7:33 am
of next, i'm counting the costs. the threats to global food supplies are piling up. put that push price is higher for low, put the costs by opec plus appear to be finally having an impact on markets. plus cubic turns to old. i like russia, that is, it's economic crisis. counting the cost on al jazeera, the hello, welcome to the stream. i'm from the ok, the scale of our global climate emergency, so big that we're seeing climate change, toys making headlines every day. but there's also much news about remarkable creative climate action happening around the world to inspire and encourage us. so in today's session episode, we have joined by a full my, you and climate chief. i'm guest when you the good news climate action show. like how, how is for the shows the days christiana forgot is. she is a full, my executive secretary of the un frame,
7:34 am
but conventional climate change and is co founder of local opportunities. and i'm also kind of house the outrage and opportunities in pop costs. i don't know how he has time to join as busy as i can do, because to be honest, i see so much of being here. when i was thinking about how do we do climate actions back to and communicate that better. i always think about you because these coined a phrase which is stubborn optimism the past 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 having 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's not just a vert,
7:35 am
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 tell 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. an ricker your imagination for what can be. so send me i do we have yeah, i'm, i'm so excited. just listening to hear the show. all right. it's a christie on a. then what does the things is reading pulled for us to do is for us to let you know, the youtube is live, it is available right now. he got comments or questions for christie on. you can put them into our comment section will be part of today's show, looking forward to a all
7:36 am
right, so can you imagine a world with no fossil fuels that 80? so to get that, we need alternative forms of clean energy by tie a cohen is co founder of the green hydrogen production company called in that to walk into the scenes climate action is an episode by say, as i get to have the ice of products for most of of us or many of 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? now thanks so much for having me today. it is a real pleasure to be able to tell you more about create hydrogen at an after. so create 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, while 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 2. 0, it's a hydrogen and oxygen,
7:37 am
and that's how you make green hydrogen. simple. right. all you need to sign in water christiana, to well, the exciting thing by data. so good to see. you again, know we've been together um in the past, so good to see you, i guess. 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 are 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
7:38 am
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 so well, right before we had green electricity, but we need that this green fuel. and so now being able to scale green hydrogen means that we can do carbonized, those heavy emitting 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 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 green hydrogen for steel, for example, again, you make your hydrogen on site and then you'll use it directly. so some use some
7:39 am
use cases store the hydrogen, some use a 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, 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 gonna 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 pests tech, which is the local energy company. and this is how vista phillips has been transformed. take a look at the do i do that to you and i did it today. but some of us will get you through to who i literally is on the bus on the do the visit and then to good as i see the day a must have the fun. a lot of these things like it is i as for the board, but um,
7:40 am
uh, but my day of 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 christiana, what i'm, i'm thinking about here is, what am i paying up to mistake 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 sticker is necessary, isn't that? so one by japanese, 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,
7:41 am
as you have mentioned enough to 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 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 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 bend the power of people. these are 900
7:42 am
citizens does normal citizens, okay, these are not famous people. these are $900.00 citizens that would be concerned about the impact. so what do we know about grass roots movements? what do we know about community and the role that they play in climate action? that's so much more power than you know you have into honda set up 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 royce to keep government accountable. let's hear about that. what do we move on? the governments have promised us for decades that they will do what is necessary in order to prevent dangerous climate change. the 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
7:43 am
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 add up and are sufficient in order to cumulatively protect this against all those dangers and backs. climate change when active as a much as with science is a very powerful formula, as we were about to find out the opportunity not only is an of an epidemiologist who leads the assistance between a campaign in nigeria gone to an south africa hello tale. so get to have you, i've told you i'm going to make a 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
7:44 am
to the environment. a space for me, i could say the same thing about you, say we what, what drives me is the fact that we have the youngest confidence. clearly hall with people on the continent and 19 on. when we talk about health, we should be talking about ways to keep young people healthy. now, evolution is particularly something, but it makes me be called in boast is an important exposure, but it's important for health. but it's also very, you know, hiring food in terms of timing to action because we know and also be a nuisance. oh, so greenhouse gas is contributing type of holding. so i thought i've 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 in health. they also be at pollution risks. uninstalled, 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
7:45 am
