to 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 called in 1000 cases has brought the country to a standstill a serious 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 19 wallsend in india we met an architect helping strike through this basic avoid block for many residents in. 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 where 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 on line she now uses

a plus cord as address on 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 delivered to our house or of a relative 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 or the work of but he 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 shanty towns they work across 7 cities in the state of maharashtra. the digital of chris is the most recent initiative for which they've bought not with google they put up a slum up on the board. for 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 the address for every house which is never

the case in the vast loan you want to get from now i'm going to have an emergency there's a fire out there anything. you can give me credit for going to make sure that you get picked up a circular saw step. have mapped and marked this whole slope of the largest in the city of course but not everyone understands the initiative this man says he has no idea what the border 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 their doorsteps if you were to look at a lot of it at the destination look back on a much the concept is still new but many young residents here have smartphones and on grady 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 but creating the glasgow is far from easy when you're only 230 kilometers away in the city of bani a team of data analysts work at the n.g.o.s 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 address as possible a tricky task in a slum 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 might get actually a tree how do you know that so you cannot just you would just act like it meant for it you don't just know that there is absolutely no substitute for feet visits and feed mapping. the architect says the seed method is also used to map infrastructure in the slums for public toilets manholes green networks water stand posts and

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

through the mapping that there was a shortage of arrangement works the detail pinpointed the exact location of a few existing lines that connected to the city's train network making it easier for minister blair qualities to know where to lead the new city which like that is essential for toilets to be but really 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 bus group has helped improve services and cut rates of open devastation in the dark by a really important project if you know the exact location of mine all the exact location of where the line is going to mainline or where out of the chamber. then it is very useful to glean the benevolence really that they're given redeemer dart board. this rio we are 1st in the model because in the free city if the length of crane that works 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 like it is more 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 being 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. 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 2 words that we hear more and more. climate justice is meant to racial justice social justice intergenerational justice this is why we call not only for climate protection but climate just 2 words that could define the century there's no climate justice without racial justice the top. just as with. climate justice with where john. but what exactly does climate change have to do with justice. real 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 it's less than one grain into the atmosphere the average person in india 2 grains in china 7 grains in germany 10 grains in the us 17 grains in one year the average american pleats 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 put a load of these right by of on the table to show you how big that really is but after doing the math we realize we need 3000000 of them. historical emissions matter today because countries arguing about how soon they have to cut their

emissions down to their big polluters like china india and brazil look a lot less guilty when you consider they've only recently become part of the problem. and in the end 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 is. it's my inequalities. there are going to be couldn't climate crisis they're unbelievable and they aren't talked about enough. in 2020 research just touch it and how each country is responsible for pushing syria 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 of goods and. the research shows that countries have outspent their carbon budgets by a lot the global north of the mid 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 like china has only just using up its carbon budget now. but if you live in a country that runs on fossil fuel of the earth doesn't mean 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 elite live all over the world. on equal emissions are one big reason why climate activists are shouting about justice. everyone already is.

but if we look at. germany and sitting at. a planet 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 the most. to take heat wave and drought . heatwave the becoming the most unbearable across africa where droughts are even more punishing for crows. than the storms. mean that hard 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 inequality the 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 leaving pharma struggling to grow staples like rice and wheat. india is one of the. equitable countries in the world and. we we can see is that even if you take a city like mumbai. in this city it's the poor are the most impacted. there says pile price 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 a 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 country of income. it's already doing something similar by paying poor countries to not chop down forests and instead countries but instead of using that save carbon to a turn for the climate debts they're using it as an excuse to keep on a minute or. so can they do operations have to be part of that discussion on climate debt in particular is where we think about who is you

know we kind of do find out who is responsible for the kinds of political changes and. climate changes we are seeing in societies but also the kinds of climate in these disasters that countries off easy. this is customary a political economist studying climate justice he says reparations a 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 longer to him conversation about economic system that to be. neutered uncultivated globally that have resulted in these kind of and what do we do to not only reform that system but absolutely overhaul it. preparations might sound radical but rich countries already agreed to pay poor ones to adapt to climate change imagine each of these pages $1000000000.00 u.s.

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 2018 they gave 80000000000 but most of it was learned is not grown u.k. based charity oxfam found that the real aid was actually closer to 20000000000. yeah we have not been meeting the kinds of targets. that did the evil global north countries have set themselves that finance mechanism is not meant to actually solve the problem. another approach takes climate justice. holding polluters to account in court. 2017. took $33.00 industrial countries to the european court of human rights for failing to cut their emissions. they argue that the country to discriminate people who have to live with the consequences of climate change the verdict is still pending. in

germany and the netherlands judges have governments. on cutting emissions. also want to case against. forcing the company to pay for oil pollution and climate friendly investments to. the basic legal argument for. the responsibility. to the problem so. how much. greenhouse gas emissions and what is the possibility. for. the solution. the defendants argue that national courts have the right to rule on the climate because emissions in the impacts of global. fighting for them to take exactly that responsibility and give them time it justice. one of the biggest reward blocks standing in the way of in washington justice is that you can own more

money destroying an ecosystem than protecting it in the wetlands of east course there's a symbiotic ecosystem for the fishermen and small farm was who work and live here but construction companies have been eyeing this wass for top area for a while now looking to replace it what's frank you residential complexes and commercial centers. amongst that of some $260.00 song settling because it's a family it's the east kolkata where it's 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 to some researches are described in debate 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 plant 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 paddy so that the veterans could also try and the city of whole got acquittals that's right. if you have ellen visited the city of chances are you have sampled food harvested from the east i went to the community managed ecosystem provides an estimated $11000.00 tonnes of fish each year and supplies 50 percent of the produce to religion in concord as mark says. 52 year old shivani mountain. i've been working in brighton and fished for the last 22 years like most women in the community

a work day typically starts with getting his cum off the water surface and removing beads from benteke to ensure the ponds stay clean and the fish healthy can both the livelihoods of local people and the city's raced want to manage depend on the help cost this lush bionet book. regular testing of the wrist water and these pumping stations confirms that sewage has already low levels heavy mountains and is well suited for organic creek meant city sewage i mean a simple sewage is 99 percent water and one percent fecal matter which contains fecal bacteria called. or equal it is this equal area that needs to be treated which is a harmful character and which can cause him to choose but it is the best to treat this like through the fish growing process in the fish pond and this i'll give bacteria symbiosis is run by the bacteria people like and l.b.

pressured by a developer and 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 on the record his 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 the land. because 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 zealand said. 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 importance of understanding and conserving. i guess i'm deferring to the workshop i talk to wetlands for on the right now we know how much this purified and the water mental things on the beach. and some of the founders of the collective called disappearing sticker wants 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 you get up to has so much to offer whether it is the traditional practices the sustainable living there your socal economy various professions. i feel there's so much to learn rather to get a box from practical skills like traditional hunting deep. and recycling techniques

the larger goal is to promote a sense of ownership for these wetlands with the hope that future generations my only interest in 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 of error and mindful of this and then take action in whatever small or big we we can to make it better for all those 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 should we focus on. the stopping of india remove the flu god it is joining together to keep demonstrating some discipline and then across must be a unity in this fighting against class of look to the mind that threatens the war by some things lots of good so i'll stick.
