2:30 pm
the words people have to say, that's why we listen to every weekend on d w the, this is watch thing looks like in the city of then lessons away the glorious sunshine. and so i was every with hello and welcome. i'm sorry because the body and you're all watching eco and while the weather seems absolutely for effect right now, it is only a matter of the weeks before the heat waves are upon us and it is not just the city of days, but cities across the world have lost such perfect weather, these 2 extremes,
2:31 pm
temperatures and extreme weather events. and now we're just our way of hopping from seat weighs droughts, florida spies to slot, tail storms and psych loans and then the 4 weeks. and the sizes printing. speaking of psycho in the winter in india will for she ended in february and the men department told us that these last windows were unusually warm. and despite over on higher temperatures the chord we've did no expense. i'm wiley on the side of the to some of us were was to like the auburn for many of whom are homeless ad works for us to stay in such night showed my folly bohack dates. so look at the other things that have them would spend the winter of the highest night descends in the city of delhi, the dipping mode to the same. those on the street scrambling full ways to keep warm . every night i head out with my camera, person, the documents,
2:32 pm
stories of the homeless and the poor. how all the coping with the frequent bolts, of course we've that has gripped, know that india for the us. okay. the cartoon has been calling district of the bustling road as a whole. a bamboo slap forms of wonderful food. and dr. info shown is 118 deal baby. so care there may not have heard of the word climate change, but a nice on the streets is definitely governed by the with the a good day. she says is when the sun comes out to boom, her poor body high. a theatre with sunrise. he's waiting list of clues, what's new shoes? that keep taking my shoes a week to complete a study by the lights of commission in 2020, but on the phone. that is in the, the number of debts for you linked with ob,
2:33 pm
normally port temperatures is more than 600000. not taking into account the hardship and the loss of live liquids due to illness from the food. and it's not just the homeless lest softly, i need to see the dog in the natalie and adjacent to the cities. flashy x this week . hundreds like me though. so the city is a lead cleaning the homes that have dipped in cord water or the to the done to the shanty quartets. oh yeah, beautiful. what time to me. but if my son would be on the list, then at night she says she keeps so says boom, by dropping many blankets, she's still scared to switch on any sheeting field of suffocation or electrocution . it'd be when i speak to agrees that the window this cl fields harsh. i'm detail from the indian metro logical department conforms. look the perceptions noted in
2:34 pm
states like deleon for job breach the most to the deep sleep quickly in the last decade winters they have to come short though, but the density of the chord waves has increased in response to the core with the state government, the daily announced the, with the action plan, hundreds of temporary shelters, a set up across the city where it's a job you're thinking municipal solid about large in charge of the action plan. shares. what details? so these uh, $134.00 plus minus 10. so there won't be for this window, and they will be here too much. there's a large group of up. i'm going to ask because people don't want to see them. i don't. yes, they say that, right? do we have the should go ahead? yeah, no, we don't want them in your government has been different, but we don't want to see it. we don't want to see it with the poor little in addition to shelter for the poor,
2:35 pm
these in protection against the port. i thought meetings that any government supports and feels like upset box to provide quotes me to the whole. so it's why they don't the deal at this time. so by nearly $20000.00 new, i mean for the whole less than daily. average rice mixed on the menu is the kind of a dash of the tea leaves. i'm a splash of some of the checks need. the data to to know is in touch to dismantle spice's food. step done, i'd be lashed, don't of actually it pops up to understand how the moves up to fade seamlessly in this kitchen. they don't know shows or they don't have any house. and they asked in these, we have another, do they have a blessed a cool? so while them this me now just a lot. so what we're doing is that the breakfast, lunch and dinner. the mission maybe to eliminate tongue to the all the issue is
2:36 pm
also conscious of reducing this problem, put in the kitchens on some fuel efficient stove, and the top of the building is followed by solar energy. once the food is ready, it's sent for distribution in electric when he has 9th defense. it's time distribution side deceptive degree that it's, even though maybe the norm in the future will extreme cold weather in the window. for a few days, i didn't turn screens in the summer. so the question is, how can i have the recall cities climate resilient? i am on my way to meet to individuals who may have some solutions. i don't have a goal. sure. head, the council for energy environment and water emphasizes a need for high quality data for dimensions. what is needed? fewer is much more hyper local assessment of these risk and looking at a district level. and you can generate an update the some district that i have
2:37 pm
