the young people clearly have the solutions, the future is 77 percent. every weekend on dw, the a human activity is driving climate change, while menial force don't know exactly what we personally can do to minimize our negative impact on the planets. in fact, we can do a lot such as reducing the individual carbone footprint, or we're using results as we can also learn from others. was such a good example. i will meet at some of them on the 6. so i present lives in lagos,

nigeria, good to have you with us. here's what's coming up. turn in plastic weight, said 2 children, converting vacant officers to solve the global housing crisis. and how are you getting done? raise your manager has worked to 1000 kilometers for clean messages without press report takes us to know the gun. now with the period between and the july late august is the link the season is a time when put starts running low and many face hung up for the security is on the west. and by the kind of severe drugs that the region is koren lee grappling with, what farmers needs are a zillion prompts, and they've, they have high nutritional value to that's even better. thankfully, the us to look, feel a cold. so for me,

let's lift it is or do it way. maybe lum bone has to feed, have grandchildren. and that's how many somebody is in gym by the northern gunner are in the same position. they mainly drill mays or rice. the next obviously still a few weeks away and supplies are running low. and then there is the prolonged draughts. many peanut plants of we that some of the mays to we rise is not much wearing at the largest hospital in the region. the baptist medical center in the letter who many patients my ne, a cs. so my law is expecting a baby son and like half of the pregnant women here, she's suffering from anemia. blood has too few red blood cells because she doesn't have enough to eat. don't want the info and when a new day breaks, if i am lucky, a 3 times at worst,

only once pregnant women with anemia, luck, important new trends. so they often give birth to my notice to children 2 year old . this month's health has watson over the past 5 months. he's lost more weight and he's always tired. he's just one of the 13 children being treated, he a full acute model nutrition. this marcus, uh, not as me. and the me, the a bomb, simple phrase is 9.2, we sure that he's doing this is really my model number and multiple guy. and he's funny, a doing all the come to produce more fluid whitelaw, the farmers are still hoping the amazing survive the draught is funding it is already harvesting. that's because the planted problem meal it, it's phones all of the maze and these more resistant to draw it. now the number i go, some of the quoting funding,

these copies of good. it will have any household around this time or the those who refuse to grow millet a now regretting that decision, i'm going out and buy a lot. i look at the bulk of i always depend on need to every year and it never fails to be on a smell for, by my good luck one. and i mean, the sale points out of the more dominant that of, of the canadian government as long promoted the cultivation of amazing vice at the expense of millet. this is because the used by heck to a significantly higher for mays, for example, the country only produces around 200000 tons of millet annually. and more than 15 times as much mays as recommended by the government funded a down. yeah, higher growth, rise in mays, but he's watered that he's deals who have suffered due to the draught. he's also tried me let's but because these fields are in constant use, the sewing is to depleted for me that he will have practice those twice. and we

assume that there's also a tablet here. so you've got wanted to me is some of them later when we do. but it's not always our case studies for this. but if i do this, not more like it used to be. so we had them much, but without one that ice the nice and some of the, the new varieties of piled meal it could solve the problem that being propagated. here in the test fields at the savannah. i agree control research institute in northern gunner varieties that contrived despite depleted size, and that's even better adapted to draw it while you're getting the reading. but as well, this will be that to be able to do with where miss will not then relate to is come in is if it's required for the quantities of the inputs entails or felt like you does premium that fails with anything. this new variety is going to be sold at a causal of the institute. right now,

it's almost empty because the new meal it is being on the lives in the love of the samples. i've already been sent to some 5000 farmers across northern gunnar for trials. the feedback has mostly been good. meanwhile, i'm one multiple guy and he's for me to have almost completed the task list. they're still using a traditional variety of positives. and yet they've harvested 600 kilo's in 2 weeks without the use of getting calls more than enough to bridge these short lean season where there is no means for me to come even. so the millet and in the meantime focus on mays which will need to be caused by the lives of don't dont go babylon done about the we finished harvesting the millet and of just planted some of these on the same fields, a bigger liquid table in 2 weeks time will apply for the lives of them. yeah. and the plans that are already looking good out by the low court that the

