since last i a texas father is really worldwide to work for free part of the homes. we can take the different w calling world unpack pulse of your info is and all the input the w story. now on to the this is why city denny and why many like me love it. despite everything, it is still changing. hello and welcome. i'm saw that got the body and you all watching eco, india, and i am shar, much like my city. your city is changing as what some of these changes we might

like, while the others not so much. some of these changes out of choice while the others are forced by factors like climate change, which are making our cities increasing on in the store, the solar capacity is currently over 70000 megawatts. and while this has got to across different cities and villages across 7 states in the country, so far, that has been no sitting in there that has been entirely sold out. but not anymore . a 3 megawatts blondes in, in jazz, historic city of sachi, in the centre, more stage of whatever this is changing this sante in multiple days is 1st and foremost fema split. it's but this to pause, which make it a unit, schoolwork edited site. but now saki has another claim to fame, isn't just 1st solar city. it draws all, it's electricity from a 3 megawatt sort of blonde, which cost the central government,

the equivalent of some $2000000.00. in addition to the down is equipped with solar power, charging stations, water kiosks, solar street lights, a new lead to dozens, rooftop solar systems. one of these is being installed on drop it on. so dot, these, these are diode and welcome to the john's to save money. now with a guy that might have a story that it would produce people a lot of energy, that's because of the 15 units burden. i only use it $5.00 to $10.00 units started . i thought i would give the rest to the centrally grid, so i'll recoup the costs and we, i mean, i don't realize that i'm the guy. he gets to see 500 rupees. that's about 6 euros a month. he's hauled his electricity bills the soonest that the project is based on a private public partnership model. and visitor do use c o 2 emissions by some 14000 tons for you. all the public buildings in sachi, which has a population of 8000 now have rooftop solar panels. other states are lagging behind

in combat as an are in a big state like with the dish. been stored who felt so the capacity of imprinted, rented to was only about $460.00 megawatts. uh, okay. is it down to do $4.00 to $300.00 megawatts by brent doing? even though we do have subsidies and incentives available, say end of the national toyota program. but getting those and that i may not be investing in this thing, the consumer to read miss evans and making them understand the benefits. so going for a particular solution is something that this be as a designated solar city, such as a showcase project and is a bind you in your new book energy use. but the general public still has a lot to learn about solar technology dot that on. so that the has many questions about his new solar unit here to get up there should at least tell us how to clean

it in montana. and how often do you mean if we're supposed to clinic the board? but they didn't tell us how already look, how much does the test stuck with don't you know we've had a 2 years ago. the government loans educational program in conjunction with the solar city project, the public has thought about the importance of feeding energy, the goal of the new, but energies and also about the economy benefits. and the idea is that all the individuals are to be made aware of how to minimize your consumption. and is there any be in which you can use it coupons, you can design your houses, you can design your dialects in which you have at least of consumption of energy, a ph, d student, and fall time store owner. the costumer to bought in the outreach program. but he's not convinced that an online training is the best way to get locals onboard with

both of those high performers. easy, but it was an online process. so some people, his difficulties was even though most people are well versed with online processes these days, people in villages and rural areas, county 20, if it had taken place offline, more people could have annual, i think setting. but as i've been teaching people about renewable energy, getting them to change their habits and transforming down the size of thought, you clearly gone to happen over night. it says so why it was like, the dogs is showing that you that relatively more to bonds stages, the mobility and the industrial sustainability of the transition has been unfolding the inside the mood is optimistic now that it has its solar city status, it's looking to move away from fossil fuels across every sector of the economy and become a net 0 city. starting with

a 5 mega bought solar blonde dock with many supply the agricultural sector. we are not investing on to only the present consumption, but we are also looking at replacing the complete agricultural comes on shuttles because in the long run we are looking for a net to the low city. so this is not the 1st that the want to be to be artist or to do, but we want to make it 1st neg, 0 city and the board as the countries 1st solar city sachi can lead the way for other places in india. and also point out the main difficulties. and of course, john splitting the projects to a largest city will be a challenge and it says, 4 homes, beautiful gases, gardens, and water surrounding all of which city are you thinking of? well, if you look up the capital of denmark on the internet, these images will pop up. it looks beautiful or right. pretty perfect. why would

