solutions the future the 77 percent, every weekend on dw, the atlanta, just changing that for the what? the rising global temperatures and more and more extreme weather events are making frequent headlines. hello and welcome. i'm sorry, got the body and you are watching. as i ecosystem scenes, we not only need to amplify out efforts to save them, but we also need to adapt our lives and our likelihoods to ensure that we can keep up with the change and size. let's start with the core dwight's desk of the agriculture. yeah,
12:31 pm
must already be hard. one can assume what adding to the difficulties of these pharmacy is an emerging what the crisis 90 percent of education in this a model engine light is on collision. what does the melting of ice small suits resulting in water? scarcity is also checked to being funded by the local initiative is combining an age or traditional method with the dual technology to come back to this problem. finally, it's that tone made and his wife now have about an hour to divert the suing water onto the field. the growing bees coaxing something out of the soil. yeah. it's becoming harder with each passing. yeah. yeah. we've been finding for the past 70 years, but now it's becoming very difficult and that's how i got used to be very good. the water was good. there was snow and the weather was good trailer, but we had to timely have is the how the, how muddy the model built them,
12:32 pm
listen back to a sub for them did, but pass out of the now is unlimited. water available has to be shared equally with the other residents of thought hit. the village is located in the dock region in india far north. the cool, desolate area covers more than 9000000 hectares. it's 4000 meters above sea level and home to a little more than 200000 people. most of them live from funding. for thousands of you is d. c. a water was used to irrigate the fields, but with the temperatures rising due to human induced climate change, the grease is shrinking. life for the foremost is stuff. i do agree, i agree as, as you bought the vehicle it becomes very difficult to find here in the next 2 years because of what to schedule the trauma jetta this year. the weather is bad and the water never comes on time. either give them but a bunny near you today, a group of engineers has come to check things out from
12:33 pm
a local and you post 2nd morning that ams, to help people in the dock been the sustainable future to ensure the small mountain stream from the village has enough water and some of the engineers have created an ice, moaned ship like a stoopa, a traditional destroying a small artificial dcea. it stalls the water, the flows down from the mountains during winter for use in the summer months, or because the purpose is new, the through both finding is done only in summer to the steps under water is needed to during the winter. water is waste and risk with the it flows into the end of the river and then into boxed on into the ocean. in order to save that water, we made an artificial and lazy. i think you said that it had been out there. this do puzzle based on a wooden frame in winter, underground pipes feed the limited water from the mountain to the right place. due to the difference and pressure under water shoots upwards. the window is minus 20
12:34 pm
degrees celsius, so the water freezes as it falls, forming a cooling a few 100 kilometers for the on is the village of licksey. he ought to be bloss struggling. the aerial gets just 50 millimeters of rain in summer . but some things have changed to date. gloves on young june is making soup with dried spinach leads. she and a has been viewed as finished themselves. in the past, they only had potatoes with many. mcgraw brings you all to lease spinach and pep was and dry them for the winter as on. so just so unlike in the boston. now march, that feels by leaving plant waste on the beds, the soil can then bid to absolve what leaves rainwater. there is and it no longer evaporates immediately, the loan system dignity ok. she's a scientist in agriculture was research institute based on the city of li. she's
12:35 pm
helping people here adapt to the changing climate their own isn't use and use it for she surely take a minute. we're trying to introduce the find the new technology and some new technology. simple who go to save a lot. and when you meet the farmers face to face, you can see that they've started changing how they do things are in the nearby village of key. so she's trying to help local women create a sustainable livelihood for themselves. what also adapting to the changing conditions. so she arranged for green houses to be built. one is now used by up to 16 families solar panels provide the necessary power. it's all financed by a state subsidy program. we bought this, there. we go vegetables here collectively. so all the vegetables needs are, is an invalid, and it'll come up. that means we don't need to buy a produce from the market. but just very far away from the birthday. the women
12:36 pm
alone, the agricultural know how in workshops, treatments, young jin initially use public funds to finance the seeds for new crops. jumped on it. ok. you do everything rose you. so how does i don't know how to do it? of 5000 meters. let's regroup my friends, swab the strawberries, watermelons and tomato, and the guy. we were able to grow mushrooms when it was minus 17 degrees celsius, outside mushroom, the car, no one can say today that nothing grows you up going able to jump on me, which and it's been made possible by the introduction of technology of the changing climate was a huge challenge for the people of the doc. they would only be able to stay here if they can grow enough food to live in that homeland high up in the court, mountains of the himalayas. the not just the form
