the it was recaptured. 6 months later the occupation was hard. how can the legs 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 euro be serve until monday, cheese, welcoming foster surgical on tackling coastal erosion, villages and the leads of trying to keep an entire ocean a day. the resisting the flames. new construction methods aimed to prevent further damage and take tom's townships and combat team deforestation can

brazil stops the 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 law, but it wasn't always dispatch, in fact, 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 leads 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 with resilience. 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 these more and more common around the world is uh, the 1st 4 clean may change, but should they father's cheating amazon, we are destroying our buffer, that he'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 not admitting more carbon than it takes. and that's partly because the fires used to clear the forest relief tons of it. please window is stopping immediately. this process will lose at this fire. chop your muscle forward, it should become the shipping point. okay, that sounds to pressing 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 presented an 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 reinforce was largely untouched. but the military regime that was in power per student 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 reason to be cold courage level is the president of the institute. we got a bad, 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 as far as will be yours. the reason that this 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 switching off, and as last became stricter, learned clearing also happened to legally. but then in 2003, it came

a turning point lula took office as president at a time when deforestation was sore. and she appointed administer marina silva, who really put the reinforced on the agenda with a men success from 2004 to 2012 deforestation. and the amazon went down by 80 percent. there are 3 major components that make this happen. first, a mass of expansion of protected areas. the administration added 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. the visuals community hadn't been managing just telling somebody some percentage. this was the homeless should coordinate the n g o institute to socially i'm being taught which focuses on environmental and indigenous rights. so the way and visuals,

people and other traditional commitments deals with the floors. this was made. busy more sense for us in general, all the new protections worked as a huge deterrent because once you have a protective area, that's why we'll make money with that last. 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, it's 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. the sewing more atory 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 and the amazon? well, it's still kept growing. agricultural production actually went up as deforestation decrease. that's because farmers were not using their land efficiently before and pastors often 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 that every business had pushed to weaken the laws, protecting forest and big infrastructure projects were creeping into the amazon to select as hydro electric time approved by none other than lulu. he said it was

necessary for results, energy supplies, but it was in 2019 that things really started looking back for the rain forest. charitable so not a took office and his far right platform included lots of anti environment rhetoric . so the, those environmental people, if i can, i will, can find them the amazon one day since they liked the environment. so much. remember the paradigm from the 1970s that the 4th thing was key to boosting the economy. it came back full so not to 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 a climate 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 difficult armies. the legal 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 search europe to serve until money. well, king expense to, to equipment. the sonata was not re elected to be them 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. she immediately sends more law enforcement into the fuel to stop loggers and 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 took office 20 years ago used to be sitting down. no doubt. this is a dwanda, viola from the university of some fall. she's referring to a set of new challenges like rebuilding all the institutions both and that is the administrator and dismantled the description of, of the people that are taking offices that they found. what is on 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, 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 landing strips for their planes . another hurdle will be to cancel the powerful agribusiness lobby for the presidency. she doesn't necessarily have congress on the side peaceful issues in fame. what if i read an activities in the amazon are much more strong or lead to getting the low cost of living and the state the labor is done the way of doing the pre of seen in the past, but they're capable of getting last weekend and the industry will continue having this political influence as long as it prophets of the rock at high demand for brazilian agriculture. their words are teaching us as

a beef, as a sigh of being, as a people pleaser, stopping by the help us. these challenges are real and they are significant. but louis administration also faces a set of opportunities, the opportunity to improve land productivity and former efficiently to boost green economies that use the regions resources without depleting them or cutting down trees. that includes commercializing more products, native to the forest, and eco tourism. a brazil can also share its knowledge and successes with other forest 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 for us. 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 i sheets, the expansion to form a single. so many coastal dwellers, the question is becoming ever more urgent. what to do when the tech comes this is a home for us is where we have been by and we have gone up as no police like this for us. as i mean if it, we're not ready to move longer. if i have that as being a 1st thing, and i started to go into that for somebody. and that was a thoughtful time. the

longer is in a very dangerous place right now. i mean, it's on the point where people are moving no way because of this erosion you're leaving on their way the way it was already so that they homeless. so my name is mary, i myself, i'm a resident of a community of montgomery as we started seeing. the issue is with the rows on, on the costs. then what hurts me the most of the situation, even after we last set of, you know, these are the properties we lost, the football field was the last 4, maybe out of my ground and my grandfather know why still did the seat.

