a photographer to document in the effects of global warming in the sahara. move in the flood 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 tons to desert 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 sun held region. in west central africa people here have lived from fishing and farming for thousands of years it appears. at 1st glance. but one of the world's biggest

environmental catastrophe says unfolding here. 20 years ago the lake surface shrank by 90 percent and now climate change has brought extreme weather that's just drawing the local farmers' livelihoods. photographer andy spiral is working on a photo project that documents the effects of climate change in the entire science . 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 climate

catastrophe lead to conflicts wars terrorism and our king. 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 burnt down. or 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 chad each year due to the regional conflicts that have been brought to the region. and the spiral has photographed in syria after. on

a stand and in the balkans he shoots with 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 understand the interplay between hunger and religious extremism from seeing them firsthand including only. drives around the lake at night and recruits young men would you offer a $500.00 and a k $47.00 is very enticed into someone whose livelihood is disappearing. from the . spiral 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 forlani nomads as they drove their cattle herd southward during the dry season. but dwindling pastures caused the situation to

explode when full nonny herds grazed on 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 bari it was completely destroyed by the full on the 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 minister singh 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 wasn't an air. yeah there was once popular with tourists today the region is isolated and

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 the 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.

hunger is on the rise all over the world it now affects around 820000000 people and yet some 1300000000 tons of food or wasted every year in developing countries this is often down to a lack of infrastructure as a result on average $6.00 to $11.00 kilos of food a wasted this way per person per year in industrial nations that figure is 10 times greater retailers and consumers often toss out food just because it no longer at play is fresh extending the shelf life of projects could improve the situation. and 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 it reaches the market

a retailer. 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 a situation would go up even to 50 percent if you're talking about less the fruits and vegetables for example if they're from it 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 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 wasters. some 7 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions can be traced back to food loss and waste. the chief causes include problems of transportation

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 are wired to the surface of fresh produce you can't see it yet you can't feel it but 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. as time time to transport to produce to store it and to eat it before it spoils.

appeal is based on lip it's another natural compounds found in fruits and vegetables. they're extracted and blended into a tailor made solution. by combining them in the rate ratios when they dried a dried into an arrangement that allows us to control the factors that cause street to 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 earlier given the same kind of protection that you have about why men on a cucumber or on a. wholesaler nature's pride sells some $120000.00 tons of fruits and vegetables a year. they import from 59 countries especially latin america in

rotterdam the imported 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 or 60 percent and there was a level. food that used to land in the trash can now be sold. every day nature's pride treats 6 tons of avocados 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

ben is going by air by using a new we might give them the possibility go by boat and that is a forces 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 the 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 and 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 problem of food loss and waste. for that transportation and refrigeration systems

will also need to be improved and expanded. consumers will have to stop throwing food away and start only buying what they'll actually eat. this week in global ideas we look at employment opportunities 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 our reporter julie has visited a learning harbor which encourages young people to turn their creative visions into reality. our house when the mother. suffered so. passed into motivation. i never knew what i'm doing. this big told me. i thought and out i thought discriminated because of my often fall from malaria

i am now part of the solution in my country. to people each with a vision jono the bigger producers so quick to say that repels mosquito according to the un every 2 minutes a child under the age of 5 dies of malaria. even if i'm saving all the kids that are suffering great now i am. the ones that. john merrick is founder and director of the green business up cycle africa which builds houses out of recycled plastic bottles. clothes for me that was in africa in 2 improvement opportunities for groups of people so we are for the. consumer and the elevator are graduates of the social innovation academy all seen official so. it's located in the town of p.v.

about 30 kilometers south of uganda's capital kampala. here young people including oftens and street kids learn how to develop their ideas into successful businesses due to the current $900.00 pandemic only a few students are currently able to attend classes on campus. it is not giving them information over to this is what you need to do or this is the right answer but helping them to discover their own answers to understand what are the next steps what i've. achieved what they want to do german social entrepreneur etienne's i have one founded see no in 2014 for people who want to build their own career paths the academy is financed by donations it's been over 10 years since i born which i own and john mary while volunteering in an orphanage they've known each other a long time. that one quickly realized that

a lot of young people in uganda have no formal work. the country has one of the youngest and fastest growing populations in africa especially in uganda people are not prepared to have to work together to present themselves to us critical questions to find on solutions on answers and we are learning that unseen. 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 lead to kampala with plastic waste is a huge problem. $350000.00 tons of trash accumulate in the ugandan capital every year and only half of it is disposed of. much of the plastic lands of this trash dump recycling isn't coming here john mary could be mad pays young trash collectors together bottles that he can then use to build houses.

