money is the driver of modern life it's needed to pay for the clothes we wear for the food we eat and for nearly every aspect of our lives while it's used for so many good things it's also behind some of our bad choices as a species like the destruction of the involvement to leave it for example can we really examine these choices and use money as an incentive to protect the environment that's what we'll talk about today hello welcome to eco india. coming to you from mumbai commercial agriculture it is one of the biggest reasons for the forestation accounting for 14 percent of all the tropical trees fell between the years to posit and 2010 according to u.n. figures in regions like the western cots in india local farmers are having to cut down trees to make ends meet to support their agricultural practices but the

community project is turning pains around for the reach of. the forest around the village none bludgeon western india secret to its people especially because of his productive trees they don't only grow but they're also the home of the great hall with the red fruits from the crease dug through and 69 year old. are the heads of $32.00 well it is around the area they know of the importance of the crease. tired of this g.o.p. hornbill is here from ages and is being respected by our forefathers from generations the age of history is not less than 225 years whenever there is any function in the village this is 1st.

the western ghats a mountainous region running to the south. in former times there was a unique rain forest here not much of it is lived many large productive crees would chop down here a few years ago to build the trees. and due to economic pressures locals got cleared of the secret to make space for livestock farming. however that in many grandfathers contained precious treasures the fruit of the baby doc a tree known ingredient in the i regret the herbal medicine and just the fear while foundation has developed a business idea from this local harvest the fruits of the crease. one of them is to get old roger. he has been a permanent member of the project for eighty's. and. early. example of reverse migration was leaving for mumbai to do

a job as there was no one in the family or arning livelihood at the railway station very present to develop a nature connect contacted me and suggested me for the job of collecting. job. creating income for the local it's an important concern of the pros if they no longer rely on family they don't need to chop down the crease the fruits are dried and then sorted by the victim of the growing of women take of the seeds that are not. among the women is 25 year old yvonne. the how come i said i come here to actually my live with my husband and all those who are depending on us here good to be you know is a beauty. salon whatever their. journey. of

the fair while back to nature connect broad reaching the locust live from the fruits of the old trees is one aspect that matters to him another one is their contribution to climate change the forest areas that we are saving in the cards sequestering 11000 carbon in one acre so if we say that in the last one year we have saved 2000 acres of forest in sea we 200000 tonnes of carbon dioxide getting released in the in the atmosphere. of the flute have been dried. to make my ribbon on which i use for. a mixture of was used in i read the medicine i mean 120 communities make their living from harvesting processing and cross sporting different income last year alone around 100000 year.

about $1000.00 of the old trees could be saved from deforestation and that is another property of the whole bit. it nests in the branches all be productive. here too intensively for the station the population of these rare birds had declined enormously thanks to the project the population is now recovered and we found that the out of our nesting fired up going to stick sites around 23 in the things i had read on the street of the i mean the nobility got so it was very clear that if we are going to save the beleaguered trees we have saved the greed hundreds . the project not only ensures that crease are protected from being cut down the survival of the baby dr creases taken care of by the whole bill itself as a so-called farmer of the forest it ensures that the seeds of the foods and spread again. planet and don't always go hand in hand many

a time history has. come from investing in not conscious companies. invest. money is being human in a socially and environmentally responsible. 20 years 2010 drilling rig exploded in the gulf of mexico the largest oil spill in history. ports revealed that the attempts by oil company b.p. to cut costs and maximize profits had led to the disaster. the incident illustrates the frequent conflict between the planners and shareholder profits. but what if it didn't

have to be this way. very stressed around. for this scandal some investors that sold their b.p. shares concerned about the company's record on environmental social and governance issues so they avoided the stock crash the fall of the oil spill. these 3 metrics are now called e s g and they're defining a new way of investing that promises to reconcile. but can they deliver. cynical as the financial world might seem ethical considerations of always played a role in investment decisions. the origins of responsible investing trace back to 1758 when some religious groups predicted members from profiting from the slave trade ringback but the modern era of responsible investing really evolved in the 1960 s. together with the boycott movement. it started with the boycotts of companies that

