10:33 pm
come back from the dead 101 east investigates on. i'll just see around the hello. welcome to the stream. i'm from the ok. the scale of of global climate emergency. so big that we're seeing climate change towards 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 session episode, we had joined by a former you and climate change. i'm guest when you the good news climate action show. like how, how is for the shows, today's christiana, for gabby's. she is a full my executive secretary of the u. m. framework. conventional climate change and is co founder of local opportunism and also co house. the outrage and optimism pop costs. i don't know how she has time to join us, but she, as i can do, is to be honest, thank you so much for being here. when i was thinking about how do we do climate
10:34 pm
actions back to and communicate that better? i always think about you because these calling to phrase which is stubborn. optimism to unpack that well the law screw. well, 1st of all, thank you very much for me for asking me to join you today. very exciting and you know, the message that you brought right at the beginning is so true. the fact is that we are happy, exponentially growling climate affects that are all very negative. and however, at the same time, we have exponentially growing encouraging initiatives that convey an excitement of the world. oh yeah, that not just a vert, 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 that me thank you so much for this program. i'm very excited because today we're
10:35 pm
going to bring just a few stories that are meant to boost your confidence in what is already taking place. an ricker your imagination for what can be. so send me, i do we have i'm, i'm so excited. just listening to you. hi, the show. all right, it's a christiana, then, what is the things that is reading pulled for us to do is for us to let you know that youtube is live, it is available right now. if you've got comments or questions, but christiana, you can put them into our comment section to be part of today's, just looking forward to a the all right, so can you imagine a world with no fossil fuels at 80? so to get that we need alternative forms of clean energy by k a co and is co founder of the green hydrogen production company could and not to walk into the streams. climate action, optimism episodes like say,
10:36 pm
is good to have the ice of products the most, the value is or money as them. they would want just to really quick and easy explanation for what green hydrogen is. i didn't have a surface before. can you tell us? nothing so much for having me today. it is a real pleasure to be able to tell you more about korean hydrogen at an after. so green hydrogen, as you just said, is an alternative fuel. it can replace our dirty molecules that we have to day, coal, oil, and gas. and how do you make green hydrogen? while you have a device called an electrolyzer? ours looks like a box. actually, it's about the 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 may create a hydrogen simple right? all you need to sign in water garcia to well, the exciting thing by data. so good to see. you again know we've been together um in the past,
10:37 pm
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 and wind directly producing energy out to the point where i think those what used to be called new renewable energy use out by now traditional renewable energy, so what i think is so exciting about what you're doing, my guess 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's 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 till 4 on breakable sectors. yeah, i mean, you put it, it's so well right before we had green electricity,
10:38 pm
but we need that this green fuel. and so now being able to scale green hydrogen means that we can do carbonized, those heavy, admitting industries like the transportation sector or steel cement, all these industrial 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 with that you'll have electrolyzer on site at the airport, and you will be producing green hydrogen refueling it and then it'll fly c o 2 free . and it's the same process, right? if you want to make green hydrogen for steel, for example, again, you make your hydrogen on side and then you'll use it directly. so some your, some use cases store the hydrogens some use of directly, but what it does essentially is that it is reducing our c o 2 emissions up. one of the things i love about you've, i tell you, is that you understand the technology and,
10:39 pm
and you'll able to explain the tag and break it down for people. the also a great storyteller, and it really is important that people understand well this kind of technology means of people down on the ground. so i know you bought some video with you. i'm going to show you this was out what is just the wrap up with. so this is a village in malaysia, and that to have partners with pest tech, which is the local energy company. and this is how this village has been transformed. take a look. the do i do that to you and i did it today. what time i did, so could you do it like i literally is on my side with the do the new with the visit and then to good as i say the day a month or to fund a lot of these things like it is like is for the board, but um, uh my, my school on the west has been such a pleasure, sharing your work without audience around the world we wish to and, and not to every success in the future. so christina, what i'm,
10:40 pm
i'm thinking about here is, what am i paying optimistic to reduce the carrot or do we use this take approach? i think it sometimes really is of this big approach where we're trying to make change happen. what do you think? yes, and sometimes the stick is necessary, isn't that? so one by jeff is just prove it is the importance of technology and pulling the technology of the future into the press, 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 upon me. and perhaps the most famous and most successful story, there is more or less $900.00 dutch citizens who brought a case against their own government. arguing that the government was not protecting
10:41 pm
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 that the supreme court forced the government to reduce 25 percent of emissions in a very short time. that has expired all other cases. yeah. across europe in canada, in new deal in columbia. and what it proves is that legal cases are also very powerful instruments, but it also shows and the power of people, these are $900.00 citizens, does normal citizens, okay. these are not famous people. these are 900 citizens that really concerned about the impact. so what do we know probably about grass roots movement. what do we know about community and the role that they play in climate action?
