but also for deeply to put it in the area in the corridor. we cannot look at one one area but are the areas it's one thing to. look forward looking for a solution it is simple i'm. trying to convince the donors and also. the funders to find. an awful new one to come out we did design. because you and sort of looking in myanmar in philippine we have done quite a lot of. areas so i think a lot of knowledge that we can we can share to get over the government of was a. mayor of. governance. parts of the region are below the sea level ready your background as town planning is the whole city city

in your view under threat in the future i was a mayor before for seventy s. in my city s.p.d. and almost the same criteria as bera my city was sixty percent below or area below sea level in my city in pinning militia in twenty seventeen but of course it's not so strong in a cycle and i think we come back and look for solution. for a better planning for a better resilient design building maybe an hour. after disasters we all do flood through an area we build and steal and then we look into the design of the building and reducing the local material and must be affordable to the. local people thirty a lot of things can be done but we cannot we have to face this. climate change and by doing some adaptation. of course you can relocate everybody out of

the area but we have to find ways to do at depth. of climate change by using technology and using the knowledge sometimes technology is an occult analogy simple in my cities look at an orgy because when we released it put on steel and then we designed who more resilient even the roof with these and. we studied a weed in the wind direction and for the last year because malaysia had monsoon. in november and december last year it was bringing. into modern day misuse very less so i think we improve year by year and in from the s.p.d.m. day we see thank you very much from climate change a sort of stay on the theme and go to togo now where one man has the workings of raise awareness about preserving natural resources and using them with maximum efficiency he has the story of santa and. he's initiative young volunteers for environment it's a pan african organization with representatives on the continent. these

performances celebrate the environment the dancers costumes are made out of cocoa sacks from the region the annual festival called the cultural biodiversity weaker c.b.w. has been held for fifteen years now. it's organized by environmental activists say now luka. in my language we say if you want to know me watch me dance and listen to me sing. with song and dance my people express their attachment to the land and their respect for biological diversity. the guests at the festival are also offered a range of local scene it's. the idea is to convince farmers in the area to grow native varieties. we have a great diversity of local seeds in our region and we promote them because they're

more adapted to our climate unfortunately the farmers use a lot of cheap imported seeds which are not adapted to our soil and don't produce good yields. the people here in south western togo live from agriculture farming grain kosov a rice coffee and cocoa. but the ground has been depleted of nutrients and many farmers now use pesticides and chemical fertilizers on their crops. we use pesticides on crops. like here with the young because of. otherwise the insects will destroy the leaves i need to use the pesticide at least three times for it to grow. the plants might grow faster but the pesticides pollute the ground water and the river say now luca remembers how much cleaner the environment used to be that's

what motivated him to become an activist. you see how this field reaches all the way to the river water so the river doesn't breathe anymore it can't grow bigger and can't play its natural role of climate regulator and the sediments don't nourish the ecosystem here. but it's not just about chemicals contaminating the water deforestation is another major environmental problem here. every day i see what's going on i have observed as a lation illegal logging. some trees that are more than one hundred years old with great value for my people of being caught or disappearing and sometimes being sold for next to nothing. see no luca wants to boost young people's awareness that's why he plants trees with children and the c.b.w. festivities. and that. we learned

how to plant trees because we need them to live in our environment that's where the forest is important because it gives us life rain fruits and trees. and there's support from the villagers in the evening older people talk to the younger generation to encourage them to care for the environment which went on to be i'm very happy to take part in these meetings for example i learned today that in the past they didn't use any fertilizer and they still succeeded in having a great harvest by leaving the fields follow and i learned how to protect the forest of life but what if you don't feel it. at the end of the week long festival the children perform a play. or two sons talk to their father about deforestation and climate change. the cultural biodiversity we give them a chance to practice what will hopefully become

a lifelong role that of protectors of the environment. and that is that when alpha is africa you can as always catch our stories on our website on facebook page you can talk to me on twitter at le seven i found out. enter the conflict zone fronting the powerful. the north atlantic treaty organization nato has just started seventieth birthday but it wasn't a happy one i guess this week here as nato headquarters is rose gottemoeller the organization whose deputy secretary general who is she now acknowledged the great show as serious splits in its unity conflicts.

me no talking helplessly as the flames friend. ravaging doctrine down. for me it's a symbol of paris many feel sad and shocked. that i love no town tonight everyone went away to. easy to miracle the cathedral is still standing. in sixty minutes long t w. t t you know that seventy seven percent clapping are younger than six o'clock. that's me and me and you. and you know what it's time off for since i was on the seventy seven percent talk about the issue stuff.
