around the brush in 45 minutes on d w. well, the in progress pop calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic that concerned about this story is beyond the headline world in progress, dw, talk about the welcome to eco offer god the pan african environment to show fact with great stories. background information and good ideas on nature and environmental issues from africa. and you rope. i have chris alarms coming to you from lagos,

nigeria with me is my charming co host sandra. go who's a in uganda. hello, sandra. hi, chris, and i really looking forward to today's sure, and especially to a very fast segment on the pile of women in ivory coast. i am sandra co homes, the 3 nobody writes yet incompetent. you've gone to on here, some of the other topics that we'll be looking at on the program equal to is a changing so much lives in front of the french capital keeps. it's cool. despite the rising temperatures on from gone, the house started to conquer its mountains. of west how much do you think a group of women is capable of achieving you may be amazed at to see what communities in northern ivory coast are accomplishing through quarterly to auction

for the environment on beyond. now, we've pete's you. curiosity. here comes the women of non cuming, now a quick check to ensure they have enough provisions. then these members of a women's cooperative set off on a 15th told me to johnny bit terrain in these parts of ivory quotes can be quite rough, especially during reading seasons. but even swollen reverse can stop the women. upon arrivals, they collect nuts from sheer trees, which build time into she about to it is used in cooking and cosmetics and sold off the top on the walls market. but the women find scenes of devastation to, even though this is a protected forest from us, of cut down fees to plot fields, or strip them to sell the book. in traditional medicine, she, a buck is used to trick malaria and stomach x. but we thought about the trees via

alton di, many of these women, one slow t bucks too, but not she, and that's provide them with the more environmentally friendly pulse of income for kids. so i'll be at our level since we joined the cooperative. we've completely stopped cutting park. we used to cut a lot, i think sometimes we even heard ourselves while removing a board and without their bar patrice dying or cute. so now we do everything we can to protect the tree. yes. but the for the case is that in 2021, a sent that to process she and that's a set top in the village of water in my do a lot. so some 200 women walk here in a cooperative called non costs will mean a. well, we stick together. the co operative us truck, a purchase agreement to the gun, a best company, but the aims to empower women in this region. as it is obvious season, the women got the invite as many knots as they come later and cook them to make she

about to the corporate, the buzz being organic, certified it's processing facility costs around $60000.00 euros. most of which came from the international donors, including the e. u. last t, as in tab production has been almost completely sold. see if i'm to him, all the women in the village. i pleased, i think before we will always travelling that right to the buddha. we'd like barea to sell tree bach and we had to leave our husbands and children behind. i'm on level now. we can stay in the village without families. i meant we'd have a look and are in money on the so we're happy on f one on the popular from savannah fruits company as a regional office to handle the call practice she about to international sales and going well thanks to the she a bought as a gun except the vacation, centralizing production on one side was key to the process. as i've been sitting on

the sun, the women used to bring their shame bounce back from the bush and store them in a corner in their houses. it was usually the place where they stored chemical fertilizers for their fields or where children would play or for the women also process the notes at home or see amazing but the quality stuff or did it. there was too much contamination when they tried to do it all at home and it was simple for the company. the strong guys who came to south to side i'm using, besides the high international demand for organic she about to here in the regional center of the color. there is to a brisk tread in 3 buck and roots using traditional magazine. at least 2 big truckloads leave here each week. boned for ivory costs, financial copy told me not to what tara used to. so t bucky and was often away from her funding for the long periods of time. now that she's a member of the women's cooperative that's no longer necessary. she can also afford

to buy better food for her family and invest in fish lab. yeah. and you know, i, we come here every wednesday when it's market day. i think the color. yeah. before we never had enough money out of me, but now it's best to pass on. if i was able to buy 2 crates of fish, i think that i can re sell in the village. a lot of go on last week. i, you're not a probably not that as you're the project. we receive 10000 francs and i use them to buy vegetables. i'm a i got was the last little not know that the extra food is a welcome contribution. maybe not to overturn his last month. the lead gross human caution that's he's or the wife also walk seem to call protective on since both women know on more money that lives. respect has gone on. i've gotten given by my wife helped me by a sheet for debowski. i think the sacrifice or yes it will, and they contributed to the purchase of some capital that do what i do. my wife's of also really helped me to pay the school fees. so i recognize the value of the co

