your window into their, their life that you would never, you never see your company never research team to the pacific to the language of wales, june 4th on d. w. in the welcome to global 3000 computers and combs smartphone. they inevitably land in the trash one day, but the potential for recycling is immense. mozambique, 2 years of dislike. e die. we learn how one coastal city is. i think its defenses against future catastrophe. but 1st,
10:31 am
we find out how singapore is mixing different ethnic groups and economic backgrounds to solve its housing challenge. ah, an affordable home it's deficient size in a good location, a rarity in many cities, and only for the wealthy. according to the un access to adequate housing is a basic human right. get estimates suggest 1800000000 people currently lack that access by 2030, it could be as many as 3000000000. the un says $96000.00 affordable apartments would need to be built every day in order to make adequate housing universally accessible. it's time for government to get involved. some cities and countries already provide for social or public housing programs. but these very hugely social housing accounts for almost 40 percent of the netherlands, total housing stock in south. it's just under 10 percent. while in germany it's
10:32 am
less than 3 percent. most countries have little or no social housing. it's all. we take a look at us that he states this turn that around singapore. there used to be a room here. i have no. okay, don't create more space for the kids. if you're a designer and father of for if my one is proud of his 2 bedroom apartment which is furnished in the style of a yard. in my way, it's a creative realization of singapore social housing. he had less but it is a good space to work out to pay the kids while they are growing up. but then you need more space for them as they grow up. but he's a good start for any family, for small family they acquired the apartment as part of
10:33 am
a program in which the state sales properties are well below market value. the ones will have to live in it for at least 5 years. they could have rented instead, but, but the government offers incentives to buyers. so for somebody, you get to have additional guns that we have you, we've purchased the house. so we to help a lot in the house who who around 80 percent of singapore and live in the state subsidized departments. they're referred to as h d. b, which stands for housing development board for decades. k kelly, you was an urban planner for the h d. b,
10:34 am
his designs had to be inexpensive, practical and quick to build. the units were rentals at 1st, but converting them to owner occupied units brought many advantages. people will look after the inside the home calling villages only this message don't take care, but now you see the cory doors, the comp content is very well taken care of because they own the place. they don't want to do any damage. singapore, the government realizes that high quality, affordable public housing encourages social cohesion take care of you explains that this game was not just about building housing. it was about creating communities, spaces, were doctors and car mechanics, painters and musicians all live side by side. also, one thing we learn is they will put the poor family with the reach us and me to get the children were learned, good business reach them,
10:35 am
and so they will improve them so much faster. the public housing estates are designed as a melting pot. it's not just rich and poor who live side by side multicultural thing for also implemented a quota to ensure a mix of ethnic groups and h d p estate and prevent the formation of enclaves as a real estate agent. ron schon, can't sell this 2 bedroom apartment in a prime location to just any buyer. he has to take care to observe the government integration policy at the moment for this location. this is a, this is a chinese, so generally speaking, if a chinese by a common law, we don't see much of problems. but if you have other races sometimes, then we have to check, you know, is it available for them? yeah,
10:36 am
this apartment is expected to fetch around 800000 euros. relatively new properties can be resolved for a sizable profit over time, their value depreciates. after 99 years, the apartment blocks automatically revert to state ownership. but even then, the model usually pays off for the owners. you can decide whether to pick it up or not to pick it up. but if not, if the parcel land is not selected for this unblock your prices fall for the be, then the land actually go back to the got the state singapore style social housing was only made possible by a law that allowed to purchase land at low cost for public use today, most of the land is owned by the state. it's a top down model, but it enjoys wide popular acceptors, city in ismael, one or no exception. there 67 square meter apartment costs the equivalent of around $160000.00 euros. but they plan to upsize soon and are confident they'll get
10:37 am
a decent sale. price in my house is beautiful, differing from the flat. the ones have already paid off their mortgage. they know they'd never be able to afford to buy in the private sector. singapore has one of the world pricey as real estate market. singapore, social housing helps maintain social cohesion. but it cost the state about $1600000000.00 euros a year. there's a mixture of the 3. you don't fall on 5 wrong houses within a single structure. so that those people from different social background to mix and in each other with it, a stringent regulations and generous subsidies. singapore has created its own form
10:38 am
of public housing that's seen as a social asset and not a stigma. who now we had to a city facing rather different challenges beira in mozambique. 2 years ago, psycho need i hit the coastal city, growing countless homes and burying entire districts under water. hundreds of residents were killed and many thousands of the city is determined to ensure that she didn't often never happens. again. it's introduced and ambitious conservation program are reported to fun man. and his team headed to beta as part of our global ideas series and discovered that not everyone welcome the measures they saw before dawn fishermen in the city of pharaoh need to be out of the water all day to make it worth while. let's go
10:39 am
out every learned his trade from his father. he grew up in the fishing community of prya nova. today he heads up the local fishing cooperative and knows just where to get the best catch. get it, bring it in today, but times are hard. well, there are few of fish now. often there. net come up empty. the sea itself though it's a biggest worry. every year storm type in and their homes. shoes that go, but they destroy our boats or houses, entire villages. we think we need to leave, but where can we go and think there's nowhere to grow and then there are the psychologists of a staple. and the last one covered our houses in 10 meters of water. she was a 10 meter dish,
10:40 am
mid for the port city of bearer and its fishing industry. the sea is a vital source of income, but every november when the 2nd season starts, it becomes dangerous. so the city is investing in green infrastructure designed to absorb the destructive force of the flood was over the last 5 years. barrel has begun to restore the natural watercourses and basins mangrove had been planted along the banks flanked by large parks. the big green park at the centre covering $44.00 hector's of land is now almost complete. that he may bon, okay. he just come to inside of us, but that was the gardener's need to trim this area. again, it's dried out a bit unknown vocal cause these green areas are designed to have the fund holding back the worst from the city.
