history of slender hatred and violence is the monkey's will then on the jews were considered servants of evil. we simply told you the most atrocious chapter undone. within 6 years, a 3rd of our people were exterminating 6000000 jews, like microbes to be annihilated. even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. a history of anti semitism this week on d. w ah, this year the world has seen a cascade of extreme vendor events from record trouts to ravaging wild fires and

deadly floods. sign to swung the window to avoid a climate catastrophe is closing. today, aniko india will examine what's at stake for india and the world. hello and welcome . i'm sunny that i expect. c global warming is driving a rise in sea levels and causing heavier rainfall and storms. that's alarming for flood prone communities on the front lines of the climate crisis. like you're in min bite, but authorities predict bots of the city could become permanently submerged by 2015 amman group. they lives in a mood by suburb and he's glad the monsoons have ended. his horn is habitable. no. but the ground floor apartment, he lives in, was completely flooded just a month ago. bother those men in within 10 minutes, the house filled with over

a meter of water. that's why with dense about flooding, every yoga being tentative. the for did he shot on his phone camera shows family members wading through dirty water looking for various belongings every season janes, him and his neighbors of thousands of euros to pay for home repairs and brings uninvited guests the long snakes that there. so there are snakes and mosquitoes that come in with the flood one time. what are you going to be on the last time there were 3 or 4 snakes in our house. eric, i want a king with learning do. it also brings in mud and all sorts of garbage order with keyboard as if dean gordon. we also get skin diseases because of the flags. another one didn't go problem got that i, that flooding and extreme rainfall have increased 3 fold here. since the 19 fifties and scientists, a global warming is playing and increasingly significant drone vendor is one where

it can or more moisture for a long time. so what happens is that there's a lot of emotional, so any building out an up band, it is so saturated. if i dance all of this water in a short spare. yeah. so originally, so c, s heavy to extreme brain for are in this room. so question god is an example or mum bias, it's on the western coast. so it bends the brunt of the monson clouds or the move in from the ocean. there are several factors which disadvantage the city. with rising sea levels, its full cost to be under 3 feet of water by 2100 vendor hearings and it starts to get stretched out into the arctic blue see for a while. but when the sea level is rising, you bought your the n one,

a water that gets flushed out into the sea, and it takes a lot longer time for that water to get flushed on. so that is a, be connie durcan won't even want to post xtreme rather events act together. mom based rivers don't have that that he said, boy said oh she was in miti once dreamed the region. but as the city has grown from a cluster of fishing hamlets to becoming india's financial capital migrants from all over the country have moved in. in the process, the rivers have become blocked and polluted. ocoee did go pulse of 80 walks on, slowing down urban flooding and its impact via glue really will go do it. let me ando and generally take a big dark only the i'm sure you've seen that it takes an s dawn on receipt done with the lodge cove. now people i need of land,

so they start straightening the rivers nearby and got a bill cutting them off at unnatural angles. hit them going. the thing is you can't deliver what to do bonnie: in any language, you know what i mean, you can decide whether it takes a left on, on a right. don't go live. so especially when there's a lot of water, the river crosses your mind, me boundaries will and this is the main reason it floods. so this is the mean, these and museum, if blurred, a bib adobe re upped, i would go to the with the cities. mangroves also ones formed a natural barrier which absorbed excess flood water, but they're being cut down for development. one of the city's biggest shopping complexes be casey, sits on a former mangrove swamp. and then is illegal encouragement and bad planning. in its latest attempt to tackle these problems, the government has put a committee together to look into all the contributing factors my database coming up with climate change. i should blan affordable way of reaching actual, blah,

blah. and they are ready to talk with scientists. so that they have a plan which is not science based plan on how to deal with it, which i think is quite a change actually. plans are based on the offset boss, child affairs, or hey, rates are manifested in the past. but that one d was, you know, if they're not or enough that once they've got a strong future, it wants to lay me attempting to make more people connect with the cities natural flood protections by the go. both of 80 started drivel march in 2018. this is important to understand where citizens communities develop an understanding of their local environment and the impact of climate change. this is one of the handful of platforms residents are now using to demand change. an action in a city with bleak climate to projections. mom buys vessels

