lucinda director ah oh, become a forgotten so plain. ah! lydia fringe, died and arnold fun. between hibler and hollywood. 1932. they settled into the icy wilderness of greenland to create a life threatening through project that became a major milestone in their lives. love. so daughter at our school starts october 8th on d, w. ah, ah, welcome to global 3000 bright solutions in one brazilian for valan. discarded bottle caps are being turned into skateboards melting ice in

alaska, the permafrost is thawing, with dramatic consequences for people and animals. and higher waters, the egyptian coastal city of alexandria is fighting rising sea levels and its own demise. our planet consists largely of water around 70 percent of the earth's surface is covered by it. climate change is causing temperatures to rise until now oceans have absorbed a large share of the heat. helping to keep temperatures in check bouts has temperatures rise. so does the sea level. the entire planet is feeling the impact of melting lacey us. since 1900 sea levels have risen by around 20 centimeters and particularly sharp p since 1993. if this continues sea levels could be 1.10 meters higher by the end of this century than they are today. a worst case scenarios

predict to rise of up to 1.7 meters in alexandria. in egypt, the rising levels are already causing great concern. most of the beach has already been swallowed by the sea. just a few years ago, sun bathe is lounged here on 6 rows of chairs. only one remains. almost 30 meters of beach are now under water. often the waves lapped directly against the buildings. like at this popular beach cafe, the view is unique, but the future is uncertain. tom or he made as income is crumbling. the 42 year old has been running his cafe for more than 20 years. but now it's days like this, entire row of houses seem numbered. knows tomorrow. if this continues soon, there won't be a beach here. nothing at all. oh certainly next year the sea water will come right

up to the edge here. we will see cracks on the wall, testified to the danger tom or he made a has lived in fear ever since 2019, when the porch collapsed under the force of the waves. so i was bewildered, bewildered. i thought we were experiencing a soon army the former pull of the mediterranean is now threatened with ruin, founded more than 2400 years ago by alexander the great alexandria was once a major centre of civilization. to day it is egypt, 2nd largest city, with more than 5000000 inhabitants. and over 60 kilometers of shoreline, the voice creeps ever closer to the historic buildings. as the sea level rises, scientists fear that sooner or later they will be completely submerged in. if you how well in loss of about half a 1000000 heckler's around alexandria and the nile delta,

you will sing here. the around 4000000 people will be affected in the summer. if the sea level rises by one and a half meters around $8000000.00 people in the delta ha, that will be in mortal danger. unless i'm a fisherman delta water of the, in the, at hotmail. the city council is desperately trying to hold back the waves. coastal protection workers are sinking tetra pods, weighing tens of thousands of tons along the coast. the project has been underway since september. the clock is ticking. palaces, historical bridges and lighthouses must be protected before it's too late. warns assa aysa the head of coastal conservation in alexandria. i grant scenario no more . in the worst case scenario, the historic defensive wall rec lapse part of it already broken away, but we repaired that ideally, what if the wall collapse is completely the park was sinking to the sea. and one has beaches will also be protected with a wall of concrete blocks,

cranes are gradually sinking the tetra cods into the sea, costing tens of millions of euros. it's a dangerous mission against the forces of nature, kazama, boker yet we've often had to stop our work and start all over again because of storm surge is enough. then in another place, all our equipment was submerged by water or that to the limit were. these are already enormous challenges because we're working with see in severe weather conditions, especially in winter. in the cities, narrow alleyways, residents are at the mercy of the she had volumes of water. the small apartment of ultimate ramadan and his wife, missouri was flooded 4 times. last winter, as the result of rising sea levels and heavy rain, the pension is don't have enough money to keep re painting the walls or even to move away. they make do with plastic top hollands and stones on to which they place

. they are vantage her. marta mom were really worried. of course our lives are in god hands dilemma. what should we do? a letter in the last flood. they lost their furniture and most of their electrical appliances for days they couldn't enter their apartment and was stuck out in the street josefina and alex, i'm scared. we'll lose everything. with alexander, his sewage system has long been unable to withstand the mix of rain and sea water. not enough pipes that are too thin and often clogged, even though the city council regularly cleans them. new pipes are being built near the coast to re direct the water back into the sea. but all this is unlikely to solve the problem in the long term. thought i'd already, i'm affected by it too. of course, not as an employee, i sometimes feel i haven't done my job properly, but i do what i can. well, we work hard on what's happening here is beyond our capabilities. and yet many

