66 my sons, your mom is not coming back. over february 2020 russian troops invaded the ukrainian city of the computer. it was recaptured. 6 months later. the occupation was hard. how can life go on after all the terror? not everyone can endure the fear we felt every day when russia comes start to august 25th on dw, the it's really for europe to serve until monday, walking foster surgical out tackling coastal erosion villages and the leads of trying to keep an entire ocean a day resisting the

flames, new construction methods aimed to prevent further damage and take terms, townships and combating. deforestation can brazil, stokes, that destruction if it's reinforced the what if i told you, is a country responsible for this was once great at fighting deforestation in recent years. one man has become synonymous with destruction and the brazilian amazon former president charitable sonata, his large policies allowed scots of rain for us to be raised to the ground during the last 4 years. amazon was a place to go to, but it wasn't always dispatch. in fact,

it's because it was once good at protecting it's for it's the country previously reduced deforestation in the amazon by 80 percent over the course of 8 years. this downward trend started in the early 2, thousands under president leaves the now to let us do the most just on is lula. and now both of mattel is out and louis back. the brazil has changed dramatically in the last decades. so will the country be able to combat deforestation again? here's the thing we're presenting politicians decide to do with fair part of the amazon concerns us all, even as both a model says, the amazon is ours, not yours. of course, the most affected are the millions of people living there and the hundreds of thousands of plant and animal species. but the amazon also plays a vital role in absorbing enormous amounts of seo to that keeps the gas from heating the address here and making seems like ease, more and more common around the world is uh, the 1st 4 clean may change,

but should they flush ginoma's zone we are destroying our buffer, that she's a silly regime degree may change. they stream events. this is lucille, my god. she's a senior researcher with the results national institute for space research. she found out the amazon has been destroyed to such an extent that it's now emitting more carbon than it takes. and that's partly because the fire is used to clear the forest relief tons of it. please window is stopping immediately. this process we will lose at this fire trophy on muscle florida should become the shipping point. okay, that sounds depressing. i promise we're getting to the solutions. but 1st we need to understand what has allowed us to the 4th 17 percent of the presenting amazon. here's a clue, it's a money maker, and this goes all the way back to the 19 seventy's. at that point, the reinforced was largely untouched. but the military regime that was in power,

pursuit and agendas, nationalism and economic development, it decided exporting its biggest forest was the way to boost preserves economy in the military. in brazil, the port seeing the region as a region to be cold courage level is the president of the institute. we got a filtering specialist and climate and security issues and involvement was paying for people to go to the amazon and amazingly, say, whatever you can do, forrest will be yours. the reason that those to convince people to settle in a forest is considered to be uninhabited. of course, there were indigenous communities there. it built a mass of highway to make it easier to navigate across the amazon and incentivized brazilians to move their to lock for timber and raise cattle. over the coming decades these businesses proved to be very lucrative, especially because more, more people were eating meat around the world and farmers needed lots of protein

rich story to feed their livestock. so the rain forest had to continue making space for cattle pastures. and so she rose and his last became stricter. land clearing also happened to legally, but then in 2003 came a turning point lula took office as president at a time when deforestation was sore, and she appointed administer lady masula, who really put the reinforced on the agenda with a men success from 2004 to 2012 deforestation and the amazon it went down by 80 percent. there are 3 major components that made this happen. first, a mass of expansion of protected areas. the administration out of millions of hector is to be preserved by 2010 more than 40 percent of the amazon was officially under protection. these areas include conservation units and indigenous territories . designating new indigenous territories was especially important because they've been shown to preserve the forest. very successful, additional community haven't been managing just so it's

a very simple sentence. this is a video and a homeless. she coordinates the n g o institute to see i'm being taught, which focuses on environmental and indigenous rights. so the way the sales people in other traditional implemented deals with the floors as well. maybe it's the forest, more sense for us. in general, all the new protections work that's a huge deterrent because once you have a protective area stations, that's why we'll make money with that black. ringback will as but that doesn't mean people could the forest all they wanted in unprotected areas. here land owners could only farm on 20 percent of their territories. and to ensure this, the government ramped up its monitoring. it improve that satellite system to detect deforestation in real time and to give better training to environmental authorities and law enforcement to crack down on illegal activities. the final step was to tackle the supply chains. this only became a talking point to, to pressure from civil society cream cheese had published studies linking

deforestation in the amazon to so in the spot by major food companies, the public outcry paid off. it resulted in the swim or a tory and the beef moratorium. voluntary agreements between big food producers to stop buying these goods from new lead forested areas destroy moratorium was especially successful. it's estimated to have saved 18000 square kilometers for us over a decade. you might wonder how does this affect the economy in the amazon? well, it's still kept growing. agricultural production actually went up as deforestation decrease. that's because farmers were not using the rolanda efficiently before and pastors offer remained empty. soon they were forced to plant crops and some of these under use pastures and stock more cattle on them. if this all sounds too good to be true, it's because it was around 2013 deforestation rates started climbing again during a time of political turmoil, to get rid of allies of the every business had pushed to weaken the laws,

