other cases across europe in canada, in new zealand, in columbia. and what it proves is that legal cases are also very powerful instrument, but it also shows that the power of people, these are $900.00 dodge citizens, does normal citizens, ok. these are not famous people. these are $900.00 citizens that were concerned about the impact. so what do we know about grass roots movement? what do we know about community and the role that they play in climate action? there's so much more power than you know, you have and to you harness it. before we move on christian,

and i'm going to bring in one more voice, and this is the voice of dennis van burchell, who we spoke to a little bit earlier. he is a lawyer, and he leads a group of lawyers to keep government accountable. let's hear about that. we can, we move on. governments have promised us for decades that there will do what is necessary in order to prevent dangerous climate change, but their actions simply don't add up. there's a huge gap between what they say must be done, hold them particular $1.00 degrees and what they're actually doing. a court provide a unique forum to scrutinize the statements of government to scrutinize whether what government are saying with regard to their actions on climate change actually at up and are sufficient in order to cumulatively protect us against all those dangers impacts. climate change when active is emerges with science is a very powerful formula. as we are about to find out. doctor to lula oni is an

urban epidemiologist who leads the citizens the clean air campaign in nigeria, ghana and south africa, hello tale. so good to have you. i've told you i'm going to make a black girl blush because when i 1st heard about you, i was, oh, she's dynamic, she's connecting, she's brilliant. how do you even live up to that? what is it that you and your mission? is what are you trying to do that takes you to at least 3 different countries on the african continent, and getting citizens scientists to understand what's happening to the environment. thanks for me, i could say the same thing. i say we, what drives me is a fact that we have the youngest continent globally, with people in on the african continent and 19 on our when we talk about health, we should be talking about ways to keep young people healthy. now evolution is particularly something that animates me because in both is an important exposure

that is important for health, but is also very low hanging fruit in terms of timing action because we know a lot of the air pollutants also greenhouse gas is contributing global warming. so i started seeing that, you know, from a public health perspective, we understand the importance of public space and how to get people moving and the physical health. but they also leave evolution risks. and i started looking around and realizing what really measuring, measuring in the cities. at the same time, we saw this is incredible passion and commitment to environmental justice and kind of the cities. and i thought, what if we can get and harness with energy from the majority demographic on the continent to be part of the solution because we can't change what we don't measure . so what we do is, is exactly that we're looking at the ways that we can emphasize a crucial role. the young people can and should play in designing and developing

and shaping the urban environments that we live in for both health and climate resilience. who's gonna well, what i love about this to love, always thought that it is so important to humanize glide that global climate change . and honestly, it's very difficult for people to understand that these feel fossil fuels emit gases that have a global impact. but it's much easier to understand that the very same fossil fuels also emit local pollutants that are affecting our loans. especially in cities, as you say. and so the health and climate overlap is so critical because it makes it so much more understandable. i totally love that air quality really makes the pollution from fossil fuels. so immediate, and i'm assuming totally, but please tell us that this has actually really energized young people. mothers who are concerned about the lungs of their children who are concerned about the

health of the that their children are growing up with. this is something that goes absolutely to the very bottom of our own concern about our own health and the health of our children. doesn't it? yes, lately, anthony mentioned earlier about that is in science. so we had one of the b, animating aspects of this initiative. if we had young people that were, we were christian republic selection and they designed running roads and they ran through the city with a quality monitors and with an app but captured photos, videos or do you showing the polluted air sources of clean air. and they really rally each of the run leaders rallied and recruited the pack to run with them. and they use that opportunity to share why is so important to them. and one of the things that we did was then they, they looked at the data they collected, i may use that to design intervention,