people in alexandria are hoping for a miracle, and that they'll somehow get off lightly for tom or he maida and his family. their very existence is at stake. morgan. i was shocked to garza. i wish the coast would be like it used to be him again. how much we hardly have any beak here any more than almost nothing a global minima, loma i hope the government will implement its rescue plan quickly. humor. oh ma'am, i'm begging them to save the coast and west cafe will amo, was it to wish likely to go unfulfilled. the people of alexandria can't stop climate change with wishful thinking. now another place experiencing the effects of climate change. first hand is alaska . it's getting warmer and warmer in the you. essays, northern most state. last winter temperatures climbed to a record 19.4 degrees celsius. to put that in perspective,

minus 20 degrees celsius is considered normal at this time of year. such changes a wreaking havoc with the lives of people and animals who live there ah landing, it would geography. the change is impossible to overlook. the permafrost is melting . the once frozen landscape is now littered with pools of water, reaching right up to the houses, residence in the united states northernmost town, find the ground is literally melting beneath them. just a few kilometers away, scientists at a u. s. government observatory are busy tracking climate change. brian thomas has been in charge here for 15 years. for 50 years, the station has recorded c o 2 levels and the atmosphere, and track the temperatures and precipitation levels. where we noticed over the 40 years old enough plus in

a little bit more almost 50 years now we've noticed that big change almost a 100 parts per 1000000 change. now the last time there was this much change. it was a 5000 year period after the last ice age when the worker was warming. so what we've done in 50 years, humans have caused the same amount as what was naturally happening in 5000 years. new equipment has just been installed, designed to analyze the air even more precisely. it's an exact gauge of global warming. the scientists identify how much carbon dioxide is stored in the air or we bring it in from our really tall tower, outside, frieden, on these on, on these poses present to this instrument. and inside this instrument, we put a heat laser in there, just like the heat that's coming off the surface of the earth that's being trapped by the carbon dioxide. we recently, we create the conditions that are outside. we do that in the lab where we can measure and then we know how much carbon dioxide is in that sample. lukea,

how quick is one of for climate change observatories in the u. s. they're run by the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. it's the known store and they're all located far away from cities as an industry on the because we have alaska, we have hawaii, you have similar, we're soft pull. we have this nice connection across the earth. when the wind moves past. and what we're looking for is, we don't want to look at what's happening locally, the point sources of pollution. we want to look at what's happening in the well mixed air that travelled around a lot. climate change is happening on the observatories doorstep. the snow is melting earlier in the year, and the summers are getting longer. the blocks of ice that once served as a natural protection against the waves and rising sea levels have gone. in recent decades, the air temperature and the arctic has risen twice as fast as the global average

people here in new york vick have witnessed the change 1st hand the ocean used to freeze in october and now it's not freezing, sometimes until late january. so the storm surges normally, the northern winds in winter would be coming off of the ice. and now they're pushing the ocean waves up against the coast. so you're seeing a lot more erosion occurring because the ocean isn't breathing. you're seeing damages to the critical infrastructure in the community as the permafrost is thawing. buildings are sinking, and i'm there, they're being cracked and damaged. how i remembered in the past, like 20 years ago. there are legs know, and stars knowing before school cuz school would dark like the 2nd week of august and then like that kids would start walking to school in nash no. but now did a read the rising temperatures also pose

a challenge to local hunters. the wild animals have started to behave differently. it's a real problem, says billy adams. he's one of the best known hunters and who kildrick is. indigenous name is ok. now can we learn to exist with the animals that we've defender and sharing the, the health of their population. that tar timing of the migration has changed a lot more or at least up to 3 to 4 weeks earlier than we have to change with that. also, for example, in the eighty's or ninety's, we could go a few 100 yards to gather some of our animals for mature. and now it could be 15 miles 20 miles further. but the risks have not only grown

for the hunters. residents are also in danger. in winter, a growing number of polar bears are entering with their natural habitat melting. they come to places like this, searching for food and they bite to survive obnoxious services. as a polar bear ranger are required, we had over 90 years, come assure and they were within our community in into our communities. we had to make sure that they were safe and make way. we started pull a beer to turn the program and we made sure that the people were saved. the children were fav. lucky. know it's been hurt yet so same things happening in canada and they've not been quite as lucky. they've had so fatalities with barriers in town where they shouldn't be. it happens in kind of waves. it's sort of depends on sort of everything comes down to the sea ice. the entire ecosystem depends on