protecting forest and big infrastructure projects were creeping into the amazon to like this hydro electric time approved by none other than lulu is that it was necessary for preserves energy supplies. but it was in 2019 that things really started looking back for the rain forest. charitable. so when i took office and his far right platform included lots of anti environment rhetoric, so the, those environmental p b, if i can, i will, can find them the amazon one day since they liked the environment. so much. remember the paradigm from the 19 seventy's that the 4th thing was key to boosting the economy. it came back, also not publicly pushed for more mining and indigenous territories. and his administration region, the environmental enforcement agencies shrinking their budgets and pushing up stuff . this created excitement of impunity that's really open to space for the cultural evasion of the criminal activities that were already there. but then that were coupled with much more organized criminal networks,

much more resources from all of the really fits economies. the illegal destruction of the amazon increasingly became part of sophisticated networks, traffic in drugs, guns and laundering money. as a result, deforestation rates sort over the next 4 years. it's really searching europe and serve until money change. well king size to to ge equipment. but both sonata was not re elected to be done with a razor thin margin in 2022. and one of the 1st things you did was go to the you and kind of talks and announce google it up to you. brazil is back to meet at least 10 more law enforcement into the fuel to stop loggers on land grabbers. in january 2023 deforestation was already down 61 percent on the same month the year before. but that doesn't mean that it will be an easy task presented has changed a lot so. so the 1st of office 20 years ago used to be shutting down. no dot.

this is eduardo viola from the university of softball. he's referring to a set of new challenges like rebuilding all the institutions. both are not as the administrator and dismantled the description of, of the people that are taking offices that they found. what this i'm think of a lot of in terms of the lack of information of, of, you know, the, the history of what happened the, the level of public servants that asked to, to leave. the good news is that louis former environment administer has agreed to come back, but now her ministry will face a reinforce, eroded beyond recognition, filled with sprawling criminal networks and illegal lining strips for their planes . another hurdle will be to counter the powerful agri business lobby for the presidency. she doesn't necessarily have congress on that side peaceful. she's both in fame. what if i read an activities in the amazon are much more strong or lead the guy at the low cost of living on the state. the labor is done the way of doing the sort of pre of seen in the past that they're capable of getting last weekend.

and the industry will continue having this political influence as long as the prophets of the rock at high demand for brazilian agriculture. their words are teaching amazon as a beef, as a sigh of being, as a people pleaser, stopping by the help is these challenges are real and there are significant list administration also faces a set of opportunities, the opportunity to improve land productivity and former efficiently to blue screen economies that use the regents resources without depleting them or cutting down trees. that includes commercializing were products native to the forest, an eco tourism a brazil can also share its knowledge and successes with other force giants like indonesia or the democratic republic of congo. so i hope we go back to the world seen not only as a green fowler, but as a generous lot that will bring others along. this step is crucial because we may

not be able to put a price tag on saving or rain forest. but we will pay the price if we don't. the global sea level is rising inexorably in the 20th century, it rose by a total of around 15 centimeters. since then, the rate is almost tripled. due to melting powder, ice sheets, the expansion to form a civil to so many coastal dwellers. the question is becoming ever more urgent. what to do when the tech comes into the home for us is where we have been by and we have gone up as no police like this for us as a community, we are not ready to move longer by that as being

a 1st thing for me. and i started on that for summit and that was a thoughtful time. the smoke river is in a very dangerous place right now. i mean, it's on the point where people are moving away because of this erosion the you were leaving on their way the way it was 30 so that they homeless. so my name is mary and myself. i'm a resident of they come in at the montgomery of as we started seeing, the issue is with the rows on, on the cost side. what hurts me the most about this whole situation. even after we lost sight of uh, you know,

pieces of property is we lost the football field. uh was the last 4 of my drum and my grandfather. no. last or did the seats? no exams are done. that really hurts. we have been doing our best as i am and keep what we have. i don't want to see any mammograms good can see as a lot of my, if i'm in is still there. my sister, aunts and uncles, cousins, good friends. phil dear, i'm currently sitting by the the my mom is, well, she's the reason i decided to become a teacher the, well, everybody around here, you know, where really come your members. so it's really personal from that is why i choose,

well, i decided to get on the water shit and see what i can do to the bunker about what i said associated with me. and if i'm to address what we're seeing with the erosion on the course thing and as a community, what we started seeing was changes on the river. the we didn't seem to kinda sign that used to come out before to replenish what is lost, not totally the . we have no beat snow, but it was it was really nice having a beats. yeah, you can walk around and so a view of the sunrise thing the

the, my god is the site and see what they can do to improve the bit of money and then what we have because it's easier, the money is what you have sent to restore like you lost, so i had to get involved with the washing association in 2017, we were able to get them into our 1st product, the pilot closed immunization on cost. i'm using the, the one to ship data g o. 2 project for the calls from youtube in front of the village. basically that was like, uh, stabilisation metals to us they split some of the villagers were at risk of losing their home. the g of small grants program provides