a scientific assessment of the way the experience might play out in this very narrowly defined area. yeah. now let's map it to find the most audience that is not just about providing susan. so it's a structural but also the creation of social infrastructure, whether it's to the soup kitchens, it's not just a near fabric, but you're also provided in your boss technologies like had mittens and electric over codes to reduce exposure to the quote before these things quite well my next stop is at the office of architect bunkers hooked up keys up to view that climate resilience for the pool can only be achieved by a more equitable view of city designs on with. i think one of the challenges of more than a t and of modeling just architecture is when you're throwing the same set of tools that or problems they tend to be obscuring the actual root cause. and the other routes causes when we're forgetting that or not to the traditions have been climate friendly,
2:38 pm
language changes in using. i know what subjects with it before. functions advises that city planners need to go back to the basics, to the indian e pulse of building with the nuclear materials that, as well suited to look at the conditions. on my last day of chronicling this story, i need to, that'd be a, she's been living in the tempter, the shelters for almost a month, and they get a trouble seem big. but she has enough garden this in the heart to provide refuse to a dining and kitchen dropped in her showing was on support. a story. reminder that e, without as was times the human spirit can be storm, resilient, human spit. it may not be enough to come back to the climate change. what is needed is community care organizations, smart use of technologies to adwords, early warning system, and is eating profile cities such that they can. so the many people i have met on
2:39 pm
this story that we just bought a glimpse into the lives of the auburn for a lot of those who migrates into big cities often end up working. i've been a construction sites or as we speak us in harsh weather conditions, one of the major health pets that'd be face is equity use. and the majority of these walkers are women on who these in fact, i'm much was this is the post world landfill. at about 30 to pick this. it's the 2nd largest dumpsite in india is gap or to new delhi. more than 200000 people live alone. it's fair to meet us for the last 25 years came. i have lived and worked here as a waste baker, city mc gump. it'd be that the p. i used to go to work, then come home that send my child to school and do all the chose to go to excel. but for the boss here, my head hasn't been good. so piece,
2:40 pm
so i stop going to walk as well. if you think you might, i used to walk 2025 days a month, but now i will close and put out the cut. i will know what estimate with them i make out about the big for people who live this close to the line. so even the ad debrief is toxic in a city that has some of the most polluted ad in the woods, improper waste, dispos that makes things much woods table is bought of a group of fuck the women who have been learning about this issue. and the reasons for the has problems they're planning to reach out to the thousands of other women who do similar work. the group meets regularly with local f, as in data, and conducts public hearings and social medical and environment police. it was thing, this is extremely important to have this kind of community level engagement because typically what happens is that, you know, people are not at the end of their is they are unwillingly. it's bush to i live in the air, pollution heat, both outdoor indoor. so the 1st step definitely is that, uh, you know, the thing i learned this among them and, you know, some of these,
2:41 pm
our next programs i am aware of are also providing some individual live is, you know, a strategy to really add up to the situations. susie blue, i'm more of it of the need for the strategies been, looks on. she grew up in a family of base because it has fullest hand experience of the health problems these by the women. things that are such as also seen in medical tests that in these b, if this is it sells the bottom ready function test. we found that this big of a main road about 3.6 times more likely to have a voice in long conditions and stuff like um, charities will 6 times likely to have less and long functions as compared to men. and because they're cooking indoors and the cooking on bio bio mass fluids or do we highs is equal, it looks on a and the theme audits into an environment of action and research group have set up
2:42 pm
a quality monitoring devices across the neighborhood. this has local them and land they walk and daily activities they avoid working in the waste of rent. the monitor flashes red and fig precautions like reading box even outside of book back at home . the women have taken steps to cook with mr. newton fuels just to get all of this up to the women here, use bio mass jobs. but then be heard about a government program to provide for you guys to lenders. we looked into how to access the scheme was part of the v head details to do to 35 people in the colony obtain gas and interest gas bill idea. in 2022. the was air quality to for designed debbie ford in a list of the was 15 most when you did cities, all the air pollution affects everyone walker in the informal sector. so for the most major in perspective, projects and construction sites rely on no big workers who have little to no
2:43 pm
