you see. soon as you hear beethoven you lose your mind. was the story behind the music. or the agent's british. beethoven's 9th. or the more stars it believes on t.w. . the. life itself arose from it's where the essential building blocks were formed over millennia it took power zones a few years for aquatic animals and plants to make the transition on combat look at

today's goods evolved from the freedom in dinosaurs and now they're forced to make a whole city adapt to the changing environment has been the route to survival but the speed of climate destruction use outstripped the capacity of many species to adapt hello welcome to eco india. coming to you from mumbai in india making a head start in the direction of adapting to the changing climate is the. in the south indian steve to get a look it has set itself the ambitious deadline of becoming india's 1st all but neutral town by 2020 we travel to me and i'm going to take a look at how far the fall. loves he's even stored around his coffee plantation. the organic she'd grown robust

a coffee grows in the speciality in the southern state of carolina. this is very robust we count the number of clusters on each branch. but but all year for the best coffee harvest there should be turkey nobody's clusters on. lease but addition in the quintile must mean other respects it is on the word of becoming the 1st carbon neutral certified coffee plantation in india but that involves more than just the plantation the town has set itself an ambitious 21st century goal. 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 minute 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 towns net carbon footprint can be brought down to 0. this is significant for india a country that is the world's 4th largest greenhouse gas emitting. when the project began many of the 34000 residents of minot that he didn't know what global warming even meant. but the deal that things were changing. they've all been affected by climate change weather patterns environment are not what they used to be my analogy used to have a natural a scene but now we can't sleep without using electric air conditioning at. the emissions produced by transport households in. industries in the town are

already being partially offset by biodome us forests that surround me not good. 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 for the town to attain net 0 emission of carbon neutral status. volunteers and workers began to reforest the area. they hope to do their best to buffer the everetts temperature rise of between 2 and 4.5 degrees celsius that is predicted for the region by 25th. for me not getting such a rise would cause wise production to fall and devastate heat sensitive crops like garden and coffee. 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 the secular waste and bring it to a resource recovery center set up under the carbon nuclear program. here the further process and separate it according to categories. sumi manages a facility with its 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. a lot of on that and what they did making 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 she with the emissions . reduction. 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. however. 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

you're in a school when they don't have 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 equivalent. you've been front and located for the carbon nuclear program and students transformed the plantation into a biodiversity park by planting seeds of bamboo 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 access card i. am i am about and. often

carbon neutrality is a goal that can never be completely achieved but even getting that community together is a success in itself. and this could certainly serve as a model for many cities in india. reducing the carbon footprint requires commitment an effort from each one of us to stop with however solid. to analyze the problem and measure the impact of several web forms in apps that can do this for us to be making complex the with the simple chic swipe. pollution in 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 is a 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 needs to be immediately acted on. the berlin based startup analyzes data from research institutions around the world. based on its findings plan a contact individual 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 graphic 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 very thing anything anymore especially because of. and people like to have picked earth having these maps and these are notices 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 every forest on focuses on individual consumption and it gives you the chance to create and manage your own forest. the 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 . for the digital activists in berlin mobilizing people is an important factor in tackling the global problem the climate the texan has made.

in 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. 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. rice farmers. villages they all have one life threatening question how to adapt when sea levels rise to as much as 60 meters as scientists have predicted.

pastika 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 smore as 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 shack she lived on the 1st time it happened she nearly waited too long before flame. not only will end when i saw that the water had come up this high and was starting to form end is 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 shacks subsidized by the state the new housing has been built to help protect people from the sometimes deadly flooding. filomena sink old nicknamed kamina lives here in a 21 square meter flood proof flat her old home was just 4 square meters and size the move has changed her life now that the levy here i feel that i am now on their. so that's that the theory and. the human dignity us back because we live in that these. now right next door

people still live the way kamini 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 if the floor of our houses because of the flood so see there is no peace of mind that our 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 spog 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 part 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 limits aims 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 farm risks the residents who live close to the water unintentionally make the problem worse they're improvised housing and the waste a 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 us through this we need to cope with the changing environment as the planetary species of shifting to where when and how big they are moving up the slopes and towards the pool a tally of more than 4000 species from around the wood shores that roughly half are 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.

ready adopting are 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 higher temperatures. in the defenses of trees their primary source of food entire forests of spruce trees have already been ravaged by the parasite. rising temperatures. get 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 linked. 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 while notable many of them are exploited taken in as pets but didn't as store this to tractions the issue 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 used to store just attractions 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 vamp and animal cruelty in the business. in the beginning was a horse. their 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 circus director panhard powell says it's a sign of the times if you had me everything you no longer set up our tents on the meadows but often in a parking lot in the middle of a city. 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 t.v. movie or holograms or the new stars opening the show. welcome to circus or on kali. and then real performers take over the circus ring is clear let us be get. the circus is currently in the northern german city of lubec performing our 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. 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 a spin machine is a cause of electric lighting. all these courses sensation at 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 augmented reality implemented the ideas that one tally had come up with. they used 3 d. animation to model the figures 1st. underlay 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 business owner elephant to recreate the huge surface of an elephant is a very complex task and we use photos to help with the text but another friend also has over 40000 little personal some of these i mean look at the elephant in the circus ring you can see them. 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 bats will be able to interact and i read. with the holograms just like an artist makes new arrangements great new worlds and moves within them just understeer very can defeat . 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. but 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 right here

a parking lot look i think it was breathtaking i really liked it and i've never seen anything like this before but sometimes when you point out is the real truth because i was missing the romantic wrong country spirit of the past holograms and technology are not giving me the same flair. if it had a smell of horses was missing a bit but on the whole i liked it and i can't tell whether it was great really well done but 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 the only world of magical surprises. what an incredible idea we don't need more productive thought in innovation like this if we are to adapt to a planet that is changing more rapidly than we think it is we'll be back next week

with yet another provoking episode until then good bye.
