everyone but. a lack of water is an equally dangerous. job keep his sleep will not sell so they can plant crops and find to meet. floods droughts climate change become the main driver of mass migration you can write any better if you want to and probably more difficult. for climate exodus starts september 5th on t.w. . welcome to global 3 cells and today we're off to siberia where global warming is causing permafrost to melt and scientists are trying to turn things around in kenya we meet teenage mothers determined to take control of their lives and build

a better future for themselves and their babies. first we take a look at the population problem just how many people are there on our planet and can it cope with us all. in the early 18 hundreds the global population hit the 1000000000 mark for the 1st time thanks to more efficient farming methods and greater access to food it grew quickly after that medical progress then pushed down mortality rates giving populations a further based in industrial countries birth rates have slowed down now it's mainly the populations of developing nations that continue to expand today there are well over 7000000000 of us. the neo natal ward in kabul. these tiny vulnerable infants represent the future of afghanistan. well the world needs the next

generation or does it. can our planet deal with a growing population does it have the resources to cope. what toll does it take on nature and the climate cities such as delhi and jakarta struggle with the fallout from overcrowding every day there are just too many people looking for work for food for somewhere to live our planet's human population is currently increasing by an average of $18000000.00 a year. says one of germany's leading population researchers since the 1990 s. he's been looking into the question of how many people can earth support yet. we live on a planet that has limitations. the resources required to guarantee people a livable life are finite whether we're talking about energy infrastructure roads

housing or health care at some point the global population will be so huge this will be a problem. it already is a problem in countries with rising birth rates. demographics researchers say that a country can only develop if the birth rate is low enough. harsh as it sounds children don't contribute to wealth creation that means having too many youngsters is an obstacle to progress yes 23 from thing that needs to be a falling birth right and a relatively high number of young adults reaching a working age and actually finding jobs often only then are we seeing progress. this development has already taken place in many countries which is why the worldwide birth rate has declined significantly since the 960 s. today women have an average 2.4 children in chad in mali the fertility rate has.

fall in but is still an average of around 6 children per woman but the highest fertility rate in the world is unusual where women have an average $7.00 children. chad mali and the share all belong to the same health zone a region that's arid in impoverished and has a rapidly expanding population. here outside new shares capital niamey people expect their children to provide for the family once they're able to the more children they have the greater the likelihood that at least one of them of find work and be able to support the family. of. john mark gravel leni works for the sun hell alliance and initiative promoting stability and development in the region he says population growth is one of the biggest problems currently facing africa. it's

a very very very very who challenge for in the nor yobbos there are knowledge. they don't understand so well number off children in the fund. the figures give cause for concern 4600000000 people currently live in asia but according to forecasts africa's population is have to grow by nearly 3000000000 by the year 2100 so when we say the global population is growing what we mean is essentially africa's population is growing. what can be done to put the brakes on population growth in the mid 1990 s. the fertility rate in ethiopia was 7 children per woman the authorities recognise the problem and invested heavily in awareness campaigns.

researchers agree that education is the solution young women need to know about contraception and make informed decisions about having children. recent years have seen the fertility rate in the country fall to 4 children per woman. is the route to. approach. of. target for those in. power and with great women who are better educated have more opportunities and more money they have a better status in society and they're better able to assert themselves in their relationships. partners often want more children than very to fall. in developing nations 43 percent of pregnancies are believed to be unwanted the figure is especially high in places where women have fewer rights where they're unaware of

or can't afford access to contraception family planning is often determined by men . however according to un projections global population growth will not continue to rise indefinitely by the turn of the next century it's expected to level off or even decline. teenage pregnancy is a key theme particularly in africa where nearly a 5th of all girls become mothers before they turn 19 that's almost double the global average typically young pregnant women and mothers that end up excluded from education entirely but job prospects are vital for these girls to give them the independence they need to care for themselves and their children. what of 1st rounds looks like a childcare facility is actually

a training center for teenage mothers. vivian is learning to be a seamstress she got pregnant at 16 and dropped out of school now that she's learning new skills the future looks much brighter says the news and. becoming a seamstress will enable me to change my life until now i was just being at home with my baby and now i have something to do and i get to use my brain. libyan's daughter abigail has a painful skin condition. becoming a mother as a teenager is hard enough and harder still if the child is sick young women can struggle to cope. since need it since i had my baby life has been very hard i'm no longer a child my parents want nothing more to do with me everything changed when i got pregnant a baby is so demanding. my thore is an impoverished area in nairobi where problems

like unemployment drug and alcohol abuse and prostitution are widespread. unwanted pregnancies are commonplace here. the training center for teenage mothers hosts a group session every day that young women who have a place here can consider themselves very lucky there's a long waiting list. the center is run by on or cheating. sex education isn't on the curriculum and most kenyan schools contraception is a taboo topic and abortion is illegal teenage pregnancies are on the rise. some of them are trafficked. are there still that little bit to do but when they come. to housing. so you find in between the law you. know what it took.