so that maybe review with one of the things that we've seen here in our city. how does it quality differ? how does this policy are public safety for within on between cities and they use that to design and advocacy and activism, campaign that we're doing in the run up to 27. so they've been doing rounds again in the cities in across labor. but also beyond those cities, i'm on the 10th of november, which is when comp $27.00 is happening in egypt. the vendor is also you stay and it's the science being day. and so what we really want to do is push and we invite everyone to join. this is to push the agenda to show that is really critical for both health and climate. and young people play a critical role in designing and shaping, changing that future for a healthy planner is in like, and it's sunny for. thank you so much for being on our climate. optimism show you embodied what we were trying to do, what they tried to get over,

and we wish you every success with all of your campaigns and your work. thank you to lou, but as i say, thank you to tell you i want to bring in another young climate activist from the found of i lead climate action initiative. this is what she told us a few hours ago christiana, and i know you and a lot of time this young time activist. what do you make of what, at an e k has to say. it punch in it all out with the full climate occasions. we get to find out that was the, don't know that a problem is, is your can. so before approach to us now we in is that kitchen and it gives him people young people then expanding deal rise on full time job is well, she is so right. educating people is so important because it's the only way that we're going to get mobilization. now i think the difficulty around that and me is to educate young people and also not so young people about the reality of climate

change, which includes 2 pillars, the thread of climate change. but as we're discussing here, also the opportunity of addressing climate change. and unfortunately most education is. busy only on the impacts and the disasters of climate change and we have not, i still have yet to see serious programs that also bring the opportunities. for example, we've just seen, you know, i'm, the to atalla has just talked to us about air quality monitors. what happen if we have air quality monitors on every single cell phone in the world. we would have much more education about air quality and much more awareness about where air quality is being threatened and what we can do about it. so we have to have both, both the opportunity of addressing climate change as well as of course, the threats and the impacts a cushion. i know you said a little bit of you talking to us about the power that people have the power of

community. and when i spoke to kit us a little bit earlier on, he really embodied what it is that we're able to do because sometimes we feel that the climate crisis is overwhelming. but this is what kit us has to say about that. here is we know that every single piece of media legislation that's passed in u. s. history has been due to movement building. while we're talking about the civil rights acts of that, these are sixty's, are mer to quality. they will not have happened without people being in the streets over the course of years, pushing for politicians to do so. so we look at the recent claim at all. that's past the 1st one, m u s. history. we know that it's the work of groups like sunrise movement brushing officials to deliver for them. i final segment today is about community and how it lies at the heart of climate action. in puerto rico, the community based organization, casso, pablo is transforming the central mounting castle pueblo executive director arturo muscle. dea joins as now. arturo,

it is so great to have you because of what you do and what you're doing, what the community is doing, is community based sustainable programs that really show us how do we live in the future because you already doing it in the present. when i, when i want to, when i think about the kind of programs that you're doing, what, what would you want to share that global audience? the one that scanty blow their minds and gonna tell their friends about tomorrow. we have to either grade the agenda. we have been protecting the land fighting for water security and doing that requires to confronted fossil fuel economy. ready any 1999, we'd stablish our 1st solar system, and the idea is to democratize energy generation at the point of consumption in which people can benefit directly for from entity security. we have our main installation costs up webinar the radio, straighten the transmission tower. we built a solar c and emma. we have been helping hundreds of houses that has chronic

disease. people that requires energy security for betty co purposes. we have done their barbershop and ended pharmacy and they bakery and then they jeanetta and other places looking for economic activation. and as we're moving forward, transforming our energy landscape, where becoming a reference for local development. thinking people thinking the engagement, education and protecting our natural resources as well in a way that we are also better prepared to confront climate change in the caribbean . christiana way. no. i thought, oh yeah ken was think on sandy, has a wonderful do to be here with you. what piece had to do that you didn't speak to that? i would love to invite you to is the resilience of a renewable resources. how they are so much more resilient to the impacts

of these amazing stories, odd child that the caribbean, and so many of the other areas of the world are having and how, how at least tell us, how long was, what is the recall without electricity except gossip way because you had cellar is just such a fantastic story. after year again, maria in an altered almost 4 months, ended up in the urban areas that rural communities over one year without power and central part of the island. what was both of the poverty regions are located. it was the last 30 percent in which energy was, was re store. so building energy resilience a, we were able to reopen gas up where they, they, after, and the consequences of these you, ricans are very bad, but the reality is, it is that the aftermath is what it, what transform if you,