did business with apartheid south africa that was really the genesis i think. and then it kind of grew up along with the green movement through the seventy's and eighty's and kind of bank rate move of tobacco stocks removal of firearms manufacturers removal of nuclear weapons manufacturing is all about excluding companies this exclusion strategy is called divesting and despite the initial excitement it led to mixed results it is however according to a modern political theory earning your bottom line a little bit and you have to sacrifice some financial returns. vestments remove entire sectors like energy into bacco from investors portfolios when the portfolio is less diversified this risk goes up. 5 the 1st of such funds for example has historically underperformed the market but big money is now betting

that this will change in his 2020 letter to c.e.o.'s larry fink the chairman of black rock the world's largest fund manager came right out and said climate risk is investment risk. but i don't think there is a choice between plan and profit. is somebody actually metrics that you're scoring companies on you look at anything or is this really any s.g. thing or is this just good business are you producing are you wasting resources wasting resources back to the bottom line or that brings the rate back into being business. screening companies for the s.g. criteria has proven an effective way to anticipate and avoid scandals capable of wiping out share prices so for example in between yesterday mutual funds they had to hold folks who are going for a long time because there were questions around the governance structure of the company. disallowed those e s g. to avoid the stock crash that followed reasonably use emissions cheating

scandal. cheating software to make. green companies are also better prepared to face the growing threat of climate change. these factors are reviving the appeal of green investment. sustainable funds are attracting new assets at a record pace. the real question then is not whether green investments can make profits the question is whether they can be called green in the 1st place. the definition got yesterday the lack of a central standard is an issue so company could score very well on these. rankings but on the other hand have a large negative effects on the environment. and even if a company is genuinely green buying its shares may not translate into creating an impact. 'd the theory of change behind sustainable investing is pretty

straightforward the more green companies receive the more they can pursue less sustainable. vestments are unlikely to financially starve the fossil fuel industry for this strategy to be effective it must permanently reduce a company's ability to access capital when capital is divested there's also creates an opportunity for other investors to buy shares at a lower price when this happens the stock price can quickly pounds back to its previous level without impacting the company's valuation ready. it's not enough it's simply isn't because the effect of tiny. investments are not a magic formula. very often what is advertised to sustainable is just greenwashing . other cases impact can be achieved only by sacrificing some profit. when

investing in our early profitable non-green companies and then diverting the profit to environmental causes would be more effective. but similar calculations miss a more important point. it is tough to actually measure and. your conscience is clean you don't profit from an activity. many people simply no longer want to invest money at the expense of the environment and that alone is an important step forward. now investor pressure is forcing companies to reconsider their carbon footprint one way of for treating this carbon credits that is by being for projects that reduce carbon dioxide emissions in other parts of the world in 20 the voluntary carbon offsets market was works to $5700000.00 for maybe this opens up new business opportunities.

this tropical rain forest has stood for millennia but human beings would need very little time to destroy it driven by the desire to make money. just like any other bankers who came to work i was actually doing underwriting so we do a lot of deals. done so no hard china is heading out to his rain forest in borneo it covers an area twice the size of new york city. he's bought the rights to the land from the indonesian government for the next 60 years on condition that he protects the forest. i always believe that the environment has the value just like

treating it like a real estate thought that owning a forest you know and have a better appreciation value compared to real estate companies pay had to protect the forest like volkswagen the world's largest automaker buys carbon credits from her tono to compensate for the emissions put out by its cars neither he nor v.w. are willing to say how much they cost per tonne a sense discussing prices openly would be damaging to business critics of the trade in carbon emissions say it allows companies to greenwash their image even as they continue to contribute to global warming we've always said they're going to grow up and let's try to protect the rainforest but the reality is the past 20 years all the rain forests are pretty much gone in certain countries is because we believe that you know we should convert it into other use it's as a. paper for human fuel for humanity needs but i think. saying that you can still protect the rain forests and make money for the company and also giving

