documented in the effects of global warming in the sahara. more than a 3rd of our planet is made up of deserts and dry lands and that percentage is rising every year an additional 70000 square kilometers of fertile land turns to deserts the main course is a deforestation over grazing on the over use of water resources all of which deplete the soil of essential minerals with temperatures set to rise over the coming decades the rate of disaster for cation is likely to speed up considerably more to scarcity is already a problem for 1000000000 people most of them in africa. the world risk index says the situation is particularly precarious in the star held region. lake chad in west central africa people here have lived from fishing and farming for thousands of years. it appears the democrat at 1st glance. but one of the
12:32 am
world's biggest environmental catastrophes is unfolding here. 20 years ago the lake surface shrank by 90 percent and now climate change has brought extreme weather that's destroying the local farmers' livelihoods. photographer andy spiral is working on a photo project that documents the effects of climate change in the entire sahara. spyros the last reporter in the region before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic back home in germany africa's problems seem far away still they have a direct impact on europe. 80000000 people live in the sahara region their livelihoods will be taken away in the coming years and decades the people have to go somewhere and go they will just a matter of where. on lake chad spiral experienced 1st hand how the
12:33 am
climate catastrophe lead to conflicts wars terrorism and anarchy. extreme weather is getting worse harvests are failing and large parts of lake chad can no longer be traversed because nature can no longer provide for the people here there are intense fights over the remaining resources entire villages have been burned down. smaller into villages that ended up at war with each other and it was clearly about resources it was but access to water access to food and fishing rights the weapons they used were as archaic as the landscape spears bows and arrows. of people die on lake charles year due to the regional conflicts that have embroiled the region. and the spiral has photographed in syria. afghanistan and in the balkans he shoots with
12:34 am
a wide angle lens which means he has to get close up to people. spyros work isn't limited to farmers he also photographs were islamic extremists women who have to understands the interplay between hunger and a religious extremism from seeing them firsthand including only. drives around the lake at night and recruits young man you offer a $500.00 and a k $47.00 is very enticed into someone whose livelihood is disappearing. from that quarter for you and. also went to nigeria where the conflict between the nomads and the farmers has been escalating for years it's now one of the bloodiest civil wars in the world for a week spiral accompanied muslim falana nomads as they drove their cattle herd southward during the dry season. but when telling passengers caused the situation
12:35 am
to explode when full money herds grains down farming land the farmers shot the cattle the nomads burned down the farmers villages in retaliation both belief they're in the right and the government is unable to resolve the conflict. later we heard the other side of the story we went to the christian farmers and listened to their version of what happened this one village called it was completely destroyed by the full army people dozens of people were massacred people were to capitated and they took the heads with them it was very brutal. in mali internal conflicts lead to a military coup. troops marched through the streets of the capital bamako and force president and prime ministers to resign. not even the deployment of the german military which had been in the country for 7 years could prevent the total collapse of the government. in march and the spiral was a. an area that was once popular with tourists today the region is isolated and
12:36 am
millions of civilians suffer violence there caliphates and ethnic militias but no government mali hasn't been seen for quite some time. with the prime minister we went to visit there with the prime minister and there was an armed unit a kilometer long at least a 100 vehicles just so we could visit the village says a lot about security there or. more than 2000000 people from the lake chad region have fled due to hunger war and extremism and aspirants provocative pictures show the impact this has on people and how violence leads to trauma and devastation. they have no choice but to flee and they won't be the last.
12:37 am
hunger is on the rise all over the world it now affects around 820000000 people and yet some 1300000000 tons of food a wasted every year in developing countries this is often down to a lack of infrastructure as a result on average 6 to end levon kilos of food a wasted this way per person per year in industrial nations that figure at least 10 times greater retailers and consumers often toss out food just because it no longer a p. is fresh extending the shelf life of produce could improve the situation. in the. fruit and vegetables rotting in fields or during transportation to consumers. according to the un food and agriculture organization or f a o some 14 percent of food is lost after harvesting and before reaches the market or
12:38 am
returner. if you go to a particular country or particular village you're likely to see varying levels of food losses and these you've been on the situation would go up even to 50 percent if you're talking about or less the fruits and vegetables for example if they're from a does not find a market for that particular food product in a timely basis now this is huge amount of food and if you you convert it into our monetary quantity this is a lot and if you don't wait it is well into the laws to the environment or the environmental impact that is also huge. when that happens water pesticides and resources used for transportation are all wasted. some 70 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions can be traced back to food loss and waste. the chief causes include problems of transportation
12:39 am
and refrigeration. to power from harvest to kitchen table as a race against time. a california based company appeal sciences might be able to help. founder james rodgers and his team have developed a liquid that could extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. appeal is a little exactly like it sounds peel we applied to the surface of fresh produce you can't see it yet if you look well it slows down the factors that cause the fruit to age. it helps even without refrigeration. appeal is a liquid coating that dries into a kind of edible skin. the coating helps the projects last up to 4 times as long but buys time time to transport to produce to store it and to eat it before it spoils. based on lip it's another natural compounds found in fruits and
12:40 am
vegetables. they're extracted and blended into a tailor made solution. by combining them in the rate ratios when they dry a dry eye into an arrangement that allows us to control the factors that cause street age which are basically water going out and oxygen going in so same materials were just a new trick by finding the right formula to apply to different kinds of produce early given the same kind of protection that you have about women on a cucumber or on a. wholesaler nature's pride sell some 120000 tonnes of fruits and vegetables a year they import from 59 countries especially latin america in
12:41 am
rotterdam the important projects continues to ripen before it sorted packed and shipped to the retailer spoilage and waste is a common problem in the industry but the company hopes to minimize these losses in the future. the way they actually bought it and they don't use it and that costs money so in the chain if we don't know what way you don't spend that money wrongly with the be a we can reduce food waste well since you present every day level. food that used to land in the trash can now be sold. every day nature's pride treat 6 tons of those with appeal before sending them to supermarket shelves across europe. the main customers are in scandinavia germany and the netherlands. nature's pride is the 1st company in europe to use appeal. they're planning to start treating other kinds of fruits and vegetables. as far as going by air by
12:42 am
using a few we might give them the possibility go by boat and that is of course is they would be fantastic so there's lots of opportunities. so far the new technology is mainly being used by large companies smaller ones can't afford it. but appeal says planning to change that with a new business model in which retail chains and supermarkets pay smaller produces some farmers to install the necessary set up in return they receive longer lasting produce. farmers in places that haven't had access to national international markets could also benefit. and so the opportunity is to be able to use appeal to reduce the transport station costs and increase the quality so it's not a it's a way for a small producer to grow something that's intrinsically valuable to collect some of that value. extending the shelf life of projects will help but it won't end the
12:43 am
problem of food loss and waste. for that transportation and refrigeration systems will also need to be improved and expanded. and consumers will have to stop throwing food away and start only buying what they're actually. this week in global ideas we look at simply mental case how can jobs be created for young people while at the same time protecting our planet and its resources just outside the ugandan capital kampala i reported julius visited a learning harbor which encourages young people to tend their creative patients into reality. our house collapsed on the bed when mother died from the flood so i turned to my opinion for interim motivation. i never knew that's what i'm doing. this big tell me i'm condemned very moment. i thought and out i thought discriminated because of my often fall from malaria