rick an experience into a human disaster? a lot of failures from the public and private utility and yet gossip where local was producing power. we reopen, we became an energy way, sees people came here to recharge their equipment. dialysis therapy, respiratory machines. at a radio station was on, we were able to leap lloyd and respond to pre bound right away because we were energy energy secure. that's what we have been fighting for, not only for gas up where low but for the whole community and the different elements of our community to be also to also enjoy their benefits. all producing power, clean energy at their point of consumption. and i'm so happy to see that there's older technologies, either a or their options in the pipeline that will help strength configurations like the

want we have been built in that won't us a to i so enjoy, watch me because you have a so a swagger about it is like when the, when the rest of the week as a pain, they came to ask the how to help them because we had the energy leave able to help them that so much providing what you want and congratulations. thank you for continuing to be a model for all of us watching around the and i'm going to take a little bit of your solar swagger and take it through the rest of my week. arturo, thank you so much, really appreciate you. christiana, before we go on, you to people who are having a conversation about the climate crisis. it is always a debate. one of our viewers is asking, what about the point of no return, or does stubborn optimism say that we don't even use that phrase, and we just get on and roll our sleeves up? well, we don't know, right? we don't know the point if we, if we're going to get to the point of no return,

scientists have been telling us that we're getting horrendously close to going over thresholds that are going to be irreversible. but that is exactly the reason why we have to double down. that is exactly the reason why we need these kinds of stories that we've heard today. multiply times a w3w1xw because we don't want to get to the point of no return. and here's the thing, we can stop this, we can actually reverse the trend of greenhouse gas emissions, which is currently still rising. we can reverse that trend to a decreasing trend of greenhouse gas emissions and thereby a bird the worst of the climate crisis. but any scientists have been abundantly clear that we have to do that by 2030. so yes, there are many wonderful stories and we need to go exponential with them because we are getting very, very close to the deadline. i christiana for cameras. he's been such

a pleasure being your co house on the climate optimism show a really appreciate you have a look here on my laptop, these a t places. i really want you to have a look at global optimism. look what christiana and her teams of what they are doing, and also an incredible podcast, outrage, an optimism podcast. it will keep you entertained and educate you and inspire you as well. thanks for watching today. show us in the next time. take everybody. ah. this was a young woman, the likes of which we have never seen. this is important. this is true story from breaking down the headlines to expose in the powers attempting to silence reporting

. we're seeing media freedom being threatened and attacked is basically criminalizing journalism. the listening post doesn't cover the news. it covers the way the news is covered. people have no idea when the source of news is that the game, the growth, and that broad for the on al jazeera, the latest news as it breaks. for many, this is a referendum on your bike and the 1st 2 years in the white house. and if the polls are to be believe it will be good news for the democrats with detailed coverage to where it says the flood that level find it's receiving. but that's not the only confirmed here from around the world, but the situation is far from stable in this region. and ukrainian military forces are saying that they're dealing with a potential renewed, russian evolves. a diverse range of stories from across the globe. from the perspective of our networks, journalists on al jazeera,

frank assessments. if the united states league felt that you're running a good program, was there to build a nuclear weapon, they would have signed a deal by now informed opinions. i believe that armenia and other regions should have bilateral negotiations. we've been calling that for many times. critical debate is the commonwealth now still something that king charles will take home in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera watching the world cup in 1982 glorious technicolor from spain. i've never seen anything like these plays about it come from a different planet. and after that, i was all in all the world cup. i think reporting from doha, which is now my home on the very 1st woke up. it's going to take place in the middle east, going to be a nice it is a hugely complex and often controversial events cover. so once a ball is kick, the passion and the excitement of football thanks. hope.