nearby jim buddy is. will you be the amount of straight food because no have enough millet to cook traditional deep fried bowls made from millet. what a liquid or sugar it is a popular decent, affordable at around 5 bureaus. sense above the reach of mute, friends like ion and mug museum, and that's multiple so we have is it will it is a healthy meal. it sounds to me, it is a gun and no one sprays the chemical. so need that. got you. so it's good for a healthy guy. you have a problem. miller to may still be the more gun is crops, but it has the potential to really improve the countries for security is turned up to the challenges of a changing climate. the next to move to south africa for this weeks go in your bits. it's pretty amazing how much time to move

from recycled plastic, bought to such as bricks, clothes, and funny to all sorts of things. in cape town, we found the company that does turning them into a very to silver as boys. it's a great example of a false, like kind of me works. a little boy in my driver's seat is mckenzie makoto. he's 5 years old and quite stunned. as you can see, i'm a toy scooter. what you can see is what i used to be. i was want plastic bottles and no containers like the waste was destined for landfill, or the open sea. south africa produces $92.00 and a half 1000000 tons of plastic waste each year. around one 7th of it is recycled to around recycling fantastic plastics. in cape town,

the waste is shredded and folds into the elements on nato. on a warning, it's about to get complicated. we'll put it through a process of analyzing it through the small daniels. then it gets wash. it gets as rod, it gets these the top. it gets shipped into a concert. it's new to help us. it gets excluded. it gets pin size or depending on the system is what you thought was the last time for a show. right? to play a $180.00 degree 10 is one of the country's top tricks is in the meantime the pilots still have to be meltdown. then this cool mold shapes my individual parts to manufacturer a used to improve toys from china, but it was too expensive side of the company started making their own speeches from recycled plastic and using solar power to,

to save money. what made me use the cycle material was cost or these need, but just purely based on cost. how do we make our product as cost effective as possible for the market to accept all product? the repurposed waste is off the price of new plastic. my kind of wheels do you need fresh plastic, they wouldn't look so bright. otherwise, apparently i'm at least 90 percent recycled. and i'm proud to say i can be purchased an advocate launch a supermarket chain. i costs between $9.00 and $20.00 depending on the model. incidentally, my design is based on the sketches that deliver groceries in many south african cities because he hasn't been bored since we've been playing together these past 3 years. and that's happy to be loved. is it so much? he's always, if i did not around, i think he needs to be experience or for his $50.00 cost, truly driving

a car for you the up to a completely different topic now and 2 buildings these days. many office buildings around the world have high vacancy rates. this is partly due to the number of people working from home since the global covey pen demik. and at the same time, there's a housing prices and safe is everywhere because of verizon rates. once alicia could be to convert those on use offices into homes. if you live in a city, there's a pretty good chance are living through a housing crisis. rent in the major cities are skyrocketing, and this is happening all around the world. at the same time, housing has grown scarce. some building stand empty,

downtown signed for it looks like just about any other big city central business district, public leaving high rises do high then alarming fact. nearly 10 percent of the city is offices are facing. other major cities around the globe have vacancy rates that high or even higher. so why don't we just convert empty offices into housing for people worldwide? for many of us are back in the office, working from home is here to stay. for instance, 35 percent of us workers who can work from home and still do, and plenty only come into the office on occasion. but if they can, workspaces are entering new problem. long before the pandemic eating officers were already becoming less desirable. it hasn't been for about the last 10 years of the trend of the cold flight to call it to you. stephen painter, in architect that one of the world's biggest firms, focuses on adaptive reuse. people when, when you're in

a lease is an older buildings are going to the new laws that will be built because they offer that kind of amenities kind of locations, people and all these empty officers are in just to waste space. they mean less rent for owners, lower tax revenue for cities and the decline of entire neighborhoods. we have beautiful buildings. we have a wonderful plaza as we have sort of all of the physical assets. we just have vacant buildings. and so you don't see that vibrancy used to, you know, kind of look down these key car doors, and you would see just streams of people, you know, coming down the street. and you don't see that as much anymore. literally along the leaves of planner in san francisco, another studio dressing high vacancy is almost 90. 5 percent of our tax revenue comes from business tax from downtown, about 80 percent of our g. d. p came from from downtown companies in 2021. it is our economic engine, and so it needs to strive so the city can thrive. roughly one 3rd of offices are