anyone want to change any of this? well, he has why? on the 2nd of july 2011. this is what copenhagen look like. dead jobs floated in the stormwater after the ones to the powers and you know, kind of brain a quarter of the sign, additional cost of sick in the aftermath. and one even died of blood infection. but it didn't stop that in full out of the last 6 years, the city has seen i've known the cloud bus, but it's conventional stormwater system. con d with new some are on the wall is full of similar stories and it's getting was copenhagen and leaving several cities. it on the was that getting a redesign as climate change is making rainfall, lester, deductible and more dense. sometimes a brave, like designing playgrounds to flood i went deep into the heart of copenhagen to find out how exactly you flag proof of city of this scale. if i was,

it was 5 years ago. this 3 who don't have been to, but instead that may have been an s u. v stuck in congested traffic. this square is one over on $300.00 spots and copenhagen chosen for me. cooper. it used to be a busy round about that it has now become a wooded area in the middle of the city. it's one part of the plan to turn copenhagen into a kind of giant sponge for the next 100 years after the devastating 2011 sledge. it's here that i met eon, joshua, some of the head of the cities cowed both management plans, who told me that they wasn't able to wake up, call the printers and the decides of at that time, that's read a need for getting a lot out of the city very fast, they ask for pain how to do this in a table weight. it could be expand to suicide, isn't or could we do it in multiple way? maybe they had the rain bought at surface and at the same time make it as soon as the waste for a more re in cd mall by diversity. and so didn't mom me and these are facing city.

so young, steam looked at the stones about, into water, cause the green component of the code was spanish from plan, invisible side control in plain sight, that's a small comp. hm. because the by more than i mean, if the water continues to come and the cost is. ready road here in a lot of ponds for hers in the, in this connected to the see these little linked phones are being built on across the city to hold excess water from land phone. but it's not just on some projects a smaller but stand what to like, green roofs less noticeable, a wide spread climate. it's looked like ordinary drains, the bigger and in areas with the higher risk, all based on the map, young steam device of how the city is likely to flood in a toad. boast event. much of the 2000000000 euros given to the water department is going 20 meters underground into the backbone of the project. the tunnel with this kind of dense of an area,

you cannot solve the problem adjustment green solutions. this is jessica thousands costs. we look for the city water department on a giant tunneling project. 500. you can do all sort of things on the surface and all of this you can remove maybe 3050 millimeters of rain. but if you're getting 150 or 200 millimeters already, you need a big system. so really trans point water away. there's no way volts. it can get into the hopper without making it tell me like this. the new tunnel network is 3. me doesn't die meter and drums for 18 to them. it goes across the city. the donald's would carry water from the bones and the roofs to us the harbor. but they still have another function for the rest of the year to watch what can be stored here instead of in the sewage system and slowly release into the hub that keeps the water quality in check. and so people in copenhagen can swim in the harbor and the canal system through the young and the tunnel step in again in a storm. if you have a heavy storm wave stop cutting funding industries,

we just opened it up and it can the transport all the water through the pumping station into the, into the hub. okay? so it will simply empty the streets that will still be watching the streets. i mean, it's not completely dry, but we'll go from from half between half and one meters down to, to 10 centimeters. essentially this maximum. mm hm. and how much water can this whole system deal with? the, the, the amount of water that can be transported in the system is determined by the pump station you have at the end of the pumpkin, the live at 20 cubic meter per 2nd. 20000 meters per 2nd. know, however you will, expressive, and as soon as you have it have a storm load and you stop getting water in the streets, it will stop and it will just keep em to the many. so these are in the process of measuring that on sponging is not every city has as much free space, so as base never post some a much more dense. i'm still developing so many calculating how to climate proof

themselves based on their own, differing needs. beijing, for example, has a water shortage problem, and if designs relies on retaining what a china is actually leading the world with over 60, or if it's up to 600 cities planning a redesign john joseph d, allocated the only 800000000 euros for the project and for 5 years, and it's between roofs and rain gardens, but it's still struggling with flooding in 2021 because it's not easy. the indian city of, of chan name on by and 40, i'm walking against the setting during the month. so i'm water shortages for the rest of the of the 2nd part is not a problem or i am copenhagen has is really high what the table of so that's what the, every way, that's why i'm on a bus that's about i'm on my way to an old block in the center of the city, calling calvin park, and that integrates both green and great infrastructure. this path works on 3 levels. the 1st is the rose garden under which water from the surrounding areas is stored. the disorders can also function that as