10:42 pm
that's so much more power than you know, you haven't to harness it before we move on. christina, i'm going to bring in one more voice and this is the voice of the dentist event buckle, who we spoke to a little bit earlier. he is a lawyer and he leads a group of lawyers to keep government accountable. ask you about the what me so we move on. the governments have promised us for decades that they will do what is necessary in order to prevent dangerous climate change. their action simply don't add up. there is a huge gap between what they say must be done, hold them for just below $1.00 degrees and what they're actually doing. and course provide a unique for him to scrutinize the statements of governments to scrutinize whether or what governments are saying with regard to their actions on climate change actually at all, and are sufficient in order to cumulatively protect this against all those dangers
10:43 pm
index. climate change when active as a much as with science is a very powerful formula, as we were about to find out about the tula oni is an of an epidemiologist. who leads the assistance between a campaign in nigeria gone to an south africa hello tale. so good to have you. i've told you i'm going to make it black. go blush. because when i 1st heard about you, i was of, she's by nomics. she's connecting, she's brands. how did you even move on 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. i'm getting citizens scientists to understand what's happening to the environment. a space for me, i could say to say anything about it, i say we what, what drives me is the fact that we have the youngest confidence globally cost with people on the, in confidence. 19 on. when we talk about health,
10:44 pm
we should be talking about ways to keep young people healthy. now, evolution is particularly something that i may be called in both is an important exposure, but it's important for health. but it's also very high food in terms of timing to action because we know and also be a nuisance. also, greenhouse gas is contributing global warming. so i thought i'd seen but you know, from a public health perspective, we understand the importance of public space and how to get people moving and the physical people they help. they also be at pollution risks. uninstalled with looking around and realizing what really measuring, measuring in the cities. at the same time, we saw this incredible passion and commitment to environmental justice and kind of the cities. and i feel what if we can get an homage with energy from the majority demographic. the confidence to be part of the solution because we can't change what we don't measure. so what we do is,
10:45 pm
is exactly that we're looking at the ways that we can emphasize the crucial role that young people kind of should play in designing and developing and shape it in the urban environment that we live in for both health and climate resilience. christiana, as well, what i love about those to love always thought that it is so important to humanize go. i've been global climate change. and honestly it's very difficult for people to understand that these feel possible fuels in mit gases that have a low bowl in. but it's much easier to understand that the very same fossil fuels also emit local pollutants that are affecting our lungs, especially in cities and you say. and so the health and climate overlap is so critical because it makes it so much more understandable. i totally loved that air quality really makes the pollution from fossil fuels. so immediate and i'm assuming
10:46 pm
totally, but please tell us that this has actually really energized young people. mothers who are concerned about the lungs of their children and more 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? i was really understanding you mentioned earlier about citizen science. so we had one of the be amazing aspects of this initiative. if we had young people that were, we were christmas republic selection and they designed running routes and they routed through the city with a policy monitor and with an attached 2 photos videos order showing sold to the full series of clean air. and they really rally for each of the run the, the rallies and recruited the past to run with them. and they use that opportunity to just share why it's so important to them. and one of the things that we did was
10:47 pm
then they, they looked at the data they collected, and they use that to design intervention. so it's amazing. they review the data collection of simple. what are the things that we seeing here in all 50 columns and quality differ? how did was policy and public space they fit within between cities and they use that to design an advocacy activism campaigns that way. they're in the run up to 2 cop $27.00. so they've been doing wrong again in the sixty's, in a crow labels and can't tell, but also beyond those cities. and on the 10th of november, which is um, when it comes to sending a document in egypt, the test results a new state. and it's a science the day. as of what we really want to do is push, i'm gonna invite everyone to join. this is to push the agenda to show the teen as really critical of the climate. i'm done. people play a critical role in designing and shaping feedback future for healthy product is an
