11:31 pm
can the planet still be saved? or is human greed going to destroy it? can a book by active as great a tune book prompt us to rethink how we live our lives. and what can indigenous cultures in their relationship with nature teaches we had to no way brazil and africa to find out. and al journey begins on the edge of a rain forest, africa, southwestern cameroon, near the coast, to town of creepy people, a busy building a bit of future. the rain for here is part of the congo basin,
11:32 pm
the world's 2nd largest area of tropical rainforests. after the amazon at the edge of the rain forest walk, a village is taking shape. it's named outrun native african trade. that is a gathering place for the local community. here, people from the region to live in harmony with nature, with the help of traditional materials and technology, old and new. at the heart of walk, a village is not a tree, but a tower. one that can collect and filter up to 25000 liters of rain, water and condensation. them on pale, come on in my country. cameroon, and o. 2 had extremely important and rare commodity. well, no, we travel for the miles to get clean drinking water. today, we were to give loanable communities like the bagley, as well as all the others who needed access to drinking water and, and i retired and up with darby. about jelly family has set up house right next to
11:33 pm
the construction side. they were displaced from their home in the rain forest and could be among the people who move into the village. once it's finished, i was, it's with 8 to 10 families from various communities could live here together in the future. oh no, no, go. we're happy. the project is coming together laportia, we have a job or did that's why we've settled here, is gaila, georgia, but they also want to better their children's future. as in many other regions of the country, the children can't go to school because they have to help ensure their families basic needs. like fetching water for daily use. they often walk for many hours and many kilometers through the forest. the long distance is a one factor. another is health and hygiene. the destruction of the forest in the expansion of cities have ruined the beg,
11:34 pm
yell is home and their access to clean water. i love, we all do our business in the river. the water isn't really drinkable, it's where we use the toilet, where we do our laundry, everything you all, we drink there too. so that was all from the same river that i'm in. walk a village, aims to make lasting improvements to the living conditions of the people in this region. construction began in 2019 italian architect, a tour of the tory is in charge of the project he previously worked on designing settlements for space research projects. so he's no stranger to dealing with tricky environmental conditions. here in africa, you come at own house in architect, have a more chance to work with, you know, natural materials. so being a less industrialized country, we are kind of obliged to go and, you know,
11:35 pm
look for alternative technology which are then other for us or for them on the traditional one. so here people to still leave in madhav's house miguel, to bumble voids earth. traditionally rain forest hots have roofs made of palm leaves and that was the inspiration for walk a village. ah, the homes are designed for families of up to 10 people. this space for a fire pit in the center of the room. the rising smoke should protect the fat tray from moisture and keep insects away. this house in the rain forest, i'm to emulate the traditional lifestyle of the regular people. we've lived here for as long as anyone can remember. but every year, an estimated $4000000.00 hectares of rain forest, a clear on the african continent. this destruction has devastating consequences for
11:36 pm
every one, but especially for indigenous peoples all over the world. the forest has been privatized, the forest issue is going on. and the big news that the lien leaving here for millennium. now that shows of the forest and now they are marginalized. so this is what is her open every day under our eyes. and is also our responsibilities, the north, other western rewards for what is happening. walker village is intended to create new living spaces and trying local people. for instance, as gardeners or skilled tradespeople, residents should be able to live in harmony with nature and be self sufficient. it's a moral project for sustainable architecture, but also a social experiment. on law educators, you must educate each person, i guess at 10 percent. some come here with prior knowledge,
11:37 pm
but the majority of the workers and participants in this project have no experience slip i. and so our projects, not just about building homes, planting flowers or providing a water supply for the boy. it's about training young people, so they can learn a profession and be independent in the future. but also level the projects leaders . hope people can coexist and treat one another with respect a utopia on the outskirts of the rain forest. how promising is the project for the indigenous peoples here? can every one learn to get along with was so walk a mile as we have to learn how to approach one another. now to communicate school, we have a different way of life. from when we must try to understand how the other lives talks and adapter is saying goes the other way around to bible noisy, la la, la la, you know, barbara cautiously reaches out to the bog yearly,
11:38 pm
who have little contact to other social groups. there's a great divide between the cultures of the industrialized world and the indigenous peoples of the rain forest mozy wrote zebra them if they want us all to live here together. who though i was on my village and they must also accept how he lived. it was if he wrote grammar, mama, g, the village should be ready for people to start gradually moving in by 2023. will the conflicts be resolved by then? the children have already made the place their own. and ultimately, that's who the projects visionaries have in mind. the by jellies, knowledge about living in harmony with nature is being lost. walk a village is an attempt to preserve this knowledge and share it with the global north. we'll all pay the price for the planets, exploitation and degradation. that's the message from the world's leading climate
11:39 pm
