made with power. how a town on the outskirts of berlin is successfully mastering the energy transition after the flood, and how the effects of climate change are causing to spare and pakistan. with 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 parts 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. ben extreme monsoon rains con, unprecedented floods. ah,

i hope is lost. there's nothing more the doctors can do it. elisa is dead. i father bashir ahmad world collapses. his 7 year old daughter is gone and 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. today, her grieving father makes the painful journey home with his daughters body. so many in pakistan are suffering for this year 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 i only private ones that we can't afford because i just want to say that no one should have to go through this. oh, that guy every one should be able to get help. when they're ill, damn it. oh, it couldn't be any day. 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. it gets worse because there's not even basic health care and i'm going to the people endure it with great strength of it to your desk. but it's heartbreaking to see neil we're lacking in everything. goes 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, if and more and more people are coming and we can send anyone away or send them

home because these people no longer have a home kid i am pacific at am. the government needs to do something quickly. ho. villages have to be rebuilt and houses repair to nadia yet can lay the water that rush 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 depended on aid for them. 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. ha, ha ha, 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 shuttling so we sleep on the floor. i mean, but we were brought to this dry place by the grace of our profit. otherwise, there were hardly any dry places left for us. neither gave me a letter, was needy mosquitoes buzz to the air. there's no protection from them or the diseases they may carry. oh yes i and in the morning the family has one more worry. the eldest son has a fever. done general good deal,

the juggler got remodeled as of a dungeon. is it? i'm scared that i'm a little suddenly he wasn't feeling well. a military doctor gave him an injection and said, we better let him sleep. the doctor's luggage, me. pakistan is suffering crises, wars, and increasingly climate change are creating hardship and misery for people like nicea, ahmad, to tell them it's not easy to see light at the end of the tunnel on a high, but hearty honeys is trying to be on similar other 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. um, up gushing that if we just unloaded on the street, and only a few families get everything and others will get nothing at all yet. so to be fair, they 1st give out vouchers to the poorest. who can then pick up the packages?

amarion, we all feel the bird young. we have a lot of work ahead of us who have become good, but we do this for our brothers and sisters in ne, not j up up in indicate that it's a test for all of us in a give me a lima serves society. a lot of beula mean, and this is also an appeal to the rich among us and what help in a time of need. and julia got got 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 one, 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 hm. right. i might, i'm normal, meant to shalicia was really blowing fell time, have fewer worries and the rest of germany at the moment, we have our own grid fees and we make use of local resources. so we're not dependent on oil and gas from russia or the arab world. odella option,

becca bunn. 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 they've heard him. obviously, it was on the people who fell time banded together to operate their own electricity and heating grid. and that's unique in germany. i think i began deutsche bank. that means they aren't reliant on fossil fuels. so for 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 huffman 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 now we were looking for a place inland with good wind conditions and we found that and fell time before noon initially fell times 130 residents were skeptical. they worried the turbines might be loud, unattractive, and harmful to local wild life. but soon they were one over like one to him sighing showed muzzles if we showed them what the project would look like and what it would cause. the toner in that created trusted with non, like we talked with each other a lot and managed to plan 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 once, even when you feel like you're part of the journey, even you're able to put in a veto and shape decisions. when you stop worrying so much that something's going to happen, that you don't want to modify. you know, since the 1st full wind turbines went up, funded by the hush humans, 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 what nobody will with hiding. quinton, more than 2 decades on there are $55.00 turbines. the community still plays a role in decision making and investment, which has helped maintain support and try to go we were the decision on how to finance the whole thing. also from an economic perspective lies with the residence in 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 pop produces enough power for 55000 households way more than the village can use the surplus. 99 percent is sold and fed into germany's national grid. when did the moment full? when open was imperfect once when people began to profit from these items,

