the mapped out shows the geo political reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the i look over and there's a man wearing a sleeveless shirt and he's got a, a pod shirt on over it. and he rolls up his bod shirt and he shows me his swastika and his sports. and he points on divided states in the usa, a culture where his raging is a trends, right? the destructive forces, how's nature can protect us from flooding, the and invisible danger, and pollution as an occupational hazards.

the transgender writes are running topic of debates in the us. around 1600000 people in the country identify as trends. while many republican controlled states the settlement restricting trans rights, more liberal ones, such as minnesota provides a safe haven for many trans people. find the legal and medical support that often denied them elsewhere. minneapolis in the state of minnesota, in the us, the transgender people, people who don't identify with the sex they were assigned to birth or increasingly ponds in a bitter culture war, many republic and run states across the us are passing and to trans laws. the live,

the state of minnesota, meanwhile, has declared itself of legal refuge for transgender people. sam roller moved here precisely because of such protective laws. she and other trans people here wants transgender rights to be enshrined in the minnesota constitution. guilty edwards is 14 and was able to start treatment before puberty. no one sees her as a boy. now. she's a passionate activist for trends. right. legislation is running across the country the like fires. and i feel like a lot of children feel like they have no power in this kind of kind of here today just to the trans you we're here because we're trans refugees in this new place and we have an obligation to make our voices heard. sam

roller fled to minnesota from the republican state of indiana, together with their partner, katy. she had to leave her beloved home pc themselves as political refugees in their own country. sam roller feels safe here. no one stairs. so she walks by her family as run a farm in india and for 200 years, sam, herself was a farmer in a tight knit community until she came out as trends. her friends deserted her, she was laughed at, even threatened. then one day while out shopping, a truck parked up in front of her. i look over and there's a man wearing a sleeveless shirt and he's got a applied shirt on over it and he rolls up his blood shirt and he shows me his swastika and his sports. and he points out that the message to me was not settled that, you know, was the final stop, you know, we,

we just refused to live in tier. we through our hands up and we said it's time to go in minnesota trends, people are also able to access the medical care. they need to easily say critics and too young to be edward's dreams of becoming an actress. she never felt like a boy at 5. she told her parents she was a girl. oh well i always knew i was kind of a girl. i mean i was very like fun presenting that as a child. i used to wrap a blanket around my head and pretend it was my hair. but yeah, it was very early on. i was very like a very feminine just support her follow her lead. maybe she's trans and maybe not. maybe she's just considering things, but it became pretty clear,

but when she became very persistent, you know, i'm a girl, i'm not your sign. i'm your daughter to the edwards and her parents. talk to doctors early on and here in minnesota were given the support they needed healed, he was prescribed puberty blockers to prevent her voice from breaking into stop her developing facial hair careful about for some time now. she's been taking female hormones. dr. angela gifford specializes in the treatment of trans children. many republicans criticize gender affirming health care for minors, citing a need to protect them. but angela gepford believes such criticism has a political motivation. louis miners, she says, only receive reversible treatment as a common misconception that essential health care for transgender diversity. if this fast or quick or easy to obtain. and none of those things are true and there as long waits to get in, which by the nature gives more waiting time for young people. and parents to think

through decisions doesn't assessments and intake with a young person prior to making decisions like masculine rising or from amazing hormones that would have some long term impacts. and for some young people, they may pursue additional interventions beyond that, which may include surgical procedures. those are almost always done in adulthood. just the edwards wants to show your true self to the outside world. she's really that here in liberal, minnesota, she's allowed access to hormone treatment. so it's definitely feels good to just be like growing up like a normal child. and for people who don't, it's very like scary inside because they're gonna have to grow up without to see looking in the mirror and seeing themselves that is how life was for sam roller in her republican home state of indiana. anti trans laws are institutionalizing

hate. she says, and deepening the divide between democratic and republican state. you know, this division is real. you have one group that wants to fundamentally give dignity and life and opportunities to people and another group that wants to take it away. and as we enter this world, the very stark part as decisions and i just pray that we find the way out of it. many americans like sam roller and her partner katie, are moving to where they feel best, ideologically, far from united to us is becoming ever more divided the floods of the world's most common natural disaster. they expecting no certainly

