is from berlin, you can find much more on our website, d, w dot com. ah ah . in modern life, we are always on the move, whether they're getting around or shipping goods across the globe. a modes of transportation are convenient, but they're damaging the environment. how can we make mobility more sustainable? that's what we've talked about today. hello and welcome to eco, india. i'm some of that, a good rickshaws. have been around since the late 1800 and are largely accepted. ebony mention of japan only hadn't drawn pictures be the we're for cycled week shots and later. the motorized worship autos as the cold here in india on

a primary mod of local transportation for many indians. but the heavy f when you just eat across can help solve this problem and address others to ah philip m m bertha la begging her. when i drive, i feel a sense of freedom. i don't like being cooped up in a house. had made an elegantly image in there, i used to think women should stay at home had made and now i can't stay indoors for a single day. begging i am full bodied anna, can i make the only rest? they're being self employed afford letter been that freedom. 3 years ago, she was working 12 hour shifts in a storm quarry and learning a bit and see now she has her own electric picture that she has her own boss. is this a deal for a our garage formerly known as alabama is located at the confluence of the ganges

and the yamuna river in the northern state or whatever beach it's home to some one and a half 1000000 people. let our beans life changed when a social enterprise helped her to become financially independent. since 2015, the company s m v green solutions has reached out to people who are marginalized due to their gender cast or class. it offers to don them into green entrepreneurs as either char, honors, and drivers. no more either neglect. my bagel was finance at her. so i didn't have to make the down payment myself. ma'am, if we could pay the loan back at our own convenience. im installments of just repeat 2000 or 2 piece, 2500 and my name a good battery. i paid back the loan in 4 months it would be $15000.00 and daughter . but ive been until at 1 o'clock if that's equivalent of 200 euros. now lily

davina is one of some $130.00 female, either char drivers and author british, who also on their vehicles me directions provided by the social enterprise, come briefly with cameras and gps tracking systems that are connected to local police stations, operating in 515. and what 10 villages across the state, the taxi service also affords greater freedom to the women who use it, use. it is customary that women will not move out to a market or to a hospital without a male member accompanying. now they are comfortable sending the women with the women, but i was meant that son, joseph, or when this be a woman driver, we also feel better about traveling alone. the need for

compact green, quick transport options has never been more pressing in pro garage, for example, about 80 percent of all commercial vehicles are diesel rickshaws. about 2 thirds of air pollution related deaths in india are associated with these illegals can help counter that provider. they have many advantages, they never refuse to take passengers and eating shows cause no pollution at all. that's not completely true. electric richard like little beans, have vito emissions keeping the des cleanup, but the battery production process m. it's greenhouse gases, and an india 70 percent of the energy required to reach out to li goes, come some cold. still there clearly a step in the right direction. every helix or able to save boom metric tons of carbon by the ear. as i may sandwiches, you know,

done by its competitive products like i see in the patrol article. and if you see with our customer base alone with 2500 people, we are having more than 5000 metric tons of carbon buddy. eating shows make up less than 10 percent of india auto industry, but s m b green solutions is optimistic. it has more than 2 and a half pounds in your chair, drive those across their produce and possibly hard acquired vehicle ownership. that customers have a good return. second, the legal requirements are list, so most of the, the forgot permit free part. many states are now banning new registrations and permit for the diesel and patrol or toes in the city. yet for the time being only a field of drivers, switching from petrol or diesel vehicles to electric once habit and also people

walk appear to be the main reasons for their reluctance. what is happening? introduce the market, is there out of fleet margins who have a fleet of 10 to 15 to 100 exploits are told i am talking about it when i reckon and then pick to the people on delhi high. they live until it's very hard for us all for a customer or above them from my life community to deal with the way it is stakeholders in april system. so dealing with the vehicle manufacturer, the dealing with the department dealing with the insurance company from facilitating bank loans and insurance to helping with paperwork with the regional transport office and also offering smart battery swap system. the social enterprise is trying to make it as attractive, uneasy as possible to become an easy chair driver. loaded the beam and husband

mckendra at a modern couple. they have a 4 year old son and she had a child care taking it and turns to go to work. my hands also dies in either shop on a living. he's always supported his wife in her work. but in venice and v green solutions told me that women were driving eating shows these days, and i checked with my husband. he said, yes indeed they were. and he asked me if i was interested in learning and that he would help me. but only if i wanted to, i told him to instantly, yes, i want to drive the hung elena. most of the was goof on transported by a big ship, with the, with 70 percent of them. at containerized cargo by the international shipping, industrial produces as much carbon dioxide each year as a big industrial country like germany. our reporter done deeper into why shipping