you know, i agree with that. does that really hurt? we have been doing our best to science 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 see the my mom is, well, she's the reason i decided to become a teacher the well, everybody around here know where really come your members. so it's, it's really personal about is why i choose, well, i decided to get on the water shit and see what i can do. i see the bunker about what i said association with man, if i'm to address what we're seeing with the erosion on the course thing. now the

community we started seeing was changes on a river and we didn't seem to kind of sun that used to come out before to replenish what is last night. so i mean the, we have no beats know what it was. it was really nice having a beats. yeah, you can walk around and enjoy the view of the sunrise thing. oh my god is this 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 what you lost. so i had to get involved with a lot of shit associations. in 2017, we were able to get them into our 1st product pilot closed immunization course 9. the see want to should see that g o 2 project per the calls from geo tubes in front of the village. um basically that was like, uh, stabilisation metals to us. they split some of the villagers were at risk of losing their home gifts. moments program provides financial and technical resources to civil society organizations to implement community driven action for little boys in

the was able to nurture 3rd relationships with the residents of mother. including understanding their life, their concerns with their religion, the loss of films, the loss of their lives was loss by diversity. the degradation of water shift in general is an alarming rate 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 give us on board. there's on smaller ones and they put them just and we bought on boat and throw them in front to help build back a little bit at a sun. so we know that the molars would work. the bunker village is one of those coastal communities that we'd be close to fishing community located in southern eastern part of the lease. a small prose, amenities living in harmony with nature. oak river is not responsible for the climate crisis yet. the are the ones that are suffering degrees, this loss and damage. what we need is climate. joseph. i want to get back on the mom was a, this is a beautiful place. the next saturday, so he's here for us these not that means on this without them we can't exist.

if we can address what we're seeing. monthly about can be here for another 100 years. the have 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, those who quarterly with sourcing through the wreckage of her home. 2 weeks ago assigned to destroyed 178 checks. yes, homes made of corrugated metal on a wooden frame. so. so i ran out with the thing. the only thing i have left in my pajamas was in my neighborhood zayden to find one of his friends films and

sign a 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 her team from the n g 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 taught and slow slug. we've been tied up by a by this one, so the latest fire without a trace, the seed metal they using a 2nd. so fi account spread as easily from home to home. it cut allow me is funded

through donations. it's already built 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 such as maze old corrugated iron heart was replaced a year ago. the of the legacy hosting. yeah, everything is okay. and as you go to the place on our phone. hooked up. oh i conway that issue. yeah. for one year to place a one check who and you know that thing much more like coming down with the re come oh and i have a head diction order. right. gone through that project time but now it up in the beautiful place. i guess i tell them good things to go. cedric may works as

a catty on a golf course. his employer agreed to help finance the construction cost of around $1000.00 bureaus 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 us off way. and sometimes employees also part taken that thing that i have to employ, they can pay upfront and then the employees pay back the employer 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 a work is with the best a home for the equivalent of about 70 years a month. these huge demand in formal settlements will dominate african cities in the near future. they're already home to one in 5 k town residents. jo,

bowl nick, 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 of are significantly more for the rushes or is kitchen always has had heavy readings, but now they then more sustained and more predictable, and often much more volatile. and even the in migration of people are moving from the room and the thing to the cities is pushed by the facts that sustainability. and so the seem 0 a 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 wants to officially on the new homes and the other news it's it's, it's an important what makes the makes the home that he does for you taking your assets and tell them to me about population. so i think it's just about 12800000 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 huts once stood,

crammed 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 kazi, part alone. uh, 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 sub africa where the desperately needed people like those who come to 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. it's become normal here. was that at times in the last 3 years, 5 years in k townsend foremost settlements have nearly doubled to 5000 a year in the see permanente, they're worried that if some is keep getting hotter,

this is just the beginning. the, [000:00:00;00]
