is a 77 percent the platform with these issues and share ideas you know, or this channel, we are not afraid to happen. delicate topic africans population is growing fast. and young people clearly have the solutions. the future belongs to the 77 percent every weekend on d. w o rising temperatures and heat waves, i'm making life almost unbearable in most cities. so we do ask, is there

a way we can build sustainably and also keep people come to put 2 more on that in these additional equal africa, your weekly environment magazine. my name is sandra teen over you. hi, sandra. nice to see you and hello to all of you. views out there. i am chris ill mps at suntrust said our planet is getting hotter and that means we're going to have to make changes to the way we do all sorts of things here. so quick look at what's in store on the program out in sex could help mitigate bonnie tricia in mother ga scott. and why many fishing nets indonesia are coming up empty? will begin in cameroon, where we meet a young man was very concerned about the impact climate change is having on his home town and the welt, so much so that he was motivated to action. i what started us

a bit to fun as now become much more van, just a hobby before getting to work these kids how to wash their project supplies, which is a bit out of the ordinary. they're taking part in a workshop run by 17 year old. our sin don't move everything hastily from trash. the children will learn how to design and build their own model city out of waste. actual i'm on across is all on my kitchen. we're building a model of the city of to morrow, with trees and renewable energy to combat global warming for multi multi it all started with an early passion for building. our sin was unhappy at a traditional school, so his parents sent him to a technical school instead. long senari local mom. he started to develop ideas

there, to do drawings. he built little things out of stuff like cardboard. gradually he got to the level he's at to day and he had a talent unless a mother, i wanted to encourage him to develop bids. he's now gaining a falling online. he gives most of his muddles away, but some he sells. this stadium was quickly snapped up in the positive for more so i didn't just buy it for myself. i also bought it so that i could advertise for him . but if someone wants something built and they see this model and ask who built it, i'll tell them it's the design of a talented, young architect, dribble sit, and oxy dick or pair. don't signs enough material where he lives in yolande, the capital of come room. he goes to businesses and homes to collect trash, especially cardboard and plastic. his helps to raise awareness about recycling. i

found one a clear path we didn't recycle before. kathy, what's awesome dogmas initiative taught us how to systematically separate out trash . there's a local sanitation company, but you can only process limited amounts. only about 40 percent of the trash gets collected. the trucks only drive on big paved streets, but most residents live along small roofs. oh, but i love when you walk to the city, you see garbage all over the place and i, she, people just throw it anywhere it every, every community needs to develop a waste disposal strategy practitioners as an industry in the same book area where i said lives at least some of the trash gets picked up by him and he needs it for his weekly workshops. he doesn't, i can said upon the aisle is in the market. it's my goal to teach as many kids as possible. how to build these models out of trash and how to separate trash or run

and the parents learn as well. around 30 families are taking part. an interest is growing. they just pay small fee for the tools. i've seen arsons models and they really interest me. that's what i find my son up so he can make them to did his circle. mm. i see. he started giving workshops early this year. the children pay attention to him on, on his morals, haven't only inspired a love of building the workshops. also make them more aware of the environment. even though the only building models are cheese on solar panels. they're learning more about environmental protection and ascending move hoops to inspire even more people. i dream of sharing my passion with the whole world and seeing one of my models being built in full scale, even if his dream is into reality. yet,

our sin dogma is tenacious. and continues to forge his own half. his already created his green district if only in model form from model homes to the real fame. megacities like lagos nairobi, angio berg are grown in under the weight of population growth houses springing up on almost every available space. but smacks a rapid construction and not so good for the environment. how can the building industry become more sustainable? will went to kenya to explore some potential solutions. kenya's construction industry is booming. in these 3 people want to help make the sector greener. what kina? mu tempe? promotes a special type of sustainable temper. jane, why yaki launched the green make over of a bank in nairobi. and ted oh,

tiana advises companies on how to build in a way that's better for the environment. or t n o has an appointment at a new apartment building and had straight for the roof with the project manager. or the inner works for an n g o that helps to certify new buildings according to environmental standards of learning, the company, the commission, the project has opted for solar panels and respected other criteria for green building to cover as compared to build this business. as usual, if your building is doing 20 percent of better on energy, operational energy, 20 percent better than water, 10 percent better, unembodied energy that has gone into the building. what do i then your building is considered degree in building as of 2021. there were 43 new certified green buildings in kenya. that might not sound like much, but it's twice as many as there were and 2020. so there's a trend here. but what about older buildings? can they also be made green?

