less is more. can we save our planet by pulling the brakes on the economic grace? the junkie she's on the rise worldwide, according to the un, the number of people consuming narcotics has risen by a quartet over the past decade to around 300000000 chemical drugs. in particular, i have seen a shot prize in appeal among the mess spectrum in a crystal met the it started with 5 hands and then he wanted more more crystal methamphetamine, a dangerously addictive drug. the facade

you're talking about, it makes me disgusted with myself. it's a completely different world to yours, entire should be this man who will cool saw me, used to be a party, got him backed out. now he owns a living by setting crystal meth might be a crime scene that i'm coming to if i have 50 grands on only south 30 here and keep the restroom myself. so do you have a shot? i roll it up like this. the ball are the so that on the street alone, but it looked like twice the actual amount was in my arms and the complaints don't bother me. many a hold of this signal duty and they need their hit me. and once they had it, i knew they forget everything is clear on tallies growing and this poverty stricken area of baghdad is west. some of them lives for security reasons. we have to film from inside the car. the future for young people here was a bleak one, war and conflict followed by economic collapse and installation. the many, the only escape is drugs. experts estimate of 40 percent of the population tatum

with crystal matches particularly widespread for the as to how do you of the drugs that more dangerous than the terrorist you can see and fight as well. but the drugs come out of nowhere. they're completely invisible. narcotics agents, soapy shows, is videos of right by the author ortiz. last year alone. he says there was 16800 arrests and the police seized some 3 and a half tons of narcotics. iraq has severe punishments, but any drug related offenses, including long prison sentences, even products with prisons full the best thing the interior ministry has resulted to promising exemptions. but those who agreed to treatment in a clinic adult is on the other hand, insist are on enough beds for the launch numbers involved. and someone need is the female audits the, the patient who this doctor is seeing today is 25 on the crystal meth addict.

she was introduced to the drug by a husband who was a dealer. when he was arrested 3 days ago, she decided to try rehab the next step. she says will be to leave him. why, why? yeah, i'll just do 2 or 3 days on drugs who turn aggressive and beat me. i only know really often. i wanted to leave him culturally, but being an addict of mental. i couldn't go back to my family. the other guy, lee, money by the, at the all the why not? the multitude, my family wouldn't tell me if they knew of a body. it's not allowed to happen to a woman in our culture, it's already tough if you're a man. but for women, they cut my head off. actually kill you. no, yes, won't kill me. the treatment will take 14

a once that's over as your plans to get a new start to life. we're on our way out to the rocky capital in the direction of iran, the source of the crystal mac, the post city of basra and the surrounding region. all controlled by conservative, she and malicious, were told as more crystal changing hands here than anywhere else in the country and more addicts. one reason for the dramatic increase in activity is the official by on alcohol, introduced in the spring, says narcotics agent alisha. he recently joined the use task force to show things to this or can the, the spread of drugs on this scale is also because of a band alcohol which are what the whole year in because the kids had really easy access to like the like the crystal mesh cuts through class divisions. show you introduce this too much stuff. i've spent an

addict since he left high school. he comes from a respected family and his mode with children himself, which is why he wants to remain anonymous. while it's also that i kept on taking it the mid a lot of people doing the same, even government officials, it seemed to me like a choice between death and jail. with stuff of found on the shy via social media, he helped him to break the addiction. something that only a small percentage of chief the agent takes, is along a visit to the local jail. it's terribly of a crowd, primarily with alex and the dealers. we say shocking, lee crum conditions which were not allowed to fail. hussein went to college. he's been here for 2 years now. she having a cell with hundreds of other inmate's audiences. he's innocent. i struggle tech. so young a, germany, i've had this, i was a cab driver of the month and the customer asked me to drive in to meet a friend who gave him some drugs. and when we set off again,

we were arrested was up no model had the same was promised the equivalent of $200.00 for the ride. instead, he was given 5 years and one month in jail, dealing drugs according to the inmates, 230 of them share myself, but as 2 toilets and one shower. i was told i was caught with 6 kilos of crystal a through that it wasn't my job. it belonged to a friend. i was just holding onto it and. and the punishment for the 52 year old father, life imprisonment, fucked. a drug dealer saw me. why did he always feel so safe? wasn't he afraid of getting caught? don't take the government is completely broken in. and that's where most of the drug dealers come to the high ranking officers. and if they tell you to carry on

and keep dealing with, you know, you're ok the we're unable to verify his claims. but what we can say, i'm a deal of doctors and addicts agree, is that the country has a new devastating bottle on his hands. the depends bus right, continues to full knows to you, the population shrink substantially. pike, 800000. after the testing of a 125000000 people, that's the biggest drop ever recorded in the country. on top of that, japan has an aging population. so what's the own face, the best rates, and we headed to a courtesy to find out more the

it might not be music to everyone's ends, but they shone a house and live in a place to another day of happy may him in this multi street office building the far as he is in akashi, decided to keep one flow for themselves and then gave free reign to the younger generation. deanna and khaki thought tiny, a big funds of this centrally located family facility. they moved west to the mall, display 550 from tokyo and have since have 2 children. so they don't miss the capital. cannot see so no, it's really easy to get talking to people and swap information. vocal akashi is a place that makes you feel totally at home. the whole country light is giving