op and of the final. the women are gaining influence in other areas. they often come across fields of fumes and culture, not see legally planted by local men in the collecting zones. now the supervising n g o, as i look at them uh, the square kilometer area which is off limits to anyone, but the corporate to the frontier guy lives in the women who own the living gathering. shane us in this area won't allow their husbands or any other people to come in here. i'm trying to chrome just to say, do web posting. so i've got to me to, i'll plan is to certify the largest possible area as a bio diversity zone. nothing's only business is love that will help us to more effectively protect this land and enable its restoration to pull up and my provider . so what i will call you to the shade trees, bring us respect, and in return we protect them. now the villages, respect us and value our work,

it's walk that not only protects the forest, but also helps women and their families. proof that environmental protection can benefit everyone. staying on the topic of agriculture, we know head over to run to some they goals, make walk a lot easier. bought the engines are often nodes and pollute. we've exhaust fumes, so is don't really progress. a good cause to ascend dropped was as it stands, the only option available to many look into 3 d oxy and full tractor is a diesel powered vehicle. but now there are more environmentally friendly alternatives in africa. as this project in run that shows it's just a normal working day for members of the do core and cooperative. nikki galli, the village is still the a fields by hand. the many help is

a busy for weeks chuckled at the shock cultivating a large area like this using just toes is difficult. we do it because there's no other options. if we had a cold of ation machine quantum, we could produce more with less effort to 0. so you tract is around but also the older vehicles that we no longer wanted to do, they tend to be noisy and the diesel is also not always available. and rise in fuel costs means that the often economically on viable from the outside. the solution looks remarkably similar to a 2.2 contractor with a 27 postcard engine. but the motor is electrically pilot. a gentleman call me cuz developed this e tractor prototype along with the universe of to galley. and the g. i said german development agency. it's a convert that the tractor and to and electric truck until you see we just replace the diesel engine with an electric motor and put the battery on top of that. and

that you'll see the sloping desk. you'll see the 2nd battery on this desk. then when you come in here, you can move forward them back down then with that you can release the battery. and so look back and put the full battery on the track to itself and can then resume working. the batteries are charged using solar energy, solar electricity isn't just clean. it can also be used of great. only huffman for one day is actually connected to the print burnett my ends between and his team from need of. let's do it for one day. a working on making the batteries more robust so that the track to consume go to work on the dusty some the fields. rhonda need eat that fall under control. make any addition to be user friendly because of, for a using the, the in the police are further the 8 to maximize the productivity. agricultural

product is the one that has to increase its every cultural productivity to help feed. it's rapidly growing population long periods of drunk linked to climate change, or increasing the pressure to make finding more effective and sustainable to the fact that the track is intended for use in more remote areas is a particular challenge for the developers in the team of v w engineer who belong to the main point is to make an electric contract or as simple and easy as possible because it should be easy to operate. and the other thing is this, when it is simple, easy to maintain and to retail, to make the connect to suitable for working for london fields. the prototype has to be further improved and is uncommitted. so the team of developers traveled through

the country speaking to potential future uses wherever we want to import, how that successful the bid design and what 3 to be the task of that's the next task. and we also want to, to take into account some of the activities that tend to bid down to buy. that's correct. and plowing isn't the only job to track that should be able to tackle here . remember when to productivity of funding areas can only be increased if other funding jobs can be automated as well. the develop as a test, whether it can be harnessed to help everything the prompts. then we have testing the problem being well putting it on an electric truck stuff. so you can use it for code division using your, your plow that could be a display. then you can also hook up the planter to roll for planned types can food, then you can use it for planting and then other tasks. then we can use the