shall we say her notes in less than beautiful wind turbines? at 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 near by solar park, meets the energy needs of roughly 604 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 to day, 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 made 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 on idea 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 there occupies organ hottest, or the local utility company refused to provide access to the grid for the local power plant. 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 michelle kirkland cleaning all 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 the cups indicated that the school there was actually no discussion because most of us were willing to make this contribution. i did, i was have now everyone involved as an entrepreneur and is at heart of the decision making process in managing the grid and setting price. i saw at 1st one local utility company was reluctant to buy fair 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 will already reaping the rewards. linguists, 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 that we've been learning about how we can develop self sustainable energy and renewable energy policies. in our communities and in our countries as movies and books, germany 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 do you think you wouldn't being fair time shows that making the switch to renewables doesn't happen over night and that local authorities currently bureaucracy stand in the way yacht noticed? i think he just took a few more when we were lucky that the politicians and our case had brandenburg

department of commerce said back then. okay, if you're proposing a solution, if you, 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. they gave us the green line and that's what made it all possible in o'clock or it and you must be 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 in young, we won't have a rapid energy transition like that. nor will will be able to expand renewable energy production the way the government is currently hoping on pieces. i think the wind was one other, your dream true and it would be nice if the government didn't just announce the energy transition, 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, a separate energy grid might not always be the answer, but cutting some of the bureaucratic hurdles could go a long way to helping communities read 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 doran is heading to work. the bus is already picked up around 30 people, some live together and 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. 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. though about of it is live in it but not everyone'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 are 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. it does not it, it have to concentrate. there are a lot of things that you have to keep your island refill the packaging sleeves. for example, everything has to be just right for our customers. you know, with a 100000000 yogurts are manufactured here every

year in catalonia and on the pl eric 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 factor a 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 any info. but 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, her gala, and she said it frustrated him that people in psychiatric care were rarely given anything meaningful to do what they said the law danica say at work has to produce something that people find useful. something that they'll buy into equal dental notices that look or doesn't matter if it's a product or a service, they'll connect, but it should contribute something to society, but also, you know, whatever their disability. everyone here knows their contribution is valued a few years ago. laugh i gave a added jammed to his product range. it's also been selling well. and that makes the people here proud. it is. one thing is clear, ours is the best. we make it with a lot of love, and that's really important. ah, weather jam, or yogurt,

the same thing always applies. people are more important than boosting productivity . when demand increased, blossomgate 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 love. i gave as yogurt costs 30 percent more than the competition. and yet it's the market leader in catalonia and the ballistic islands. maybe because the ron greedy and sir so fresh from cow 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 in watkins combine, forgot me like people to buy our products because they're good. no,

because they feel pity dinner. ah, instead the market, we're competing against big multinational corporations in alice. over the years, the company has had to reinvent itself a few times new products, more marketing, surviving and business isn't easy. but the most important thing has been to employ as many people as possible. medium doran says there's nowhere else. she would rather work. am wondering if i have a lot of fun here with my co workers. i think we get along, we trust one another. i have to work here until i retire. anything else really bad because i'd have to go somewhere else. all of you. and 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 tomato sauce. either way, they're confident the company will be here, for at least another 40 years. ah.

who's a global team? who in our global team this week comes from ghana, a call . my name is joe la, la. com and i need to know i sprinted i have to sit in my mother is a farmer. sheesh into agriculture, and then my dad is her business. mom. he's in real estate.

a. i like to favor. you're going oh, good. here for war us were are, and i like all kinds of music by the one i like most years go school. but i think that there bigger a while for those are one poverty to hunger for power. and d, illegal mining, which me destroy our what al body so i hope that, oh, when i finish my education, i get a good job to take care of or to help the needy little need help.

i hope to be one of the key scientists. and i'll go quarter, if not, make an impact in broaden sassy no more farmer. and i also hoped to make it more i tracked through and pool loyal employee and that's all from us at global 3000 this week. thanks for watching. and we love hearing from you, so drop us a line to global 3000 and d, w dot com and check out our facebook page to d w global ideas. see you next time. take care. ah ah ah,
