hard to find a cure on to the succeeded when i was 7. even at that age i learned to discern which was used for a lot of the beers sort of the gag in the morning and then to give the client a cup but beyond that by a committee. later she did her master's in human rights because then called to a project by the end non-mental john they couldn't forest organization based in tamil nadu as a herbal health worker. she formed self-help groups that would encourage them and to set up god's souls and produce close to 40 herbal remedies cosmetics and organic food helping these very men on a living man for the 1st time at. all for it sustainably from nearby forest and kitchen gardens dried and hand processed and sold at lonmin in the course starting at 42 p. to nearby villages and organic and submissions so they want to do that and i and

a lot of the and they have an idea if you see in our village for instance the most common problems are in back pain any part for that are used locally sourced herbs to make an order that eases the pain we have paved the way for the natives to use it easy man and wait a long that i'm audie at the end which across. the remote village of not to cooper is one of the most advantaged regions in the district. near the vehement world as cheap labor to use for as this and franchised house. to the sometimes group they have gained a certain degree of independence. my family didn't let me study i got mattered as soon as i completed my 12th standard in school after i b.b.q. and one i attended meetings of a self-help group calling anybody interested in working with. at 1st i was skeptical about how i would work with a young kid and by that i could work with others in the team and i know. the neighboring and 9 nursery here plans are grown for other. self-help groups as well

as for home gardeners across the state. tell you we have the most sustainability is one of our most important principles. it was the home of the law and then a final who said i mean i wanna know if i need 500 plants i take only 500 seeds the rest will fall down and will become forest again only if we uproot plants will it impact the forest and that god area that in the view of the resume to become forest again there is normal risk of destruction here or that one of them might have been a god of god whatever you and i have the and. sustainability is the key driver that ran through all the self-help groups set up by poverty she tells us how they have come to create a system that guarantees it. a lot of the source if they're not in there is

a local resource and it's an abundance you plan on how we can create value added products from it in case there is a shortage of any plant we decide on how one can reap propagated out of money a lot of them a bit and again it was a little. thanks to part with the in our garage inspiring work have found their way back to our kitchens and hundreds of women have become pregnant for their families. women stand of the frontline of climate change you may have seen this on the news but what does this mean exactly and why are women facing higher risks by the impact of climate change let's take an in-depth look. all around the world women are leading movements that call for governments to take action against climate change in a crisis that's manmade and you're taking the biggest toll on women women are among

the groups most impacted by climate change but why. all the time lisa stingel a stocking and its members challenge for it's going to challenge for women in many developing countries men leave rural areas migrating to the city to find work and women are left to take care of their families and their farms relying on the natural resources most impacted by climate change to live. on prevailing inequalities across society got them at higher risk. let's take the example of women farmers worldwide women make up at least 43 percent of the agricultural workforce and yet less than 15 percent of all landowners are women . that means their land 10 years. security is nonexistent in many cases this is seaman khayyam

a policy adviser on sustainable development and acting chief for economic empowerment at the un women they don't have the same access as men to agricultural inputs by that we mean seeds and fertilizer and equipment and knowledge and technology so when there is a climate change impact whether it's. extreme weather events or prolonged periods of heat or cold women have fewer economic resources to be able to withstand those shocks. those are just some of the direct impact climate related disasters can also lead to further hardship and increased poverty in some cases parents are unable to feed their children and take desperate measures. even

a 1516 year old or. girls are trafficked this is a matter of chatter g a community worker at the south asian forum for environment more safe based in calcutta sometimes. out of sheer poverty. and you tend to say that and getting her mad it a guy who are. some maybe are among the relatedness and most cases you find those marriages end up in human trafficking but women are not just impacted by climate change being on the front lines puts them in a unique position to find ways of adapting by creating climate resilient food systems working to preserve food and forming co-operatives because women were left to do all the work that allows communities to so i mean with or nonwork culturally women at the expertise that's vandana shiva a prominent indian environmental activist who's been working in the field for more

than 40 years scenes of compassion and there are presumed it limits to the culture . that they won't come into to marginalisation it's not only on the ground that women can have an impact currently women make up around a quarter of all national parliamentarians but there's evidence to suggest that if there were more it could bring change. there are studies that have shown that if you have women in parliament. those countries are have a greater likelihood of in the acting and enforcing legislation that addresses climate change. activists say there needs to be representation at all levels only then can progress be made in the fight against climate change.

