the african continents. in a new 4 part series, alger 0 explores how for nations are rising to the biggest challenges, as they say is critical, societal and economic issues for cause new directions coming soon on out as they are on the and the when i was working in oxford, which bob attends in my career, was really a pinnacle movements. my mother was very proud and she was like, but you know, what do you think you can do both in 10?

20 is how is it going to help anybody to improve the lives of the people that lives in philly. it's a wonderful time for me because i have seen the other side of what i can imagine in the bar 3. and what is even more exciting is that i'm seeing a applied research on africa just something i couldn't even imagine is when i was trying to find somebody the my name is sheila todd. what's your budget? i was born in nigeria. i studied medical by chemistry and then went on to do a ph. d, and plunge by chemistry. i did some post of troll. well,

i've been upset at the institute of viral a g at environmental micro biology. i specialized on the system called the back to the virus expression system, which is the methodology that you use to genetically modified virus. the by time i went to university, i felt really bad for the well. and then i realized how so i wasn't quite as red as i felt gender dynamics. i didn't understand it. and i'm 18 years old. i mean, the university, the idea that people had that women couldn't do things was shown to me because i've never actually been in an environment where people just thought as a woman, you're less than, i mean, just didn't make any sense to me. the

and i've tried married and had children. i really was interested in going back to science because it was just too difficult. i was fortunate that my ex husband actually had studied women in development. and he said, do you know the statistics? number one, the women who get to do get any like any women in the u. k is like festival at that time it's like it's 6 percent. the do catch the male or female of the population. i'm over at how many of them a women it's less than half. it's probably like 10 percent. oh that how many of them african you'd actually have to go back i realize that i wanted to do more in community. what so right now i'm working a lot with the u. n. environment and environmental work with different agencies of

the big sign to fit a topical hot e roll. my time is climate change, climate change and higher to fix us in so many ways the in africa, the disclose. the conversation is around adapting to climate change. african countries and developing countries basically, and not the course of climate change per se. but the other one suffering the most from the impact. so how the conversation in climate changes is developed, countries must mitigate reduce the emissions on african companies must adapt the so we think climate change and number of scientific lines of inquiry. but i would say in

terms of what we're interested in, in some of the ranges that we've worked through, it's to do with climate change and health climate change as cause malaria, epidemics, the most prevalent larry of color, all of these things that have to do with the co system changing. so now you're looking at how climate change is affecting the disease of disease outbreaks and how now the system can adapt back to you soon as we did you clean for the western region of can you because it's for those like victoria and the lake is very important because it boat is uganda, tenzing yang, kenya. and all of those communities living around the living of the resources of the lake and the lake is being rapidly degraded. so getting communities to

understand how they will impacting each other is an important part of the work we're doing in getting people to understand what ecosystems are. and also what they can do to restore that this is a smaller now it's at that the other one is big enough. and then people usually like they just fried how much they key live. we particularly decided to work with women because we understand how women very quickly see the big picture of the what and they position in community. but in the big of frame, how do we get women who uh, farming a different parts of the lake to understand um how pesticides can run off into the lake and affect the livelihoods of women on the other side, split fishing? how do we connect these groups to begin to understand the impact and how do we then

connect the factories that uh, polluting the link to understand what a devastating impact is to the community that they are living in. so everybody that's working around that has an impact and has a responsibility the issue of the facility is a county that adopted me when i came back to kenya in 20142015. so it's

account to that. i feel very close to. i'm very personally invested in the future if you soon i right. so one of the projects that was involved in working on and going to increasingly protell results as in energy is the highest and project in to see how it's important that communities understand the science that affects them. and so when we look at communities like you see me, which is very much impacted by a pest on the lake, when communities, i'm not empowered to help to understand that system, they can't make decisions. well, i said we're here to come on your side. yeah god, what do you do before? do you need to my, to me and as i said, what does he like to do in the a room lock? it will come on. are you doing well, it will be the one that i'm,

i knew that out loud and as i do, you will be going to solve you'll, you'll be getting the use. you're the one in the room will come on model the model and i was born in a place like this in nigeria and i studied finds because when i was growing up as a child, i was very interested in sex. i would play by the river. so i was curious about the natural well, so i ended up studying science and i became a scientist. then one day i came back to my mother and i say to her, oh look, i'm in a magazine. see me. this is my was talking about the what's the time doing i, she said this coach, my daughter does good box. how is this work that you are doing here? going to relate to the people back home. so she asked me that question. i didn't