12:37 pm
of foreigners are crucial for our equal system as well. and yet india has lost over 2300000 hectares of 3 cover since 2000. but it isn't just india. we take a look at the woods of germany, which are also is rapidly declining. but this isn't necessarily need that use big parts of germany as far as this used to look like this. but now they look like this in just a couple of years. this decades old forest has become unrecognizable. the same thing is happening in many parts of germany, europe and north america. but this isn't your typical the planet is dying story. this could actually be good news, but to understand why, let's back track a little bit. well, maybe more than a little bit to the end of world war 2. a lot of the world is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. the allied forces, understandably, you want reparations from germany,
12:38 pm
but it's broke. so they agree that the country will pay partly and materials, for example, timber, lots of timber, according to some estimates equivalent to 10 percent of the countries for us. so now for us does need to replant big areas asap to rebuild germany itself. and which tree did they choose? mostly the spruce, which looking back was maybe not the best decision. but at that time, it seems like a good idea to find out why we're driving to, to ring you in the center of germany to meet funding for us to to is this moving serious decisions. and it's fast growing, regularly delivered straight high quality, what they can easily be processed at sawmills into furniture flooring. it's used quite widely. as it is english, they have items and spa. that's why it's also a very lucrative treat german forest as planted vast areas with them in straight
12:39 pm
rows that make it easier to get in. and harvest spruce is of the most common tree in germany and make up over a quarter of all forests. but that is changing rapidly because of what made this one a culture so profitable is also what made it so vulnerable. forest around the world, the suffering from more intense and frequent droughts, wild fires, and storms weakening, entire ecosystems, and germany is no exception. the longest, some is due to climate change mean the forests are too dry and the trees 1st, especially spruce street, they comparatively need a lot of water, but the root system is quite shallow. so they can't access reservoir as people down while that's not the best news for the trees all for humans. and there is one little creature that loves what's happening right now. into the box. this tiny little insect has been monitoring its way through many of germany's in europe as
12:40 pm
far as the box. people of course, loves the box. it boils holes into the tree and then releases pheromones to draw a made inside there they reproduce. emily eggs, a healthy tree usually produces resin to seal up the holes and to protect itself from the beatles. but assess the weak trees cannot. that's why the bulk beetle is having a fused. i don't think john bodies vision like 4 years ago this area was holy forest . and dyslexia, if we're standing here now, wednesday last part of this area was infested in doors this year. that area could also be, instead of in a matter of funded by the beatles. either way is that transport nutrients and water disperses and die of fast mel nutrition. the beetle is steadily spreading across europe and the halter it gets, the more beetles will breed. what a full scale infestation looks like can be seen in bach beetle central, which is the hobbs national park in the middle of germany,
12:41 pm
where we're headed here about 90 percent of all spruce is opted the box. people has come and gone, leaving behind the region. that is quite frankly shocking to look at. we're meeting the whole on peach, the head of the hots national park. the hots region is hit so hard because it had a very big concentration of spaces. but for peach and many others, this post apocalyptic looking scenario isn't a disaster, quite the opposite. for him, the bulk beetle isn't the villain. it's actually a blessing in disguise. the 5 years ago the question is what's happening later? but what's happening is that the old spruce trees are gone and the forest that belongs here is coming. when you see what kind of strength and how much life areas and it's beautiful, it's great and truly exciting. your brush button. the pol, cut down a section of the forest as a safety barrier,
12:42 pm
so that the bea cole will have a hard time spreading into neighboring forest. but apart from that, the national park decided to let nature be nature and did not fight the bulky goals . and nature is indeed doing its thing. different areas of the national park are treated differently. some pod square trees are springing up on their own left of their own devices like this area that died off about 6 years ago. some parts need a little bit of help, meaning formerly native species that were displaced by this bruce, one of cultures of being planted. but that's just one part of the story. the national park is a protected area that cannot be used to produce tinder anymore, but only around 3 percent of all forest and germany is protected. the rest is governed by public or private forest, as, for example, to produce timber. and we'll probably be using more of it since would can be a very sustainable and renewable building. material managed and grown by forest as like back in so ring. yeah. they need to take
12:43 pm