remains on go to ward, to transport goods between countries. take a look at your standard t shirt. where does it come from? the label says made in turkey or mexico or bangladesh, but that's only part of it's heavy journey. the cotton probably comes from lubbock, texas. it's then woven, treated breached and died across the ocean in china, cut in stone into a t shirt and bangladesh sent back to the u. s. a couple of clicks later. it's traveling across another ocean, say to berlin, where it sold for, for euros. 99, it sounds like madness, but it's actually shipping. shipping is so cheap that some aspects seem absurd. so for example, it rains 247 in belgium, yet we buy our water is bottled in south pacific fish gets caught in the north sea. it then goes frozen to asia, where it split it and it said back, but there is

a hidden cost to these curiosities. the full price of shipping is being paid by the environment in relative terms, shipping is very efficient, transporting one ton of cargo em. it's 16 grams of c o 2 per kilometer. it's over 10 times that by road and by air it's a lot more. but in absolute terms, it's an absolute nightmare. is she a distance? is that mean that is a mission stack up and become a problem. lucy, gillian works for sees at risk and association of n g o's working to protect the oceans 80 cents. it ships abounding heavy fuel, no riches. i really think viscous pulling to feel it's kind of, it's one step away from tommy, you know, the industry emits as much as all the coal plants in the u. s. and just

a bit less than aviation, but somehow shipping escape scrutiny. shipping is the only sector it doesn't pay for carbon pollution. find a bass off leads the shipping program at transport, an environment and enjo campaigning for cleaner transport. it's the only sector that doesn't pay taxes on the fossil fuels uses. it doesn't pay the 80 percent, the global leaders, they agree to impose 15 percent global minimum corporate taxation rate that was on one second. that was exempt as shipping. but how can that be given the scale ships handle some 90 percent of global trade? then there's a strange little enigma. imagine something going wrong on a japanese built american owned tanker. sailed by a philippine crew managed by a cypriot sailing from china to canada and international waters. who do you blame?

well, maybe panama, panama, marshall islands, liberia, bahamas malta. this 5 countries, which you don't really hear on our, on a daily basis, right? they're not really big powers in the global politics or even economics. they are the king makers when it comes to shipping. that's because of a system called flag of convenience. the practice began during the prohibition era selling alcohol in the usa was illegal. so passenger ship owners began registering their ships in panama, so they could serve drinks on board. the international maritime organization is the only body that can set policy for the entire sector. it's a un agency task with, among other things, fighting climate change, but as done the opposite. there are multiple reasons. first of all, at the imo members face are normally represented by the ministries of transport.

they want to promote shipping aviation and so on and so forth. climate, the environmental challenges that has not been traditionally speaking bear domain that the domain of the climate ministry or environment minister. so this is a kind of structural problem and policies are rarely put to vote. the i am o prefers to rule by consensus, which gives louder voices, a de facto veto power, and number 3, industry has powerful lobbying associations, electricity nations, allegations, and in many cases put pressure on the government's 30 percent of its representatives are not policy makers, but business people the highest number in any un agency ah managed build as a big ships to exploit economist trait, the evan neighborhood industries to create one year a bikini and t shirts that it just said cheat that people think of them is

disposable. and that's been facilitated by cheap shipping. that doesn't pay for it please. sure. ah, when it comes to emissions is absolutely no excuse how slow the shipping industry is being to address that. it's just is absolutely shameful. mm. but momentum for change is building. it's recognized that we can't so climate change with that will say, so thing the emissions problem from shipping. the european union is taking a leading role to force companies to reduce emissions. and innovation can be a huge help. more believe technology such as batteries for short, distance vessels, green hydrogen, or getting hydrogen bays, fuels can fill that gap and fully to come in either sector. but it takes good timing and effort to turn a tanker around and the i m. o has displayed neither shipping has been showing that it can move swiftly when it comes to reforming itself with thing that is possible.