protection for pollution on the job. defends that also near the construction site. so they get little respite from the producer. that's a good little pulling cement, always created a lot of task under the effect on the event and to a mountain level. we had no choice to live on the the construction sector. workers here are also organizing and retraining to work and see for jobs. many large, depart in an introductory book shop run by and n g, or to learn how to use the proper safety equipment. she says it made a difference. we will pick a not that of the model but i took part in this training for 15 days on august 21st and foremost what safety equipment i need to protect my health is the my goal on any with the efforts of women like fema looks odd and many may be a drop in the ocean with the hope that over time the will help raise awareness and promote better working conditions for, for informally was in debbie. as we have seen in this episode so far,
2:44 pm
extreme temperatures are increasingly becoming a major problem. and this and telling me that now we need more artificial cooling and heating, especially in those spaces. the downside, so this is any sort of as envisioning what he thinks us when he consumes a lot of fossil fuels, which is done increase is global warming and form tribute to more extreme temperatures unexcused weather event. so is that a cleaner way of stacking this problem? let's find out or nothing required small energy worldwide in keeping houses. woman providing to industry heating accounts for half of the global energy consumption and 72 percent. while heating comes from binding fossil fuels long story short to limit global warming. we need to bring heating emissions down. my name is the mid sized city of about $300000.00 inhabitants. it's 6 directly on germany's biggest river. right. and you guess, right,
2:45 pm
the river plays with key role in this story. the magic is happening in the local energy providers producing heading mt thing really makes a fossil fuels and cold was up until today. the region relied heavily on the most climate timing source for heating cooling. this is felix ok. he's energy manage it. energy company, mtv. the magic machine we're about to show you is his baby. this single thought land is responsible for about $6800000.00 tons of c o 2 every year. it's almost one percent of germany's annual emissions, but this is changing for the better right now. the thing that i'm f meg, and all the details of water flow down the run that covers manheim, seating needs several times over them, even touch cold temperatures. so now it's about 6 or 7 degrees celsius,
2:46 pm
from the physics point of view and thus hits the enough heat, you know, grammar of this deafening done is in fact a heat pump for this by pushing through 800 meters of the type a 2nd. it can provide heat for $3500.00 households audio rooms. so this is where the wind going to comes in and goes to the loud sheet change of the event parade to but it's, it's passed the heat to the foot tubing. okay, wait a 2nd. let's take a step back. this is what happens in all those pipes. the what that seems co to us, but it's easily warm enough to turn a liquid refrigerant into gas as this kind of approach. extremely low temperature is the gas expense, and electric pump then compresses this gas. this generates heat. this mechanism is so efficient. you can generate 3 times as much heat with the same energy as with a gas for that. it doesn't just work with river water. you get the same effect with
2:47 pm
heat from and the ground. ideally the electricity for the pump comes from renewable entities. but even if it comes from fossil fuels, it's still more sustainable. so now we're going to see that he started from with this review the over the entire at the moment i found the largest proportion of this is still heated with cold. only 3 percent of the heat comes from the river. but that was soon changed as the coal fired power station was probably be shut down by 2033 as energy efficient and sustainable. every of the heat pump is taking heat from the river means that the want to is being discharged 3 degrees quarter after the process was potentially negative impact on a larger scale. however, due to the small quantities of water being discharged, the temperature and the river only changes by less than $110000.00. it's of a degree according to m, v. v. but now i mentioned one of them there with ryan, with a major city. so they're wanting to cover that tie he to month,
2:48 pm
including industrial tons such as the ss, or could extra funds the rhine will useful to mid the might use water for, for heat pumps, for the processes. and suddenly you get to, you get an issue with another issue, all the refrigerants that can be terrible greenhouse gases. there are alternatives on the market which have less global warming potential. but some of the other issues such as being easy to ignite and manufacturers tend to produce business as usual. in my name, the generated heat is distributed by district heating over an i'm across in germany, around 15 percent of all buildings. i know he does in this way, and most of it could be meant by large heat pumps, cutting out cold and gas. they have to have a nice but installations have started to pick up. the problems can exec energy from almost any say? yeah, way for to see people from the ground is it only to be shoes because it's pretty small to be used in almost any residential building like this one
2:49 pm
a by 20. so the heat pumps could save as many emissions as all costs, and you have produced a year with smaller units taking a central stage, especially as heat pumps can also turn from heating into cooling mode at a more energy efficient than classic air conditioners. but there is a catch, of course, it's the money, a particular woman, sterling office, heat pump, switching from a different hitching system is always going to be more expensive as we are right now. right now in 2024 heat pumps can cause $2.00 to $4.00 times small. the natural gas was, it's a big outlay, especially for low income families. on the other hand, long term they could save you money as heat pumps need less energy. in europe, households currently save on average $900.00 per year, and in the us $300.00. but the advantage of fossil fuel heating depends highly on. yep. energy prices is full. the recent energy price cost is when prices became