activist gretta tune berg. and she wants us to know how it connects to the many crises underway in today's world. the climate crisis in a metaphor. when your boss tavis overflowing, you don't go looking for buckets and putting towels on the ground to minimize the damage. the 1st step is to turn off the tap and so that's what we need to do. but that's not what we're doing. on the contrary, we're worsening the situation and belching even more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. we're still pretending that we can soul this crisis without having to change. we're still pretend that we can saw this crisis within our current systems . and by doing so, we are denying the width of this crisis. we spoke to gretchen bergen, stockholm, and the low emissions meeting by video. cool. she didn't want any one flying
11:40 pm
anywhere to discuss her new book. a local camera team helped out. it's the story of the greatest crisis yet to face human kind greeted tune berg's climate book. she co authored it with experts on many disciplines, such as economist tomar, pico t climate. scientists from the global south and writers like margaret atwood. it presents the current state of the science and also looks like historical feelings and at what alternatives remain to us. the basic message is if we want to save our civilization, we can't do it with little changes to how we live and conduct business. we have to re think it fundamentally and radically i current system is based on the fact that we are supposed to grow every year. we are supposed to use more to extract more and to produce more or consume more. and that's not something that is really in line with wither, staying within the planetary boundaries. i mean,
11:41 pm
we cannot have infinite growth and infinite extraction on a finite planet. it just doesn't make sense. ah, what's needed as a system other than the unbridled and self perpetuating hyper capitalism we live in, but it's hard to imagine an alternative, as the activist admits herself. yeah, of course. um. but then again, do we have a choice? is no longer an opinion to say that we need a new system according to the u. s. emissions. gap reports the world's plans production of fossil fuels by the year 2030 is twice as much as what would be consistent with the $1.00 degree target. so it just shows that this is all locked in in our current system. so in order to change that, we need a new system. attempts being made to slow will stop the climate crisis using the
11:42 pm
means that capitalism's disposal, green growth, for example, that 0 emissions growth based on new technologies. but most of these don't even exist, or they're inadequate. this narrative serves only to bolster the corporate green washing tactics and the government's create of accounting. the book offers up a selection of possible approaches to a less successive, more sustainable system. one point is obvious, it will have to be something that's never been tried before. and morally, the ones made to shoulder the greatest burden ought to be the ones who up to now have enjoyed the greatest advantages. that is completely absurd. if you think about it, we let a few privileged people take advantage of this and continue sacrifice, present, and future living conditions in order foot to give themselves the possibility of continuing to make fantasy an amount of money. we know with these people are,
11:43 pm
we know these companies are and we need to hold them accountable on the bare minimum is making them repay the debt and the compensate for the destruction they have. course gretchen berg is also demanding justice for those already fighting on the front lines of the looming disaster. who are feeling the effects of what the countries of the global north have caused. some people say that we are one in the same boat, but of course we are not only in the same boat. we are in the same storm but not in the same boat. many talk about a new form of colonialism that we are now colony lies in the atmosphere that is tightening the grip on, on the people who are already affect effected by, by historic exploitation and so on. and of course, this is also another symptom of that these, these crisis are interconnected,
11:44 pm
social inequality that the climate crisis also now further fueling. griffin berg writes the climate crisis is of course only a symptom of a much larger sustainability. crisis. tackling it calls for ambitious solutions, life changing ones north and scandinavia is home to the last indigenous people of europe. but climate change is threatening the sammy reindeer herders way of life. can on prevent this traditional culture from dying out. it all began with this pile 200 reindeer skulls. former tapestry as a dramatic protest against the norwegian government for forcing sammy reindeer herders to slaughter their animals efficiently because of overgrazing. the artwork named pilar's tucked me became a symbol of the saw me struggle for survival and was already shown at document 14 and 2017 halo sat me worse. most one of the most powerful things i've ever
11:45 pm
experienced. it just had such a great energy. remember, there was such a huge personal grief and anger and desperation from me, from my family, but collectively from our community at that time. so that was a huge part of tyler thought me was to puncture through the silence, you know, to inform a greater public about our realities. in the summer of 2020 to a new work by marlott honor saga was exhibited at the 59th venice be a gnarly and dis 2 concerns reindeer behind chiefs of grass dead reindeer calves from her families. herd symbol is personal loss. this is my carousel of life and death and draw my and hole in in many ways because it wasn't that easy as just to call my my father or brother to bring me some of the
11:46 pm
dead kelves for us. the reindeer is not just an animal. i would maybe call it a relative in a sense the life cycle of the reindeer has always guided the life of the saw me people. margaret on her saga also comes from a family of reindeer herders. a professional traditionally practiced by the saw me people their culture and believes so closely tied to reindeer and a sustainable conception of nature. the indigenous people of the north have been oppressed for centuries, even to day, many have to fight for their survival. margaret on her sorrows, art is about the suffering of her people. when i'm dealing with the most difficult issues, you know where, where the issues are so severe, so personal and so acute that i would, i feel a need to, to put myself there are. so you understand the sincerity of,
11:47 pm