coastal regions, but also river basins and come to untold damage. but nature offers a solution rivers and suppose to look like this. today, many of the most straight, narrow, deep, depleted and surrounded by concrete. that's because humans have a long history of change in griffith enter landscapes, so they can use them for farming, industry, transportation, and to this house was close to the edge. this river here is a great example of how we have mess, but our landscapes as a can see it's been straightened, regulated, and died also pods. if it's flat planes on our side, which would usually provide space for over, for, and water has been drained and filled the rivers and suck lanes in this area. so it's an important function though, across the seed is a flap sake, mocking it back and guidance and as opposed to storing so k water to one of the largest urban slept in forest and central europe. it is home to many animals and plants be sure about from the middle of the 19th century, dance and virtuous purveyors. lots for built to your right to the forest. and

during that process phone, over the course of the, in this area of a cut off, an outline drive. and all this means that can no longer supply water to deflect in forest. and that's not just happening here. around 2 thirds of the flop chains along germany 79 major rivers can no longer serve the original purpose of storing excess of water because of the dikes bitterest the border from beating them. one 3rd of the remaining slept in areas are covered by fields and houses and it's happening across europe. we're 70 to 90 percent of luck. plants has been environmental, need a great it is on the america also struggling with the pita truck plains. so why is that a problem? flux and not only important ecosystems, they also absorb and store carbon from the atmosphere, helping take a climate change. and maybe most importantly for the people who live along the rivers, they keep flesh that's uncheck. forcing into holding the functioning floodplain far as it's a very important because they keep water in the landscape longer they soak up water and provide the crucial sponge function to get some food soon. that's not to yes.

so it's a flat plane ecologist. he's been studying the role of rivers and coastal wetlands for decades. then the kind of own now i'm kind of kind of pulling that flood plains in floodplain. farmers and water flows out of the landscape very quickly. leading to large flood waves that cause a lot of damage and that cost is enormously high for society. so you can say soft in normal. that's why shots together with a seed is applied seconds, guidance. the university of flats and the environmental association novel decided to give the flux and landscape here i'm a natural face again for fits. and what about 1st and 40 years ago, we realized this floodplain far as it was, undergoing a process of expansion license. many trees developed here that were not flood resistant and which displaced the trees species typical of a flood plain virus to efficient paul mocking at the bang. oak trees like this one . and elm trees like this one doesn't die off what other specie is that a lot less people into flooding like maple sided to spread video hose. good. when the floodplain dries out, a long come to maple trees. and here's

a good example of them is it seems that they have a white look. you sat, the other species, find it difficult to compete with them. you know, not even proficient use die to complete the and then, and those other species protect us against flooding. you know, can all of a decent misty all can be exactly because those species are highly resistant to flooding because a send to even kidney will present. ready that's because those species can handle being shredded better than others. they can also handle drives better. and a 2nd most child of the size, which decreases the amount of water contribution to flesh setting events. so the research has had an idea. they thought of purposefully flooding a small area of the forest every spring for decades and watched what happened confessed, strengthen the sub deceptive. i'm wanting a face to face. we found out that that allowed the foreigners to stay moist for up to 3 months longer. even during drug periods and that this flood plain forest was able to adapt to these weather more dynamic conditions under the social species

that don't belong here, receded, leaving space and light for the tree and animal and plant species that are typical of the flood plain far all talking with your friends so i can even move cuz they literally trained the for us to be able to soak up more water again and find the opens, you know, football. so as a sense, even with flood resistant trees, if they don't experience flooding for a long time, they may forget how to cope with it or how to adapt to it in income shots, as the data they collected over 30 years, tells the story of the ecosystem going back to its natural state this was a 3 d model of a 7 have to forest area that they flooded. and so they'd for 3 decades. just look at how many red trees that were before they started flooding the area. those on typical, sometimes invasive species that are not so resilient to flaps and drought. and now look how many green these came back once they thought of setting the area. those a typical native slab to increase what type of system to flats and drops to sigma. and here you can clearly see that the maple is dying of this area,

husband under water for several weeks. and right next to it is the flood color into europe. and ash, for which it looks very healthy. so have you tied all a seat or they were surprised by how fast the force went back to its natural state once, instead of adjusting the water levels, the following sent us for us. these are nature based solutions which will help mitigate the extreme events we expect from climate change up to move on. so how exactly the flat, the area which provides ended on the end of the 1990s, the city of leipzig began reconnecting old channels systems and the flood plain like this one here, the book own box to the main watercourses so that the forest could access water again and they've multiply reconnected, the old historical channel systems that were still in place, and this ditch was partly restored by hand. and just on lights, we thought hawkish,