10:41 am
they have become a pioneer in green infrastructure on the african continent. okay. saw what we can do. we need to think about how we can continue living in the obviously how we can cope with the challenge of climate change without getting more problems for the city and damage. get there on the complet, i simply and sustainably, and develop a sustainable lifestyle for our city. and much more difficult to, i mean a bit up so that we will be safer and more prosperous and more attractive to businesses and trying to, you know, go to but it means that fishing community has to move. prior nova is located in a former mangrove slump, which will now be replanted. residents are being asked to move to camps on the edge of the city, like this one in my dreams he far away from the c form. a fisherman leandro manuel lost his home and his spoke to cycling e die in 2019. so he moved here voluntarily. he now lives from farming and is
10:42 am
building his own house. that ending in which i would never go back again. no one wants to return to that way of life because it's difficult to be dangerous the little think. it's like fighting a war and get them not against armed men, but against water. and water is not an easy opponent of our future it here, but not if we fold our arms, which goes we have to work hard, did english as dish the city authorities of it him and $200.00 other fishermen, small plots of land each on which to farm and build a home. it's an area that's safe from flooding and suitable for growing rice. but not everyone shares among was optimism the house of his neighbour, but not too much. hello, was flattened by powerful wind. mckenna would rather sell fish like he used to,
10:43 am
but that's not an option here. data, but even though we can't afford to travel to the sea and buy fish to sell it here. so no, no one could make a living that way. i'm not that much, i'm but i will. so we're growing rice instead, but the soil is depleted, so i work a lot. i mean this year we had a lot of rice, but because the range failed, everything is withers. once they got to put a casual job for the job, a city doing a visit to a residential area on the coast may a carriage appeals for support for his plans. ways brake has to be built in the sea, protecting the city from future floods. top priority, and he takes every opportunity to persuade local people of the need for change. he believes projects like the green park and the relocation of prior nova vital for this, that he's future. and he's hoping local residence will support him in no rush. but this is done, we do need to use all our knowledge and expertise to pull the city out of the swamp,
10:44 am
dot net, the naval stuff. that's why we're organizing big projects. paying out money because we want to govern better and serve the people better. instead of all different goals of ensuring that tomorrow we're no longer on the list of cities most threatened by climate change, dodge mice, sit davis, i was good on. this was gun just these does madame fiscal marks on the other side of the bay. the fisherman continue working over at the moment. relocation to the camps is voluntary. many realize that it's too dangerous to stay here long term, but round of rio and his colleague funded hard to believe they would make good farmers home deserted. i don't think moving to the camps the answer, whether darma or real maria. there's no point. why not protect the coast from erosion, and we stay here and continue to fish for our living. as the fishing cooperative of
10:45 am
prior know, via ended up finding a safe place to live. that is both close enough to the water and affordable. it's certainly not realistic. otherwise we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning packs like global ideas, deutscher fellows, environmental theories. we will show you how climate change ended mental conservation is taking shape around the world with teacher resources. as the reading educators can start right away. knowledge sharing, download it now, both free global ideas, learning backs. what is a circular economy? me cake and mt, disposable coffee cup. it goes in the pin shoes,
10:46 am
check them out. out of date, smoke production, use disposal, and then more production everyday life in the modern world. it always, it's a tremendous amount of valuable resources, including finite ones, like oil, gas and precious metals. our disposable society creates tons of dangerous weight, however, emphasizes some killer patterns. everything is a cycle to grow and when they die, then nutrients return to the soil. and then the cycle begins again. can we create such cycles so that the products we use today become the resources of tomorrow? yes, we can in the set killer economy air conditioners, refrigerators, laptops, smartphones, it's hard to imagine life without electronics. consumer demand continues to grow
10:47 am
every year. but the rate of obsolescence is also growing. electronic waste is piling up with $53000000.00 tons of e waste generated every year. it's the world's fastest growing waste stream. and on the global scale, this is, it is like as much as $1400.00 for a weight of $1400.00. i feel like every year and as you mentioned, well, the amount of, of goose will be, will be increasing. and we are, as we are for concepts that is amount will double in the next 3 decades today, only 20 percent of the world's e waste is recycled. it's hard to track the rest of it. a lot of it ends up in landfill sites in africa and asia where it pollutes the soil, the water, and the air. it also poses a serious health threat. mountains of discarded electronics also arrive every day
10:48 am