of the message she has even brought the smells of her homeland to venice. this work made of rain. dea attendance smells like the extractions of stressed animals the stench of fear. in contrast to another one that's fresh and pleasant and is meant to symbolize hope you seal so physically and the whole one is much bigger. so that's important in life and hope. 2022 was the 1st time that the nordic pavilion of the scandinavian countries has been dedicated to the sun. mm. is this perhaps a sign of hope? performance artist paulina theodore, from finland and painter under so now from sweden are also exhibiting in the pavilion. all 3 understand their workers, art and as political activism. does this signal meaningful recognition,
11:48 pm
or isn't merely symbolic? saw feels conflicted and agonized over whether she wants to to exhibit at all. norway, in particular, where i'm from, is very good at making our public appearance. you know, as politically correct, air assa, protector of human rights, indigenous rights and nature. whereas in reality, things are quite different and we are in major struggles. the topics addressed here . the concerns and hardships of the saw me may appear far away from venice. but in times of climate change and dwindling resources, they are more relevant than ever. now that these issues are pretty, every one. and now it's a good time to listen to indigenous peoples who have preserved healthy environments for thousands of years. the irony of the fact that her powerful work, which began as a protest against the norwegian government,
11:49 pm
is now on display in the national museum and are slow, has not been lost on her. she had massive doubts when she received the museum's invitation. we lost our case to the government and now the government should also own the art piece, you know, addressing if it was too hurtful to even think about. but then as time went by, i realized that this artwork really had used its powers. so i had a very good conversation with my father and his response was, are you crazy? of course you have to sell a heads. what are we supposed to do with them? margaret auto saga will continue to resist and use her all to educate about the face of her people, even if doing so requires making a few compromises. the rain forest is burning. deforestation, and the brazilian amazon broke old records in 2022. is there any way of reversing
11:50 pm
the unbridled destruction of this unique natural habitat that's been raging and recent years and can art play a role in my nose is an industrial city at the heart of the rain forest in a state of amazon, us a place where untouched nature meets urban life. emerson conscious previously studied biology and as a trans artist in performance is captured through photographs. emerson transforms into we ran so darma. emerson paints and decorates their body with organic materials becoming a hybrid natural, being the artist designs and creates the costumes, using plans from the garden or local surroundings. because this was from the very cheap ami camera, but it's a water plant loss. don't kick when i touch it,
11:51 pm
it reminds me of water and brand of animals general or kill one, a king, a tribe, a costume out here on the model for macbeth. so or also i can kind of see myself from the outside on the and so maybe these emerson was born in the village of missouri does campus in the amazon region of para and grew up seeing the diversity of nature later researching it scientifically. emerson connects all these experiences through art, academic with spiritual knowledge, environmental activism, with questions about gender. boy era is in a constant state of reinvention. oh liter, i mean as many faces, every photo, every face tells a story on my thought a and so, and there are countless stories to tell us the grandpa i
11:52 pm
key on here was this barbara is telling stories about the rio negro, her body, or did aid stories about right saw the in the meaning of mystery. my job is di, diversity. i see chris say good ed, and about the human urge to explore and discover everything which can lead to exploitation. and in the end destruction as we at up, emerson can return to their roots directing the western european explorers gays to the view of indigenous peoples as a trans person with both european and indigenous roots. emerson mediate between different worlds. though note that i work condemns these violations of life crystal into us as viola
11:53 pm
. so it's not just the destruction of the environment that could either so of the and also human social violations as well as i. so the eyes mon, i create a direct harold between these worlds with all this back, the rain forest, metropolis of mouse. emerson's portions was 5 years old when their family moved to the city. they enjoyed the advantages of urban life, but always sought contact with nature and indigenous ancestors. ale, so on this is another i belong to the indigenous peoples whose history god has been erased out of the proper form and who live in or near the city dodge or compared to displaced from their culture on this in community through the von booth. it's important that the world learn in brazil itself, remembers that there are many different contexts in what it means to be an indigenous person. because that in the 21st century bipolar flooring but of the
11:54 pm
emerson was lucky to find a teacher who shared in their enthusiasm for nature and motivated emerson to study biology today. emerson is paying it forward by encouraging young people imparting knowledge through workshops and working for cultural institutions. and angie owes to save the amazon rain forest e poor. so i got thrown 4 years ago i finished my biology studies boss unable, which blows this baby. but i didn't become a biologist solely through academia, danika, ski and observing living beings as object toys as v was co morbid jack, those for emerson. art is an attempt to portray how everything is interconnected, as we had also domains and were so brings together academic knowledge, ancient spirituality, and experience as a non binary transgender person. the state of being in between as well as the unity
11:55 pm
of these existences good on to bonnie of the spiritual political good, socialized, bully, ecological rise. them being in climate crisis. is it we are experiencing today or have arisen? because we listen solely to our own needs. nice humans, woman's leader wants us to reflect on the whole list of the world merging with the environment like here in the forest, where the centuries old tree art as a kind of ceremony, but aims to bring us back to nature and a wake up call. me to see this. there are many forms of life in our world camera since it o v. that life which deserves to be heard. but experiment a soviet wish. if we want to preserve life, the wound family must reserve all living things nay,
