ah, an increasing number of women in latin america are guessing better the needs of murdering and depressing us. fighting against sexism, violence, and full access to abortion. pressure from the street has already proven successful . the opposition is on the rise. went off with much season starts november 25th on dw, with ah, for a few days now head, so states and around 30000 delegates from all over the world. i've been meeting in egypt for cop 27. the global climate summit. there they have been discourse in

progress and measures on how we may still manage to keep global warming below 2 degrees celsius. welcome to a new edition of echo africa. here from olga state nigeria, i am crease elapse, and i am sondra twin over a very one. welcome from me here in complet gander. well, plastic west air pollution, agriculture. they all have an impact on the climate. and all of these issues among med, now, in the next 40 minutes would blow into reese and other pix playing a role at cope 27 and highlight some possible solutions coming up on the show. how up to this in pool hungry south africa, trying to promote solar energy and call on reach countries to find out the fridge to green energy. how aware registers shooting ivory course help to raise

environmental awareness in a walking long district. and program in wonder the shows how environmental education can walk. we start, oh, sure. in egypt where the cope delegates are busy meeting, but hopefully not using disposable plastic dishes or straws. currently, the north african country is the biggest polluter of the mediterranean sea. according to the world wildlife fund, it estimates $2800000.00 pounds of plastic west end up in the mediterranean, every single year. under 43 percent of lot comes from egypt alone. now some young egyptians are trying to stop these animals flawed of plastic. ah, egypt as africa's biggest plastic consumer and it's plastic consumption continues to grow. but where does all of that?

plastic waste and up, some young the jeep. sions have figured out how to dispose it while creating energy or even sustainable products. alexandria is egypt, 2nd largest city, and it's c side. promenade is beloved by locals and tours to like the beaches packed with families on the weekends and many of them, li trash behind. when they leave the heaps of litter have worried nor cazin for a while. now she and other volunteers of fighting the increasing pollution on egypt, beaches the environmental group and lasting egypt has been organized in beach cleanups to help improve the situation for 4 years. now. they've already collected 10 tons of trash and gain some attention in the process. although can you about that fear am is gathering like the power and the impact may not be radical at the

moment. but when be rich and will pass in and switch them, the idea gets bigger. every time people become more aware of the problem wouldn't want to live without it. each year. 12000000000 plastic bags are used in egypt and almost half of them end up as litter on the streets all in the countryside. the rest ends up in landfills. the volunteers from ben lastic dipped hope to put a stop to that the trash they collect his giving a new life. that man headed with this type of trash just exempt the landfills and get buried. but now you've started collaborating with a company called environs adapt virus. we'll give them the trash and to turn it into a few how a law and varone adapt processes, plastic waste and produces 1000 tons of fuel from it. annually, the trash is sorted and shredded. the cement factory uses the fuel made from the plastic in order to make its production more sustainable. around 10 percent of

alexandria is trash now goes through this process. when you look at the ways that we are dealing with its it's very contaminated because we don't have segregation a source in egypt. so we take those materials, we feed it into the processing line that we have here. and the output is ah, material that is in a physical form that can be used to replace fossil fuels. environmental experts see this as only a 1st step towards the real circular economy. when we produce alternative fuel pima reuse, a significant amount of the materials volume, no, it won't give them a salary. fig value of the sheets value. the result, high burning is on the other hand and i want my burn trash on. still still, i don't have any control over the burning luisa smoke into the air in walton calls respiratory illnesses. as long robert and marcia lan and colleen for a fat one to do more than converts plastic ways to energy. that's why they started

their recycling start up tile green in 2021. the process, plastic bags, containers and single used plastics from the food industry. the material was cleaned shredded, melted, and made it to break. so tiles we don't use the theme and that all we don't use any types of chemicals, ola, the our main ingredients is low value and undecidable, plastic waste. and we just add some natural material like sun, for example, tile green plains, to save around photons of carbon dioxide for every 100 square meters of plastic tiles. the manufacture plus the tiles are more robust than cement something they're eager to demonstrate to customers. our product doesn't produce any emissions from the process of finding fact, shaving and when manufacturing the files compared to a cement that produces

