driving the world wide expansion of wind farms and solar parks to the international energy agency, i. e. a expects that by 2027 global renewable power capacity will rise worldwide by 2400 gigawatts. that's roughly how much power china generated in total in 2022 in particular china and the u. s. want to invest heavily in wind and solar energy, partly for climate protection reasons. in the u. s. a recently passed law earmarked almost $370000000000.00 for climate and energy security measures. the e u and other countries are also came to invest in renewable energy. so says the i e. a forecasts that by 2025 renewables would have become the largest source of global electricity generation ahead of coal. but there's some way to go. there is still more than 2400 coal fired power plants in operation worldwide with new ones

being built. that's a huge burden both for the climate and those living nearby. south africa's economy is powered by coal, but critic site this comes out of massive cost decides is dead. air pollution, the killer and a full government needs to have been limited at their gently. my hat is bleeding for the people who are living in this area, and they are getting poor every day. 80 percent of the country's 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. ever dcsf phyla, you core suffering every day we can't breathe. would you even ask yourself whether you're going to wake up alive? he la la. la giovanni. puzzle you lie awake the whole night without sleeping whole

night because you can't breathe because awful. couldn't people move? to medical when black doctor and love was practice in him. aline is writing the called. it was a chicken. do do zealot. and what nancy is breathing heavily while she's been having problems for years, the condition has worsened and she's concerned is lot of blasting. does lot of mine surround the age, polluted or taste polluted? so obviously you gonna have lots of recipe that toyota is quite often. we get bronchitis, we do get chronic sinusitis. we do get asthma because of the environment as well. 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 can 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. environmental justice group if celebrating avery history photo

in judgment, in the quote unquote death case. the honeymoon in 2022, the constitutional court ordered the government to enforce rules for polluters to meet the 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 mass, the what the rivers that we used to rely on. and it's a mess we, we studied by a reason on his end,

he hearing from communities opinions on how do they want to see the future without cold vio, county is based on the outskirts of him. aline. the angio 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 environment, according to vio county. well, that's the vision that my beula propagates with the communities you hadn't persevere. lemme change it for us. we are speaking of community 3 that who won an image 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, rooftops, we have our own station in the, in but can solar really replace power plants and how can communities finance their

own green power? 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 costs of renewables cannot be compared to coals irreplaceable human loss. a 2017 study commissioned by groundwork was an eye opener that his eyes indicated that about 2000 plus been putting people at dying and wiley because of evolution. a more than 10000 people are hospitalized because often, but i thought he problems. i think um we part of all consistent price in a perfect balance between a development and, and that i to health. so it's not an either or situation. we can develop the economy at the same time to think of people's health for quite mercy. 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 neighborhood up to 3 times a day. a bitter irony that those suffering from the pollution of the ones being cut from power. from guanasha and a daughter of gotten used to the dark, but there's always an uneasy feeling. good. the gay in law will, shall, shall, until i'm always afraid when my daughter was took it she made. when the attack comes, you have to run to the clinic and the technique couldn't allow what particular the other day she was. so if we had to go to the hospital, what go so would see everything i had to pray to god to help her on getting tenders in. we'll talk when local m. c. i was with her a ph. 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. ah, $92060.00, more than 70 percent of the world's population will likely live in cities or urban areas. that will also be around 10000000000 people living on us. that's 2000000000 mold and to day to accommodate this. many people, millions of houses and apartments will have to be belts. and of course, demand for energy and other supplies will also increase. according to o, e, c, d, estimates by 2016 global material consumption will reach around a 167 giga tons. so about twice the current amount. that's the equivalent of more than $27800.00 pyramids of keesa sand. gravel and limestone are in particularly high demand with dramatic consequences.

the descent into the cave, into the darkness. for our touch, it's also an expedition into another world. and every time it's an adventure to an adventure that leads back into the far distant past, iowa, iowa. ah mother title to the people who lived. he had 10000 years ago who i thought for you. so mom we discovered this cave via the internet when we called the guar audio water cave on it. we were curious who we've explored the cave and we think it's really beautiful kyle with like. unfortunately, it's right by one of the quarries nearby limestone and marble of being excavated on an industrial scale. the mining has been going on for years now. a total of $64.00 companies of busy blasting away the limestone hills across the quinta. valley name is important for

cement and cement is a highly sought after building material. in asia and world wide. construction is a multi 1000000000 euro business. nature pays the price. our touch has decided to make it his job to preserve his home, the kin, to valley for as long as possible. his activists group is called kinda valley watch . together they explore the caves within the mountains and hills, which are disappearing at an ever faster rate. ah tad's home, the kin to valley is located on the malay peninsula and the state of parrot. 10 deposits were found here long ago. but limestone, granite and marble can be excavated much more easily. although i want to understand what's happening here. i want to find out what's special about these hills in recent years, we've neglected them and all they contain who would have known that's why our touch