a risk water resource during the drive period for the cost to keep the cost of the product clean. if the storage tank is failed, we'll stop feeling the thoughts brown see over here. this is at a lower level than everything else, so it can receive water easily and be filled up as soon as the water starts to overflow. when it could look like this. and then that's the one. when it is a mess of code, both a wall comes up here to close off this compound. and this thing behind me will go into a giant based on that stores the a few of the projects have been financed by tax their money. but most of the funding is linked to consumption through a levy on the water bill of plumes and companies. and if it costs explodes too much, then we'll say, okay, we don't do it, but then there might be some more damage is locally. mm hm. and you informed the citizen that they have to protect their feelings. but even with this much

investment adapt ation to changing reinforcement only go so far with this done is kind of be able to handle of worst case scenario in terms of flooding and stumble. you have to decide what kind, what size of storm and then will always be a storm that is bigger. that's it. so is a probability and a so protection of climate change. so how often will this happen? but there's always will be a rain fall that could be even bigger. so you'll never protect it. 100 percent. but it gives a sad and protection from the front of a certain probability. and then you would lose so much. so your investment is compared to your risk of loss, and that's the size of the investment we're making. that might sound like resign pragmatism, but copenhagen's been implementing it's cloud based management plan for more than 10 years. are those cities or know those watching very closely waiting up the cost of investing now to lower the loss and damages?

climate changed slightly to bring around the world. cities and sac level, as are made for each other new gadgets in the market every few weeks. and easy access to all of them. sounds exciting, right? but what's not as exciting is what we do with this e waste stuff. is there anything in the was the hard, largest generated or waste in the was in 2019. and even though a majority of this comes from the cities, only countries 3 percent of this erase is the cycling to some extent. and cities don't even have any plans of fixing this, but not anymore electronic devices that have become obsolete address on to own a good things blonde in going but do in the state of them and not do he and his themes, they get off the appropriate recycling and disposal. many users simply told their own devices or even batteries into the normally trash with dangerous consequences.

phase percent. they won't let a company a mass of people who just throw away use this battery using the gap. is us thinking that they are small inside of this? but if 100000 people did the same thing, they might, it would be 100000 veterans. if they reach the dump, they would pollute the ground. what ought to be a for dotted line and eventually infiltrate the product the saw that are going to do it on the land, a and bucket, and this be consuming to those products, i think would be very harmful, not only for human beings, but also for any livestock, are they marty? i do, i remember, i wonder why the phone erased like what stored here is among the fastest growing the streams in india according to the late as global easiest. one of the more than 53000000 tons of eaves were disposed off worldwide in 2019. india accounted for more than 3000000 tons. and the amount is set to increase because new

products are coming to market all the time with shorter use it cycles active is complete. or what do i want to move you to the demand for electronic devices increases in years boss? and you could use an electronic product, but at least 5 to 10 years, according to what nowadays, that's degrees to one yet. that's the main reason for ebay seller because got an amount of time. so what to do with the huge mountains of discarded appliances at positions open, i couldn't supplant the theme forest thoughts, the easiest by type separating household appliances from consumer electronics. another group takes care of on devises, related to data processing the data. and then there is the data destruction processing stuff with electronics, like desktops and laptop, there's going to be data data. so part of our job is to destroy that data. some products, like that's the docs and the laptop, desktop leaf of a toby spent focus, many of. c the company process $900.00 tons of east las still bush month old,

knuckle and says, speeding cycling devices to retailers. and who would see those views is one way to ensure more sustainability. but it's not just entire devices that can be done to the market, but also in the region, compliments on value. there's all materials, a goal. so some written levels like gold, silver fill out the num, impala d. i'm not in high demand, but they are difficult to mind. so to meet this need to renew up in mind model, and that is we extract those rand matters from best production and get them back to the market. in this process, we get some hazardous waste, like lead fluorescent lights and see offended. and we have to assess as to separate and dispose of all of these types of to be able to separate overseas of india has now tightened up regulations for manufacturers. equipment now needs to have a longer shelf life, but specialist companies like percent on the coatings are essential for reducing

through these mountain soft electronic waves. the status of payment was all about cooling down the planet. and it has since the agreement, iraq has changed the cities across the was including side as it says. many cities have seen unprecedented high temperatures, even each week, including a city like fighters that has been encased in concrete. but our report i headed to the fence capital to find out about the efforts of cooling down, cutting down c o, 2 emissions and reducing equities. voluntary outlet is satisfied with this year's being harvest on the biggest rooftop farm in parents . the whole low defense, you know, move for you. the most people who come here is surprised. they say they don't feel like they're in the hall to empower,