a lot of carbon emissions and consumes a lot of water during the production. our product can be 100 percent recycled again and doesn't produce any anyways. the startup manufacturers, 1400 square meters of sidewalk tiles every month. that's around $480.00 tons of recycled single use plastic every year. compared to the millions of tons of plastic waste, any chips generates every year that may not seem like much, but it shows the recycling has a lot of potential of egypt to volunteer trash collectors from ban lastic egypt approving it. the young activists so already planning their next, each clean up in alexandria. plastic waste on the beach is in preteen, but at least it can be picked up. al pollution is something totally different. in south africa, coalfields you can't see and feel the polluted air. but what can you actually do

about it? exactly, sandra bala, lenny is where almost all those south africa's cold and energies produced. the name in the good language even means place of cold. while the people they are suffering and what the future without co but the road ahead is still long and complicated. ah, south africa's economy is powered by coal, but critic site, this comes out of massive cost. the science is dead, evolution is akila and a full government needs to and then we need to. additionally, my hat is bleeding for the people who are living in this area and they are getting poor every day. 80 percent of the countries energy is produced by 12 coal fired power stations. in the south african cold belt. in 2019, greenpeace declared the area to be one of the most polluted on earth. every

dcsf value car suffering every day. we can't breathe. would you even ask yourself whether you're going to wake up alive? he la black gyla baltazar. you lie awake the whole night without sleeping wholly night because you can't breathe because often according to medical when glen dr. glove was practiced in nym. aline is right in the cold was age. if me do do zealot and what nazi is breathing heavily while she's been having problems for years, the condition has worse and, and she's concerned with as look of blasting. does lot of mine's her round the age polluted what taste polluted. so obviously you gonna have to rectify spirit, toyota is quite often we get bronchitis, we do get chronic sinusitis. we do get awesome because of the environment is why the mother of 4 has sent 3 of her children to other parts of the country because

their health was poor. now she feels for herself. she works in building and road maintenance. i. d, king i in that there is no way i can do work like that crazy. i have to have to sit down and take a break on the time time. environmental justice group is celebrating that avery history photo and document in the quote unquote deadly a case. the high game in 2022. the constitutional court ordered the government to enforce rules for polluters to meet minimum equality standards. the judgement was celebrated as a landmark case. better, it will only become a reality if less, coal is burnt, but the industry employs almost a $100000.00 people waning itself off coal will have dramatic consequences. promised masula, however, believes that a transition to green energy is vital. she runs vio, county a local environmental

n g o, the land. it's a math though what her dairy was that we used to rely on and it's a we, we started by reason on as, and he hearing from communities opinions on how do they want to see the future without cold vio, county is based on the outskirts of immolate cleaning the n g o installed a solar system on its own roof to show that power production can be taken into the hands of the community. solar can be an opportunity for local job creation and healthier environments according to brooke county. division that my beula propagates with the communities you hutton persevere. lemme changes because for us we are speaking of community 3 that to one in energy that will be a community lead. where it will give space, especially for the young people to create a to manufacture for themselves,

to make sure they put their desolate p. v. in the community roof talks, we have our own station in the in. but can solar really replace power plants? and how can communities finance their own green power. ready thomas, some new new deals with these questions. he works for groundwork, an organization that advocates for a just energy transition with new and better jobs, social justice, and poverty eradication. for money, the cost of renewables cannot be compared to coals, irreplaceable human loss. a 2017 study commissioned by groundwork was an eye opener that it was indicated that about 2220 people are dying annually because of evolution. it more than 10000 people are hospitalized because all for the study problems, i think um we part of all confusion price in