the knowledge and skills of women are priceless here in the crowded city of mumbai deep in the arctic forest a lot of this knowledge and traditions are still very lively but the extremes are been moved by. a local social entrepreneur wanted to make the secrets of our indigenous women. our a forest is full of ancient trees and wild animals. 2000 acres of stunning nature in the midst of mumbai india's 2nd most populous city. sandra nazareth is a businesswoman and activist from the mega city in 2020 she took part in a protest against plans to clear part of the forest to make room for a trolley station the protest succeeded because sandra is still drawn to the woods . you i'm walking into i have a plank disable forest and i will be discovered

a community which probably needs more flaming than the part of. around 7000 indigenous people live in are a forest. you do not look like are you if you look at it and you think you are actually going to be never going to be all over again many poor baby will there's a little but i don't know what i believe old at all but you know what. women like to rake a book could you cook steamed rice sweets a traditional dish of the while the tribe. was under nazareth helps the women of our a forest find customers in mumbai this helps them earn money and increases their self-confidence . and many of them did. before madame nazareth came here we were too shy to talk but then she looked people in the face and told them

to speak up even now she encourages us to talk openly and courageously with the authorities. and this well was clogged but now water flows once again i don't know from mumbai recently paid 275000 through. p.s. or 3000 euros to build a new well women now have more time and independence to do other activities rather than fetching water. they don't have the luxury of getting water with. you don't they have to sort of for the what. village where. before there were no toilets here. but they were made available to be no drinking water facility but they gave us drilled wells and flour mills before that happened we had to go a long way for water but now it's available near our homes. now the arts of the

people also covers these bags because sandra nazareth sells them online and the proceeds go to the women. in this who are really tribal art is well known in the world and i'm happy i know how to do it madame nazareth gave me painting supplies and pays me for it. women here have also learned other ways to create an income for themselves. they sell her other plants from the forest. a letter certain stomach elements and this is her heart problems the medicine is made from these. although the wyly are in contact with the modern world they still try to honor their tradition as with this wedding. the bride was a stunning traditional dress. the groom makes offerings to the day it they believe live in trees. a bundle of

sacred twigs symbolizes the forest as a witness to the marriage. i've learnt a lot in the clay interaction with these women they've pushed me in ways if i'm pushing them to be better i'll be able to push them. as cassandra nazareth his name is too far into the wyly they call her cash meaning light the spark was kindled by both sides now they work together to protect the lost of mumbai's green lungs and the survival of the indigenous people of our a forest. indeed when women go from being invisible to visible the whole society benefits let's know me to a young champion of the it body and i want to honor from russia is yet another example of how women can shape the world for the better she's devised a word right if we use to encourage people to plant truths to ship overseas 6000

while doing that with a plan for the forest project. what looks like random bunches of greenery are in fact pine tree saplings thousands of them already for planting marianna meone ciano explains how it's done it's very simple you place the sampling in the hole then fill that with earth and ship the saplings firmly betted in 8000 saplings are due to be planted today here on the outskirts of moscow marianna munteanu asked for help online and an army of volunteers has responded she regularly invites members of the public to help air. rushes forests of taking quite a beating in recent years huge areas have been devastated by wildfires pests like bark beetles pose a further challenge russia has more force than any other country trees cover nearly

half of this vast land. i think doing this since 2010 there were terrible wildfires back then throughout the whole of russia i saw a picture of huge wellestablished trees being blown across the fields by the wind they were breaking off like matchsticks. marianna studied economics and initially worked in finance but she quit her job to devote all her attention to reforestation you can change the world one small step at a time and people will pull together for a good cause. everybody here wants to help people become more aware of nature again and courage them to do their bit to protect the environment. i want our planet to be as intact as possible so that we have healthy air to breathe and leave our children and grandchildren an environment in which they can

live well our environment is sick i don't want to like further injuries on the natural world. back in her moscow apartment she's able to relax after all the hard work but she never loses sight of her goal but you can see change in my earth and this is my mission in life i want to achieve great things for the benefit of society of the planet and nature played looked at odds good afternoon my name is marianne hunting and i'm president of the russian climate fund was the good . work has long since expanded beyond planting trees together with other environmental activists she puts out her own podcast in a bid to get the message out to more people but she's also developed a mobile game app called plant the forest the aim is to promote interest in the well being of trees income from the app goes to plant new saplings. i knew