a call. she made a concerted effort to attract more families. the architect of those kinds was for my masters ah, who is the man to play and he likes a bit of time for marie himself. what was originally planned as office space is now also a big place them for state juniors because we turned into a no fuss environment, the families to spend time to go. she asked as a nursing room and stroller parking coast. so good because she is now a city for children with this being the most visible example in a much thing, you know, the entire city has changed much of the inside of costs because of a cornerstone of the new policy is day. nursery school in kindergarten or free officer, the 2nd child plus the city covers all health care costs for the youngsters. and there's no shortage of them in kashi. will go to the thought to go see compared to tokyo and other cities in japan. children here have

a lot small time. i end up with unity for playing with kids to the same age and they really love it. and that's 3 year old leone is in his element, and to ensure that he and his little pals are in safe hands. the city provides a sufficient number of qualified karen's in japan, like in many other places. it's not the best paid profession, but here they given assistance with finding an apartment and in advance for the rent and stuff you commit to staying in the city for a long to pay more for parents, that's the added bonus, the diapers, and delivered free to that do the cause she's both rates is rising again, but in general, japan faces a growing crisis. there are a few of babies. and in the meantime, few

a young women too, were such as on show that things can be turned around. one major reason for the dramatic population decline is the cost of child care, which is why the cultural thursdays decided to take action. it was there any head that starting a family became financially viable for the southern needs? that dream they say, would not have been an option in tokyo. judy on a sunday and her husband both working parents, the 2 in, comes together with the low cost of living are win combination. is they can afford to rent an entire house full of things, attractive conditions play to pods in this dosing. a family, having kids with it being practically, i'm think people in the big city what everything costs a lot of money. because she's family friendly policies are a game changer for many young couples. kind of go to perhaps will even have a 3rd child. it's possible here where else?

so under less emotional pressure to think about it. because she is now home to children who might not have been born in other parts of the country. the initiator of the program. she's all who is a me, enjoys many celebrity status, not just because of his family policies. cuz i'm going to say as a result of our actions, families are spending more money locally. that means a boost for the regional economy and the revival of shopping streamline. so the, so there's an increase in the tax revenues to a little investing in children has helped to improve the economy here. yep. okay. local parents and residents in general, appreciate a cost useful with thinking vision. well elsewhere in japan, children are becoming rarer, couldn't you know much? i think it's a whole country, but to move in the same direction as our city. it would benefit greatly, you know, looking at about the growing number of cities

all following up how she's lead. they might not have such an lively mass, but that is a bearing desire to see japan assume a more family friendly to the this week on global teen comes from south africa. the, my name is c a and i live in. so it's a township in johannesburg. and so it's always mostly known for a lot of the people there's

a whole lot of stuff that i would love to do. i would actually love to join the agency and be part of the african. there's no contest. i'd also like to open that very quickly with the left to go to paris because it's the seats of love. i'm of the room into person, and then hopefully to move uh, maybe one day proposal my future life on the apple tower in paris. the a lot of things make me happy, seeing my family happy makes me happy. seeing my niece and my nephew a week and i'm going to school in the morning and then bring us to visit other children, makes me happy. level of my for me,

just seeing as to give them some good people, you know, personally people, you don't get time suspended to a family. end of the say, you don't realize what you're happened to and it's gone. so i'm giving them the flowers. are they still here? the, the biggest settings is our face every day. we probably have to be waking up in the morning getting ready and getting to the scope and time though to be the biggest headers with piece of it. they get into the plus the one time because most of the time imagine you choosing the past, the, so my passion is fish and i'm a design. i make codes, you know, with that being said, i'm a design, i'm at me close with no sewing machine, but it only these 2 hands, these 2 hands in a needle. the

kind of change is a big problem. so difficult a big problem. and when and when it does happen, it actually is who is the lives of millions and millions of people because millions and millions of people, okay to lose their homes, meetings and meet new people, get their homes flooded with the information in their homes, such as their identification and passports, and just if it's, if it's a tragedy in the head, some many people out on the road. the booming economy is typically seen as a good thing. rose creates jobs, raises the standard of living and boost consumption. despite coming crises, the global economy continues to expand this use as the c d slice re percent next

year by almost the same again. but consumerism is destroying the planet. so is it time to give it a lot? having more has given us a lot of comfort and a lot of choice. so it's a pretty big price tag, like more carbon emissions, more resource depletion, more pollution, our addiction to making and consuming more stuff is exhausting the planet. everyone's talking about avoiding a climate catastrophe. but it's switching to renewable energy and buying electric cars while keeping the status quote. really going to help a growing number of people say no, they want us to fundamentally change the way we run our economies. and with that, our lives, some call it the growth for decades, countries have been judged by the growth of their g, d p. that's gross domestic product. the more goods and services produced,