vacant in san francisco. the 3rd most expensive housing market in the us. at the same time, the ongoing construction of new housing is causing a whole different host of problems in order to meet climate targets, but also other sustainability targets. we will need to actually stick with what's already built into a hug that researches urban sustainability at stock homes. royal institute of technology, even if this new production of housing and buildings is done with very energy efficient and an optimized technologies, this won't be enough. we will also need to reduce the total amount of new production. and this is what brings us to frankfurt. i checked out an ongoing conversion project. an office tower built in the 90s will soon be reborn, is around $150.00 furnished apartments. then you mean all brush the developers

regional european head is excited about adaptive reuse. the data for the environmental factors obvious since the building show is already standing. answer the shell alone, usually accounts for about 50 percent of emissions during construction. it's a, a fairly significant portion of the course a long time, but it doesn't only save on emissions. re vamping and office building can be up to 30 percent cheaper and construction can be done in half the time. that depends on the project. this one wasn't much cheaper than a new build, but speed play the big part of the tide. i think the time factor is really critical, and it allows us to start generating rental income through the property pretty quickly. re purposing an old building to serve a new function, it's called adaptive reuse, and can extend to structures life. think of turning old factories into artist slots or warehouses into ubiquitous street food holes. retrofitting and existing structure is a lot more complicated than planning. everything from scratch. as developers have

found out, apartments and officers aren't always a $1.00 to $1.00 fit. it depends on when in where they were built. modern, open plan offices were built for living in. first, you must divide up large areas while ensuring rooms get enough sunlight. and you can't just have one big bathroom for a whole floor. each room needs a ventilation seating and power to, to end up with shiny new apartments. many conversions essentially rebuild everything except the existing foundations. and besides these constraints, make many offices just too much work to convert. according to painters research. roughly 30 percent of offices are ideal candidates. if you look at the us market where we're doing a longer slack is about a 100000000 square feet of office space. and if you come by just the vacancy on about 70 percent of that you can create between 6 and 7000000 new homes. but just turning offices into apartments isn't going to be enough. neighborhoods that are

just office box can be a bit inhospitable calling with finance bro. has by day or thing, it's a ghost. how is outside of business hours? insurance people live? not just work. there. could change that this neighborhood of frankfort, mito god, which developed as a sprawling set of offices in the sixties and seventies. given the wild be creative nickname of the people shot for office city. but by the mid to thousands, nearly one in 3 of the offices were sitting in in 2006, the city began converting the mc office powers into housing creating through mixed use development. now it's still good places to live shop and go to school instead of just places to work. frankfurt result in the area in terms of parking lots and the green spaces and kindergartens. it brought in developers to build apartments and shots. when they're done, they'll be 6000 apartments here, others. so there's stuff suddenly leave now that the areas livelier,

the offices of actually become more attractive. so it's easier to rent them out. he's on the positive meetings his best on the canadian city of calgary. he started working with painter to revitalize its downtown in 2021 account. we had about 38 percent vacancy in their office market and i was assigned one of the listing. well, i think very quickly actually for our program together, which gives you $75000.00 square foot to compare the building and move forward with the red tape out of the way to make these projects moving more quickly. the 1st 5 projects and now under construction, represents about $750.00 new homes. then they have 10 more approved patriots. as much of this, housing will be affordable and built with families in mind. thanks to the financial incentives provided by the city. a doctor for use often has even more red tape the new builds that will have to change if we're going to use has potential to curve emissions. so if you take turns around as an example, there's a role in the downtown you cannot really get office space,