a perfect balance between a development and, and that i to health. so it's not an either or situation. we can't develop the economy at the same time taking care of people's health. the world health organization makes air pollution responsible for about 8000000 premature deaths annually. more than h, i v aids, malaria, and tuberculosis together for the urgency to act as shared amongst the delicates of the african coal network conference in durban. the yearly gathering brings representatives of coal affected communities together to discuss the energy future of the continent, and goni and my beula are also there. while the situation is dire, many of the delicates also see opportunities to build better energy systems for more resilient societies. oh, info, and that's what i way example fossil feels to not pasta local initiative. in fact,

local or 4th abuse. actually lock people into being really what will be quoted being controlled, you know, by foreign investments. so actually reporting to was viable energy. was there something that still shinny and democratic iraq, so all this is not just going to be any issues, but on the broad developments because the energy system is enshrined in global system of diflucan effect as much benefit africa. according to the delegates, rich industrialized nations should pick up the bill for the transition as compensation for polluting the atmosphere for the last 200 years. for me, quite noisy, the transition cannot come quick enough. after picking up her daughter from kindergarten, she returns home. her electricity has gone. rolling outages are affecting the neighbourhood up to 3 times a day. a bitter irony that those suffering from the pollution of the ones being cut from power. guanasha and a daughter of gotten used to the dark,

but there's always an uneasy feeling. what donkey in i will show her lunch too. i'm always afraid. one of my daughter was so could she made when the attack comes, you have to run to the clinically clinic corner law. what pertains to the other day she was so sick, we had to go to the hospital. what was the wood c as in my hand imprinted on to help her on committing tellers, in token local m. c. i was with tie apiece. after spending 5 days in hospital, her daughter got better again. it's high time that the impact of air pollution on people's lives is recognized if better air quality standards aren't implemented around south africa, school fields, the all the options left for residents ah, suffering or moving. but in many cases, local people are also partly responsible for the pollution in the environment. like

when to simply dispose of rubbish on the side of the road or in the river. usually it comes down to a lack of awareness. now a radio program in ivory coast shows the way on it's are doing your bit this. ah, finally, some one is listening when the women in abidjan super gone district talk about the problems in their neighborhood. unique a maya cuckoo is doing just that. he's a journalist for audio. shannon has your web radio station which concentrates on topics concerning climate change and the environment. and there are plenty of environmental problems in upa gone. garbage is everywhere. the water is filthy and dead. it stinks of refuse. without a trash collection system, the garbage ends up on the side of the road or in the banks of the rivers in exist unique america who refuses to accept that. if everyone worked together,

they could make big changes without waiting for government health drugs or bol davila. we took a bought sustainable development in the big capitals, but it's the application that matters. it is the way the local people live in your office. just listen. conrad hardy or jennifer seal has been on the air since 2018. it's 17 programs are dedicated to the you and 17 development goals and the journalists from vision and the you paul go neighbourhood, aim to encourage the cities, residents to work together and take action themselves and solving the neighborhoods, environmental problems, patios in that us, your is only available on the internet, but they hope that soon they'll be able to broadcast over real radio waves where they can reach an even bigger audience. and how about you? if you are also doing your best, tell us about it, visit our website,

or send us or tweet past eg, doing your bit. we share your stories. it can also be a problem. when people know too much about the impending climate catastrophe. yes, greece, the consequences can be psychological, estrace, and even fear for the future in france, volunteers can own land, how to help people suffering from climate uncertainty. forest fires. storms, floods, gte, waves and droughts. for many, 2022 was the here that climate change started hitting very close to home summer times or the south of france ravaged by forest fires. scores of people had to leave their homes. holiday makers had to be evacuated as cam sites in vacation. resorts

were engulfed by flames. firefighters spend weeks battling the blazes which continue to rage, the fires the devastation in their wake, and a wide spread feeling of fear that global warming will increase the frequency of such wild fires in coming years. in 2021 and international study, questioned young people in 10 countries about climate anxiety. nearly 60 percent of those who answered said they were extremely worried about it. 75 percent said the future is frightening. 54 percent said climate change made them feel powerless and helpless, and 45 percent feel their daily lives are negatively affected by it. in france, 1st aiders are now being trained to help people suffering from panic attacks or mental health problems as a result of climate anxiety. he's a volunteers can sign up for the psychological 1st aid courses this close on the