or just some of the many millions here in india who stand to lose if climate change continues unchecked. already its effects are hitting people in the rural areas hot asia set to be among the world regions, bearing the brunt of the impact will socially and economically this year. devastation is one of the many effects of global warming. the fact loans of 20202021 ravaged the indian seed office, spangled millions of people lost their livelihoods. what can we do? we are dependent on relief now. we will have to leave this in the funds to find work. there is nothing left to the east, an indian state is one among many regions in the country already living with the consequences of the climate crisis. hotspots or extreme weather

event, drought cycles, but also there. so what that means is that, you know, the war and bonds are already facing the front of a regular rain patterns and prolonged droughts have affected the lives of millions of people. the extreme that has inflicted heavy losses on farmers and the agriculture sector. indian economy. as a whole will suffer over the next 50 years. the service industrious and the construction and transport sectors combined could respectively hemorrhage 11. she didn't us dollars. rito tourism and manufacturing are also going to be hard hit. if india ignore the climate crisis. in 2015 more than 190 countries agreed in paris to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius. india pledged to reduce its carbon

emissions and increase forest cover that would absorb up to 3000000000 tons of carbon dioxide. the country wants 40 percent of its electricity to come from renewables by 2030, and india seems to be on track due, the other 10 were less than 20 megawatts. we now have more than 100000 megawatts of windham sorta and biomass position. in many cases, india has sunlight in abundance, and labor is cheap. today, india generates the most affordable solar power in the world. but that's not enough to satisfy the country's growing energy needs. 2 thirds of its electricity still comes from fossil fuels like gold. the country has made no pledges to phase it out . on the contrary, the government is opening more coal mines and called power plants than ever before

. india continued re lines on cold days to power makes the walls turn biggest polluter after china and the us exports. it is likely that india will become the main emitter of greenhouse gases in the 2nd half of the century. if it doesn't take a different pop, you can ask other countries and in this, doing so to, for example, to promote technology transfer as 11 element. if we are not able to to bring also campus like in the on board, there will be $1.00 warming already really in $11.00 decayed or 15 years from, from hours. this would mean a clover failure. a big country like india needs to move more decisively towards a $1.00 degrees celsius spot for itself. and for the world, only been there is a chance of getting the global climate crisis under control. the battle agreement

create an obligations that states have to live up to that open channels. legal action over climate change to the activism is mostly winnable on the streets. but some of the biggest climate victories are scored in court. bending court cases could get a boost from a recent woo and human rights council resolution. it recognizes access to a healthy and sustainable environment as a fundamental right. people all over the world are suing governments and corporations of a climate change. and they're winning. this man made legal history. ask ali gary is a lawyer from pakistan. like many other developing countries, it is being hit particularly hard by climate change for years. people that have suffered from torrential rainfall, floods, and droughts, amongst other things. and this is bound to get worse. so back in 2015 like i

refiled a petition with a revolutionary argument. it's that the government wasn't doing enough to protect that citizens from the effects of climate change. and in doing so, it was violating the human rights. i never realized, or even tor expected that it would get as big as it did. friday was to a large extent in our own dorm, but that ever really it, its target. the high court agreed with him and his team and ordered the government to step up action, and it set up a supervisory committee to ensure that happens. that was a real breakthrough. and it's one of the early cases using human rights arguments and using them very successfully to convince the court that they do have the jurisdiction. and that is within that. how it came to be. catherine. hi, a misty co author of a major report on climate litigation. while all this was going on in pakistan, another case, men headlines, environmental group, or hender, was suing the it's government with