12:46 am
a lot of young people in uganda have no form or work. the country has one of the youngest and fastest growing populations in africa especially in uganda people are not prepared to work together to present themselves to us critical questions to find their own solutions on answers and we are learning that unseen are and that's why often not everybody will become an entrepreneur but many of our scholars as well that have been so you know have found jobs. one of the solutions led to kampala with plastic waste is a huge problem. $350000.00 tons of trash accumulates in the ugandan capital every year and only houses it is disposed of. much of the plastic lands on this trash dump recycling isn't coming here john mary could be in that pays young trash collectors together bottles that he can then use to build houses.

agreement the words simple the concern is the agreements are of course those set on climate change in paris in 2015 the fridays for future protests have turned into a worldwide movement of people young and old calling for governments and individuals to get a handle on global issues they say are shared responsibility to act something one community in northern finland has taken to heart. this is northern finland the baltic coast after hitting the sauna nothing beats a quick dip in the cold river. very refreshing when you hear in the water you really feel like a part of nature you love walked out of it sometime.

has been creating incentives so that everybody does their part in finland's day cares in schools children are taught how to protect the climbers. thank you i guess it all began with a 5050 project we tried it out in 3 schools the children monitor the water and electricity use and get paid half of what they've saved the school and those who tell the ts then they can buy something with the money the project was so successful that it was expanded to all the schools and daycare centers in. that. in the past 10 years residents in a pub reduced their energy consumption by half and the children of use the money saved to buy toys plants even a pool table. so should come out. those are carrots. they're ready now.

the town of be surrounded by unspoiled nature as well as some of europe's largest peat bogs for centuries piece was burned here as a source of energy but they're also vast reservoirs of c o 2 protecting them keeps that c o 2 out of the atmosphere. businessman you her whole goal is from easy you bought large tracts of the nearby people and make them protected areas. we can only change of every person and every family does their part whatever they can doing large and small things is what we need to help fight climate change a sea of the 70. some of scandinavia is told us wind turbines are located in the nonrenewable energy heating oil that pollutes the air for example has been banned the relies on its own wind and water and produces 10 times more green energy than the town needs an emergency 4000000 euros a year selling its leftover electricity she met dixie and we've had many
12:55 am
discussions about when the energy i said about the noise for example and the blight on the countryside and how when turbines disrupt community life it just goes out the. 60 new wind turbines are being planned for construction around the outer edge of primeval forest not one tree has been felt here in the last 100 years. you won't be able to conceal the wind turbines 300 metres high and set up only a few 100 metres from the spot. so will you be one of them it's a common goal to protect nature and. we need the wind power but we also need to protect the surrounding areas. so it's like a puzzle in the end we have to put all of the pieces together to find the best compromise. on. protecting the climate is indeed a massive puzzle what impact on a little town has been such a global problem the big one according to the people of. for one thing they can set