it's protected is appointment, but that was created in the seventy's and then just never got it because it, there was no need to change it on out as a desperate need to change it, that's, that's kind of holding up, which part is happening? such arbitrary regulations are quite common and approval for conversions often takes as long as it would for a new build, even though the structure is already in place. since that are 1st office conversion projects i've done well, then you mean all dress thinks it's for and will focus more on adaptive reuse. many developers have shown interest in these projects in cities like san francisco are supporting office conversions. the kind of support offered may determine the type of housing we get. flipping offices into housing is clearly no quick fix and it's not going to solve the global housing crisis overnight. footprint per in calgary, do show it can make cities vastly more livable and it can drastically reduce the environmental impact of relying solely on new build in the

active as the next report is a re do model you come paula, uganda. but joseph, the young guy is best known for his good but, but to improve is for its safety, especially for children in those ups. thoughts with changing all the tubes and the ideas and getting away from the idea that driving is back to that walking up because the city is getting more and more crowded. by 2015, the number of city 3 less is 60 almost people to 1500000000. and the city traffic to us is growing along with that has last season trucks a big lift everywhere and go to just fumes legal title track. and john sparks are among the most pretty to african cities, fit this rich due to a, a police shooting up because is twice as high as the global average. the cities on the continent having trouble finding a solution. you can just copy to comp,

i wouldn't mind joseph b and guess he's tired of it. the trust the continued city has customer life last year alone, someone 1600. this teens died. intrinsic accidents. in addition, many guides will go to seek from the party to a we have very many vehicles on the road. most of them not in a good condition. they put thing, got fumes, which i know it's a good for even the people who are working with living in the city whereby we are king people every day. we need to rethink and permit desired. a city that is fearful they won't hear. so gonna position words that come from us the what it is. no, we didn't safely this. so this morning, joe, look as he is known as social media, is joining the thirty's income paula to promotes non motorized trust which as a way of reducing emissions. does it decline as

a pilots in template added comfort zones? so we failed to twice that if we can promote the 90 more to $40.00 per us, but 60 and then we'll study and kind of do get into what people didn't give them. how did the benefits so doesn't anymore today, the kind of transportation become good more than half of complex population, lots on site because this is probably the searches for more motorized transport into the tool. but it was moved on to 9 years later, the pilot freeze on was commissioned in combined. it's tricky is for closer to me to is being consistent enough for the cities, but the nature of more than 3000000. 1 of the things i would love to see in a company is read from the influence of the cbd, just the, the busiest zone call free zone. it should be coverage. if you're going to come

into the city the most you can do it cycle just sec, i'll finish. so i just cycle, you request to us just cycle into the city. that is very sick for everybody that is still for people who are cycling. it's safe for the people who are within the city . many of guidance associates driving with status. bengal wants to change the mindset that to working on site clean is only for the poor. he's creating the message includes the of an accident. what to me with that code crushes who have an accident. and so many students good in the that somebody's petitions like mikaela university, i've know introduced security number ability to replace motorized transfer on campus. i just wish how it would be, how to look. if this breaks where in the city, imagine, oh, come part of the beautiful come power would not be choking component to be having

the death. yes. yeah. oh no, no steroids. the end is always competing for clean systems. as a professional broadcast, he knows how to use the media effectively. other things, each one of us has a good something to do. the way they can do the best is awareness, raise awareness, point of issues that need to be done and let somebody do that. intervention being done will be less concerned citizens in bucklin, at 220 kilometers activism. walk to the east of composite the 60 jenny was his 2nd attempt to complete hundreds of kilometers on foot by 2 spots. enjoyed plenty of health benefits in the process. i thought it was kind of interesting close to pick mean sick, but also working helps me for my health, a busy clarity of mind. but when you, when you identify with people what they like,

how they behave, what they are putting any to the likes being that you probably never have boobs up when you drive it. and jo, okay, he's convinced small strides to take the message from one step at the time he hopes to lead. you can get a safe right to clean a pass. well, good luck to have. if you liked the reports or ha, something you would like to share about anything else in the show, then please write to us at eco, a. d, w dot com would love to hear what you think for now its good by for me, chris lives in nigeria. thanks for watching. don't forget to head to eco offer online for moiz, byron stories. so you, again, next time the