is now exploring the caves under the hills. to day he's showing an archaeologist, an important discovery. there are also pre historic paintings on the limestone hills of the been, you've been on the some images are more than 10000 years old, have been there unrivalled in malaysia in terms of the nuanced picture they paint of everyday life. have acquiring occurs at a site that we have never investigated before. there is a possibility that a raw are site was there and then destroyed because from what we observe so far, not are, is distribute that very widely. reading can tell value tools i work such a high as a researcher at u. s. m. in penang. she knows that hunters and gatherers settled early here later switching to farming. and it's trading linked to china. go back to the 2nd century, a d as k fines show. all these on your survey, we discovered more than 30 rock sites. so this is

a very big leap in the archaeological research for her home malaysia. in the past for like 660 years where we were just though, so lead based on academics than researchers. only 3 sites were found in kinda valley sold because of their involvement. we got more than 30 sites now and then we have a lot more to discover that the mining companies pay little attention to the archaeological discoveries. there are 59 official excavation sites here, and everyone blasting here has a state license to do so. hills and caves where cave paintings and fossils were found are being destroyed. but none of the companies nor the economics ministry are willing to be interviewed on the issue. at the ministry of tourism, arts and culture, they draw our attention to the legal position. the deputy director is well acquainted with the regulations and is well aware that the company's profits are

more important to the government about that, but that we cannot stop the project approved by the state. it won't and middle said, but when the areas aren't expressly declared protected areas, the law dictates that we cannot stop. the mining blending upward joke was off. does it that we have no legal recourse or we can do is to approach the mining companies and ask for talks with a what but owning but these consultations are unlikely to stop the blasting in the can to valley are tapped, is taking the archeologist into one of the valleys biggest caves over that it goes as anger the home in the he recently discovered a lot of cave paintings here, though he's not sure how old they are, that good in the song in the us in the caves is an invaluable piece of human history or little come with the whole, there's another rock are, is not that only pretty story or are there are value there has value because even

historical kiera art is actually an evidence of the human past human interaction with the landscape. so there's a multi layer, meaning embedded within the se, escape from pre historical period to historical period. so all this, i think are significant to me, at least because it shows how human evolved through time, back up on a lot about our touch helps the archaeologist document the engravings and paintings afterwards. so true, hey, will compare the images with others. the 2 of them are worried that this cave to will disappear one day. they want to document as much as possible of the valleys, cultural heritage. before that happens, i don't think i heard, you know, you would, you know, we knew from the outset that we couldn't win, but we're doing it anyway. and i'm not alone. i have a lot of support. i'm happy linkers. this work is an honor because this is where

i'm from, told a young data guy up with they all still many caves to explore in can to valley. for our touch. it's a race against time. feel of these invaluable fines are likely to be saved from destruction. ah, sea turtles can be found in tropical and sub tropical seas around the world. as my greater we creech, as they often swim thousands of kilometers in their lifetime. many species are endangered by marine pollution fishing and poaching. according to one study between 19902020 more than one point. 1000000 animals were killed or illegally traded worldwide. but things are looking up turtle protection efforts around the rise efforts like those. the people have talked to gatto on the costa rican coast have been doing for years. this is probably the most

dangerous moment in the life of a sea turtle. after 60 days, the hatchlings dig themselves out of the sand and make their way to the water. this one hatched on the beach of costa rica store to wear on national park. it's one of the animals most important nesting sites on the caribbean coastline of central america. ploy taylor lives in tor to guido when the turtles have the patrols the beach to protect them, things used to be very different from the lead on when well yeah. so it was an isolated place for survival, didn't revolve around money like it does today with tourism. and so we have mr. killed the turtles. we 80 eggs in the meat like we ate. the fin was

the turtles have already traveled up to 2000 kilometers by the time they arrive at the beach to lay their eggs in the portal where national park for different species of sea turtles lay their eggs on tor to wear or beach. including hawks bill and leather back turtles. gloria aguiro is a biologist with a tor to wear of sea turtle conservancy. she's concerned because climate change is making the sand warmer and the higher the temperature, the fewer males are born. this poses yet another danger to the turtle survival name. you don't get that can i think all out of a 1000 baby turtles, only one and turns back to lay eggs on the beach. allah flag! the turtles. follow the light of the moon to find their way on to the beach to lay their eggs. they only come out of the sea at night. a single female

lays up to $120.00 eggs per clutch. spinning hours, digging a hole in the sand to nest him. that can take him till morning. after laying her eggs, she covers them with sand to protect them from predators. she may lay up to 1000 eggs, protesting season, buried in various locations. in the 1st light of morning, the turtles attempt the journey back to see many don't make it granado bruno, a biologist based in tor to wearer, has found the remains of a turtle. it was killed and butchered for me. assistant doors canny then in the turtles, that nest in costa rica migrate to their feeding grounds on the caribbean coast of nicaragua, e and acosta. korea, any kind sea turtles are also illegally hunted on the coast there in the gal that

