[000:00:00;00] listen . listen. live. life itself arose for barter it's where the essential building blocks were formed over millennia it took powers a few years for aquatic animals and plants to make the transition on to them look at today's goods. from the freedom ring dinosaurs and now they're forced to make

a. city adapt to the changing environment has been the route to survival but the speed of climate disruption is outstripped the capacity of many species to adapt hello welcome to eco india i'm coming to you from mumbai in india making a head start in the direction of adapting to the changing climate is the down of in the south indian state of it has set itself the ambitious deadline of becoming india's 1st carbon neutral town by 2020 we travel to me to take a look at how far the fuck. loves his evening stroll around his coffee plantation you're gonna cheat guru buster coffee grows is a speciality in the sudden students do you know this is very robust we can't the

number of masters on each branch. but but so are you for the best coffee harvest there should be turkey nobody's clusters on each. least not deficient in the queen don't ask me no that is special it isn't the word you. becoming the 1st carbon neutral certified coffee plantation in india but that involves more than just the plantation the town had set itself an ambitious 21st century goal. it got out as the world confronts global warming and climate issues we have started a carbon neutral program people tend to think of development in terms of infrastructural development like building roads bridges and airports we will include the environment. since 2016 minutes that he has become something of a climate science lab the local government here is working with

a vital interest groups to figure out how the town's net carbon footprint can be brought down to 0. this is significant for india a country that is the world's 4th largest wind house gasometer. when the project began many of the 34000 residents of me not that he didn't know what global warming even meant. but did you know that things were changing. all been affected by climate change weather patterns environment are not what they used to be my analogy used to have a natural a ceiling but now we can't sleep without using electric air conditioning. but that the thought is. the emissions produced by transport households and industries in the town are already being partially offset by biodiverse forests

that surround me. that was revealed by a detailed study conducted to determine the town's footprint at the time. the study concluded that an additional $15000.00 tons of c o 2 needed to be put back into the ground each year for the town to attain net 0 emissions of carbon neutral status. volunteers and workers began to reforest the area. they hope to do their best to buffer the average temperature rise of between 2 and 4.5 degrees celsius that is predicted for the region by 2050. 4 meena getting such a rise would cause rice production to fall and devastate heat sensitive crops like garden and coffee. fit the study found there were the improvements the town could make for example waste

management. today the workers from heat that there must be no green i mean show that household waste is separated at source they go door to door to collect plastic and other recyclable waste and bring it to a resource recovery center set up under the carbon neutral program. here the further process and separate it according to categories. group sunni manages a facility with it staff of 32 workers. and is delighted with the way things are going. people carry their own bags now when they go grocery shopping they have stopped using plastic sold in stores so plastic consumption in households has dramatically decreased it has decreased in my own how

metro before this happened plastic bags were rampantly used by shopkeepers but that has gone down now most of the people i mean agree have changed their ways a lot. on that and what they did my thing on that end. but even before the carbon neutral movement began here a new kamar the headmaster of a local school had begun working with his students to offset shield 2 emissions. after. 90 percent of the children studying here belong to local tribal communities most of them belong to the lowest economic groups but they are the most sensitive to the environment. where nowadays. they don't need any lessons on how to plant and nurture trees and shrubs as they get ample knowledge of that from their own homes and villages other than merely school and the scene of it. together the cultivated bamboo plantations at the

school as a valuable sink for carbon storage in this region bamboo has the potential to affect up to 400 tons of c o 2 equivalents but hector. program . students transform the plantation into a biodiversity park by planting. along with plants. all these programs are implemented properly then we might just be able to achieve this ambitious objective the hope that the number of new trees that we have planted will be enough to sequester the actual scarred by. often carbon neutrality is a good that can never be completely achieved but even getting the community

together is a success in itself. certainly as a model for many cities in india. reducing the carbon footprint requires commitment and effort from each one of us to stop we have ever solid. analyze the problem and measure the impact it has several web platform city parks that was the aim of the online call which hundreds of people in berlin followed the clean up call was based on data collected by volunteers who had discovered many polluted places in the german capital plan a supported the call the startups focus is environmental protection. climate change is not one problem climate change. lot of problems that are intertwined and our data approach helps us actually untangle this complexity we use the data to pinpoint exactly the locations and the types of issues that happen

around the world that need to be immediately added on to. the berlin based startup analyzes data from research institutions around the. world. based on its findings plan a contact individuals companies and community groups in the affected areas worldwide. they publicize their project and allow users to help fund them. data analysis can help to identify and address environmental problems more quickly. litter base is an online database that's open to everyone graphics show the results of more than a 1000 scientific studies on marine pollution. on a world map it's easy to see where research expeditions have already taken place. the latest results from the worldwide scientific community are regularly fed into