a different approach to the bunk beetles. the trees are checked for interest ation . regularly, once an interest agent is found, latrice, i'm ok, then that are top down and removed as soon as possible to hold the spread of the beetle. leaving behind vast areas of prematurely filled trees. to prevent something like this from happening again, the approach here is to not only bent on one tree, but on a variety of trees by auction, it's like with a star or you're diversify your portfolio to minimize risk. that's what we're trying to do with the mix for as to why it, how this is an equal fish, the scientists trying to identify the forest of the future. here are some of the candidates. first of the beach ok, and sycamore trees are adapted to low elevations. they can survive with less water because they root systems are deeper. seconds of a new come out and select the douglas the native to north america. douglas fast can
12:44 pm
also handle more heat and droughts. these are currently seen as good candidates, but if we continue to heat up the planet, we will need to mix in some wild cods to find out which ones may be suitable with the syringe and forestry has been conducting and now of a 10 year old experiment. in the driest region of the forest was, is often it's more or because in a mixed for us to have to deal with various species of trees or supporting each have different risks and costs its price here all the way through to the marketing of the word or other product locked in for quotes with the home phone. but from our point of view, it's more is that it's because it reduces the rent and just go with your you might have more expensive, smaller yield and budget for the forest owner. it carries less risk, the go, he's a quote hosted thoughts, basically is plain bite visits on this type of forestry, as well as the national parks approach shows where a lot of international forests could be heading. if you guys are also
12:45 pm
a chance to adapting life change or speed up the 4th version. yeah. which would otherwise take much more time. it's best to get off of onto playing. does this, it's all good in terms of addressing the climate crisis, and it's good for resiliency as well as bio diversity. ok and see if i would, even though it might look tragic, a new batch of forest is already starting to grow. one that is more resilient than what we created before. and one that will hopefully weather and adapt to whatever is going to happen in the coming decade back. so daddy's a new addition to the streets here over the last decade has been this battery operated electric show. and now these can be found across the d as in india. log on . yeah, they're really cheap for the rider, but also for the oil not. and they're also head banging down, meet it's dean, energy dot, it's in blythewood goes one easy cry at us. i would
12:46 pm
know from the outside batteries or can see beneath the note sign. see it's electric rich show is a viewing session for him. sign by signing my electric, rick shaw. this is like, got a selection me for me as it helps me earn a living. and i think it's my duty to take care of it daily. more and more ritual drivers by choosing to do without dirty diesel because induced population is growing rapidly, especially in the cities. experts estimate the traffic good by 2050 and with it exhaust fumes. there are still millions of diesels, baldwood $2.00 and $3.00 with those on india as notes. but the markets for electric vehicles is moving as to when those sales show regarding an annual jump of 30 percent to some 900000 transport export side multiple reasons for this trend. which i could be the major of reasons. the reasons for those growth in india to
12:47 pm
begin with, it's in the us climate, such as in development policies that have sort of led to this transition from ice to electric, waiting broadly. the 2nd reason if i were to attribute is start off economics. and the total is the stock ups in india of its view and he started making these electric weight goes out in intrusted into getting into manufacturing and get us. let's click where it goes back to the little the start, i would say, in a certain sense. and in many cases, the model is simple. instead of lots of battery blocks, it's usually the small ones that have a shot to like spend, what are affordable for drivers? like i'll show up to one that i've made that happen to live. it costs less and has so many advantages compared to a normal rickshaw, yet that i can save up to a $1000.00 rupees a day off the size of a heads up. i saw for the wonderful thing to do. he wants to buy a new electric shot. he just needs to choose one. the government has invested
12:48 pm
heavily in electron mobility and offered subsidies and incentives to both customers and dealers. a vehicle like this used to cost almost $3000.00 us dollars, but thanks to the government subsidy now on the costs of the customer half as much . and therefore far less than a gasoline powered car. it's a whole new driving experience for customers. so it is a go outside these electric rick show is a really useful and available everywhere. they don't use gasoline. so we don't have any exhaust fumes. i often use them to take my children to school or to go to the bench to full market and visit my brothers. once more, the service is cheap. it's also easier to get in and out of the electric richer. getting him is very comfortable. i shop to hon. yep. so that you could test drive
12:49 pm