instructor as for spring, that is your crop protection for pest and disease tasks that have been counted delta mon monday. up to now many from us cannot imagine that the track to is going to be ready any time soon. but they do realize what a difference it might be sure, i don't know if there really is such a tractor and it's available to us. it will be seen as a liberator for farmers because we won't have to work so hard to get our work done . the chapter is going to be ruled out in 2024. the idea is that it will be purchased back into the village rather than an individual found that managed by cooperative. the vehicle will make a lot of task easier. so don't forget to bring with over 20000 inhabitants space quick color, which is part of these is one of the most densely populated cities in europe. dr. probably feels nice and close the in cold the wolf,

but as the temperature has climbed, as a result of climate change, the ctc did up. so how of provisions trying to keep the cool eco reporter to a tool the town to find out. paris the city of love has long been tories stream the budget despite its l. ramon's on hot summer days come feet hodge to brief, concrete roads and buildings turn the fence capital into an urban heat island. paris is warmed up by 2.3 degrees celsius, on average, since 1885 compared to 1.7 degrees in the rest of france, according to recent studies. and so the townhome is now investing tens of millions of yours to help cool down the city. what's your date? exactly? so this is a month of paris. tell me,

what is say specifically about this city. when it's, you know, it's easy to explain more just a week or just sometimes this is a historic city built for a moderate climate. and one of the most densely build cities in the world. and that's why it's like an oven. fine, more so than places spread out over a large area. is it that is the can now send more time here is already open for swimmingly. today, after next year's olympic games, we plan to open 3 bathing areas on this and river wanted one plan is to replace concrete with earth that can soak up rain watering, cool down the air, will also insulate public buildings. yeah, we see to tom pulls on the end of us, you want to know, but you know, if you mutual, i mean simple. many squares have already gone green, like the plaster on us you or this round about in the south of paris, which is being transformed into an urban forest. since trees are also key to quoting down to city. and there is a sense, with not only become an open as swimming pool, it's already making

a cooling contribution. this eco friendly cooling system is quotes pressure to putting a network of underground water pipes that is connected to water tube systems in over 700 buildings across the city. we pay a visit to one of its main ponds. this one kind of canada see some push or spaces history. the system will change by refrigeration units, which he talked in, the price of thought, he says dissipated into the sam. it's also a place to a secondary 2nd. the system can seems off as much electricity as a conventional conditioning unit. what's more, that you like? tricity comes entirely from renewable energy, mainly from solar panels. today the network has 90 kilometers this type, and the company plans to triple that over the next 2 decades. pressure on the 20 is already helping to cool places like the new museum and power

is townhomes. but air conditioning systems that use river water cons be endlessly extended, says morgan called on this french expert on oven time. instead of taishan. they didn't need your system systems like the fresher perry boom up the river volta and that certainly sites up to a certain threshold to protect like who bio diversity or anything. uh that goes with it, watching the cold. yeah. and so the systems cold down an entire city is on cell phones and we have to choose the buildings. go cool with them before, did you say that? you mentioned that you sound back to me in the future. pressure to probably will also be linked to schools, some of them already enjoying the benefits of green a streets and put dest insights, and across the city, cars increasingly sharing the streets with bicycles. you can already so i to almost all the power is on large like highways like this one and the city will add

another 50 fonts. can all mentors of bike was over the next 3 years. but not everybody is happy with the price to could boom, which is leading to more traffic jams in busy areas. that's why plan is need to take the needs of critics and local communities seriously. dyslexic, we need to make sure all times are accepted involve local people in explaining the initiative and the time is often focused on the technological side of climate caught up taishan. but the human factor is also important. that's what it sounds like. new jersey wizard, we will do all of the plans are less controversial, like this new installation that provides change when the sun is high to people in a lower income neighborhood. and then most of paris, so that don't feel that you'll do a degree. you'll receive all, you know, you'll have someone that can be up to 10 degrees cooler under the roof and we've installed a new spray found. and over there, you just need to push this button and it sprays water for about 20 seconds. what

was the, did you feel the water right on the box that is supposed to be dropped bodies and been getting basically we were installing 24 roofs like this and 73 spray fountains across paris. they'll help us get through the summer on top of our existing heat measure is it going up in our heat plan includes regular checking in on vulnerable people and offering spaces, such as on town halls where they can cool measures like these will become even more important in the future, if some us in paris continue to heat up, i must say i quite like the idea of harris cooling down even further with more shades, more spray fountains and small by cranes. that way the city was suddenly face enjoyable. even with temperatures continuing to go off by any places here in africa trying to make cities, communities of whole countries for its full climate change for its spots gone.