just remove all paris is undergoing a transformation. many are sick of the traffic jams and air pollution which make the summers almost unbearable. the french capital is hoping to be climate neutral by 2050. so trees are being planted on public buildings and vertical force are cropping up. rooftops are turning into massive vegetable plantations not far from the eiffel tower, but on to our lives. rooftop farm is the biggest of its kind in europe. 1.5 picked air or the equivalent of 2 soccer fields. 250 grams. make sure you put the lid on probably, and their fruits and vegetables are delivered to a supermarket. that's just 2 kilometers away.

short distances mean lower c o 2 emissions. it's a win win situation for the environment. but what about the quality of the products? i'm beverly and because on the one hand, the goods here to record because everything is post by, but on the other hand it's a very polluted environmental. would you be? would you be all i have to admit, i am not that interested in produce, has been cultivated in the city. i prefer fruit and vegetables produced in the countryside, but especially because parents is very polluted. the french institute for agricultural research is hoping to dispel some of the doubts on this roof. there are boxes for fruit trees and a piece of fellow land to test what grows here naturally. christine oakley and the institute are looking for a way to promote urban agriculture. she thinks that they produce growing on parents

. ruth is harmless. some german colleagues at the berlin university discovered about 10 years ago that as soon as you passed the 3rd floor, you're no longer in the zone polluted by traffic. she says these roof farms also have an educational function to see one twice or at least 3 or 4 generations of urbanites who don't have any education or direct contact with rural agriculture. so most of our children, grandchildren don't know what cultivating the tomato or style it entails, it could be too much in center. that's why it fall component to the rescue. the vegetable farm in the middle of a typical concrete desert in the paris suburbs. very good. how are you? the 3 of you go to work. i think they're a bit shy that's offered to me though. he is less worried about their pollution

then the contaminated ground by heavy metals, for instance, parties found a way of getting around this refer to the conflict in. so i'm thinking about, as the story was broken up, the leg was thinking slowly, especially if i don't use any plants that would retain it or do anything. if i don't use spanish labs, right as carrots or beat root that drop the lead, it was thing down with the principal pieces of who he has planted edible flowers. instead. he says that tests have shown that they have no lead residues, and chips loved them. so that won't open for us, take a tiny little grain, it tastes like leaks that level. it's pretty incredible. people see that? i don't see, i said it's, you know, many urban farmers are convinced that there are solutions to fight the problems that arise in an industrialized city. and the state is funding, visionary projects and farms all over france. there are already over 300

but you know, tony and powers, but in all of the big cities of france and even your there are more and more roofs being built of the many i'll get you to already thinking about how to use roost vegetation and create green roads, bank of pulse, but one day after the visit to visit with alonzo ali and his colleagues are planning to double their rooftop space in paris. this is where they see the economic and environmental future. and we've talked to our cities were developing and changing from the back to my tons out of got else into this liquid is parked when you to mess. but us to these are changing again. and this time around these changes actually do seem for the better. only time was the last, but you're telling me are any, what changes happening in your city? i would love to know. you can email us or reach out to me directly on my social

media. i will see you next week until then take care. good bye. now most gosh, the

tackling the rock chrissy together. angela is a volunteer who assist slot is an engineer to train in who is being treated into many though the care of those wounded in the will was guaranteed gym and also as he's hopelessly overwhelmed and without the help of volunteers,

it would oh for the boss focus on getting ready in 30 minutes on the w, the taste. we have a problem that was in the us middle class income has barely risen in the last 20 to 30 years. 6, perhaps at the same time that keeps rising. everything has to be subordinate to the pain. is that 300 trillion that, that trap? december 9th, only the w ones move for a robot vacuum. one giant leap for exploiting the ocean floor. cutting edge technology is i'm looking to potential of deep sea mining. and the

vehicle's been designed to pick up nodules and leave as much sediment behind as possible. but this time, a research team will study the possible risk in order to minimize then we have an opportunity to get it right before we even start. we have a whole new industry that will proceed only when the regulations of things are to place. environmental activists of skeptical is this true nature conservation and the green washing the rules. now billions to be made out to pub documentary is deep c, greed stats, december 7th on d, w. the