a very similar argument. they said by not lowering emissions faster, it would endanger people's lives in the future. the case went all the way to the country supreme court. it eventually upheld the decision that by 2020, the government should cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 25 percent below 1990 levels. the court said the dutch state must protect it. citizens, human rights, more specifically the right to life and the right to respect for private and family life. but wait a 2nd. how are these connected to climate change? well, let me give you 2 examples. extreme heat waves already claim lives every here. so just sitting back and doing nothing to stop temperatures from going up even further, would breach people's right to life or take rising sea levels. hundreds of millions of people on islands, often coastal regions might lose the homes in the near future. this breaches their rights, respectful, privates and family live in

a both contributing t climate change. i say, investing in fossil fuel infrastructure or subsidizing fossil fuel companies. and by failing to regulate the activities of others, a, allowing a big painting entities to keep good eating governance or failing in that responsibility to protect their citizens from human rights hands and come with climate change as caligari and offender relied on human rights as the central argument in their cases, and in doing so, they really pushed open the door for cases and other countries. in germany for example, activists took the government to court over its climate action plan, and one germany now has to cut emissions a lot faster. and in australia, a court ruled the environment minister has a duty of careful young people when, for example, deciding whether to approve coal mine expansion plan. a group of young people

including swedish climate activist. wittenberg filed a petition with the un committee on the rights of the child, except that argentina, brazil, france, germany, and turkey violated their rights as children by not taking action on climate change . but the committee said they must 1st bring lawsuits and the national courts of these countries, human rights are universal, which is why it's very likely that we'll see a lot more of these cases in the future. and actually not just against governments . adults course is found that shell has a legal responsibility for climate change, shall, will have to cut their emissions a landmark decision with far reaching implications for environmental policy worldwide in may 2021 dutch environmental group mill. you defend c, celebrated a huge victory against the oil and gas company, sell one of the top 10 climate polluting companies in the world court, i think, to be held that shows climate policy was so poor as to be unlawful.

and that's groundbreaking. poor benson is a lawyer at client earth and environmental law and geo. the court ordered shell, which says it will appeal to cut its emissions by 45 percent by the end of the decade. it's the 1st time that a corporate group has been ordered to, in essence, comply with the goals at the power agreement. the court called sales current climate policy, intangible, undefined and non binding. and said the company was therefore in danger of violating its duty of care. the grounds were once again human rights and what the court is saying there is that the interest that are served by its decision, i fundamental protections for people on this planet, protection of the climate, those interests out why shows commercial interest. ah, experts say litigation can only be one part of the solution to the climate crisis.

with success is being scored in courtrooms all over the world. it's clear that from now the legal battle is a winning strategy. ready ready from a winning strategy in the quarter to one in the renewable energy sector. here in india, where the steer to green is a notoriously unreliable. it's a huge problem for businesses large and small in could not cost state capitol. private companies are stepping up to fill the vacuum with decentralized solar power . dr. jody is working on a new sickly. the metal needs to be shipped by a hammer and then he did and cool down multiple dimes before it is just the right shape and strength. for the past 40 years, he's needed help to get his machines running. his wife demonstrates how she used to rotate a crank shaft to regulate the fleet for many hours every day. now that function is performed by this little regulator that control the solar powered mortar. 2 years

ago, the investor, 16500 rupees, almost 200 euros in the set up wizard. one wagner there now, and then we have the solemn moto says, i don't. ringback to trouble my wife any more, i do too. she suffered from fatigue and body exit. the solar powered unit blows the air with greater force and the steady basin that ensures better heat. i do so the work feels easier and i feel happier and more engaged with my was just feel this is elena gill. sorry, martin get carla. the blacksmith and his family live 20 kilometers south of bang la city. most of the 70000 people living in their neighborhood are connected to the national grid. but here, like almost all over india, power cuts are a daily occurrence. in the state of kinetic on the cell, go, foundation offers support for those who rely on a steady energy supply. they have small scale entrepreneurs to buy solar powered

systems. sell co pays one 3rd of the costs with the rest financed through a micro loan. today their stuff i had been with the maintenance of the battery and the solar unit. so great, mainly, oh, working closely with there are no bank and either the financial institutions and done are so we are, we are mainly what are the skins available for the particular mailed we will be, you'll be in the community, do their best games as the lesson get them out or get their financial linkages in. there are more, sheila later will go to bank, sell go, has now helped out around $3000.00 small entrepreneurs in god not accosted. dairy farmers, sebastian has also installed big solar panels on his roof to be saved from power cuts and not be dependent on fossil fuels. anymore, even when it rains, he can use solar power that is stored in the battery.

