no instead they're there like never you never see. the research team to the pacific to. the job starts to force on g.w. . each one the fox has the natural right to clean the clean water. system but for many this is a distant dream because these people bear the maximum norm before collective extractive practices made pollution before the station of destruction of the local ecosystem hockey and for environmental justice is sold the boers who more than is

needed when i talk about that over the next 30 minutes how long welcome to equal india that i. to understand environmental justice better we 1st need to look at social justice poverty is a huge hurdle to cross before prioritizing environmental sustainability in india the catastrophe cries and the number of call with 1000 cases has brought the country to a standstill a severe shortage of beds oxygen cylinders vaccinations and even cremation spots has meant that the poorest of the poor could have a slim chance at beating the disease india's urban poor often living in slums or informal settlements have always struggled to get basic facilities beach health care clean water or access to sanitation bizarrely on some occasions these facilities are in accessible because of a lack of a clear address for

a false report before call with 19 wallsend in india we met an architect helping strike through this basic of wood block for many residents in call up or. in western india home to nearly 4000000 people like in most indian cities many inhabitants live in slums haphazard settlements usually excluded from urban planning policies and difficult to navigate until recently finding an exact location was impossible over 1700 families live here it's a legal settlement but no one has an individual address. today however this pizza delivery is being made right up to one doorstep. and it's thanks to this unique number a google plus called based on the latitude and longitude location of a place. it's a blessing for good she runs an electronics store next door and often needs to order supplies online she now uses

a plus cord as address and google maps and says the material is delivered right to her home i love all this is the code i've been given for the accurate location earlier if someone wanted to come and deliver to our house or have a relative who was visiting he had to call us and we had to guide him on the phone using landmarks like rickshaw stands or nearby shops and i believe we had to sometimes go and pick him up now i have none of those hassles one of us and i like . the plus cords of the work but it was all she and her team the architect and founder of the non-governmental organization shelters who sits has been using data to improve conditions in shantytowns they work across 7 cities in the state of maharashtra. the digital and chris is the most recent initiative for which they've partnered with google they put up a slum up on the board she starts like this they. put every house you know you see the location address that we have put down it's going to be a game changer because now there will be an address for every house which is never

the case give us loan you want to get in now i'm going to have an emergency the fire out we thank you kate. you can give me credit for going make sure that you get picked up a circular doorstep but he was team have mapped and marked this whole slew of the largest in the city of course but not everyone understands the initiative this man says he has no idea what the board with the numbers meant for he doesn't own a smartphone and has never heard of google and google going to do little that's the reason but he must conduct regular information sessions. explaining what class cords are and what they can be used for for example getting the cooking gas cylinders delivered to the doorsteps if you were to look at a lot of it at the destination look on what a concept is still new but many young residents here have smartphones and already use google maps individual addresses could help residents open bank accounts and access services more easily in the future the technology i mean look simple at

creating the plus cords is far from easy. 230 kilometers away in the city of bonnie a team of data analysts work at the ngos main office this specialized in using a graphic information system so-called mapping. led the use satellite images as well as mapping to generate as accurate a digital quest as possible a tricky task. what you see is interested roof right you don't know what's happening under the roof and you might think this is one house and every wall on the ground you later to find it actually a tree i don't know that so you cannot just you can sack like rent for it if you're going to just know that there is absolutely no substitute for feet resistance and feed mapping. the architect says the same method is also used to map infrastructure in the slums for public toilets manholes grain networks don't want to stand by and

garbage but it's all the data is on the website this is very useful even for an administrator's sitting at their desk if they can just open up these maps and then they can see ok what we're now the networks that we were really the water department they can just literally go through every 2nd month and see what is the outreach of walked up in that particular settlement so this is a we gave them the money for me gave her is the foundation is this experience buying off anything that you undertake the restaurant critic wasn't really that is in. the details also allowed but to make a big push into sanitation in more slums the only option for residents to relieve themselves a community toilets like these which often like running water involve long waiting times and cause health hazards because of unsanitary conditions. what the most focused as an individual toilets in this settlement call up all the team found

through the mapping that there was a shortage of rain then what's the data pinpointed the exact location of a few existing lines that connected to the city's train network making it easier for minnesota cortis to know where to live the new sewage like that is essential for toilets to people involved in this project brings an addition on your part and works for the city's sanitation department he says the data provided by the us group has helped improve services and cut rates of open definition the dark by really important for you if you know the exact location of mine all exact location of where the line is going to mainline or where out of the chamber. then it is very useful to clean the brilliance really of their gear when redeemer dark or poor. this rio we are 1st in the model will be because in the research. the length of networks has kicked off a toilet building spree creating jobs for masons and laborers the n.-g. o.