the higher the g, d p, the cooler the country to keep having to the be great accumulating you also need to keep having more material stuff extracting and going through the economy. this is not sustainable on on ups. on it was, you know, a finite amount of resources. so this is where the idea of the growth comes in. the term, the growth is credited onto the gourds, an austrian french social philosopher, who in 1972 question whether it was a good idea to constantly make more stuff. shortly after academics at the massachusetts institute of technology, publish a report called the limits of growth. this rigorous forecasts concluded that unless growth was curved, civilization would collapse by 2070 to suffice to say, it didn't go down. well, the academic journal nature even called it a width of doomsday. d growth talks starting to crop up again in the 2 thousands. once data began to show just how it reversed sibley, we were harming the planet. a recent paper in nature. yes,

the one who put the gross back in the seventy's suggested that it should be widely and thoroughly considered. and the term has now made its way into the most recent, i pcc report on how to stay below 1.5 degrees celsius warranty growth approach that has been widely considered is the coupling where you get to maintain economic growth while reducing carbon emissions. while i live in the u. k, it's very proud of itself because it claims that it's managed to successfully de compromise its economy while g d p. i mean, it's not doing well, but g d p is, is growing slowly while our mission is appeared to be going down. surprisingly, especially countries with advanced economies have been able to do it. for example, by shifting towards renewable energy sources like denmark, which reduced its consumption based emissions by 35 percent between $22019.00. well growing the g d p per capita by 16 percent. germany reduced it's carbon emissions per capita by 24 percent in the same timeframe while growing 26 percent. and even

the united states did the same. which sounds great and definitely as a 1st step. but the problem is that the coupling is only concerned about c o 2. we live in many ecological crises, not just one. it's not just an issue of fossil fuel emissions. so if we just say was about the call, the nice ation only. your missing ecological would be great ation. biodiversity last the u. k. has some of the worst by the rest of any country in the world. never mind the he just doesn't solve that problem. what next? the problem is. even those who support with the growth stands for thinks the word itself is problem. attic. why don't like the term? the road? is it? it has a negative feel to at the key thing is shrinking material, the material inputs into economic activity. the growth sound scary, like it wants people to return to the dark ages. but it actually us means scaling

down the least sustainable industries, like mass produced meat and dairy fast fashion car and aviation manufacturing, or ensuring that the things we rely on refrigerators, phones, washing machines, have a longer shelf life repairing. instead of replacing something the moment it stops working. so it's not just about stopping growth, but about increasing growth and sectors that benefit society as a whole. like creating green jobs, training workers, uninstalling, renewable energy, insulating buildings, and regenerating eco systems, and investing and public transportation and services. what does that just wishful thinking? might this new approach to growth actually make life worse for us? this is a crux of the growth debate. would unravel the advances humans have made many facets of modern life, like living longer and lower rates of child mortality are associated with high g d, p. among other factors. economists that are in favor of the current system, say that more immediately the gross could mean widespread job loss,

mortgage default and business closures. that it would force us all into a permanent recession per tailing, research and innovation. the thing is we need to develop green and more efficient technologies. the problem is that active di growth hasn't happened anywhere yet. meaning that nobody knows whether is that what happened? how do you address the creation of a world where rich countries don't effectually slammed the doors by themselves and say, you know, we're gonna, we're going to diminish our growth of that. but you know, we're not gonna let you catch up to, to where we are. and that is a challenge, and a lot of the solutions are on that involved in a large scale redistribution of all 3 sources between countries that, that might be possible in a perfect world. but in the real world it's, it's very politically challenging. one suggestion by d. groceries is that on payable debts held by low and middle income countries should be cancelled so that they can focus their spending on public services. the idea is to even the playing field key things for the global south,

our technology transfer. so, you know, to leapfrog dirty technologies to get the, the, you know, sort of latest generation, a renewable technologies to global. so countries for their energy needs number to finance conference finance to make that possible and also to finance other poverty alleviation. and so for supporters say that through economic the growth, the needs of more people could actually be served. still, we seem to perceive increasing g d p as a sign that we're winning. that however you frame it, giving it up for the sake of our future on this plan, it sounds to most people like we're asking them to start losing. so is the answer to deliberately slow down economic growth. you won't find many governments willing to do that. moving away from to d p, for example, to metrics that value, you know, human impact across what pride if dimensions. you know, there's

a human development index you and provides is a good example of that. you know, there's been some experimentation with like the country baton and it's gross happiness and acts that they've talked a lot about and. and so there might be ways to redefine these metrics of success that would make it more palatable for, for politicians to embrace things that don't necessarily increase g d p, but increase the average wellbeing of people. i'm in a, in a way that, you know, is less resource intensive or destructive. another example is what former new zealand prime minister just in the art or and didn't 2019 when she announced national budget that prioritize citizen wellbeing and happiness over g. d. p, an economic growth under the budget. all news funding was required to advance government priorities like improving mental health, reducing child poverty, and addressing the inequalities faced by its indigenous population. the grocer's and vision, an economy driven by alternative principles, the wage warranty grace is the we need to imagine a different feature,

a new ecological, a new relationship between humans and non human nature in which you met humanity. because so nature considerations drive the

new generation of farm is, is slicing to protect b. they are vitally important animals on this planet. and we all need, we literally could live without seeing the gun on combing, foaming, to guarantee i will be keeping the next generation the in 15 minutes