10:48 pm
inspect, like an it's a starting for thank you so much for being on. i climb up to this and show you and both each what we were trying to do, what we're trying to get over, and we wish you every success with all of your campaigns, annual what thank you to loop. but as i say, thank you to to, i want to bring in another young climate activist from the founder of our lead climate action initiative. this is what she told us a few hours ago christiana, and i know you spend a lot of time with young club activist. what do you make of what a new k has to say? the last as punch in its last week? yes, the full climate occasions we do have some find out that why don't they don't know that a problem increase your cancer. so therefore, the approach to us that we and as you said, the kitchen and the kitchen people, young people, then expanding your rise the whole time is just these well, she's 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 to me is to
10:49 pm
educate young people and also not so young people about the reality of climate change, which includes 2 pillars. the threat 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 but also bring the opportunities. for example, we've just seen, you know, um the to total has just talked to us about air quality monitors. what would 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,
10:50 pm
the threats and the impacts. of course on i know you said a little bit a, you were talking to us about the pallets, the people have the power of community. and when i spoke to kiddos 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 kiddos has to say about that. who is we know that every single piece of major legislation that's passed in us history has been due to movement building. whether we're talking about the civil rights acts of the 50s, or sixties, or marriage quality. they would not have happened without people being in the streets, over the course of years, pressuring their politicians to do so. so we look at the recent kind of thought it's past the 1st one and us history. we know that's the worst of groups like sunrise movement, pressuring officials to deliver for them. as final segment today is about community and how it lies at the heart of time of action. in puerto rico is a community based organization, casso. pablo is transforming the central mounting castle,
10:51 pm
foreclose executive director arturo muscle data, joins us now. a tour. it is so great to have you because of what you do and what you're doing with the communities 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 worked, so when i think about the kind of programs that you would do, what then would you want to show that global audience, the one that's going to be loaded at mine. so they're going to tell their friends about some, all right us, we have to wait and grade the agenda, we had been protecting the lan fighting for water security and have doing that requires to confront that fossil fuel economy. ready in any 1999 wage, 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 the drum and
10:52 pm
a d security. we have our main installation costs up wherever though they've radius ration they transmission to our we built this solar cnn. uh we have been helping hundreds of houses that has chronic disease. people that requires energy, security for medical purposes. we have done the barber shop and, and the pharmacy and the bakery and the nature naida and all other places. looking for economic activation. and as we're moving forward, transforming our energy landscape where becoming a reference for local development. i think you need people thinking the main gauge main advocation and protecting our natural resources as well in a way that we are also better prepared to confront climate change him in, in the category in christiana way. no, i thought, oh, well, that kid was the going to say that that's a wonderful do to be here with you. what piece had to do that you didn't speak to
10:53 pm
that? i would love to invite you to is the resilience of renewable of renewable resources . how they are so much more and more resilience to the impacts of these amazing storms are not the caribbean. and so many of the other areas of the world are having and how, how please tell us, how long was ford's already go with out electricity except gossip? well, no, because you had solar is just such a fantastic story. a after year again, by the year the, you know, there's a, almost 4 months ended up in the urban areas. they've rudo communities, all of a one year without power. didn't seem to part of the island what, what was the of the poverty regions are located? it was the last 30 percent in which energy was, was restored. so building energy resilience a, we were able to reopen the gas up. well, no, they, they, after,