it is doable, but it's not going to happen on his own fan. it's the regulations that mandate switch to those sustainable behaviors. sustainable technologies on the shipping companies need to renew ships would be far more expensive, but a german conservation group has worked out that those $499.00 t shirts would then cost just $0.02 more. sometimes small changes can leads to big results in kenya, for instance, fishermen were offered the chance to swap the engines on their boats from diesel electric baldwood. let's take a look at how much of a difference it's made for they work. and they said on dings. ah asked dusk fools, jared, utter know heads out on to lake victoria. since he started using an electric motor, he and his team no longer have to breathe m exhaust fields. and it's not as noisy

either. or tina was one of the few fishermen here who started using an electric motor last year. it's much easier before he was constantly having to change gears or so. you have to be careful with their propeller dublin. so really to tubes. it might order me get contact with her manila you the 1st 3 all the gear. so removing you'd have gum cumbersome reviews. one you just do just automatically come up with a mac. the fishermen use solar lamps to mark out the area where they plan to cast their large net. with the lights slowly attracts the fish to the surface. then in the early morning, they pull up the neck. the nights are long on the lake,

only after 12 hours do. the fisherman returned to me again. a beach in the town of m, b t r a t n a share the proceeds of the cat with the other fisherman, after deducting expenses, i'm sure he only has the electric motor and batteries on loan from a company called or salvo laboratory. every morning he returns the used batteries, and in the evening he receives a freshly charged set, a sober rents out the motors for the equivalent of around $38.00 euros a month. the batteries cost 7 years 50 per day. a lot of money for fishermen here. the dutch started a sober, had to do a lot of math to develop this business model. they saw the batteries and motors from germany. here in kenya, they have technicians who take care of the repairs and maintenance. they also offer a 24 hour service. if there are problems on the water,

the fishermen have to corn their rescue number that we can resolve on call. but sometimes when their technical issues are not in a position to be solved during that time, we have to, we have to send out as to what to go, pull them back, or maybe change something, a component of the engine for that matter. the batteries are equipped with gps track is so that the boats can be precisely located in case of emergency. more than 15 fishermen have signed a contract with the company. i saw those working to improve their offer to get more customers. it's made contact with companies in kenya and uganda that refurbish used batteries. these could be rented out to the fisherman at a cheaper rate. in the 2nd life batteries will make them more duleigh. so that also we might, we mimic the current operations of our customers, but if it were come on to war far, we give them more bodies. then we tried this rich, i'd feed, but see like you don't go far. we give you full batteries. you want to go short

distance, we give you one or 2 batteries and you pay for what you are used. a sofa is the 1st company in kenya to invest in e, mobility on water. and one of the few in general on the countries e markets around $25000.00 bows out on lake victoria every day. and many of them belong to kenyan fishermen who used combustion engines, which pollute the lake and home the fish population. often the fishermen only get small silver sy printed from the lake and they catch quotas have also declined in recent years. jared or tina is wife and mother take care of the catch every morning, 1st drying it and then selling it as quickly as possible. the fish are the main source of income for the family of 12. they also use the money to pay the school fees for their, for children. and i've even managed to build a 2nd, but jared atlanta wants to equip this one with an electric motor too. he has

a plan for his family. i'm praying god willing that my children know to be fishing was so be suited of us or another system does. why? now, i'm so put in a discussion provider who did wishful from bear b if they're employed to become turned my, our life. jared, a t n o has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors. but he and a sofa, a still among the pioneers of e mobility and it will take many more like them to see a benefit to like victoria and it's fish to be more by is a gift for each one of us. it's our ticket to participate in social life. r d met a woman taxi driver in bang blue was breaking stereotypes and paving the we for more women to be independent, one drive at

a time. 99 percent of the drivers in india. i'll meet the now i'm one of the few women that think it my name is lee john seen when with me, i'm to wendy 2 years old and i'm a taxi driver can get at every one stairs at me when i drive by dancing and learn about them by different people react differently mighty wrap up. some people are amused, my thumb smile by some will purposely overtake and cut me off when any award that holds up to my some girls and tell me to drive by the door and some ours. if i even know how to drive a nail or whatever like that with blue ah, going on. i heard about an opportunity where women could take driving lesson city.

a part of monotony. everything is controlled by men at the moment and we may not all press god until another year be now not just when it comes to driving, a vehicle, whatever, then let us be equal. we are all human being uh, letting out a lot of money and on the phone with me. ah, i live in a slum in bank and all here. there is a lot of alcoholism among manno dane, this lemma. women who live in the slum work, se rebirth upper mind, vegetable sellers and garbage collectors are coming up with a bit of there's not much money to me and a lot and there aren't many opportunities for improving your situation. either. zelmer had a life, you are a sleeper, you will probably the us, we put in money,