have an answer or what is it that we can do to transform the lives of women? and we're looking at everything. the 16 health agriculture, all the different sectors. what kind of science can we bring to make a difference to the lives of everyone interested in? we have to bring anything we have learned from any way i'm planted where we can have be fixed and we people that we love. so as we move, we must all move to get into a better future because that is what you want for ourselves and our children. and by god's grace, by the time we reach 2030, they will see a different assuming they scan. yes, doctors are pressed. this really touches my heart, working with women across the lake, who harvest the what the heisen because the what's that i was doing from ph. d on

was looking at the past. we are looking at how to help people manage pests better, so that they can enhance their livelihood as there was a lot of what to us into here. mm hm. but um, because it has a a suckle, the moment you start seeing longer us um, coming out of it. did you know if the life cycle is coming to me? and so that is the time it disappears. it sinks to the bottom of the, of the water. i'd really no time again, it's, it does come on the auto body. what the women were able to do here is to understand that although it's a pass, they can harvest it in the same way as they have, as some of the pirates and all the of us resources that they can use it to make products on over time. they've begun to make more more sophisticated products and they've begun to open up the market for high in the

i can see this growing as the machinery too much bigger projects come up. it starts with the women going out on to the late getting the highest raising interest rate and very manually developing the risk that gets made into the product. wow. so when i have to, to get involved with the will to high since projects and began to see what they were doing, you know, the weather came to me. it was like, wow, just moving from pest to profit. really it's, it's just a very simple trajectory. when we went into the community, it's up to the women they had formed into a collective which had a name in lieu a, which was way 5 to me away policy. that was the name of the group. now this time

when we went to the us and the name of the group, they said no, we're now the women who live under the shade. and honestly, i need he cried because that really shows the transformation of that community. they mean named themselves. so it like you no longer chasing poverty, we have a livelihood. when living under the shade, we no longer suffering from the caution is belie environments. we figured out how to make this and this is who we now. and that was the most efficient and the so on the 8th of march international women's day, we formerly launched now way the net worth of african women environmental this to showcase african women environments list of all different levels and how they can

be brought to help the ecosystems restoration agenda. it's under the new world. yeah. and the other majors are wasting. all right, so we go and meet them. yes. let me just put this here and then we'll get brilliant score williams. let's, let's just grab that. all right, and then let's go all the big my them she now welcome. thank you. thank. yes, this is exciting. i need to introduce you. so this is the issue naturally is the head of a africa office here, a human environment. and um, this is miss ridge who is meeting our energy work on the african continent. and janet, who is the head of our agenda program here and the launcher. yes, yes, she was at the launch of now indeed, it just happened that on the 1st of march,

the united nations sort of the governmental those salvador put together a resolution which was passed on the 1st of march for the you when decade on the system restoration yeah, and we know how much land on this continent is degraded, you know, how many women suffering. so this decade is now 2021 through 2030, the last 10 years of the sustainable development goals. what are the things we found in the environmental governance is that women are not at the decision making table. we might say that women are the ones who are in touch with the environment because of the work they do in a daily basis. but in terms of decision making, the i'm up there, it's important because they feel the front of the decision, the 5 minutes, this is going down in the context of one of the areas of focusing on was an energy waste of climate change. i mean, the same story every way, i think in the face between policy and science is fundamental. yeah. for us as a c a. and this is precisely what something that we use. yeah. exactly. and,

and i think for, for us, part of all, thinking around the network and african women environments. and this was what we've just discussed, looking at the political elements to which i think was so important. and also looking at the realities. what is the reality in women's lives? it's going to take off doing more and it has to reach the connection has to go all the way to the ground. we have to see the impact. and so, but she has been able to mediate the steps of bringing you wonderful ladies on board because she has been a champion for it and to get women that are truly committed to it because it's different for having women to just have position with women that have hot in it, and i have good news for nowhere, eunice, who told me that they have money for we have to pay more to him at scientists. wow . see that program? so i think this week that's our last meeting. this is just,

this is the so much the society comes together in the governance system and then the science is one aspect of it. you see it beautifully in climate change because you look at the climate change agreements or not and how's countries agree to reduce emissions? hopefully the science tells you that this is impacting our environment and negative ways that is causing is that the bait and climate change. hopefully that makes the political decision make us take the full we will close this factories. therefore we will do this differently. but the trigger, the initiated the propeller is the political will at the top. so of the best size of the well miss, those a lot of it is left on the shelf because it's not the political will. and even in

