married, and he assured voters, the country is heading in the right direction. the map or the powers in your head. you're one of the res, why never been more optimistic about america's future? look, america's reasserting ourselves, leading the world, the 21st century. as i travel this country around the world, i see great nation, because i know we're a good people. we just have, remember who were not, how well we are. we are the united states of america has nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity. if we do it together so boat, former president, donald trump, has been campaigning in ohio, where he's promised to make a big announcement on november. 15th trump has strongly hinted at another run for the white house in 2024, but has yet to officially confirm his candidacy. you are in chief antonio terrace as warns that the world is losing the battle against climate change. speaking at

the cop $27.00 conference in egypt, he told leaders that the planet is approaching tipping points and will lead to irreversible damage. the clock is ticking. we are in the fight of our lives and we are losing greenhouse gas emissions. keep growing global temperatures. keep rising and our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate scales you reversible. we are on a highway to climate tell without foot still on the accelerator. italy is government is being sued by humanitarian organizations for rejecting migrants rescued at sea to foreign own ships or refusing to leave this sicilian puerto cataneo. until all the migrants on board are allowed to disembark. a 3rd ship, which has been at sea for days, has, however, been given the go ahead by italian authorities to proceed to port 5 key ukrainian companies,

including an energy company have been nationalized for war. time. state needs is the 1st time the government has it. you such a law since russia invaded ukraine and at least 10 people are still missing in iraq . a day after building caught fire and collapsed. rescue crews that say the cause of the blaze is not clear. rocks, civil defense director and several firefighters are among the injured those are the headlines for you. the news continues here in al jazeera, that's after the st. spiraling costs dwindling supplies. the shock is being felt around the world with the war in ukraine triggering just supply uncertainty, europeans or bracing themselves for an unprecedented winter. al jazeera reports on the human costs of the winter energy crisis. good.

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 world to inspire and encourage us. so in today's such a episode, we're joined by a former you and climate chief, i guess to bring you the good news climate action show my co house for the show, today's christiana, for garris. she is a former executive secretary of the u. m. framework convention on climate change and his co founder of global optimism and also co host, the outrage and optimism podcast. i didn't know how she had time to join us, but she has and i do get the honor. thank you so much for being here. when i was thinking about how will we 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 to 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 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 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 after the 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 needed 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 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 all d as in just real 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 it 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. 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'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 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 it to you and i do a little too much, imo to speak with you soon and i was on duty to plug in a school board more for my job a 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 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. dad 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. as here about they were, we move on government promised us for decades. 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 them for to 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. in fact, climate change went out to his emerges with science is a very powerful formula. as we are about to find out data to lula, oni is an urban epidemiologist who leads the citizens the clean air campaign in

nigeria, ghana and south africa hello tally. 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. christiana, well, what i love about this chill out, 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 city. 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 is in science. so we had one of the b, animating aspects of this initiative. if we had young people, but we were christians, republic selection, and they design runny roads and they ran through the city with a quality monitors and with an app but captured photos, videos or do you showing sources 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 for within on between cities and they use that to design and advocacy and activism, campaign that we very 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 called $27.00 is 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 tony 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 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 spent a lot of time is young claun activist. 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. so find out that was the, don't know that a problem is, is your cancer? so there was a approach to us now when you 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. 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, 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're talking to us about the palla 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 and us history has been due to movement building. whether 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 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 about global audience? the one that scanty blow their minds and gonna tell their friends well to morrow we have to eat and grade the 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 way of no, 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 care way. no, i thought, oh i like it was like on rosanna so wonderful. do to be here with you. what piece had thought of 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 a please 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 you are again mighty, yet in an altered, almost 4 month 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. 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 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 frank assessments. if the united states truly felt that you're running a good program, was there to build a nuclear weapon they would have signed the deal by informed opinions. i believe that armenia and as of agenda should have bilateral negotiations. we've been

holding that for many times. critical debate is the commonwealth now still something that king chose will take in depth analysis of the data global headlines inside story on al jazeera, emergency services across bank hope are receiving 60000. i sneak related pulls a year. the reason why we found more snacks in house is just because they aggressive expansion of the city. they don't have a choice because their natural habitat isn't there anymore. there's one place in the homes of the city where they're, well, they're coming out now with a king cobra, which is the largest venomous snakes in the world. this is one of the few places where they melt them for their venom. this is the red cross snake bomb, a regional hub, the and t been in production below the center produces enough anti venom to most of south east asia. there are some parts of the world west supplies, but desperately showed. a 3rd of the country is under water. more than 33000000 are suffering from hunger, disease,