benefit the community while protecting the environment then that should be a new model going forward. just a few kilometers outside the protected sound the rain forest has disappeared here wildfires tore through the area after a prolonged period of heat but many times it's international companies who clear the forest in order to sell timber to gain grazing land for cattle or to set up palm oil plantations. in his area hard tonneau has set up the code 10 gunmen tie a project to show others how the forest can be used to make money without destroying it in the process. he says the money from carbon emissions trading can help with that. hard tonneau has invested in initiatives like the school which provides instruction on how to climb a coconut tree for example. many of the people who have now gained jobs through

hard tonneau previously earned their living selling timber feel now they're learning how to extract sugar from the sap of the coconut tree financed by companies in europe. and a coconut tree for the 1st time i was scared. but slowly the fear disappeared. and i want to climb 20 coconut trees a day. i think i used to cut wood in the forest for a living. the work was dangerous i only did it for my family. needed the money. investing in people and the local community is the goal but it's not the only goal projects like this are good for his customers image cars made by a company that's investing in people and helping to preserve the rainforest are likely to sell better. but when hard tono 1st started out it was by no means clear

that a big corporation like b w would be interested in a small project and borneo. we finally make profit we actually start having sales to. have 0 revenue and we just have to believe in the concept. isn't claiming that his emissions trading project will fundamentally change how we manage and preserve our natural resources. and back when he started climate change wasn't receiving the attention it is today. the concept of carbon trading was still in its infancy. partow took a risk starting out small but with a vision. and for him it's paying off. much of the economy. but that often has a negative impact on the involvement economists believe believes the b.

should be looking at the value of each other and how we can work with the natural to build a sustainable economy. we've created our economy on the model of the hamster no we are not a hamster growing doubling in size every week but every year us or whatever. the model of the economy has to be what is the economic equivalent of a caterpillar turning into a few but having it go out of life you've got to look to nature to understand what kind of economy works and what kind of economy doesn't we're in the kind of economy and the measurement system doesn't work. the problem is that the only element of value that you have measuring g.d.p. is produced goods and services which are out of what actually. there's a whole lot of other stuff that's happening. the value of the base pollination is

more than $150000000000.00 euros a year that's about 110th of the global agricultural. but of course he's never send you any invoice nature delivers a lot of value into the human economic system if you're just not measuring these value through. today's growth is destroying nature is destroying social fabric it's destroying human health. so it's destroying public goods while it's trying to create private welcome and whichever. if there's no law which is going to do this. why would you and i want to just. one of the key elements of the green economy is that it was the creation of systems which deliver less environmental damage. so things like sustainable agriculture

which uses more labor is actually rewarded sustainable agriculture has also changed and uses water usage uses pollution increases. in. land based vatican city and strongs. and it would result in growth but a different kind of group is. green growth. green growth is definitely something to aspire to but not always something to live up to 12 history of human settlements have eaten into the habitats of other living beings it's no different in northern be hot but out on the brink of extinction locals are now coming together to try and protect the region's fish eating crocodiles. even as hatchlings very easy to recognise with a long thin snout weighing up to 1000 kilograms of the guardiola as one of

india's rarest animals its population has declined by around 98 percent since the 1940 s. . some of whom are senhor conservationist of the violet trust of india has studied these reptiles for years but not somebody. in maine could be out there is a big board like structure on the now on the of the snout with the squad car so it is different from the other 2. to be up and other. conflict with human being but doesn't have any contact with human being. himalayan tribute tree of the ganges the gun duck descends into the indian plains at val making a go from the 4 years it was impossible to monitor and research the habitat and population of the carriers because social unrest in the region helped scientists back. our own 2007 after the situation relaxed