provides the building material families who can afford to pay for the construction subcultural pretty recently got her own toilet built for the 1st time and says it's given her a feeling of safety and privacy i don't know if you will pay i have a teenage daughter and using the community toilet in the slum is dangerous especially at night men used to hang around and harass us with drains been laid we decided to build a toilet in our own home. across going up or but they must have facilitated the construction of close 220000 individual toilets to date the mapping technology has gone a long way towards creating a safer and cleaner environment for residents means having a more livable slum. making sure that people have basic rights can lead them to finding ways to also fight for environmental justice but what about climate justice if you want to stand who is responsible for climate change and who

was most impacted then you know who have to address these demands to put a fair solution let's look at this in detail. climate justice. climate justice now. that we have more and more. climate justice linked to racial justice social justice intergenerational justice this is why we call not only for climate action but climate justice 2 words but could define the century there's no climate justice without racial justice there is no cause. just as with. c climate justice with we're done. but what exactly does climate change have to do with justice. in this together. to understand climate justice we need to understand climate injustice who cause of climate change

and who's hurt by it let's 1st look at who's responsible for putting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and heating the planet. imagine this grain of rice is one tonne of carbon dioxide each year the average person in nigeria obsolescent one grain into the atmosphere of the average person in india 2 grand in china 7 grains in germany 10 grains in the us 17 grains in one year the average american please 20 times more than the average in nigeria. but the problem with carbon is that it stays trapped in the atmosphere for centuries so it's not just about how much we had each year it's about how much was piled up at the time since 850 that adds up to about 1500 gigatons. ok so we want to pull loads of these rice bags on the table to show you how big that really is but after doing the math we realized we need 3000000 of them. historical emissions matter today because countries are arguing

about how soon they have to cut their emissions down to their big polluters like china india and brazil less guilty when you consider they've only recently become part of the problem. but that doesn't tell us anything about you know why are. there says prakash cush one a political scientist researching climate justice he said the rich countries haven't accepted how unjust climate change really you. just might the kind of inequality. there are going to be couldn't play with christ they're unbelievable and they aren't talked about enough. in 2020 research just how much later how each country is responsible for pushing cyr to levels beyond a safe threshold that we crossed in 1900 the study takes into account how many people live in

a country how much they emitted throughout history and include the mission of the cross border through trade goods and. the research shows that countries have outspent their carbon budgets by a lot the global north of the method 92 percent of the c o 2 that push the planet beyond safe levels asia africa the middle east and latin america have emitted just 8 percent and even a mass of the middle china has only just using up its carbon budget now. but if you live in a country that runs on fossil fuel with climate change is your fault personally but some of your choices do still make a difference. because not just about where you live but also how much you spend the world's richest one percent of it's twice as much of the poorest 50 percent and the delete live all over the world. on equal emissions are one big reason why climate activists are shouting about justice. and everyone already is.

but if we look at. germany and. supplanted by the same amount whether it comes from germany or kenya the climate doesn't care about geography well. because about the climate. the 2nd part of climate injustices that even the poor countries have done the least to change the climate they're the ones getting hurt the most. take heat wave been dropped. heatwave the becoming the most unbearable across africa where droughts are even more punishing for crops. than the storms. mean that hurricane and typhoons carry more energy and more rain and stronger winds across the tropics. and by 2050 sea levels will have risen so high that floods

which used to hit once a century will strike many coastal cities every single year. the inequalities of climate change come to the hardest in a country like india even those people have barely contributor to global warming they're among the most vulnerable india's coastal cities are facing unprecedented floods while its rivers dry up even pharma struggling to grow staples like rice and wheat. india has one of the most equitable countries in the world and. what we can see is that even if you take a city like mumbai. in this city it's the poor are the most impacted. this pile product a climate scientist who campaigns full time for climate justice having grown up in a country like india. i grew up with inequality all around me and this is

essentially what it comes down to the world is very unequal and it's playing out in terms of climate change as well but that inequality is found within rich countries to black and brown people in countries like the u.s. would be u.k. are typically poorer than white people and that means they have less money to spend on air conditioning to add up to heat waves or flood insurance to rebuild after storms. so how can we make it fairer. while polluting countries can 1st time off the c o 2 top and start removing the pollution from the atmosphere then they could pay reparations for using up more than their fair share of emissions. some countries income. he's already doing something similar by paying poor countries to not chop down forests and instead park trees but instead of using that save carbon to a turn for the climate dress they're using it as an excuse to keep on the mitten. so can they do operations have to be part of that discussion on climate debt in particular is way we think about is you know we kind of does find out who is

responsible for the kinds of the lodgepole changes and. climate changes we are seeing in societies but also the kinds of climate induced disasters that countries are freezing. this is customary a political economist studying climate justice he says reparations and needed to balance the scales but that they won't be enough. it is an interim measure when i see that i mean it has to be we have to have a sort of much more. conversation about the economic system that's. been cultivated globally that have resulted in these kinds of what do we do not only reform that system but absolutely call it. reparations might sound radical but rich countries already agreed to pay poor ones to adapt to climate change

