[000:00:00;00] ah ah, welcome to global 3000 made with long how original specialty in spain helped special people find work and happiness made with power. how a town on the outskirts of berlin is successfully mastering the energy transition. after the flood, how the effects of climate change are causing despair and pakistan. widespread destruction with many dead and injured hurricane ian recently

devastated areas in the u. s. state of florida. in 2022, the consequences of climate change are being felt around the world. with severe droughts and east africa, europe and arts of the us forest fires are getting worse. heat waves are affecting humans and animals alike. pakistan has been hit twice this year in spring, a drought lasting several weeks brought temperatures of up to 50 degrees celsius. then extreme monsoon rains caused unprecedented floods. august hope is lost. there's nothing more the doctors can do it. elisa is dead. i father bashir. maud's world collapses. his 7 year old daughter is gone.

with. lisa had been battling a fever for days. she had malaria. the family had been trying to find a doctor and medication by the time they got to the hospital, it was already too late. did her grieving father makes the painful journey home with his daughter's body? so many in pakistan are suffering from sheer am on the pain is unbearable. oh, more than 1500 people died in the floods or have lost their lives to diseases in the aftermath. oh, i got a big bubble. my father died of a fever a week ago, and now my daughter,

simply because there are no hospitals or doctors here and the only private ones that we can't afford because i just want to say that no one should have to go through this other guy every one should be able to get help when they're ill. tell ya. oh, which beneath a but the harsh reality is that there's not enough help for the many who needed. the magnitude of the disaster is too huge. the monsoon brought much more than the long awaited rain. it's catastrophic flooding has impacted 33000000 people. many now only have a tent for shelter. the emergency cancer full. some foreign aid including food and medicine has arrived, but it's not enough. aid workers are doing what they can, but the task is overwhelming. not spinning us are funny. we're seeing infections on people's skin, their eyes and throats every day gets worse because there's not even basic health

care and i'm going to the people endure it with great strength after your death. but it's heartbreaking to see neil we're lacking in everything was out of the people are living in unsanitary conditions. they're not getting enough food. they don't have clean drinking water. it's hardest on pregnant women nursing mothers and small children in the fan. in the wake of the floods, a wave of disease is sweeping across the country and in the world health organization has called it a 2nd disaster. but yeah, like i said it more and more people are coming and we can send anyone away or send them home because these people no longer have a home kit. i yup. is sort of a good idea. the government needs to do something quickly. whole villages have to be rebuilt and houses repaired. lady elliot can lay the water that rushed down the himalayas was incredibly powerful. this shopping street was turned into a raging river. livelihoods were wiped out. people were literally up to their necks,

in water. survival is now the only thing that matters. many were killed in the floods. others barely made it out at the last moment. essential crops like wheat were destroyed. many have gone to higher ground where there's nothing to do but wait. some have been here for weeks with little hope of returning home any time soon. they can no longer work and are dependent on aid platinum. their house is gone. the cattle are dead. in the fields they once worked are flooded. they were always poor, but the parents have always been able to feed their family. now they have to start over from scratch. however, i'm, this is very hard from my wife and children at up. it's bad here. we can't even

wash that. there are no beds for us out of me, so we sleep on the floor. i mean, but we were brought to this dry place by the grace of our prophet. otherwise, there were hardly any dry places left for us. neither gave me and let a vase, needy mosquitoes buzz to the air. there's no protection from them or the disease as they may carry. yes, i. 7 and in the morning the family has one more worry. the eldest son has a fever. done general good deal, the goggle, a little garden auto villa dungeon? is it? i'm scared that m a suddenly he wasn't feeling well. a military doctor gave him an injection and said, we better let him sleep, look is rather gum pakistan is suffering crises, wars, and increasingly climate change or creating hardship and misery for people like nicea, ahmad, to hell,