the cities and i for 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 started to measure. so what we do is, is exactly that we're looking at the ways that we can emphasize the crucial role for young people, count on, should play in designing and developing and shape it in the urban environments that we live in for both health and climate resilience. christiana, as well, what i love about this tool of 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 fossil fuels in mit gases that have a low ball in. but it's much easier to understand that the very same fossil fuels also emit local pollutants that are affecting our months, especially in cities and you say. and so the health and climate overlap is so
7:46 am
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 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? it was really understand he mentioned earlier about citizen science that 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 design running routes and they ran it through the fifty's with a policy monitors and with an attached 2 photos videos order showing sold to the
7:47 am
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 then they, they looked at the data they collected. and they use that to design intervention so that they may review the data collection of simple one of the things that we're seeing here in all 50 columns and quality differ. how does this quality of public space be fish within between cities? and they use that to design and advocacy and activism campaigns that we're doing in the run up to, to couple 27. so they've been doing wrong, but again, in the sixty's, in a crow amigos and can't tell. but also beyond those cities, i'm on the 10th of november, which is um, when it comes to sending a document in egypt, the 10th of november is also a new state and its a science the day. and so what we really want to do is push,
7:48 am
i'm gonna invite everyone to join. this is to push the agenda to show that it's really critical to the climate. i'm down, people play a critical role in designing a shaping, changing that future for healthy product as an inspect, like as a starting for thank you so much for being on. i climb up to this and show you. and so that is 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 spent a lot of time is young club activist. what do you make of what a new k has to say? the last as punch in its last week. he has the full climate that occasions we get to find out. that was the, don't know that a problem and you can't solve it. so therefore the approach to us that we and as you said, the kitchen and the kitchen, people,
7:49 am
young people then expanding your rise on full time is just these well, she's so right. educating people is so important, it's because it's the only way that we're going to get mobilization. now i think the difficulty around about 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 but also bring the opportunities. for example, we've just seen, you know, i'm not a total has just talked to us about error quality monitors. what would happen if we have air quality monitors on every single cell phone in the world. we would have
7:50 am
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. of course on i know you said a little bit of a, you were talking to us about the pallets. the people have the power of community. and when i spoke to kid 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 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 equality. they would not have happened without people being in the streets over the course of years, pressuring politicians do so. so we look at the recent kind of thoughts past the 1st one and us history. we have, as the worth of groups like size move,
7:51 am
met 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, pablo's 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 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 will do, what you want to show like like what is the one that's going to blow that mind? so they're going to tell the friends about them. all right? as we have to eat and grade the agenda, we had been protecting the land fighting for water security and have doing that requires to confront that fossil fuel economy. any 1999 wage, stablish,
7:52 am
our 1st solar system and a d. i to democratize energy generation at the point of consumption in which people can benefit directly for the drum and a d security. we have our main installation gas 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 very cool purposes. we have done the barber shop and, and the pharmacy and the bakery and the nature need and all of their 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
7:53 am
a way that we are also better prepared to confront climate change him in, in that category, in christiana, where no, i thought, or that kid was the fact that it's 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 renewable a renewable resources. how they are so much risk, 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 puerto rico with out electricity except gossip? well, no, because you had solar is just such a fantastic story. after year again by the year emanuel, this is 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
7:54 am
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, 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 did up the respiratory machines. the radio station was on. we were able to deployed and respond rebound right away because we were energy energy secure. that's what we have been fighting for, not only for gas,
7:55 am
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 older technologies all there is a all the options in the pipeline that will help strength configurations like the ones we have been building in. i don't want this to. i 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 world up. i'm going to take a little bit of fuel. so let's 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,
7:56 am
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. 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, multiplied 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
7:57 am
a decreasing trend of greenhouse gas emissions and thereby of are the worst of the climate prizes. tennis 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're getting very, very close to the deadline. alright. christie on for campus 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, on her teams of what they are doing, and also link rateable pop costs outraging opportunities and poke cost. 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
7:58 am
of the in depth analysis of the day sidelines the care motivation for, for goes and was the preservation of wagner as its own entity. and not being some students by the state. inside story on al jazeera, in 1958 charles to go made a famous speech in algeria. but take a don't hold back. the tide about jerry and independence. keep francis companies in