this branch of the opposite bank and i robi central business district, is an, a building constructed over 50 years ago. what is it, jane? why yaki is the bank sustainability officer? she's had the ground floor revamped to make it as green as possible. all of the banks, more than 80 branches across the country have undergone the same treatment. there are now energy saving, eli delights in all the rooms, water dispensers, instead of plastic bottles and water saving devices for the toilets and things. the conversion wasn't cheap, but it's led to enormous savings. the equivalent of more than 160000 euros into 10 to one unknown who are able to save up to 20000000 shillings in terms of the annual. and the trip to bills that we paid and 2022 as well. he is in 2020 as a baseline as well. ah, by half year we've been able to get a savings of 10000000. and there aren't just financial benefits. the bank told us

that the green conversion will cut its carbon emissions 420-225-6000 times what's on how green refurbishing of older buildings is vital and opened up their business . but kenya is also facing a housing shortage. so more new buildings are necessary. an estimated 2000000 homes are needed right now. and since concrete and steel production emit a lot of greenhouse gases, new materials are needed. materials like cross laminated temper, castile ammunition steam bomb gives an opportunity for the combination buildings in, in kang, the wildest ledge. really, this is because construction and building activities contribute to approximately 39 percent of the company missions in the wild cross laminated timber, or c l t is a product made by gluing layers of wood together. panels can be created in a variety of length, width and thicknesses. many architects view c l t as the concrete of the future.

it's relatively lightweight and yet very strong and means buildings can be put up fast. it's amazingly fire proof to when exposed to flames for a long time, only the outside chars build x studio a social enterprise specialized in design and construction has put up a prototype building near nairobi with a cor structure made of c l t. unlike concrete c o t is considered a green building material that even stores carbon dioxide but it's only truly green if the trees that are used are replaced. oh, when you cut down that tree, you cleared space for another 2 to be planted. that can be used in another building, and there sequestering of the company stories of the carbon and the thinking of the carbon continues this mix buildings cobblins to us increases the amount of carbon with secretary from the environment increases demo of cub one, west irving within our building kenya's construction sector grew

by 6.6 percent in 2021. so there's lots of potential for many more green buildings in kenya. those are certainly interesting projects. it would be great if more people followed the lead, reduced carbon emissions, and using energy more efficiently, are crucial to protect in life on the planet, both on land and in the sea. speaking of the sea on next are poor, takes us to the north african coast. you are very right crease. we now head to, to museum where fishermen are in trouble with what is left for them is getting more and more difficult. according to an easy study. the mediterranean sea house in fish stalks drop by a fought over the last 50 years. the vast majority of the native species and are threatened by overfeed chic visitors entering the town of darcy's. we'll notice

a work of art that looks more like wishful thinking than the reality on the ground . precious few fishers and tunisia bring in a decent catch these days. many simply abandoned their boats. and young people are leaving. when this villain was looking at the current situation, i have to say that there was no future in fishing. i can only tell young people to consider a different line of work. biologists from the national institute of marine sciences and technology and fox are looking for reasons behind the dwindling fish docs. the prime suspect toxic algae on her, i dramatically. i say this if we discovered that a toxic species of algae is responsible for this phenomenon, of the mean is not in 2019, there was a very high concentration of the algae species called korea bravest full on the need of all astir, said confidential in 2020 it stocks this like he loa good idea here. i need to know

blood enough, a per se, but this year that increased again in eva, eva, if one of us your the luck, especially in the area around the course of galvez. when you add, you father, the bas wants to make ends meet with fishers, frequently resort to illegal methods, such as catching fish that are actually too young and small to sell like this swordfish at the fish market in fox. you also find cartilage in his fish like raise and sharks, which are in fact endangered and protected species best here, saw edy and neat ultra belfy are trying to reverse the trend. they want fishers to stop catching sharks and other endangered species. there part of the project met by catch, which was launched 2 years ago and began with extensive data collection only