he used to spend a lot of money on gasoline to run the milking machine, needing one liter of the fuel every single day. none of the machines run on solar power. he's been able to employ more workers and to increase milk production significantly. me let me in our dairy farm, we use solar power for cleaning the cultured and for melting the cold. we have installed a light as well, a few things are better. i work, i mean i started with duke hours and due cause. now i have 29000 all. everything is good for them. but for some reason we values envelope and it back in bangalore data, jody is now selling the sickle. his profit has risen by 30 percent since he bought the solar powered blore as it enables him to produce the tools faster. this helped the whole family during difficult times. his wife tells us so,

but glass work diode and it's been hard to save money in the past year name our children were out of work. after the pandemic began, no one offered them a job online. but this all up our machine provided help in saving our family from starving. wonder number one more file i have heard of these, do you centralized electricity systems could help smaller communities and entrepreneurs to improve their livelihoods and income? but they can also play an important role in india, strong vision towards the clean energy mix. the badass agreement was on the 4th time world countries set commitments to solve a common problem. 10 years ago, 74 members of the un pledged to restore millions of square kilometers of the was reinforced by 2030. our rebuttal looks at how it's going. the way the trees are disappearing at an alarming rate. in brazil alone, 4 and

a half football fields of primeval forest lost every minute. globally, forests have shrunk by 10 percent over the past 30 years. and yet these forest ferry essential to survival, play slow the global rise in temperature to produce oxygen and bind carbon dioxide . a mixed forest that as well managed, provides would, and creates prosperity and jobs. reforestation involves planting new young trees. like in this nursery where oak tree coatings are being used to raise up new forest. can the world forests be restored? 10 years ago, representatives from many countries met in the german city of bon, where they agreed to restore, deforested and degraded landscapes. it was called the bon challenge. each country

set its own goals. countries all over the globe committed to planting 1500000 square kilometers of new forest by 2020, a huge undertaking. that's an area about half the size of the indian subcontinent. but not all by 2030, and they're aiming to have planted up to 3500000 square kilometers. that's like covering an area larger than the whole of india with trees. it's the world's largest ever reforestation program, from peru in the andes to countries across africa. new forest are appearing. india is also taking part in over all the bond challenges succeeded

only in slowing the pace of deforestation. and so a global forest continue to shrink. over the last decade alone, 470000 square kilometers of forest disappeared, that scenario larger than switzerland. many experts agree that the goals of the bon challenge are not being achieved, partly because of ongoing deforestation. what does the organization behind the initiative think of it all. it is a tragic thing because obviously restoration is not an answer to everything. restoration has to go hand in hand with protection of the forests that, that remain, you know, was never intended to take any attention away from that. jim, and he didn't commit to any goals in the bon challenge. as 30 percent of the country is already covered with forest. however, most of it is monoculture. so the forestry authorities are gradually planting

a mixed forests. miss mode is reasonably shed or below, gosh, i mixed forest is much more resistant to pests and climate stress and is much more valuable to the entire ecosystem because many more species can establish themselves here. a mixed forest is also much better for building up ground water for the condition of the humors and nutrients in the soil, and the owners wallet or food in goat boarded as vipers. it's a mixed forest, require more work, but also create more revenue from timber to these commercial forests that most bon challenge participants are focusing on even if many nations are behind on their goals, a start has been made. it's vital that reforestation continues creating a sustainable planet is not one of the options anymore. it's the only option we have if you want to thrive in our ecosystem and cohabit with other living organisms

. think about that and i'll see you again next week from all of us in india and germany. good bye. and thanks for watching, ah, [000:00:00;00] with