something like climate change, as we have see, lots of political will could mean we use this back on the i want to become a transformative scientist. says that everything that i apply myself to things about the transformation, an impact that is visible. and in my lifetime, by bringing women around the particular landscapes and ecosystems together, how do we then improve that landscape and restore it? a lot of um, funds and lands in real africa, i've left because young people don't want to buy lots. they don't want to farm they, it's no longer cool. the profit so low, they want to get to the city in the back to life. so you're finding a lot of degraded line because nobody's tending to it. we are looking at what

kinds of farming opportunities are they for young people that are attractive that uh the profit margins are high. that can be done somewhat remotely in that united just as not high intensive farming, doesn't need machinery and is they'll get makes so one of the crops that is doing very well is cheer. wow, this is an incredible. yeah, this is way tough. and the magic carpet it's, you know what i think. yeah. is festival. what i'm really excited about is that you have restored this landscape. that was just going to see and that this, not any of you restored the landscape so that it's productive so that you're not pushing the sewing and starting a whole new incredible. i think for a century business. yeah, it's amazing. sorry, just for the hosting. and then you don't know what it is,

the young people who left went to the city and the struggling because they noticed many opportunities as they imagine. now remembering the fathers and the mothers have lines to not far away in the rule areas. so number of that makes increasingly women beginning to hire local farmers to launch g a seats. and that's as much as she every single as well. and interestingly enough, in kenya, the profit margins are really high. okay. so just to cottage and yeah, that's the right. yeah. well, having fun. yeah, actually i've actually, i've been glad i was actually a really good the come every time we have the things we need to bring a group for women to have us and make something of it. yeah. so perhaps like a demonstration from yeah, bring them they have, as we said, we talk about what we can do,

restoring landscape. and this is how now we can begin to grow with the now we start talking about the yeah, the we are in the 1st generations that children have west opportunities in the now even with climate change, this thing you came here. you enjoyed yourself. you really in the planet you left us in las vegas. each generation is both inclusive. yes. we have this generation. the fashion that about the environment. right. so that's what i'm

saying. we are going to have like apple garda, around where you had the play. so you in front of me and then you can list the series, excuse me, the whole i wait until blunting awesome. what does it take to make a transformation? we can now measure it. if we could work hard to make sure many of those goals that empower women, empower children, come to be the picture that people having the heads of africa will transform. it's an amazing thing is that other countries have done it. okay? the within the generation, you can transform outcomes to take certain things. and i pray that i will be part of that and that my children who were born in the u. k. and come back will be able to say, wow, you know, i might just move traffic because it's really great. you know, it has many opportunities and it's got great web, a great people, great opportunities. i can build a life the

doing. i was 9 years old and i went to london and i went to primary school. i remember i was playing in the playground. i was being bullied because i look say to friends. and they would last set me in the, the, like the u. k. youth of africa, you live on trees, and i remember how shocked i was that they would that they would speak about the place that i loved. and that i missed so much that gave me all of my identity in such derogatory terms that they could not understand. the beauty, the power of the opportunities that i got from those 9 years. i'm that moment i said to myself in my head, when will be the day that i would have to make so many explanations?

because it to be office. how rich, how beautiful, how glorious and all of us on this planet. not just, i forgot the we just one sessions on this funding. just one. we happened to be the most to hold the solutions. 6 the kids. this time to somebody with that. we can destroy ourselves and have an interest over many candidates out there that i mean having to push the way the so that's a little s 2,

a significant have become an extraordinary arrogant in thinking that we met with just one species effect in successful be here when it's all going, let's be humble. let's begin to be back to students of gifts that we've been given the, the algae, 0 goose beneath the waves with a team of women determined to say that all friends share the same responsibility. we need to do something amazing on using a variety of scientific techniques to study their behavior. we can monitor them for their mobile photos and behavior. we're able to help their new environment when they mix science dolphin sanctuary on al jazeera

or the women of mexico's traditional rodeo or china, adf. teams of 8th show of their sportsmen shipping a series, coordinated high speed and often dangerous exercises. it's a lot about geometry and synchronization between one side and the other, creating mirror effects. and it isn't just a way for these women and girls to connect to their national heritage. it is also a family tradition. most of them come from a long line of charles, also a lifelong commitment, bringing together family tradition and national pride, well honoring the bravery of those who came before them. how can these democratic nations justify this kind of behaviors? collateral damage has collateral damage. that's why we all team is leading to what we're seeing that will allow me to push back for a moment is a new assistance, corporate israel, affecting it's global, standing from the impact of the us selections, the escalating conflict, and the me least of the urgency of climate action upfront sets the stage for