though could we've collected a lot of data key which will use to make proposals on how to reduce unwanted by catch of endangered species. and we're lock up for all of tenicia in the upper lower all the to the last thing is he need us rebels. he has developed a good relationship with the fishing community in the port as are these. he tells them about the research results and provides insights into the concept of close season. this is when the different species lay their eggs and can't be fished. the evaluation of the samples makes it clear that fishing in the mediterranean must become more sustainable. one solution would be using different fishing methods. trawling can be replaced by long lining, which involves long plastic lines with sardine bated hooks attached at around 6 meter intervals. met by catch plans to recommend this type of fishing. lynn filled

up with long line and in and hook line fishing canada. the fish have the choice for larry barella and the fish that go for the bait wouldn't get caught. they began in the others don't. it's completely different to trawling them, which basically catches everything in the scene. that was a hopper said deborah mcgraw, preserving the ecosystem in the mediterranean, will also require more fishermen like las had been sharika to switch to alternative methods and not only ins are these but across to leisure. and along the coasts of other countries bordering the mediterranean sea fountain easier with course the mediterranean to grace. athens is one of the what a fit is in europe and extreme temperatures of putting public health at risk. this is one reason why europe's fast chief heat officer is this they're not long ago. we reported on the very fast heat of he said he and africa. today. we introduce you to ha, colleague in europe. ah, in high summer,

the sun beat down on athens, temperatures of 40 degrees celsius or more are becoming commonplace. and that's hard on taurus and locals alike. aline, mit easily always keeps her water bottle handy. she knows all about summer in the city, in the risks it poses, because she's athens chief heat officer, a greek capitals 1st, and the 1st in all of europe. it's her job to prepare the city for climate change. here she's descending into the city's historical underground, together with an employee of the athens waterworks, it's home to hadrian aqueduct, an underground tunnel, almost 20 kilometers long. built my roman emperor, hadrian, in the 2nd century ag aline. muddy valley, once water to flow here again, soon, engineers have already drawn up plans and they'll said that they are planning to

create 20 specific points where the, where they tap into the water into the green new parks. the idea is to create a green belt running straight through the city. the creation of parts should produce a cooling effect. the cheap heat officer is particularly proud of this small part, which was inspired by japanese gardens. that we have to choose plants that both have a lot of leaves and thick canopy that without a loser their leaves in the winter. but also can, can do not need the enormous amounts of water and can survive in difficult conditions for several years. now. extreme heat waves and grease have almost always been accompanied by force fires, which are increasingly becoming a threat to the capitol. elaina moody really knows that time is running out. in

a few decades, large parts of this city of close to 4000000 people could become uninhabitable. already, athens is often the hottest city in europe during the summer. and we don't have a lot of parks and, and green spaces. and we have a lot of old people, the fact that the surfaces are, are we have a lot of surfaces that then to heat up. we have a lot of cars that produce even more heat and air conditioning produces even more heat. so it's actually a pretty deadly makes enough and the heat is an issue for a gas emmanuel and not just because he likes to run long distances. he's an actor and one of the most famous climate activists in greece to promote climate protection. the athenian ran 2500 kilometers from here to the world climate conference in glasgow. scotland last year. he thinks having a heat officer like

a leaning buddy valley isn't a bad idea, but that for athens, it's likely too little too late. now my babble and of jo, 3, a floor yard and them it'd be nice to have a new park in my neighbourhood with a fountain i can cool off in on hot days on the restore. but to be honest, it seems like giving a cancer patient and aspirin, alamahood, emily, rush, b, i get the impression that we've already surrendered. no misery unless you come up of iffy or the blue. nikki might mean accepted the climate crisis in from with and now about we're trying to somehow live with it the bottom or blue or blacksmith, bridge level shadow stores. after, after all, this ancient city has survived many a crisis in its almost 4000 year long history. waste management is another big challenge from many countries and a let is tool here in africa too. but as we'll see, release weeks doing the b service edition, complete a big role in terms of effectively change after all, even something as simple as an old plastic voting can hold any loses

bah, good. it's time to go in these school kids until goes capital of low may have been looking forward to their outing to mazique park echo logic, a very unique education center. all of the buildings here along with the pavement, were constructed using waste materials, dead tulisa, bhaskar. i love this place because things that i thought were useless ones are actually useful. so i think recycling is important and everyone should do more of it. but from now on, when i see trash i'll collected and bring it here. as you're there, i'm in the lights in tell go more than $2000000.00 tons of plastic waste and up in the environment each year, according to official figures. even though the country does have waste management centers,

the recycling rate remains low. that's why raising awareness of the problem is critical. it's listed as the, as it is referred forego, got more social that this is important to you. because children learn that instead of throwing everything in the trash, i can turn some things into other useful objects. things that have a purpose, walk through your office with others, but the center does more than make use of plastic bottles and rubber tires the machines. park echo logic also has a bio digester. here young people can see how organic waste is turned into combustible bio gas. ah, and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us visit our website or center so tweet, pastor eg doing your bit. we share your stories.