it's not easy to see light at the end of the tunnel on my butt, hearty, her niece is trying to be on him. rather young. he's doing well. his business is driving and his home town of le whore was spared on the floods. he sees it as his duty to help. he's organized food drives and takes care of the deliveries himself, hung up goodbye. shindig that if we just unloaded on the street, go then only a few families get everything and others will get nothing at all. yeah. so to be fair, they 1st give out vouchers to the poorest, who can then pick up the packages amadi and we all feel the bird yet. we have a lot of work ahead of us however you have become good nicky. but we do this for our brothers and sisters in ne, not g, upland yuki bad. it's a test for all of us in mckinney, ne, a. lima serves society, a lot of beula mean, and this is also an appeal to the rich among us. and my help in her time of need and julia got it. the packages will keep these people going for

a while. they carry them through the flood water back to the islands of higher ground where they've been holding on, and where they must continue to survive. russia's invasion of ukraine has made it clear to europeans how dependent they are on energy supplies from abroad. the latest shock came when several gas pipelines in the baltic sea were seriously damaged. many worried that there could be a blackout in the winter despite rising costs and climate change, most energy worldwide is still mainly generated by fossil fuels. petroleum accounts for the largest share with one 3rd, followed by coal, and natural gas. but when it comes to electricity production, the share of renewable energy is on the rise. in 2021, it was

a 28 percent solar and wind power mean more independence. and they could also supply the 840000000 people worldwide, who still have no electricity a small village in germany, south of the capital berlin is proving that a future without dependence on fossil fuel is possible. mm. right. i might, i'm normal men, fish. i wish i was really born, fell time, have your worries and the rest of germany at the moment. we have our own grid, 50 feet, and we make use of local resources. so we're not dependent on oil and gas from russia or the arab world hotel with hobbs, rebecca bowden. this is the 1st and only fully energy self sufficient village in germany, fed time around 70 kilometers south of berlin has done what many other places can only dream of. for more than a decade, it's produced all its own energy, heat, and electricity. here come from wind, sun and agricultural waste,

and that's not all the paradigm. obviously it's as i'm the people who felt i'm banded together to operate their own electricity and heating grid. and that's unique. in germany. i audition board found that means they aren't reliant on fossil fuels. so their time residents are paying around a 3rd as much for heat and electricity compared to the rest of germany. so how did fair time pull it off? what can other communities and cities in germany and around the world learn from their success? let's take a look. do in and michelle hoffman came up with the idea of producing renewable energy back in the 19 ninety's. they started scouting for locations long before wind power was popular ram that we were looking for a place inland with good wind conditions. and we found that and felt hired foreign initially fell times $130.00 residents were skeptical. they worried the turbines might be loud, unattractive, and harmful to local, wild life. but soon they were won over my canadian tying sold muzzles it's. we

showed them what the project would look like and what it would causal toned in that created trusted with non luggage. we talked with each other a lot and managed to find compromises with everyone involved with. it's often one of those involved erecting the wind turbines, further away from the village than required by law. and was the thing that when you feel like you're part of the journey, when you're able to put in a veto and shape decisions, then you stop worrying so much that something's going to happen, that you don't want the mock that you know. soon the 1st full wind turbines went up, funded by the hush, hammonds, it was the start of the face time, energy miracle. the proof to allow any of the 5th one that was built here was a turbine that was paid for by the citizens of fell time and other villages in the area. not knowledgeable, but hiding quinn more than 2 decades on there are 55 turbines. the community still plays a role in decision making and investment, which has helped maintain support. yeah. try it on god. we were the decision on how

to finance the whole thing. also from an economic perspective lies with the residents that you need. so they really take responsibility into their own hands and that means as a fell time residency, i really have 2 seats at the table. one is a customer, and one is an entrepreneurial. otherwise we're done. yema the wind power produces enough powerful 55000 households way more than the village can use the surplus. 99 percent is sold and fed into germany's national grid when the implement full when open was imperfect once when people began to profit from these guns shall we say, and who knows less than beautiful wind turbines. thus, does the discussion around their more annoying aspects. ruin started to subside from mrs. it was a problem, lawson mill fare, time harnesses, more than wind and nearby solar park meets the energy needs of roughly $604.00 person households