to the families when living with them so you'll find that there are so many in the process of trying to get their new instance and so that is they get into sexual acts with. the young mothers are penniless. if the charity organization provides them with clothes and also with regular meals including for their children . marry 10 is reluctant to talk in detail about what happened to which. there were many problems poverty. if we've had money i wouldn't be here and i'd never have met my child's father i wouldn't have gotten pregnant when it happened because of poverty. her own mother it turns out she never told her about the facts of life. so not when. she was never there

she'd come home late at night often drunk. she never had any time for me but i'm a tame. fish from the age of 10 mary had to look after her younger brothers and sisters after falling pregnant she had to drop out of school. then a friend told her she could train as a hairdresser at the center of that wasn't her dream job but it's an opportunity denied to most teenage mothers. push me came here. when i began the training scheme i realised that many other girls were in the same boat. and that having a baby wasn't the end of the world so when i came back from it with. it. today vivian unger susan hasa take her daughter to the hospital. the young mothers can have their babies treated here for free. abigail isn't doing well

and that's what. the nutritionist asks maybe and if she's sticking to the diet she drug commended for abigail last time. an actual bit of. the truth of the talk has more data to tell you to show. who she is so bad because she's a natural. and they give. her life into my athlete is a challenging task because of course she was very emotional but i had to give always of what she needed so that's because of course if she's emotional instability the rules of good sense of happiness in the mom. kind of. young mothers mary and baby and often spend their free time together if they have to grow up fast. but both still have the hopes and dreams that i do school making my doing. to finish me costs. job. and maybe

go up to school to finish with the question i would like to be an anchor when big and they know that it's worth it well what makes me happy. my pain makes me happy. i'm glad i didn't have an abortion. if i hadn't had my baby i wouldn't be who i am today and i'm glad of that. so one influential to me either of the young mothers expects to marry anytime soon but they're confident they can get by without a man and give their children a better start in life than day out. the expanding global population is straining our planet's resources the carbon dioxide levels are on the rise as are temperatures the ground is warming up permafrost areas which make up around 15 percent of the earth's surface are also feeling the

heat the layers of ice and rock contain the remains of organisms trapped in the millions of years ago which decay when they're exposed releasing greenhouse gases in siberia the permafrost has already started to melt. 240 kilometers north of the arctic circle this corner of north eastern siberia boasts a surprising amount of vegetation in the summer but it's not pristine nature untouched by human hands. off takes us along on a motor boat trip on the cold lima river which is only free of ice for a few months a year. our journey is interrupted by a sandbank surgery a regional director of the renowned russian academy of sciences has to get out and give the boat a push our camera man has to temporarily take the helm. more than 4 hours after

setting off we reach these icy cliffs. and their dripping siberia's permafrost is melting. as microbes sleep if just for 50 solvent years now say wake up they here's a start. but the u.s. smile. you don't understand the regime beginning to sink in the process turning carbon into carbon dioxide there are so many of them in the area we're monitoring that europe's climate would become unbearable if they all thought out well you know . the permafrost under a quarter of the northern hemisphere plays a pivotal role playing global climate there's twice as much carbon trapped in it as there is in the entire atmosphere recent studies show the frozen soil is now releasing greenhouse gases at

a faster rate than previously thought and have also revealed that the arctic grasslands were once home to large mammals within minutes sergey collects a range of bones from ancient bison horses and what we mammoths. wherever people settle wildlife disappears. russia still has large areas of untouched learns our job is wherever possible to restore the natural diversity that our forebears one saw the. symbolism of as a scientist who wants to see his ideas put into practice to that aim 20 years ago he began reviving the eco system of the last ice age together with his son nikita he's removed trees and replanted primeval grasslands and their place they've also reintroduced herds of yaks and bison some are wilder than others the herbivores that now live here in the plasticine park have a big job ahead of them slowing down climate change. there you go what is it that

we do have to look at we live in december there's a thick layer of snow that insulates the ground from the cold side of couple as they forage for grass the horses tread down on the snow and make it more compact when you're out as a result of permafrost stays frozen and doesn't melt in the summer so why don't you use a shirt so. temperatures during arctic summers can reach 40 degrees celsius but our feet remain cold due to the permafrost directly beneath this meadow and there's the mom said the ground and their ice age park is already staying colder for longer the experiment has also piqued the interest of researchers from germany's max planck institute they've come to examine the reconfigured eco system and measure the quantities of environmentally harmful gases circulating in the area begin if analysis can see it effecting a far more active exchange with the atmosphere but also