today. yeah, i've been driving an electric vehicle for 3 years. i only commute with my electric rickshaw work that doesn't pollute the environment. it doesn't. it's meant as much exhaust fumes as gasoline and diesel vehicles. i got a bottle of me come on if i that's why he has come back for a new one. this business says $200.00 vehicles a month and is hiring new workers. and yet we've been in business for 10 years and they have good annual growth. but in the last 2 years, post cove in this industry is seen phenomenal growth. people's mindset is changing in favor of electron mobility and dice and huge success in the future as well. gimme one copy of the a sentiment echoed by hundreds of companies in india, electric vehicles sector. and with more people like the north side starting as electric groups. so drivers, they're helping to go to air pollution with each ride new change and so july, the pollution is a major problem for the emerging ecosystem. she ordered in the research as estimate
12:50 pm
to nearly $5000000.00 tons of fertilizers as a do for you to the co sign each year. and this is also a problem that denmark is dealing with. the bars. dixie is running out of oxygen. the baltic sea, with its stunting nature, is one of northern youtube's most popular travel destinations. and the coastline along by the field is one of denmark's most expensive residential areas. but it's superficial. beauty is deceptive. he's weekly fishing trips continued to show fish out las amigos and how the fuel is slowly dying. below the surface l. d. e's blooming clouding the water and depriving fish and underwater plants. the vital lights and oxygen. scientists footage shows how the bottom of the fuel it has become nearly devoid of life in waters that once were
12:51 pm
full of cod flounder and loved fish. it used to be a real fish, as paradise says nicholson. but now there are almost no fish left. he's been going out to sea for over half a century. nicholson had hoped to continue fishing off to retirement, to supplement his pension. now taking the boat out is not really worth it anymore. my. that is and he makes me both angry and frustrated. nobody is really doing anything special. no it, it seems like those who should be taking action are only trying to shift the blame of the 2 point. oh, excuse me. no, no, no, no. the nicholas ends, mine denmark's farm is to blame. the small country with just under 6000000 inhabitants is home to twice as many cows and pigs
12:52 pm
and many farm is used fertilizers on the fields that eventually end up in the c christian. and they mentioned from lies only a few kilometers from the field. he says he has already cut the use of nitrates to the bare minimum. he uses a satellite images to monitor which fields need to be fertilized and which can do without. but he thinks it would be impossible to give up fertilizes altogether. i think it's a good thing that we have reduce the nitrogen, but i don't think we can get any further. i think we got the lowest limit that we can accept as far as the plants need nutrients. the grain when grow without them since the pharma and since reducing the use of fertilizes his plans are already only surviving. and what is left in the ground. the meds fields christianson is aware of the problem. as a nature manager,
12:53 pm
he's only saying a project aimed at restoring the ecosystem invite you fjord. he knows the hard facts and numbers. at this point, we know for a fact that the 80 percent of the nutrients emitted to why the fuel it comes from funding. we also have 10 percent today from, from the up in waste water and maybe 10 percent from, from fish farming. but that is the range and that's uh tell us a little bit about where we need to have the nitrate run off regularly closes out the growth to explode. the balloon covers everything in the field. even killing the gross due to like the probation that same you across is one of the most important elements in the eco system along the baltic sea coast. it produces oxygen and provides habitat for smaller fish. that's why christianson and his team from the municipality. i've taken to planting new beds of
12:54 pm
you gross invited your feud. but the restoration project is complicated. artificial rates are being built and muscle fonts created. these blue muscles filter dirty water, which in turn allows more light to penetrate deeper fuel grass can return and therefore produce oxygen. but when too many nutrients are flushed into the sea, again, causing the algae to return, the fragile balance is thrown off and the nature manages concerns not restricted to divide. you fuel. we have hit this breaking point the, the system has collapsed within the last 56 years. so that's just the beginning. we will see this, this, the situation is over the baltic. along the coast. the ecosystem of the inland sea has become disrupted lots. and because since these little other than crowds in the nets, he puts out in the value fuel of the
12:55 pm
since they no longer have any natural enemies, they have become a plague. destroying that you gross eating the muscles and killing the young fish. did code mucus in hopes that everyone in the region would take more responsibility and act to save his fuel . because the problem, denmark is currently looking to solve is already threatening the voltage sees entire coast modifying the way the fish bomb or get to the island is urgently needed to help us adapt to this after the changing. what are there any such of that patients that you are seeing that on where you are? let us know you can email us already talk to me directly on my social media handles . i will see you next week until then take care bye. now my thoughts, the
12:57 pm
of the look at us, we have to offer in so long since some muslim women speaking out against intolerance, hostility towards foreign. this has become mainstream. here. when we hear them, it can feel like we're the problem. like we're not true french citizens when, in fact, frances, also us the focus on 0 in 30 minutes on d w. that just 3 little dots that actually i love telling tales of