plenty more on the gamer has to collect points which then allow him to plant trees the idea is to inspire users so that they stop being indifferent towards our trees and so that they want to help with reforestation. even with no thought. back to the forest on the outskirts of moscow it's time for lunch in the past 10 years marianna monty are new and her helpers have planted more than a 1000000 trees that's the equivalent of around 1300 soccer fields a large number of volunteers of all ages have helped to make it possible last year she was selected by the united nations for the young champion of the earth award. soon this area should once again be a strong healthy forest hopefully strong enough to withstand all the challenges of the future. when it comes to an independent life and earning

a living many women still shy away from founding their companies but many who are often looking for a cause to support beat a social or mental cause we've met a few such entrepreneurs in germany. rolls and rolls of patterned material christina and her husband are selecting the most suitable to use for their next batch of beeswax wraps. your we use organic cotton coated with a layer of bees wax tree resin and hobo oil which the 3 components together of what we paint on to the material the mixture is the secret behind the wraps. and the great thing is that these wax cloth allows food to breathe at the same time as keeping it moist. condensation doesn't develop and that's basically why plastic wrap food often goes. up plastic.

the mother of 2 developed her prototypes 3 years ago in her own kitchen with lots of wax and an iron she'd come across bees wax cloth while she was studying to be a graphics designer in the us. since we were always using so much plastic clingfilm which can't be recycled i thought ok bees wax cloth is a great alternative but i want to know what it's made of and i want to use raw materials from europe that's how i started making it in my kitchen. there's a lot of manual work involved the high level of wax in the mixture means the cloth stick together once they're made they have to be separated by hand cristina's our insists on manufacturing in berlin and pays her employees fairly. so 2 beeswax cloths are quite expensive at 10 euros but they can be reused for up to

a year part of women's entrepreneurship right now is entrepreneurship in general is seeing this the emergence of what we call impact investing and use social entrepreneurship. christine as business idea has created 20 jobs here. there are plenty of women who want to go out and profits and there's an important thing to them but by and large the gym data really speaks very directly to this this idea that when it comes to prayer ties in social schools of my own middle schools and economic goals men tend to prayer ties economic goals or other goals women tend to pray or try as social goals or other goals. it can be a long slog before a female entrepreneur can live off her profits in berlin's meant to distract the vibe of the chuffed female entrepreneurs center helps women who want to become self-employed it offers support in developing

a business plan brokering micro credits there's even a day care center it's this support that the more than 70 members value about this co-operative treasure and also need as one home follows but with the spirit of 1st of all it's far harder for a woman to set up and business there is a systemic disadvantaging of women here in germany they're supposed to take on the nurturing work meaning they do much more work in the family and they earn less than men. that raises the hurdles for setting up a business. women tend to found service companies rather than tech companies and it's hard for them to find commercial space which also needs to be close to home so that they can also take care of the family. before moving are by the lies. the rents in the co-operative are well below average something fashion designer caught in the yard and that it's from. she's been producing her own fashion collections for 10 years her materials are all organic made in weaving mills in

germany austria and elsewhere in europe. she wants to take a stand against the fast turnover cheap textiles industry. mock what we buy today is definitely too cheap so basically you shouldn't be able to sell clothing at those prices because i know what the cost here are like even if we consider economies of scale what's on offer here is still too cheap that devalues the garments along with the people who make them we simply can't do that to each other . ethically made high value clothes have their price address here cost 600 euros a top 170 cotton says the priority for her customers used to be well dressed now many have a keen interest in where the clothes are made because tina also found customers quickly her beeswax wraps are now sold in 1000 shops across europe the annual

turnover is a 7 figure sum but she doesn't want to exports to asia africa or the u.s. . because i wanted to make a sustainable product right from the start because i said to myself we have these rule materials in europe if we shipped them overseas the c o 2 emissions would be catastrophic. but she can imagine setting up production abroad using locally sourced raw materials and a local office for the local market. i hope to raise episode. to empower and enable the. good for the environment and put this aside to seek them out of your community and give them a path of the back i'll leave you with that part and see you again next week with many working stories from our entire team in india and germany good buy.