a study showed that only $200.00 surviving korea's demain in its entire distribution range prompting the i.u.c.n. to recognize the species ask critically endangered. many places fives and local people the. so these are the reasons behind declining populace and that even the most important reason is it was enough than the banks the definition of. the nest. and it affects the populace. a dam is causing the erosion of the banks each time the gates are open the stored water flows into the river causing a fast current the w.t.r. team is trying to coordinate with the authorities to regulate the release of water at least during the breeding time. but other work also has to be done. are considered relatively harmless they eat only fish once found in the region from pakistan to myanmar now they are only found

in india bangladesh and w.t.r. knows community involvement is essential in protecting them. local fisherman here monitor the reptiles and then mist. yeah subject after making in the mud they are on be there canelo we were asked to check on creole nests and whenever we spot any we call the environmentalists and inform but he said to keep looking until all new findings. for the year there were about the quantity. once a nest is identified it is shifted from the river bank to a safer area guardiola eggs typically take about 70 days to incubate the fisherman keep an eye on the eggs until the babies ariel's hatch and reach the water. in 2014 the w.t.

i released satellite factory else we're just still in these waters now which is about preserving their habitat. fun. last year we moved a proposal in the state board for wildlife to notify a critical area of about 10140 kilometers of the river as upon their wisdom is a means giving it a status of a protected area if you give it the status of one the reason is that it will involve locals in quandaries and a plus there won't be any land use change in that he was the banks so it is going to be a good estate it is going to be a long term called the reason for activity on the recent acts and for real for police and in the going to be what the conservation efforts are helping the species to bounce back to do these deep waters who are one of the largest populations of cardiology again but balancing the needs of the local people with the requirements of graveyards and other via life will be

a long term challenge. now i will admit that the systems we have created as a species make it very difficult to choose the mns loving the involvement will making more money for many of us but even the smallest conscious choices we make like using a reusable coffee mug amending a leaky tap when orientals mortem will was mending the imbalance i will leave you with that cotton soon makes week please stay safe and big good kid if you also and your loved ones go back.

in good shape the topic of this episode affects every single one of us how is the comb over by respect in our lives. what impact does it have on our spirits. and all relationships. plus. one of the long term trends. next on d w. from all things to. the to stick least

became non-local has the oldest population in japan. but it's not going to die out the. program is trying to attract young people it's been so successful that the country's oldest village has now become a trendsetter. 16 d. w. . we know this is a scary time for the coronavirus is changing the world changing. so please take care of yourself keep your distance and wash your hands if you can stay at how we're d.w.b. for here for you we are working tirelessly to keep you informed on all of our

platforms we're all in this together and together making sure. you save everybody stays and stay safe stay safe and the priest stay safe. hello would like a good shape since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus late 2019 everything has changed we have to wear a mask we have to keep our social distance and some of us even have to work from home the pen demick has made people grow a propensity for getting infected and people feel isolated because of social distancing. and doctors are seeing an increase in stress levels especially in

patients with family members who are infected today shows about the physical long term effects of corona and what the virus does to our psyche and i'm going to need dr under yes based on he's a psychiatrist and he's the head of the department for psychiatry psychosomatic and psychotherapy in 2 clinics in berlin and then he's confronted with the effects of the coronavirus preservation of nice meeting and thanks for having me today as a 2nd i just what kind of problems do you see jewing the could run up and down here people presenting small anxiety symptoms mol depressive symptoms sleep disturbance and some people they tend to use small subset so sly of a kind of us all also. illegal drugs but what we also see if those people who already suffer from severe mental disorders like severe depression of psychosis.