2:50 pm
unpredictable. and for the tile, on average, of course, your electricity was around $33.00 times more expensive in gas. so you can see if you having especially heat pump, getting a 300 percent full 100 percent efficiency. you might be saving some money back in the u. k. where on this, before the press cost is electricity was 5 times more expensive in gas. so you can see that, that you would really struggle to be saving some money. so if heat pumps almost sustainable, and it cannot make any viable, depends highly on your government's energy policies, whether they've favor cheap green electricity over fossil fuels. in mon, i'm the prospect of high to to texas local climate targets and states subsidies for the construction of the plans with the size. if in the switch to read the heating that target is to provide almost 100 percent clean heat by 2030 refund will cover all of that. but will be one important component to eventually shut down the dirty
2:51 pm
cold power plant behind me in the near future. so might of, smaller scale did problems almost sustainable, and can make regions more independent from fossil fuels. let's have to, literally, i look beyond foss, soft i, to, and fashion. the country is increasingly becoming a fox thoughtful climate change. while nearly 300 explain that events were recorded in 2009 in 2019 over 1600 such events was recorded, which is almost of 5 for the increase in nearly a decade. last year, the country that guarded 2 devastating floods and the steam off to a long period of city are dropped. i'm much like into all fall mazda and infinity are struggling as with, let's speak a one such fama to find out more. for andrea, my landry, the floods last spring were disaster. his 25 heck to farm was completely submerged . he lost huge costs of his harvest of kiwis, apples and peaches,

a loss of move in half a 1000000 yours. he said there's only finishing. but that half as traffic floods are any one menace. italy is considered particularly vulnerable to climate change. in recent years, my laundry says he's grappled with drought, hailstones, tornadoes, and coal snaps. this middlebrook about to put on the, on the, on the lot before i wasn't worried about it really loud now. most of the floods or am i up to buddha corner. leona cool tenants at this the about 10 to the but it's nothing put in there to the same place and then it'll look at each other. but it isn't just climate change that played a role in the flooding. some of the reasons seem to be main and media romania is one of italy's most fragile regions when it comes to flux and then find mainly because of use of unchecked construction in nearly vo, plains ceiling and tie a areas already proven to flooding over $200000.00 take tons of land have been
2:53 pm
paved over encroaching upon forests. if you only thing that are these 3 rivers are squeezed into ever higher and narrow banks to give space to houses, industries in agriculture, we need to reverse this approach. pretty the 6 years ago, the regional government austin ambitious, the roland consumption bill, but it was never implemented saline sense. high risk flooded areas have long be well mapped. blue lines clearly indicate when nothing should be built, but they kept being ignored. and you know what i but then when i worked in the local administration, who counselors sometimes came and asked me to move the lines to allow their friends and such to build. this is the problem. when politics does things like that, it's not looking out for the public interest or the interest of future generations . you know to say that a simple because the theater is that is

a beautiful president of many of the canals and streams of amelia romania is extensive irrigation infrastructure of us that banks meet urologist p allergy. randy says, because it's only face 2 years of extreme draft before maintaining the regions, waterways and river banks was no priority. and we'll, we'll do the calls because of the 5. 1 of the things we need to do is to restructure every model the land for a new climate case. what i want, can i look at the more we have to take charge and invest in infrastructure that can bring us towards adoption, booked out of and they all put in. we will have to adapt unofficial. what's the name of the doctor? that's also evident in the town of mo, deanna. it's recorded over 200 land slides in may 2023. local authorities say, well, the priority is to rebuild the dissolve to shows that comp simply be business as unusual request re we have to rebuild with respect for the natural landscape

entering and the florida salma. and jerry, i'm a lender. he doesn't know how long he'll be able to hold out in the face of increasingly frequent, extreme weather events, friday, all geological thought and the queen the farmer today has become almost a brook enterprise. let me put it all. but as you'll see this whole thing, because usually it's going to be tied to the really tough while i media romani, i had to deal with the often math of the floods. the question of what amplified this tragedy and what can be learned from it is growing evan outta sol menu, if you will watch actual from different spots of the was i'm come from such a way these cultures and contacts and yet climate change. in fact, all of us solve possibly doing more than the others, but no one is on touched that meal. how do you feel about this? i'd love to hear you can email us or reach out to me directly on my social media