the database. the aim is to make the global issue of marine pollution more accessible and easily understood including to nonscientists. nowadays and over there if anything anymore especially because of social media and people like to have picked earth having these maps and this imo this is graphs are providing useful information in the really short time to the public. another example the global forest change database at the university of maryland uses a map to show the state of the world's forests since 2013 users have been able to call up info based on satellite images they can see the effects of forest fires illegal logging and reforestation over long periods the platform is also dedicated to protecting forests and their inhabitants it combines satellite technology with

open data and crowdsourcing. data platforms make the problems more visible and with an app everyone can do their bit to help tackle them the c o 2 tracking at reforest i'm focuses on individual consumption and it gives you the chance to create and manage your own forest. the oral eco app is similar enter your daily habits with a few clicks and the app will calculate your carbon footprint and show you how to shrink it it also invites you to be a climate hero by supporting carbon offset projects that help people and the planet . or the digital activists in berlin mobilizing people is an important factor in tackling the global problem the climate for dickson has made people. unclear on what they need to do i think because of the language that is being used we speak. in a way that doesn't necessarily explain to people what the issues are we should be

focusing more on actionable advices rather than simply big words about the issues. with the help of these apps and data platforms we can all contribute to the protection of the environment. and it is again that shows us there are warming up causing sea levels to rise since the need to be risen by around $24.00 centimeters where the city planners. residence of rice farmers in seaside villages they all have one life threatening question how to adapt when sea levels rise as much as 60 metres as scientists have predicted. a poverty stricken district in manila's port area that's packed with houses on stilts at the edge of the sea. the people here live on the water and from it and

sometimes they fear it especially the monster waves spawned by typhoons. lovely suarez came here looking for work 15 years ago and ended up staying she sells food to freighter crews 3 times now storm flooding has destroyed the shock she lived in the 1st time it happened she nearly waited too long before fleeing. not only. when i saw that the water had come up this high and was starting to form eddies on the floor i just grabbed my kids and my bag and rushed out i left everything including our clothes i just took my kids my 2nd child was just a baby back then after we got out our house was totally swept away by the current.

21 families have moved into this apartment block 3 years ago like lovely suarez they all lived in improvised shocks subsidized by the state the new housing has been built to help protect people from the sometimes deadly flooding. filomena sinkhole nicknamed kamina lives here in a 21 square metre flood proof flat her old home was just 4 square metres and size the move has changed her life now that really the here i feel that i am now ordinary. so that's that the theory and. the human dignity us back because we live in the. now right next door people still live the way kamina used to there's a sewage canal close by when it grows clogged with garbage it overflows something that happened several times a year the residents in communist building are working off part of the cost of

their new apartments every week they make sure the waste canal is free of to try to us that could block it she remembers well how frightening the floods could be $1.00 of our worries then is. what each of the floor of our houses will collapse because of the flood wall so see there is no peace of mind that or during those days. around a 3rd of many of those 12000000 inhabitants live in informal settlements they're the ones most at risk when the water rises due to tropical storms and heavy rain can also cause flooding with help from the world bank the city is modernizing pumping stations to help reduce the threat posed by storms. you can see here a big flood control pond so basically all of the flood waters coming from the upstream catchments you know from all of the communities they all converge here in

the spot where they are stored and then we have here screening facilities that screen the garbage so that it will not block the pumps and then inside there so big pumps that will actually draw in the water from the pond towards the river which is behind this building. drainage areas like these are part of a flood management plan being worked out by the filipino government and the world bank. is a consultant there i mean change has basically worsened the flooding situation in metro manila as early as the 1800s you know metro manila has been very flood prone . but the population then was you know very small with this huge population in metro manila and then climate change increasing incidence of you know very intense rainfall it's just it just puts you know more people into danger of far from flood risks the residents who live close to the water unintentionally make the problem worse they are improvised housing and the waste they produce can keep floodwater

from draining properly that's why the government now wants lovely suarez and others like her to resettle to other areas but she's afraid of what the move might bring. we're willing to leave if they want to remove us because we know that this place is a danger zone. but what we really want if there's a budget if they'll provide a budget is to move somewhere close to here. we want to stay in this place and not be thrown out somewhere that might leave us jobless and starving. lovely suarez and her neighbors continue to live in fear not just because of the destructive power of the water they live on now but also because they could end up in a place where they'd find it even more difficult to survive. it's not