10:54 pm
and the consequences of the c. ricans are very bad. but the reality is, it is that the after math is what, what pres form is you re, can experience eat to a human disaster, a lot of failures from the public on private u b, b. and yet gossip way of love was producing power. we reopen, we became an energy ways these people came here to recharge their equipment. dialysis that we had paid up the respiratory machines, the radius station was on. we were able to deploy and respond rebound right away because we were energy energy secure. that's what we have been fighting for, not only for gas, up whatever though, but for the whole community and the different elements of our community to be also to also enjoy the benefits of producing power, clean energy at the point of consumption. and i'm so happy to see that there's
10:55 pm
older technologies all there is a all the options in the pipeline that will help strength configurations, like the ones we have been built in. united won't as a to i a so enjoy watching you because you have a so a swag about you is like when the rest for the rest of, for the week as a thing they came to us to help to help them. because we have the energy, we were able to help them. there's so much pride in what you're doing, congratulations. thank you for continuing to be a model for all of us watching around the up. i'm going to take a little bit of the, also a swag and take it through the rest of my wake up to a. thank you so much, really appreciate you. christiana, before we go on youtube, people are having a conversation about the climate crisis. it is always as debate, one of our viewers is asking, what about the point of no return or just stop them optimism say that we don't even use that phrase and we just get on a roll lastley's up as well. we don't know,
10:56 pm
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 purchased, a mazda 5 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 prizes. tennis scientists have been abundantly clear that we have to do that by 2030. so yes,
10:57 pm
there are many wonderful stories and we need to go exponential with them because we're getting very, very close to the deadline. alright, christie, on for gaps has been such a pleasure being your co house on the climate optimism show. i really appreciate you have a look here on my laptop is a 2 places i really want you to have a look at global optimism. look what christiana, i'd have teams of what they are doing, and also link rateable pop costs outraging opportunities and poke, cause it will keep you entertained and educate you and inspire you as well. thanks for watching today show. i'll see you next time. take everybody the, i'm sure you're part 2 question. what do
10:58 pm
you see? right, well, let me see if i can change or thank the good news for everybody has different thinking that's from from the space on the right. we want to do the best for children of this area. every time i see these kids just bring me right back and i couldn't control things. i just like those kids stuff. what do you think protected? well, maybe it's a pretty name for something free. putting yourself in a person's shoes so you can see from a different kind of can you boys much what sonic i talk to, but in hard to control anger, i put new head against the full screen and did a tell him that i'm angry at victory or stephen, this scholar for the children was thinking of, i'm thinking and that's why i was, are showing you here is coming over our heads from russian positions and
10:59 pm
a new crane positions have been standing about how they were directly targeted as they were trying to sleep. we see some of the residents come out of the building with that possessions in the suitcases by substantial safe anymore. what happens on that day is a will quite legion cross to lines and know that the level of destruction here just how fits the fighting has been in recent weeks, this russian or felts monastery has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries, african narratives from african perspectives. whatever has been done before, can be done even better as long as the human being is doing it. you can shoot document reese from an african filmmakers from mozambie and can you from i am from the i. so p team in east and central, giant middle choppers and can yeah,
11:00 pm
i like africa direct on. i'll just sierra the some people couldn't tell how the told stories allowed to 0. and this has been a true, let's say francis planning an attack on the presidential palace to free listed president mohammed buzzing early a chance president to met the qu, leaders in an effort to end the crisis. but the couple sort of flip plans with the social. so it's going to be disastrous for the people because me share is a country that relies heavily on its partnership with the international community that provide much support, especially when it comes to the 2nd financial year. so we secure a budget for this time with the financial aid from the european union, the world bank and i am f.