imagine each of the peter's $1000000000.00 us dollars rich countries promised a 100 of them each year in climate finance by 2020 but it's 2021 and they haven't coughed up in 2018 they gave 80000000000 but most of it was learns not ground. based charity oxfam found that the relaid was actually closer to 20000000000. yeah we have not been meeting the kinds of targets. the evil global north countries have set themselves that finance mechanism is not men actually solved. another approach takes climate justice literally holding polluters to account in court to deadly wildfires tore through portugal and $2176.00 young activists took $33.00 industrial countries to the european court of human rights for failing to cut their emissions quickly. they argue that the countries are discriminating against young people who have to live with the consequences of climate change the verdict is still pending. in germany and the netherlands

high court judges have ordered their governments to up the ambitions on cutting emissions activists also want to case against royal dutch shell forcing the company to pay for oil pollution and are now demanding climate friendly investments to. the basically go argument for assigning responsibility is your contribution to the problem so how much. how much do you contribute to climate change greenhouse gas emissions and what is the possibility. for contributing to the solution. the defendants argue that national courts have the right to rule on the climate because emissions and the impacts are global but if you generate an activist are fighting for them to take exactly that responsibility and give them time it justice. one of the biggest roadblock standing in the way of in watchmaking justice is that you can

a lot more money destroying an ecosystem than protecting it in the wetlands of east coast there's a symbiotic ecosystem for the fishermen and small fall was who work and live here but construction companies have been eyeing this wasp for top area for a while now looking to replace it what's frank you residential complexes and commercial centers. of some 260 songs sampling business and farming the east concord when it's all said to be one of the largest natural sewage treatment systems in the world despite neighboring a city of almost 15000000 people pollution in the right has not been a big problem a paradox that some of the surgeons are describing syndicate others american. water coming from kolkata ends up in the very crowded in here and growth it is helping to provide the city with an important resource. the city of coca could not.

did not need a separate sewage treatment plan for which you'd have to spend lots and lots of money so these veterans actually subsidize that treatment and provided inexpensive food and vegetables and you know fish vegetables and body so that those with lin's could also try and the city of whole got that would also it's right. if you have a wizard to the city of chances are you have sampled food harvested from the east where. the community managed ecosystem provides an estimated $11000.00 tons of fish each year and supplies up to 50 percent of the produced when it encounters markets . 52 year old shivani montanus. i've been working in brooklyn fish for the last 22 years like most women in the community

a world did typically starts with getting the scum off the water surface and removing weeds from benteke to ensure the pond stay clean and the fish healthy can both the livelihoods of local people and the city's rest want to manage depend on the help cost this lush by owner. regular testing of the wrist water at these pumping stations confirms that sewage has already low levels of heavy metals and is well suited for organic chrisman city sewage i mean i suppose sewage is 99 percent water and one percent fecal matter which contains fecal bacteria called. or equal it is this equal i that needs to be treated which is of a harmful character and which can cause his issues but it is the best to treat this like through the fish growing process in the fish pond and this algae bacteria symbiosis is run by the bacteria if you like and i'll be exchange and outside an

people who are being pressured by a developer and are probably considering that option but i think almost the 1st one to stay on here and have the ecosystem try. for the estimated 130000 people who live here and depend on the records livelihood and security is the biggest threat diffused today many farmers have no formal right to live or work in the records where the land is historical arrangements need farmers often pay no rent giving land owners little incentive to keep. those these people are not very very versed in the in the laws of the land as such and they don't even have livelihood rights over here to new day lands that. they can often be forced to. go off the land and that land appropriated for various other but since. a few

kilometers of the common cock and high schools and the students are learning about the importance of understanding and conserving the records i wasn't referring to the workshop i taught the wetlands for on the earth for both sides now we know how much this purified and what i meant the things on the beach. not been and some of the founders of a collective called disappearing sticklebacks to preserve india's had they are seeking to bridge the knowledge gap for these children many of whom live in the recommenders. personally i feel like a kid of who has so much to offer so there it is the traditional practices the sustainable living their real sokol economy whereas professional. i feel this so much to learn rather to give the box some practical skills like traditional humble

deep. and recycling techniques the larger goal is to promote a sense of ownership for these wetlands with the hope that future generations guly understand the value of this unique ecosystem. our planet belongs to each one of us if some of us are consuming more than others to start with we can be a very and mindful of this and then take action in whatever small or big we we can to make it better for others who inhabit this planet with us i'll leave you with that part and see you again next week from all of us in india and germany goodbye and thank you for watching. on next week's show we focus on release and follows the starting of india we move through god lives together to keep demonstrating some discipline and then across must be a community based fighting against plans of out of the mind that threatens the bias of things blocks of good so i'll stick. with.