they are to as much as they kill up to $15000.00 turtles of year. a sport i knew but it's not just the animals themselves that are at risk from poaching during the night and early morning. poachers are on the prowl for clutches of eggs. scientists keep finding nests that have been looted. yes. is it people, if he doesn't allow in dallas, this is the situation we face every night. we quote, he will say to my years of only a monitor, most of the beach. there's not enough staff to prevent this kind of thing completely as you know, back wherever we're patrolling, they just read national somewhere else was when i end up now. yeah. he's like, you know, they poked the sandwich sticks to feel for resistance. that's when they know the stickers hit some eggs at the bottom of a nest. if you don't, if i little need aside from the camera. well, once they find the eggs, it took them up. it was, i kind of will. the turtle eggs are usually eaten ra there. believe to be an

aphrodisiac. although there's no scientific evidence. turtle, eggs and turtle meat have always been an important source of nutrition or torture. quiero explains cloyd taylor matter. let up the last, the person who used to slaughter the turtles, came at 5 am layla named de la kamani avenue uncle nap and then community members came well, bulls and pal, and asked him for cylinder. turtle may take a day under at a book. it's been forbidden to eat the turtles or their eggs for more than 20 years . 7 0, to day the islanders live mainly from tourism. even so for the past 10 years, the number of c turtles returning to torture where oh, has been in decline. biologist kayla cordero is sounding the alarm. in 2008 scientists counted 809000 turtles. nesting on the island in 2021. there were only

$44000.00 a decline of more than half wareham growth. and i say there are important hunting areas in los gatos mosquitoes in the caribbean. areas of columbia and venezuela and where between 801-2000 turtles are 100 each year on the nicaraguans side. in some areas, eating turtle meat is part of indigenous culture. hunting is still allowed, their tourists are only allowed on the beach if they're accompanied by a local guide, they all have to wear dark clothing, so they don't disturb the turtles. with it, we accompany the park rangers during their nightly inspection. the number of tourists per group is limited. there is a fine if the rules are ignored, that he has yet to put it on an order. he. 12 members of the community who are skilled trackers have been trained to look for the turtles on the beach. they inform the tourist guides where and when the females are laying their eggs so they

can bring their tourist groups there. ah. but 1st everyone has to have a ticket fill. if i thought up they get an invoice that sizes to permit and informs the taurus of the sector de schedule and a number of people in the group. i local tourism is well organized, but monitoring the area is challenging a up understand? what can i say in taught to ghetto national park? 18 people are responsible for more than 50000 hector's of marine area if they're more than 26000 hector's of land and lies 30 kilometers of beach front. it's on the 3rd month. it's just not enough, but i thought that at the panica the sea turtle protection effort still have a long way to go. but talk to where approve the turtle hunters can become turtle. conservationists to the benefit of both nature and people.

this week's global snacking comes from venezuela. ah, ah, class of in his layla is a busy meeting place in central caracas. it's a popular spot for street to bend. is nichols called this the kaya del ombang. this street of the hungry. ah. they are still selling all types of fast food. one typical venezuelan snag is the cut chapa, a pancake made from fresh corn. ah. cook on semerano says the recipe as simple as i can put into my less. okay, let me get the batter as grilled until its crispy on the outside.

then flip the fillings prepared on another hot plate. ah, customers can choose between several types of meat. ah, americans have our catch up as fillings include half a kilo of pork with 300 grams of chicken, bacon, and ham. it was never them. but the main ingredient is soft and gooey till he touches half a kilo of tease a served with each kappa. it's what keeps the customers coming back. ah, i like the mix of the sweet and salty, such as pork and the cheese. i cut up a cause it's between $8.18 us dollars, depending on the fillings. most customers can't finish a whole one. with them, i'm stuffing my face with more than i can cope with. ah, they're incredibly huge. you should have had 2 people with one because they're so

big. they're successful, business is a family affair. as the chefs, cousin alvarado, he explains, ah, with how delicate that we are developing. thanks to the ketchup house and my father's creation. we already have 3 co chapa locations and people really like it. i thought i might get a little someone venezuelans often enjoy catch up on sunday mornings, but there is nothing stopping them feasting on one any day of the week. and most customers need this street of the hungry feeling very, very full indeed. ah . and that so from us at global 3000 this week,

right to us global 3000 at d, w dot com all on facebook d w global ideas. see you next time with with joy ride through fascinating worlds, into uncharted deb, our guides know their way around a strictly scientific trip to some pretty wacky

places. curiosity is required to borrow today. next on d w. ah, i wish i could have done more to save you i just click away. find out best documentary on you to really good morning to see the world as you've never seen it before. dr. no, t d w documentary mines with getting ahead using tech. as our documentary series and is valley

africa, ah, to meet the founders empowering their continent through digital innovation, transforming work and health, and living conditions in their country and inspiring world with their ideas. founded valley africa started february, 13th, a v w. i open your eyes. is everything clear? it's so then perhaps you're still young will be taking a look at how the eyes change as we age. but thus we're digging into the construction industry a major driver of climate change. there are some solutions like the poorest concrete.