here on equal africa. we frequently address the issue of food security, more and more people around the world are in desperate need of adequate nutrition. but practice is likely livestock forming his of a lot of resources like water and ariba land. so how can we reduce on meet consumption and still get enough protein? well, sandra, insects are an option that's been creating a lot of boards in recent years. let's take a look at what people are cooking up at a farm in madagascar. just consider it's a little taste of things to come. some people find bugs on the plate on advertising, but these crickets are being bred by the thousands, in by law law farm laboratory at the madagascar biodiversity center rich in protein . the inserts i meant to play a key role in feeding the country men up it's,

i can think that our day. yeah, now we are expanding and improving our products. and we're finding a way swap where the necessary materials are not so that we can further increase our production. this will be our contribution. i'm is still fighting money tricia in mother garza here tina. i need to find out. i covered my gasket more and more forest is being cleared to grow food. madagascar has lost a significant amount of its forest cover. in recent decades, some tropical wood is exported, but over half is used for cooking. many farmers also burns sections of the forest to create new fields. then there's climate change, which is also causing problems for farmers. rain forest soil is known to be poor, but extreme weather and erosion are further degrading the land. this, coupled with increase in drought, is leading to more and more crop failures. this is where the newly founded insect

processing facility comes in. here, different edible powders are produced from dried crickets and worms with the aim of bringing insect protein onto the food market. miss fact that her where know that people have their preferences. for example, the ne, some insects are more popular gonna meet pittman. think our role is to ensure that insects are always available. and insufficient quantities will farms as if under them and, and they, when the manufacturers believe they can produce enough powder for about half a 1000000 meals a year, keeping on processing the insects is simple and environmentally friendly. and the escrow means is also used to produce natural fertilizer for agriculture to isa. we're trying to vary the insect fits license for use with coffee plants, clothes on, cinnamon, gnome system. we're also launching into our go forestry and,

and that way because of his trees. because we use organic foot, eliza, because we knew very well the money that we cannot use. chemical fits laces. protected primary for is one of the last put on the dried and roosted insects already popular dishes in some african countries. this pop up restaurant in cape town, south africa, for example, only serves insect dishes, considered booth nutritious and delicious. freshly fried crickets or worms, sell like hot cakes here. nits, this is an delicious. what more do you want that? so for today, we hope you enjoy the program and to be sure to join us again next week until then is good by for may indigo state nigeria ticket. it is also good bye for me here in complex, but don't forget to check in with us and all our social media platforms, or even

a web site that you can find all those shows and reports as well as other interesting content that i'm sure will be helpful for you to see next week, some time someplace for equal africa. bye bye. ah, ah ah, ah, ah ah, ah, with

ah, ah, 2016 as like, good bye to the queen casa, wanted to see if germany was for me. the last few years have been quite a ride. a brilliant touch with the evidence. i've already done my home when it comes to jemma based on of course. oh, with look in the eyes. birch is,

but perhaps the biggest on the new hobby of mine. i'm no longer approved, i love to be and then you'd better repose americans, but when you're feeling multi giving your real life it's coach, it's just another way of living. are you ready to meet the job and then join me, right? let's do it on b, w. ah, it's the end of the pandemic in sight. we show what it could look like. will return in the normal. and we visit those who are finding it difficult. a success is on the moon in a weekly coven, 19 special. every thursday on d, w. and when you work as an architect that go all in or not at all, women in architecture. why are they so invisible to the larger public?

we decided to ask them. and if women grow up with insufficient little models, they can identify with certain professions about their guiding principles. messes, and what is the poetry, the secret of a house? and i'm house about their motivations to texture does so much to you in the real goal of the architecture is to create habitat for human about their struggles and dreams. responsibility are huge. they have so much to with shattering the glass ceiling. women in architecture dismiss has to be really, really good. start september 30th on d, w. ah