the ice. so even just a small rise and temperature has a huge impact on nature and on the lives of the people who live here. and yvonne duke is a biologist. he's lived and worked in calgary for the past 7 years. be a great. the scale of change is huge and it's not getting better, it's just, it's slowly getting worse and less, less dependable. just like to say for my job, i can't do my job as easily as i used to because of the ice for a lack of ice. the same is true for the wildlife as well. back to the observatory the center received a rare visit from washington. the summer scientists and representatives of numerous political institutions attended an official open ceremony for a new state of the art research facility. we can see that if we don't do

anything, right, i mean we're going to continue to go up. right. so this represents warming. the authority baked in. this warming is already going to happen because this is already in the atmosphere. so anything that we can do to change this right now picking it down, we would have to actively remove. right? but you know, the, the more we can bend it down by not putting as much in the atmosphere to better off . we will be experts often describe the arctic at the epicenter of climate change. in places like yuck. that change is dramatic. and it seems that no turning back mm. plastic bottles, a practical and available everywhere every minute. 1000000 of them a sold worldwide. the number of bottles produced in a year would be enough to cover the distance from us to the planet. mercury.

emptied and thrown away very few bottles of recycled most end up in the trash or in nature. which is a huge problem because plastic takes about 450 years to decompose the world desperately needs ideas for how to deal with old plastic. we take a look, a one in rio de janeiro. ah. how can skate bullets help re as largest havana to reduce plastic waste? this question drives canadian, ari and roy agony, who is realizing his vision of sustainability here in the midst of thousands of fossil caps. in his improvised open air workshop, the 28 year old has declared war on garbage, at least as far as the little concerned. why he said he might visit today. i've already gathered 400 kilos of caps law,

but i haven't managed to recycle all of them yet. he has to go through this, but things are progressing. michelle, michelle processed the process begins with one of his help is cleaning the lives of this of silkwood. yeah, he right now for villa ra senior, the lids used to be just throwing away. now these almost to kind of recycling fever that's broken out since arianne showed us that you can make skate bullets out of them. on a on, via ghani and mechanical engineer, 3 the plans up himself at the house of it is this metal mold in which 500 lids are melted into a skateboard deck using this pizza oven. didn't put a lot the case at that chick fil skateboards or an ideal product in my bureaus because they're relatively durable, making good and i can recycle quite a lot of bottle caps in one go might voluminous plasma alien. what was the 1st time i saw a plastic skate board on the street? make one? 0, i thought gauge mer, who is your faith diblasio?

i can produce that in sustainably bluff. i said you blush for his sick. love me. every day he loads another tray of bottle caps to be melted at $180.00 degrees celsius. 8 years ago, at a younger i, agony traveled to brazil and fell in love with this area. the mounds of garbage generated by the prevail as 100000 inhabitants inspired him to come up with his sustainability project. now, a small army helps him collect the caps, the treasury, cyclists of ro cigna. one of them is maria de rosario, for collecting plastic bottles, cans and glass. she as the equivalent of $650.00 euros a month. she put the lids to one side for adiana regarding that yeah you for us waste is valuable act and brings and money hadn't been thinking about money. so my son and i collect things for the recycling center, but the bottle camps, we usually take them highly. some b as in they had with many of her neighbors,

also dropped a bottle caps off with her with his side because they had thought we know the lids will be given a new life. i so we get them on the rear. right, well we've got a local recycling economy here with plastic people that social worker, marcella played royce, also works with adi on the diagonal. he leads the recycling network in which maria dora's audio participants are more. i thank you, maria. this is great. and we can make some more skateboard, sagebrook will dodge muddy, added his audio lives with her 5 children in a small apartment in low cigna bedroom bros. yeah, thank you. and i was feel you there was a garbage recycling campaign here. really like that. that's why i started working at the dumb, but a might think that was 3 years ago. it was today's own pama said okay, royce helped her get started this which what would issue we showed, maria, how she can earn money by separating waste bottles such valesh. i'd give them for

me a total of 8 families now make a living from waste, recycling at our $24.00 rubbish, thomas and ross senior. i'm i don't want bravo. he would be us like maria. they bring it all to the recycling center twice a week. my fidel closer bother the bike, catch the bottle tops end up in the hands. i a gone is skateboard. mold the mold is dunked in water to cool it down my dog affiliation. with that, i'm really happy that we developed the sustainable product. i give it that should also be fun for people to use, says esl finish, man. the scapegoat is trimmed with a sharp knife on an icon, a reuse is the excess plastic later. he still can't make a living for making skateboards. it's only recently that he's been selling his bulls online for 90 euros each which includes requests for personalized designs. the entrepreneurs, he is part of the proceeds to finance the social project,