only. to cope with the changing environment as the planetary species the shifting to where where and how they be moving up the slopes and towards the pool it's a tally of more than $4000.00 species from around the world shores that roughly half were in the move disrupting ecological delicious ships. climate change is causing animals to respond by either adapting or migrating. this includes marine creatures such as corals which are a great danger from rising water temperatures and growing pollution. scientists say a further temperature increase of 2 degrees celsius would be too much for most corals to survive. and that of many fish and sea vegetation species. adapting they used to spend the winter in africa due to the abundance of food there now the birds are increasingly staying home. that could in turn have an impact on

ecosystems in africa fewer birds means fewer predators eating insects like locusts . such as the bark beetle are among the beneficiaries of climate change. the defenses of trees their primary source of food entire forests of spruce trees have already been ravaged by the parasite. rising temperatures are also impacting on the ecosystem in tanzania. with the rain through the savanna. an increase in the frequency and duration of droughts is prompting the animals to look for water elsewhere in the process they can stray into areas with bigger human populations. the threat to farmland and easy prey for poachers.

climate change and species extinction. scientists are already warning of twin crises in which $1000000.00 species will be at risk of extinction in the decades to come. with the loss of their habitats animals become even more vulnerable many of them are exploited taken in as pets but they did a story just attractions the asian black bear for example an endangered species is being trafficked for medical uses animals like monkeys are captured from the wild illegally to be sold as exotic pets for living conditions and very little social contact is the reality for many animals use distorters to tractions for entertainment lead zoos marine parks circuses the business with wild animals is incredibly profitable so the song is going against the flow by using digital even projections of holograms of animals not only to preserve the traditional circus

experience but also to make a statement against a vamp and animal cruelty in the business. in the beginning was a horse. there are horses made of gold dust and an elephant performing tricks but there are no live animals here so long standing german circus from cali is introducing a new era by using holograms surface to record down hard powell says it's a sign of the times if you meet everything you no longer set up our tents on the meadows but often in the parking lot in the middle of a city that would be so the living conditions for animals have changed. we have to take this into account we have to observe the changing world around us and constantly make the necessary adjustments. for the. holograms or the

new stars opening the show. welcome to circus or on kali. and then real performers take over to the circus ring is clear let us begin. the circus is currently in the northern german city of loopback performing their program storytellers yesterday today and tomorrow the idea is to transport the romantic world of the circus into the 21st century the future is represented by an acrobat interacting with an industrial robot to the circus thing should come as a surprise so people should know what is coming home they should say that i've never seen that with spin machine is a cause of electric light. all these course the sensation of the circus back in the day and now we're introducing him. into. a company based in germany's or a region which is specializing in reality implemented the ideas that one tally had come up with. he used 3 d.

animation to model the figures 1st. wonderly steam also created a virtual version of the circus tent to calculate the viewing angles of the audience members and then adjust the animations accordingly. that's a fun to recreate the huge surface of the elephant is a very complex task and we use photos to help with the texture of the net a friend also has over 14000 little bristles on the news i mean look at the elephant in the circus ring you can see them. through quite a challenge to model and render them. the holograms were tested in a huge studio at a quarter of their eventual show size. not all of them are part of the current show. in future they'll be much more interaction and that will be even more interesting element into

a new acrobats will be able to interact direct. with the holograms just like an artist makes new arrangements great new worlds and moves within them to standard. for the current tour circus director banhart powell was filmed against the backdrop of a green screen and then animated into a virtual balloon. but what do the audiences think is there something missing what do they think it was about time that real animals left the circus. and i think it's good that there are no more animals because it's not right for them if you really want to see live animals you can go to a zoo and i feel part of the acting but it was breathtaking i really liked it and i've never seen anything like this before but sometimes when you put as it is the real truth you can also see i was missing the romantic wrong country spirit of the past holograms and technology are not giving me the same flair. if you had a smell of horses was missing

a bit but on the whole i liked it and and that's what it was great really well done with the elephant i have the impression that it was about to sit in my lap that's how realistic it was. in the next show the virtual world merged with the real world even more. what seems certain is that the circus will remain a world of magical surprises. what i mean credible idea we don't need more productive cotton innovation like this if we are to adapt to a planet that is changing more rapidly than we pink it is we'll be back next week

with yet another provoking episode until then good bye. if.

fluently. if. i think of everything 1st i make a muslim. song much different culture between here and there so challenging for everything. finish honestly i think it was worth it for me to come to germany. shall be my god my license to work as a swimming instructor a mission our 2 children nothing at all to swim fast i just finished. what's your