and the village took it a step further. they wanted to produce their own heat to hello many residents were wondering back van, just like many people are today, how to best heat their homes in winter and what the options are. so fair time built, it's owned by a gas plant and an integrated thermal power station. it produces heat with farm waste, such as liquid manure, and may signage supplied by local farmers. that means 260000 few releases of costly heating oil each year. and low is c o 2 emissions. the village also launched its own energy company and its own district heating network to distribute the heat generated by the bio gas plant. that worked so well that they decided to create their own electricity grid and become completely autonomous . he was a night you what's special about fell time is that the residents have their own

grid. they're basically buying electricity from the wind park and are actually using that in their houses right here. but it wasn't always easy for energy supply as self sufficient. consumers mean lower profits for saga. at this, the local utility company refused to provide access to the grid for the local power plant, or they just didn't want it on the amazon disease. and they said, this little village, no matter what they do. ah, we're not going to give in ms. kirkland criminal smell. the residence took matters into their own hands. each household invested 3000 heroes into the new grid while another 1700000 euros and seed money came from the e. u and the state of brandenburg pickups indicated that the school there was actually no discussion, but most of us were willing to make this contribution. i did, i was have now everyone involved as an entrepreneur and is part of the decision making process in managing the grid and setting price. i saw at 1st one local

utility company was reluctant to buy fe times excess electricity, citing safety concerns. that was until a storm caused a wide spread power outage and fair time was the only place where the lights were still on. the energy project also brought more jobs into the village, and new families moved in like the yellow toss were all ready reaping the rewards. linguists, although the biggest difference we've noticed is that our electricity bill is now half of what it was. it's not just new residence, so thrilled by fair times. pioneering spirit, thousands of visitors from all around the world. also come every year to see how it all works or levant, though it might. we've been looking at this process and thinking about how we can reduce our dependence on other countries for power, heating and so on or not. or if we've been learning about how we can develop self sustainable energy and renewable energy policies in our communities. and in our

countries, louise and boots are many, has different regions with different conditions. and it's the same for the groups who come visit us from abroad. all open arms from africa, for instance, are especially interested in solar power, as well as self sufficient ways to bring electricity to small remote villages or in the league. you weren't doing fair time shows that making the switch to renewables doesn't happen over night. and that local authorities currently bureaucracy stand in the way you noticed, i think it just took a few my pull. we were lucky that the politicians in our case had brennan burke's department of commerce. like said back then. okay. if you're proposing a solution, if there's nothing that really allows it, but there's also nothing that forbids it was this week. so just try it and prove to us that it were placement of the, gave us the green line and that's what made it all possible. kinda walk through it and give us vague, it's about not standing in the way of people who want to achieve something. approval procedures could be digitized and made easier. it sometimes takes 4 to 10

years to get approval for a wind park. sometimes even longer, we won't have a rapid energy transition like that idea, nor will we be able to expand renewable energy production the way the government is currently hoping on pieces. i think you're wrenched with one other, your dream true. and it would be nice if the government didn't just announce the energy transitions, but also thought it through properly and said, let's take a decentralized approach and con would simply, you could have lots of little fell times powering, all of berlin in florida. is separate energy grid might not always be the answer, but causing some of the bureaucratic hurdles could go a long way to helping communities reap the benefits of home grown green energy. according to the world health organization around 1000000000 people world widely with physical or mental disabilities, it's often hard for them to find their place in society to be accepted and to find work. but it is possible and it can be