one month. so there's a lot of environmental stress at the moment. you can really feel it measure before we never talked about it all. as a teacher, i never talked about it. ha ha, says i'm in the environment was never mentioned body, but now the issue was coming out in discussions about trauma. now it's not unusual for the subject to come out, but it participants learn how to best respond. first aid could actually be just a glass of water or a tissue job, or it could be an offer to talk or to help reach out to relatives. in serious cases, they can refer those suffering to a doctor or therapist, but many of them here have already encountered this kind of situation as a book with up open you must go to while i do a lot of tutoring for examples in secondary schools. and in fact, in recent years, i've noticed an increase in stress set and learning difficulties i did. if he could get up halter says over to him, we always think of physical help in helping someone who has collapsed or been

injured in an accident. but we don't always think of people with mental health problems right now. there's a lot of them. so far, 30000 volunteers of taking the mental health 1st aid training course in france. the plan is that by 2028, 700. 50000 people will be trained. it's a great initiative, but perhaps the best way to deal with climate change is to take action to stop it from getting worse. climate activists hope the demonstrations will bring about a shift in awareness. and it seems to be working one projects in ronda is showing future generations that it is better to protect animals than hunt them down. that's a tough composition though, since there is a long tradition of hunting in the country, let's have a look. ah, good. so, so what kind of monkeys are these?

what habitat do they need, and what are the threats the faces on these youths belong to an environmental club? he teaches them about wild animals in the hopes they will help protect species, diversity and port peaceful coexistence between people. and their fellow creatures, the initiative founder and head, arch money shim, we expect great things from the students. you have to protect the environment surrounding you. but as the, when you find in many more in the community, you can advocate for it. don't keep the animals, don't disturb or cut the trees. always think that when you are protecting the environment, trees, animals, you are protecting your sales of well about a new good national hon. that is a treasure true for biological diversity. the 1068 plant species have been counted here. and many of these grasses and trees unfound in any of the forests or parks. e

. rwanda. what is not just the greenery that's unique? the park is home to $322.00 species of birds and making it a great spot for bird watching twice a month in many shim way, and his group explore the national park, hoping to encounter some of its 75 species of domestic mammals. like chimpanzees or rare owl faced monkeys, but at school they learn more about what they've seen. this project is part of her wand and government initiative will allow you to look into you guys you debug over did a little bit of glow. what if it does conflict? would you lose that teaching you educating you and having you taking a theory, tulsa, that is the promise. oh, deficient the people seek their mission seriously. they're assuming

responsibility for the environment by preserving its plants and animals, gama co amended, and these environmental clubs is to be right on the front line for environmental protection. now one, the one that it's on acceptable for people who am their varman, to be left to their own devices. they must be shown the right way of reporter to the authorities like the refuse to change the attitude arca, about that coin usually with the teacher. with more than $400.00 people per square kilometer rwanda's population density is very high. so folks keep encroaching on nature with disastrous results while species diversity. the partial settlement of a could gara, national park has led to the disappearance of many lions and rhinos. so the government wants to sensitize, not just school kids under a full who cannot avoid, are invoking those wouldn't move to school. on weekends,

school groups visit villages to spread their message. care for wild animals don't set traps or chopped down trees. often they propose a treat. villagers can receive farm animals in exchange for giving up hunting. lemme just 7 before and as 30 districts take part in the environmental club project. but that could some change youths make up some 2 thirds of the country's population. so their help is key to preserve the species diversity. what a great project, i hope the idea catches on in other countries. above all, i hope the cop delegate in egypt will agree and useful measures to protect our world. well, does it from us see you next week? i am chris alone in august, the my jerry exactly, crease because we have to do everything we can to protect this one planet that we have to stop global warming. and just maybe our sure made