those struggling with garbage, which is known to pollute the soil. what to an air caused less than damage to the environment and people only 10 percent of gunners, west east collected and on the goals. so form of treatment to find a comprehensive solution to address these challenges. hybrid west energy plant has been built. the country has a great hopes for these pilot projects, and this waste sorting facility is still something of a novelty in gun. but the plants here does even more. some waste is used to produce electricity and complex facilities like this come out to be able to help us and be able to able to collect uh ways and make good use of the widths in a way you realize that one of them has to do with jump creations, so people and people in the community will not be engaged in the collection of the

ways which will actually be sent to the community to actually be utilize the facility. subbing a crucial purpose gun. as waste problem is huge. $14000.00 tons of garbage generated every day and only 10 percent of that is collected. it's a problem that's result in greenhouse gas emissions. the spread of disease and even contributes to flooding and in fact, waste is a valuable resource once it's processed. solomon and rhetoric is a salma. he and his son now use compost, made up of dynamic waste on the me field. a little bit of water by me using come before i started using my home and most of my crops about my yield was very last year. i know, but assuming your significant by the office did a lot of mays this year of last year i had about 10 bags, but this year is increased to 20 bucks. yeah. yeah. so the accomplice has been

helpful to me on monday at a content intent intent. the conquest is made in the hybrid waste to energy plants near the city of kumasi, where waste is also used to produce electricity from bio. the solar power plants produces 400 kilowatt enough to supply 500 household. the 1st of its kind in government, it costs 5800000 euros and was mostly funded by the german government. the plant was also developed with the help of government know how there's no shortage of waste that's can be used. it's brought in from the town over can copa so in a day because i spent phones, and then at the end of the day, we expect that to obtain a bunch of stick. you repeat this of gas. the plants doesn't handle metal, but plastic waste gets shredded and sent elsewhere for cycling. the organic waste is used to produce by august the help of material in this react to in the yellow

building behind it by august is converted into electricity, but to generate to of the plants we eventually employed a team of 50 people. for now, 20 people walk here, including local ex spots in waste, which meant to getting further training in bio gust technology from the german putnam. for the time being, the energy produced here isn't being said into the mass. you've read the amount of power produced by the plant isn't to yet enough for the national transmission system come in. well, yeah. okay, that's good enough to production of energy from the bargain aspects. to have more of the energy produced from the bank us aspects as compared to the solar that we have currently on the site. so that'd be kind of quite a 30 day quiz because it's a waste of energy projects. so the fact that we have with that is from the broadcast aspect that is being converted to imaging. and so this office office is

what i'm looking for. that's we have more energy that we could use in the coming months. food that they come to gwinnett sets of the grid until this happens. the electricity produced is used in the waste energy plant itself. and the plant makes via composts from organic waste in a closely monitored process. that's take that these of the say by to make sense of ways we have to sample to do analysis on them to see the nutrients build up in the complex. and also when they accomplish this finally formed, we do our analysis to ensure that's order. micro micro neutrons are present, have you minutes outside of saying titled yourself. i know i've seen the via consult, has have some exciting one and with some, well april for the adult. the need for chemicals for tonight is, is and he even saves money. as i said, we're not cause enough. it's not this organic compos, have to spend

a lot of money to buy other types of fertilizers, and that's very expensive if i was indeed knew what the bag costs, the equivalent of it was always a 30 year old. so using the organic compost has helped reduce my cost of production loss. nadia of little careful waste to energy plants. nickel mossey is a pilots project. if all goes well again and government plans to finance 10 more across the country. good to see that the a growing efforts here in africa to enhance the resilience of human and environmental systems to climate change and increase and such n t. i am sandra cole is the 3 of you signing of from complex, right to uganda. by sun dry. it was a pleasure to hosting the show as always, with view, as thanks to you off you as if you also enjoy the program or have ideas. oh, good initiatives. vive to also social media. we love hearing from you. i'm chris 11,