food puzzles for needy families, delivering sugar. pasta, flower and rice. purple can begin to lose me. when my baby was born, i lost my job in wilmington for now i'm unemployed. has a made my husband works, but his salary only just appeased randy that they'd have hawkins' father of our gallagher. i gave him my, i haven't eaten meat for ages, i can only afford rice, beans and ankles face to face the 2 men already have their side settled, their next skull, the arrival of a 2nd hand robots that will take plastic recycling to a new level. arianna agony paid for it with his savings. he's convinced that the project will soon pay off. i guess i missed the lawn technology in law of a whole. now i want to apply robotics and new technologies to engineering architecture and recycling to create sustainable products that are popular,

produce dish gates, the won't kitty. i think it will work. i see what's like, oh, the 1st tests for plastic tables and chairs are promising. this 3 d printer should soon be processing 6 killers of plastic per hour. good news for his senior, the fabiola where more and more people are helping to transform plastic waste into useful objects that are both colorful and fun. cities littered with plastic clogged rivers. dead animals. according to india's environment ministry, the country produces $3500000.00 tons of plastic waste a year. but experts believe it's actually much more. now the country has banned single use plastic. however, implementing the band is proving to be a big challenge. for

student ashish, tomorrow's role models or the thieves from the t. v series. money heist. but he has a more sustainable goal in mind than holding up banks. he aims to make his home city of delhi plastic, free through what he calls, plastic height blotting over. we steal plastic from people, some just give it to us. but others get angry and refuse. saw that we often hear the companies need to stop producing plastic. only very liberal folks, not use it any more. but i'll give them a really blustering guy. he india without plastic until now, hardly imaginable. but at the start of july, the government introduced a strict ban on single use plastic. any one who continues to sell it thinks of she find vendor progress. john gupta has already been targeted by the plastic ice robbers. sometimes the death, yeah, the government is putting us under pressure of not the companies that produce the

plastic in the end. it's the poor people who are being pressured and find we're being told to reduce waste and not lose any more place. like what we would do that, but as long as plastic is being produced, we'll use it. a lot of them isn't because then i have a plumb labor cutlery, and plates made from wood or cardboard are more costly. so they're not a viable alternative for many bumping activists. don't take that into account. they simply drown out any protest. look how much plastic this man has. let's get it. their leader since the tone. he's gone the professor like the mastermind in the t. v series. one was i'm gonna go to beg, people need to understand that the government alone account change thing will be i, when the demand for plastic poles, they'll be less on offer until we all work together. nothing will change. madame ne, gotta get up with resumes veiled along with their plastic ice. the activist

also organized theater performances to illustrate just how big a problem, plastic pollution is, and to give passers by pos for thought. i go to my did the was by sometimes you think about picking up the trash lying around, but then you just leave it there may go to them. but when others take the initiative that's quite encouraging to do. oh hm. how may i please don't the government, medically it makes it easier to do your part easier. got them up. the plastic robbers say most people don't realize just how destructive plastic is, but a sheesh whom are hasn't given up hope of making a real difference. especially now the group has had some success law sticky or that are many activities make a powerful impression. big boy, he will talk about what they've seen at home with their family and friends hospitals where we went out there naturally. something like that has a factor. ah,

the group plans to conduct more plastic high surround delhi in the coming months, even in the face of great resistance, they planned to keep raising a ruckus until india's capital is plastic free. ah, and and that, so from us at global 3000 this week, thanks for watching. and we love hearing from you. so drop us a line to global 3000 d w dot com and check out to our facebook page to dw global ideas. see next time take care ah, with

who ico india ah, the glaciers are melting. climate change shows it's true face. and indian state is a mash del pradesh. ah. the solution?

reducing c o 2 through e buses. will this was in 30 minutes on d. w. o lab has no limits. love is for everybody. love is live. i love matters and that's my new podcast. i'm evelyn sharma. and i really think we need to talk about all the topics that more survive and deny that this i have invited many deer and, well i guess, and i would like to invite you to an end. ah, i think is everything challenging, fair,

some are big. i'm listening so much different culture between here and there. so challenging for everything. ah, and to some of this i think it was worth it for me to come to germany. shop my got my license to work as a swimming instructor on dish and now i teach children monday. don't stay with what's your story? take part. share it on info, migrants dot net. ah ah, will you become a criminal? mm franklin. i already know that with hackers and paralyzing the tire societies, computers that out. so you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work,

how they can go for it. but how they can also go terribly, watch it on youtube. ah ah, this is dw news coming to live from berlin. italy takes a hard turn to the right. the conservative alliance sweeps to victory in sunday's election with georgia maloney set to become italy's 1st. all right leader. since the 2nd world war. also in the program, people in iran defy govern.
