people are in the, you know, the country does. we reached before another form that captivated audiences was about the race to save ancient forests from logging companies in north america and columbia. what happens a lot in north america is people just think these are regional stories. and, but i think it really shows that, you know, the cutting down of forces is a universal theme from country to country. the filmmakers say the intent to continue to use their platform to tell stories that matter to millions of people. cathy sawyer zebra nairobi ah, without a 0, these are the top stories. the u. k. is new leader where she soon act has faced his 1st prime minister's questions upstairs. neither care storm or accused sonic of leading a government that puts party 1st and country 2nd. but soon access his records

do climate action better and communicate that better? i always think about you because we've kind a phrase which is stubborn. optimism on pat. well, the law screw. 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 all 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 yeah, i'm, i'm so excited. just listening to you. hi, for the show, i thought to christiana, then one of the things is reading pull 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 tia cohen is co founder of the green hydrogen production company, could enact to welcome to the streams,

climate action, optimism 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 think you never sent 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 after that so green hydrogen, as you just said, is an alternative fuel it can replace, are 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. no, 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 not 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, 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, i'll 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 the directly. but what it does essentially, is that it is reducing our c o 2 emissions. one 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 also a great story teller, and it really is important that people who understand what this kind of technology mean to 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, a nap 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 that to you, and i do a demo to speak with you soon. and my son judah, hayden, was there to plug in a school board, or 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 christina, 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 this stick approach where we're trying to make change happen. what do you think? 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 movements and where they have been incredibly successful is in the legal space. as you have mentioned, a penny, and perhaps the most famous and most successful story, there is a 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 that 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 citizens that i'm 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 in to you, hon. i said before we move on christiana, 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. well, we move on government promised us for decades that they 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 temperatures below $1.00 degrees. and what they're actually doing in court provide a unique for him 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.

impact climate change when active is emerges with science is a very powerful formula. as we are about to find out dotala 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, 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 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 ad newton 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, i've always thought that it is so important to humanize, glide, the global climate change. and honestly, it's very difficult for people to understand. but these feel possible fuels emit gases that have a global impact, but it's much easier to understand that the very same fossil fuel also emit local pollutants that are affecting our mom, especially in cities. 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 told you,

but please tell us that this is actually really energized young people. mothers who are concerned about the lungs of their children were concerns 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, really. anthony mentioned earlier about that as a 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 routes 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 it's 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 of public safety 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 the labels. but also beyond those cities, i'm on the 10th of november, which is when come $27.00 is up in egypt. the 10th of november is also use day 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 planners. and it's 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're trying to get over, and we wish you every success with all of your campaigns and your work. thank you to loop, 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 spent a lot of time is young time activities. what do you make of what add a new k has to say, a passion it's i've like yes, the full climate occasions. we get to find out that once you don't know that a problem is, is your cancer? so there was a approach to us now when is he said kish and it gives him people young people then expanding deal rise on full time job. 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 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, on to atalla has just talked to us about air quality monitors. what would happen if we had 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 palla, the people half 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 kind of door that's past the 1st one and us history. we know that the work of groups like sunrise, movement, pressure officials to deliver for them. i find all segment to day 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, pablo's executive director arturo muscle. dia 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're 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 of our global audience? the one that scanty blow their minds and gonna tell their friends well, to morrow. we have to eat a great di agenda. we have been protecting the land, fighting for water, security, and doing that requires to confront to fossil fuel economy 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. they 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 in the caribbean. christiana, why no, i thought, oh i like it was like when i was saying is so wonderful. do to be here with what

piece had to do that you didn't speak to that i would love to invite you to is the resilience of renewal of renewable resources. how they are so much more resilient to the impacts all these amazing stories, odd child that the caribbean, and so many of the other areas of the world are having and how, how, what please tell us how long was the recall without electricity except gossip. why not? because you had seller is just such a fantastic story. after year again, my dear in and who does it? almost 4 months ended up in the urban areas that brutal communities over one year without power and central part of the island were boys. 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, cast 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 a heroic, 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. ah, 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, we were 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 new chip, 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 cassiano 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.