a positive and successful experience for all involved. 6 30 am. it's pretty early, but medium jordan is heading to work. the bus is already picked up around 30 people, some live together in residential units. others like medium live with their parents . she says school was never her thing, but the early shift that's no problem. there were some other i know that i prefer working mornings to afternoons. afternoons are bad. or even in the morning it's still nice and cool and after work you still have the whole afternoon free. the other is living. but not every one's in early bird. some are still half asleep. a few of some one to snuggle with or hold hands. the factory where they work is called laugh aga, catalonia, and for beach grove. nestled in this nature reserve our 16 hector's of factory buildings,

vegetable gardens and pastures medium. jordan operates the packaging machine. her colleague folds boxes. everyone does jobs that suit their skill level. they're just out of it have to concentrate there are a lot of things that you have to keep your ion refilling the packaging sleeves. for example, everything has to be just right for our customers. you know, literally in a 100000000 yogurts are manufactured here every year. in catalonia and on the polarised islands, the brand is a top seller lover gaylor puts a premium on inclusion in its workforce, while making sure it's products are a success. and yet some things are different here, like the affection so readily on display is women. if you think really, i think more factory should be like alice, because it's

a good way to work. when i'm like, we're all human, we all need a hug or some recognition, even if it's as simple as someone asking, how are you doing? well, my thought here the work is made to fit the people, not the other way around. that's why some workers can take an extra break or one person does a job while others watch and learn. listening is important to me, the am jordan has regular meetings where she can discuss how she's doing, and if there's anything she wants to change. oh, maria cologne is a psychologist. her father is the founder of love, haga and she said, it frustrated him than people and psychiatric care were rarely given anything meaningful to do what they said the law whole danica say at work has to produce something that people find use for something that they'll buy into april,

a dental legacy, that little boy doesn't matter if it's a product or a service. they look in it, but it should contribute something to society, but i was looking at whatever their disability. everyone here knows their contribution is valued a few years ago. laugh i gave a added jam to his product range. it's also been selling well. and that makes the people here proud. it. one thing is clear, ours is the best. we make it with a lot of love. and that's really important. whether jam or yogurt, the same thing always applies. people are more important than boosting productivity . when demand increased, latha gator could have bought more machines to speed up production. instead, the company bought more pots and hired more workers. making things by hand does not cheap laugh. i gave as yogurt costs 30 percent more

than the competition and yet it's the market leader in catalonia and the bull eric islands maybe because the wrong gradient, sir, so fresh from cal to container. everything is on site and it's been that way for decades, regional and sustainable, long before it was the trend. but as to who was making the yogurt. most consumers had no idea. kate in watkins, combined for carry like people to buy our products because they're good. no, because they feel pity dinner. ah, in cinema it's, we're competing against big multinational corporations analyst. over the years, the company has had to reinvent itself a few times. new products, more marketing, surviving in business isn't easy. but the most important thing has been to employee as many people as possible. medium doran says there's nowhere else. she would rather work. i'm wondering, i have

a lot of fun here with my co workers. when i think we get along, we trust one another. i have to work here until i retire. anything else real bad because i'd have to go somewhere else. all of your money that i had, you know, la, foggy, that has been around for 40 years. and no one here is really worried about the future. as they say, if people stop wanting yogurt, then they'll make to me the sauce. either way, they're confident the company will be here for at least another 40 years. with i am a global t who our global team this week comes from ghana. ah,

ah. oh, my name is jacqueline law. com on file. i mean in their car. i sprinted. i have to sidney with. my mother is a farmer. she is into agriculture and then my dad is a business love. he's into real estate. i want to move, i i like to favey, you're getting aw, this is more as well. i, i like all kinds of music,

but the one i like most years go school. but i think that that big girl, well for those are one poverty to hunger for power l l d, illegal mining, which me destroy our what our body will . i hope that her, when i finish my education, i get her would job to, to k o or to have been needy. those who need help, i hope to be one of the key scientists. and i'll go quarter if no, make an impact in broaden sassy no more farmer. and i also hoped to make it more i talked through and pool loyal employ, and that's all from us at global 3000 this week. thanks for watching. and we love