presenting hospitals with small suv you episodes and do you think that all those episodes are very severe and that corona pandemic has a severe impact of the psyche of patients at all you know i think corona has an impact on mentor hopeful of all of us and then people. in his old school be with us do you think that the number of cases would rise in the future i think i would expect in the future but the cases would rise and. colonna has brought about a lot of insecurity and uncertainty some people are constantly checking whether the tastebuds us 2 working and whether they've got a sore throat of us are experiencing a loss of control because they're not allowed to lead the life they used to and i see a lot of patients with migraines a heart palpitations and these are just some of the problems which are on the rise right now. what does the coronavirus do to us to our relation. chips with family

friends and strangers how does it affect our confidence in ourselves and in the world. a team of psychologists at marburg university in germany has been gathering the public's answers to those questions in an online survey the surveys findings offer a broad picture of the myriad effects that the coronavirus pandemic has had on our mental health monitor showing a is an educational psychologist. so what do people need to feel good in theory the feeling of being in control of their lives being independent and belonging to a social group. that when it comes to these 3 basic needs we found that our sense of autonomy has suffered our need to be in charge of our own lives has been very badly impaired we know from investigating these 3 needs that the situation can also lead to psychological problems that can even manifest themselves as psychological disorders like depression anxiety and the like. and yet people experience the

restrictions in very different ways just how different personality types get through the crisis is the focus of equipment as work one finding is that introverted and withdrawn people are suffering due to the current coronavirus restrictions those restrictions can magnify a person's sense of isolation but there's a more surprising result in miller's work. the people who are most sociable extroverted and more optimistic tend to go through life positively they're experiencing a noticeable increase in bad moods suffering very much from the situation. we think it's caused by the restrictive measures which obviously lead to fewer social contacts. so the crisis even weighs down on those who otherwise go through life in a sociable and positive manner one serious problem in the pandemic is the sudden uncertainty when people can stick to things they plant anxiety disorder specialist

christiane upon a 5 day looks at how we try to reassert control through behaviors like panic buying . excessive hygiene and pathological obsessions with the symptoms of the illness is that if it's relatively important to keep an eye on your body the question is to what degree we've observed that if parents raise their children to be obsessive about even relatively harmless physical symptoms like a runny nose or minor heart palpitations. those children have a higher risk of developing anxiety disorders and they could be uncertainty is also promoting a relapse into old gender role behaviors women are once again managing the household and family while the men are focusing more on earning a living. and what are the effects of the economic shift to home office. organizational psychologist 10 include wants to know how working from home affects our social identity our perception of ourselves as group members.

that includes professional contacts. and working from home over the long term could lead to people's sense of belonging weakened entry so it could be alienation. the so forth like that firsthand the things that used to be a given for a teen their identity are suddenly no longer there. it could be things as mundane as gathering around the coffee machine and if a company can't keep social identities alive in the way they've always existed they can have a negative effect on the health of its employees if it doesn't apply to them and how much of. those who have lost their jobs as a result of the crisis are in a much worse position they experience less access to social activities shelter and healthy food all of which can contribute to psychological disorders and he affected can no longer count on society understanding their plight the marburg team hopes

their focused their abuse will give patients the tools they need to deal with the cataclysmic changes happening in their lives. do you think he advice how we can keep mentally stable in such difficult times. yeah 1st of all i think it's important that we acknowledge that these are difficult times for us and that we tend to it's a kind of normal reaction for everybody to be even more nervous more irritated if a little bit more sleep difficult than usual so that's important for us to acknowledge that and the other strategy which is to. to reduce the times when you get with the coal covert pandemic. because since we tend to be irritable somehow going to be due very long with the issues around and endemic then it makes that you even more nervous what should we

do if we feel live only because of social distancing measures. i think it's important to recognize that there are too many options how we can stay in contact with others like on the on sky and on the all the decision media which is around and also to plan more social context for example if we. if you have a day where we have to be in a home office or something if it makes sense that it's important for us to organize a kind of social context maybe even especially if you live alone then to all be nice in advance that you make a phone call in the afternoon or that we see someone on skype or see someone you know in a cafe it's focus in the opposite situation when a big family sits in a small apartment and it's also crowded and you don't have any space for yourself