a greater enrichment of carbon in the soil due to more photosynthesis and the more active types of grass growing here and ducks and. puts it in more dramatic terms he sees his park as a battleground between a new eco system and an old one that's not equal to the challenge of climate change the arctic region is warming up twice as fast as the rest of the planet. the landscape is changing. bubbling up to the surface of the lakes created by the melting permafrost is me thing a greenhouse gas 20 times more powerful than c o 2 if successful sergei believes his experiment will benefit the entire world. by you know what you mean you're christians aren't afraid of temperatures rising they'll say we're looking ahead and making preparations. for the emphasis has to come from the europeans from the americans north africans and asians from the countries that are already feeling the negative effects of global warming yes. this is no they

can't see the permafrost all on their own but they're determined to show that it's possible there are you sage experiment needs a lot of support on the ground. the objective is not thomas eco system with all that this entails. yes and we're in the and i'll introduce a lion or tiger here and tell them this is your park now that's a joke but it would be great for the system to settle down and become resistant and expand naturally beyond our current borders here when i thought it was some. if modern technology can bring back the extinct species. can even imagine mammoths walking around yet to show one day. i don't want to leave behind a desolate landscape to my grandchildren and great grandchildren only mosquitoes feel at home i prefer the species rich world of our ancestors. it's the kind of

nature that kept the climate stable and provided nourishment for humans. involved has often been accused of trying to play god he disagrees completely and says to the contrary he's just trying to make up for the destruction that humankind began thousands of years ago. this week in global ideas we had to armenia and find out how companies that are adopting new habits to help save resources reporter cloudy and travel to the capital gareth and to meet the people who are helping initiate the change and found out how essential it is to give people a taste for climate protection. obviously in the countryside. and western affluence in the capital yerevan armenia is

a country marked by stark contrast awareness and nor leech are seen. until 90 or $91.00 i mean it was a part of the fullness soviet union after the collapse of communism the country fell into an economic crisis and still hasn't fully recovered small and mid-sized companies struggle. so environmental protection has to yield profits. just that this is still a serious 2014 hour new waste water recycling unit has saved just over 100000 euros that all. companies here have rarely put much thought into environmentally friendly production but things are starting to change. it appears on the market thank you so if we reorganize our production successfully then it also makes good business sense for good. armenia's economy is largely dominated by agriculture cereals fruit and vegetables other main crops like here at

the 1st of mt ararat with some 3000 hours of sunshine a year peaches apricot some plums grow in abundance. on her. own. this fruit found i turned his harvests into dried fruit he switched to organic production and no longer uses chemical fertilizers and pesticides. that go to the local environmental n.g.o.s help to make the switch financial support comes from the international climate initiative the organization advises companies about sustainable practices. their fruit farm is ovens and now solar powered and have more efficient ventilation the fruit drying process is now 5 times faster saving energy and cost. i'll spawn

a minute. production in armenia and our region isn't big enough to compete with neighboring countries such as iran or turkey since armenia is a small country that needs competitive products fruits and dried fruits are among those products for that are the dried fruit now has an e.u. organic set of. cation and these days also sells in fronts he either role models with without any doubt it's also about the person when he starts some think here one of finalize it and finish it with a good result. many armenian businesses would like to get their foot in the door of european markets but before that can happen they need to improve production standards and boost their environmental credentials. industry accounts for just 25 percent of armenia's g.d.p. today noon to her a genuine is visiting battery factory on the outskirts of yerevan by products of

the production process itself pyrrhic acid and lead used to end up in the factories wastewater that the company has now found a clean a solution not many people are necessarily analyzing or viewing the process because business person looks on his benefits how here as the business and it's not necessary that you know almost all the details on the impact on the environment. the car batteries it cooled before they're charged the factory now uses technology that cleans the cooling water after the charging process so it can be recycled along with the rest of the waste water. some 2000000 euro news were invested in the new facility. will reduce the bifocal least of all of us for good so sweet water ended up in the sewage system. so we need a closed system so. since the water didn't leave the factory the system would

sit with this way we're safe huge amounts of water that go on limits by for joe so makes economic sense. but also so. the lead is partly recycled and waste lead remelted so there's a saving of over 500 years of material petang it's a more efficient use of resources. meanwhile in this bakery left over pastry is no longer simply thrown away. it's turned into biscuits. sometimes the solutions are simple. any bread that isn't sold is turned into bread crumbs a number of the ngos ideas and the breadcrumbs have proved the best santa's. sleigh