every time i come here i do like give some money to other people for example if locally all keeping our environment to get it to gives me a lot of hope that even the future division will inhibit the whole of the planet that we are we have done or we have protected from perth nic with. his pressed into the plastic bottles to make bricks many women work full to v.m.s. business giving them the chance to earn their own money. the ad won't get up our wages were raised recently. phenomena school fees now i can pay my daughter's university tuition and give her the opportunity to graduate us with the. given a says the houses are cool inside even on hot days his business has already constructed more than 100 buildings using over 3000000 plastic bottles in the process. due to the coronavirus pandemic commissions have slowed but there is

funding coming in from abroad we are revising different solutions on the way we can be able to survive as a company also good. people who support us for example we go to some funding for i care and our chairman that decided to support us and especially in the. interim this woman supplies jonelle a baker with lemon grass a key ingredient in her so she brings some bars by these days for free before the curve of 19 crisis she sold his soap to tourists and hotels for a higher price so she could keep the price down for locals now that there are hardly any tourists she's expanded her online business. it helps that the soap's effectiveness has been scientifically verified. in the past people often got sick with malaria especially children but since we've been

using the soap it's been a while since anyone here has had malaria. the refugees settlement necchi valley in western uganda it provides shelter for more than 100000 people who fled the violence in neighboring countries such as south sudan. many people have lived here for years including victim i figure together with. he brought the sea no model to nucky valley. finding work tends to be even harder for refugees than for young ugandans. a few of victor's trainees have already been awarded prize money as music festivals. in settlement that young people with. its heroes people don't have. to school. nor opportunities we come to realize that very

few do parties can not only depend on ads by big can also bring something gross. and moving. but there have also been setbacks because of coping 19 a senior branch in south africa had to be put on hold. nevertheless. remains convinced that senior will play a part in more success stories like those of john merrick of huma and joan. i have a vision to make my country place i have a vision to make africa instead of running away from it to make it a better place. if my one mother huppenthal. for. stick to your own

agreement the words of simple the concern. 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 warming it is they say our 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 share in the water you really feel like a part of nature you love walked out of it sometime.

said to me we live right in the middle of nature that means that we can enjoy the woods to pick berries and go hunting. so it's important for us that we can grow our own food here and that we have the forest and access to nature in general. this town's name is spelled out i suggest a simple and straightforward as the town itself a few roads to supermarkets and just under 10000 inhabitants nice considered one of europe's greenest communities the town has managed to reduce its c o 2 emissions by 80 percent. said come out of the c n n again it's become clear to us that climate change is not on the way it's already here. in humanity and we've understood that it's not just the big players that have to make the change by. the we have to be a part of the changes well. made. the key to their success

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. like love you know 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 the. in the past 10 years residents in the 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 the surrounded by on spoiled nature as well as some of europe's largest people. for centuries just burned here as a source of energy but they're also vast reservoirs of c o 2 protecting them keep stop c o 2 out of the atmosphere. this is my new her whole goal is from easy you bought large tracts of the nearby people and make them protected areas. we can only change if every person in every family does their part whatever they can doing large and small things is what we need to help fight climate change cmdr said. some of scandinavians told us when turbines are located in the nonrenewable energy heating oil that pollutes the air for example has been banned relies on its own wind and water and produces 10 times more green energy than the town needs and emotions 4000000 euros a year selling its left over electricity she met dixie in front we've had many

discussions about when the energy about the noise for example and the blight on the countryside and how when turbines disrupt community life it just blows out the. 60 new wind turbines are being planned for construction around the outer edge of the primeval forest not one tree has been felt here in the last 100 years. and he won't be able to conceal the wind turbines $300.00 metres high and set up only a few 100 metres from the spot so. 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

a good example what works for remote corner finland just might work for the rest of the world too. that's all from us at global 3000 this week as always we'd love to have you'll say it's on the program drop us a line change global 3000 at w dot com and don't forget we're on facebook chain and you women see estate cat.