so how can you do within it that's helpful to stick to certain routine so even if children are not going to school or something like that then to start the day kind of to get those so even to get up to have breakfast together those kind of things so to have a daily routine even if there is no external stimulus for that and also to plan on things which everyone can do on on his or her own since that's what we are used to to have times during the everywhere we do something on all in states to stick to that. let's broaden our view a bit right now we focused just on germany and europe but what's a situation world light from a psychiatric and a few i mean it's very preliminary data we have for now but it looks like that the actual symptoms in in the german population from small studies it's this

stage it looks a bit like people in germany tend to have less symptoms then people in the u.s. so in china and it's interesting to speculate how that could happen and maybe it has to do with the strategy the politics came up with that they tend to focus on the individual and that's stated their decision how they deal with through goods and that they may. no strict laws which kind of. everybody doing the same because we know stress around it with it is helpful. for coping with stress if it is still our own decision what we are doing when young people get infected with the coronavirus the disease does not seem to progress so badly where is the virus hits patients with preconditions or other people part in any case a coronavirus is not to be underestimated it cannot only lead to severe respiratory

problems it can also damage the kidneys and the brain among convalescent persons. holding them high and so i came down with covert 19 today she still suffering the consequences to her health. i got really sick 3 months after catching the coronavirus my hair started falling out really badly i was like a christmas tree losing its needles i grabbed my hair and it came out in bushels there were areas where i was totally bowled it's not as bad as it was then but it still folds out and the hair that does grow back is there now wiring and a different color. in march she was rushed to the hospital on able to breathe she made a video journal of her illness for the magazine contrast. on not being able to breathe has an effect on your mind my condition was miserable i couldn't inhale my whole body rebelled my pulse skyrocketed i wanted to breathe i

inhaled and tried to get tat but i couldn't breathe and i was coming. even after leaving the hospital her breathing problems continued after very light physical exertion she needed to take breaks and catch her breath. from the another dramatic consequence that carly applies to notice much later was that. had difficulty speaking. she found it hard to turn her thoughts into words. i imagine the sentence in my head but a completely different one came out my nouns got mixed up for a whole day i replaced every now in my head with the word random. the central nervous system seems to be more effective than medical experts 1st realized patients who have recovered from cope with 19 have reported exhaustion dizzy spells and problems formulating words. researchers are now trying to determine what the

long term effects of the infection are they already have a good idea to do. so among the most common symptoms are various disorders in 92 percent of the cases they usually disappear within $4.00 to $5.00 weeks but we don't know about the remaining 10 percent will the disorders become permanent we know that some patients suffer from strokes even patients who are younger and have no history of blood vessel risk factors. dementia could be another neurological long term effect christan coming c.-o. still has problems remembering a possible effect of the virus he doesn't belong to a high risk group and yet the fireman was put in an artificial coma for 17 days 3 months later his perception is still strongly affected. when fitted if i have to deal with a lot of things all at once getting those tossed on

a still very difficult for me i have to admit. neurologist peter bell that says that a 3rd of 1000 patients admitted to the intensive care unit have diffuse brain damage that won't improve in the short term due to its this is typically manifested by the fact that patients have memory problems as well as difficulties paying attention and concentrating they could also start getting confused they show signs of perceiving things wrong or they have a loser nations so it's often accompanied by anxiety and restlessness and here. they also determine that the kidney is the 2nd most affected organ. the. baby when. caught the coronavirus his kidneys failed he was put in an artificially induced coma for a month. please next moment. i had such a moment of happiness i woke up to a forest of chooks and all around me were people who said i should open my eyes i

started crying at that point on topic on. the coronavirus can do lasting damage to the kidneys like causing a kidney infection a part of the organ dies in that case and becomes dead scar tissue. does it wasn't syria verse about the kidney can compensate somewhat so you don't notice it immediately but you only have so much kidney and all of a sudden half of it discard tissue that has a lasting effect because the scar tissue doesn't recover. when young people especially don't even notice that their kidneys aren't working to full capacity but the older they get the more they'll feel the consequences. breathing in deeply and filling the body with air.