financial and technical resources to civil society organizations to implement community driven action for little bugs in the i was able to nurture birger relationships with the residents of mother, including understanding their life, their concerns with their religion. the loss of homes, the loss of their lives is the loss of fight adversity. the degradation of watership in general is an alarming rates being degraded for me that is extremely concerning. what i see with the early times i would hope that they can stabilize it. you know, put something on no rock sun to stabilize the they, the beach front is stabilized. then they, they can do other projects to help them. of the waves on the sun

was coming inside the downstairs and run through all the way to the box. so what happened, the guys took some rocks that government gave us on board there is on smaller ones and they put them justin, we bought on boat and throw them in front to help them build back a little bit at a sun. so we know that the molars would work. the bunker village is one of those costs documented this that we plan the cost of fishing community located in the eastern part of the lease. the small pre owned amenities living in harmony with nature river is not responsible for the clement crisis. yet, the are the ones that are suffering to create this loss damage. what we need is climate just. i want to get back on them on

the policy is a, this is a beautiful place the next saturday. so it is, it exist if we can address what we're seeing, monthly about can be here for another 100 years. the as a dry, a, have a room. kevin, more fires often it's the very poorest to suffer the most light residents of informal settlements. the township of most of whom in a near cape town, has 30000 residents spread across nearly 40 hector. and those who quarterly, with sourcing through the wreckage of her home 2 weeks ago assigned to destroyed 178 shacks here homes made of corrugated metal on

a wooden frame. so. so i ran out with the things about the only thing i have left in my pajamas was them. my neighbors died in the fine one of his friends film. the inside of fires like these are happening more frequently. as the population grows, people are living closer together and heat waves are also more common because of climate change. thousands of homes also have been down recently in cape towns biggest township, kylie to and not for the 1st time. architects gloria perdita and hit team from the n t o e k. allow me a rebuilding the houses in the new ones are affordable and more durable. something we're here to implement. i'll think of doing instruction which is why we thought safe and slow slug. we were being tied up by a, by this one. so the latest fire without a trace the seat missile they using

a sick. so fi icon sprayed as easily from home to home. it kalani is funded through donations. it's already billed 3500 of these new models. in the closer language economy means my home. the n g o wants to help people live in safety and dignity. citrus mays, old corrugated iron hunt was replaced a year ago. of the legacy hosting. yeah, everything is okay. and as you go to the place on the yes, i wish i was on the oh i conway that is. yeah, for one year to please have one check who is you know, directing much or more like cutting down with the re come oh and i have

a head diction. all that rain gone through that project time, but now you get up in a beautiful place. i guess i tell them that things are going. cedric may works as a catty on a golf course. his employer agreed to help finance the construction cost of around $1000.00 euros together with a car allow me. this kind of co financing is the basis of economy's funding model. mostly we pre finance as much as we can of the boat and the employee employees meet his health way. and sometimes employees also part taken that thing that perhaps the employer can pay upfront and then the employees pay back the employer. um, the rates that's suitable to their relationship and their financial reality. the golf course pays back the interest free loan within a year economies housing initiative as part of the project bias, collaboration. it helps employees provide day work is with the best a home for the equivalent of about 70 years. among these huge demand in formal

settlements will dominate africa's cities in the near future. the already home to one in 5 k town residents. jo bellnick is an oven development advisor. he says fine resistance homes can quickly improve living conditions and townships in times of climate change. some of the hot to the winds or, or significantly more for the rushes or is catching always, it has the readings, but now they say more sustained and more predictable and often much more volatile. and even the in migration of people are moving from the room, enters into the cities, is pushed by the fact that sustainability and survive. ability in the room is, is being profoundly impacted by the changes in class economy isn't only making homes fire resistant together with the oven sink time from e t h. 's eric, the n g o has replaced an entire informal settlement with 2 story homes. for the

impalas shock pilot project has already built more than 70 units. the last ones will be handed over to the new owners today. k towns deputy maya has arrived. the city council once to officially on the new homes and the oven is it's it's, it's an important stuff. it makes that heavy duty does it take me friday to your assets, to go and tell them to we have a population. so i think it's just about 4800000 people that they did suggest use a partial compose to 6000000 people. at the end of this decade, we need to plan different types of products every need to secure partnerships, to respond to those in. i mean, it's a good place to start in an emergency. this street provides access for fire trucks

and ambulances, where corrugated iron hunts one stood cramped together. they are now children playing the project also plans to provide. so the power for the neighborhood. at 3 megawatts of solar energy production in the kweisi park alone. and see the potential for i think it's about 2 gigawatts of renewable energy production in kylie cha. initiatives like empower shack and economic us do to skids and so of africa where the desperately needed people like those who color leeway, con flight for yes, for a safe place to live. nice. the next thing get, i'm devastated. that was my 1st fly out and i haven't been sleeping well since my neighbors say that's a big fun every summer is become normal here. was that at times in the last 3 years, 5 years in k townsend foremost settlements have nearly doubled to 5000