here in atlanta, in southern germany. but much of it is pretty good use. around 70 percent of the electronics deposited here can be reused. the company a, f, b repair is old hardware and devices, and that's no easy task. technician over advisor knows every trick in the book. he's using a hair dryer to soften the adhesive, holding the smartphone together. so he can replace the screen. well it puts a lot of box tickles in your path even when you want to replace a battery. there's a lot of it, he says, and in general, the newer the device, the more complicated it is complex because spare parts are usually taken from devices that can be sold on again, recycling electronics means resources are used much more efficiently. last year,
10:49 am
the company a of be recycled, nearly half a 1000000 electronic devices producing the same quantity of new devices would have required 25000 tons of metal and 300000000 leaders of water. killian kaminsky cells the refurbished electronic products to his platform, referbed. a vice politely come unlock, you might know where to buy, sustainably produce food, organic food or sustainable textiles. but with electronics, people often felt they had to buy a new or 2nd hand from a private individual online. but then you never know what you're getting. is there a guarantee? will it still work after a week and people in the office, but many items can be repaired or refurbished? kaminsky says that requires an average 70 percent blessed jo, tooth and in new product. these items are also cheaper and all the customers are now much more willing to look for something that stable. we've noticed the level of
10:50 am
awareness has increased considerably over the past 2 or 3 years. influenced partly by the fridays for future initiative. dimensions for consumers know they need to live more sustainably, and electronics are key factor for all be in the child's manufacturing. smart phones is one of the most resource intensive processes on earth. experts say introducing circular strategies and making electronic items easier, jewelry repair, is essential to reduce the industries, carbon footprint. we all know for several decades that we need to improve repair and the industry knows all the regulators know all day, but it's simply not happening. and actually the reverse is happening. so i think that's a, that's the time of waking that the market will go. so it's is, is over, we need, you know, strict regulations, any items that can be repaired or set aside and shredded. then they're sent to belgium to
10:51 am
a company called me core. that recycles precious metals. smartphones are full of valuable resources including gold, silver, and platinum mining. these often causes huge environmental problems. rather than extracting them from the earth, the company can recover up to 20 precious metals from electronic scrap. still, this is a rare example worldwide. first, the shredded waste is tested for its metal content and then placed in the blast furnace where the plastic is melted and used for generating energy step by step, the metals event separated from each other and melted down. there are other ways to do still with an indian you will lose if you focus, for instance, on one of the middle schools you reduce the majority of the other metals in your process on the precious metal. can we get all of our new? and indeed, we recycle them through the highest years so that they can be used in different
10:52 am
shapes. the metals contained in one smartphone are only worth about one euro 50, but with around 200000000 unused cell phones in german households are bone. the potential is enormous right now, the very few old phones get recycled, but this urban mine of waste like tronics, is potentially worth billions of euro's share of recycled materials for making new applications will only grow in the future. but that requires really good connection . not only awareness, i think there is still not enough awareness to, to make the connection successful. but also if you have a collection scheme as demand for high tech products grows, the earth's resources are dwindling. while the human and environmental cost is increasing, introducing a circular economy for electronic goods would mean equipment could be used for longer and would be easier to repair or recycle right now,
10:53 am
that's the exception. but it needs to become the norm, and the transition needs to speed up a great way to get to know a country is through it. today's global snack comes from mexico. ah, surrounded by mountains, the picturesque town of flores is located in southern mexico. many indigenous traditions are still cultivated. there are tako bars on every street corner. but reuben kansas says his customers, another locals, the shallow c. gotten that, ah, the base of the initial snack is call new, like a lot of mix confuse at the bottom, but i love that mentor. the 1st step is making the dough from corn meal. it's low, almost on the matter. we combine the corn meal with
10:54 am
a wheat flour to give the tortilla more consistency than am i going to be before it gets fried, the dough toasts, unequivocal. in the meantime, rebec prepares the toppings shredded meat and cellphone. a lot of my tell you look at we have tomatoes any variety to the got. i'm not sure. i think it was going to when onion as to whether they make it really juicy or not just cause plenty of really an integral ingredient in any mexican dish. everyone knows that you actually do your food. that's how every meal starts. in some parts of mexico as a served with cheese and cabbage, popular across the country. this streets that costs around $20.00 paces the equivalent of about one year on