dead through the channel systems were connected. and then an intake structure was built in the dike, and would you fed water back into the channel systems? we thought these are things that stay and i like that they then cut out several paths of the diag on the river side so that the water can naturally overflow into the flat plane. is in it so it does off where you could buy them and we're seeing a clear and measurable rise in ground water levels even within a very short space of time. and even with such a small water body, there were a visible, measurable results as and then it was easy to get a permit for an undertaking like that light is supposed to day, it's far more complicated. there are new guidelines you regulations, which have to be followed. more evidence is needed more calculations. it's not as simple as it used to be as well as i've always online. but that didn't stop the cd from doing more, it brought together scientists and the oldest and local officials in 2018 to come up with a concept to rejuvenate the entire of something over the next 30 years. and they

just finished a fest project. they restored this to our group at here and design in a way what can overflow more naturally regularly and predictably like it did in the past before we also drove us to ham human feet. as soon as you can see here, we've moved the fields relatively far away from the edge of the far is from creating a large car. it will and which the voltage can be on the freely is all quite implies and gas. that's cool. down a fullback was responsible for revitalizing this old river bed. we hadn't even done and we have several outlets through which when the flood comes, the rising water can fly in cheap. i'm start. it flows over this very low bank, directly into the forest invitees. because this means that with the 5.5 kilometers of new boat away, which we recently finished building, we can float around $45.00 hacked as a floodplain for us several times a year to invest now months and yet that's roughly the size of 80 for football fields and that's also good news for the animals who live here. fish and various

species of insects have already settled in, but it was easy to get to this point. it's a tricky process to find the balance between flooding the forest enough and so it really runs. so just like i'm a water and not over flooding it. otherwise the water could permanently stay there like in a bath tub, which would change and tire ecosystem. and you have to consider a different interests unless you were in a big city. so there are many different views on how the forest should be used. and recreational uses, particularly important that for you instead of we flood certain areas, then some paths become inaccessible in spring. as a result, we need to explain this and provide information, so we're offer alternatives. so actually we found that there was a very high level of acceptance and that people often find very creative solutions . it's quite the same. i'm so happy right now. yeah, right. because it really was use of talking to people every day, making sure that they weren't afraid of the volts coming in

a problem and here on this investment. and it's just wonderful to see that we now have water in this small river. despite that size. i'm that has a big impact on the closer the closer vehicle. i think it's not just people using deforest, recreational purposes, who needed to be convinced about the flooding plants, locals. thomas had to be on board as well. thank you. i think you had to expropriate people without offering alternatives, bringing more watering to the landscape, doesn't mean giving up agricultural use. you just have to adapt the agricultural practices. it's like turning once arable land into a wild meadow, and then of course has to be appropriately compensated. that means instead of planting corn and grapes eat on all of their nan thomas with 10 grass in some areas and sell the hands that they would also receive a compensation payment. so that's, that's the goal for the next 10 to 15 years is to revive less more than 16 kilometers, a former arms along the river. they want to reconnect right? every buttons and internet at least 70 percent of the flux and area via the new river. so that instead of this,

the area will look like this. and here they already started turning from a farmland into effect in forest. they tended species brazilian to flooding so that future floodwaters can be sucked up by the plants like a sponge. that way, shots, as they can also get more water to stay in the ground. of course, projects like this come with a half the price tax. the city of flats already spend 6500000 years now actually funded by the gym, the state to buy the land and build new bridges and good ways for crossing the newly restored river. this the, the top of the crate will require a great deal of effort to get this project approved here in the region and by the authorities. so that the further steps can be taken to preserve the flood plain forest. and so that funding in the 10s of millions can be put in place. i said this new device, it sounds like a lot of flooding is actually the most expensive natural has it in europe with one study estimating that the river based flood risk could increase 74 to 6800000000

jurist by the end of the century. most lots you can see these are situated on functions. these other ones that are predicted to suffer a lot of got damage in the future. and the changes were made to most of our waterways, adding to the fact risk, not detracting from it. that's why you environmental ministers recently approved the contests of nature restoration law that seeks to recruit far as re what people and, and which one drove us to the natural freestone states move the child is, welcomes as each of us, extreme, like yourself. so when we consider the monetary damage that extreme events can cause to our society, and the long term effects required to address them, as it's clear that putting money into ecosystem restoration is a future proof investment invest, it's illusion to isn't so called to shop. that's why i'm one more european cities situated. in fact, plants experimenting with nature based approaches like this. and the project in lights like has become a blueprint fathers. charles has been cooperating with colleagues from

a sonia spain and portugal to share knowledge and best practices, such as how to retain water in an area as long as possible. and as a lot of other countries can learn from that success, finding the item to move than anything, it's important to get the landowners and tenants, the farmers in the forest is on board and to make decisions together with them on site. and not just with the plan, is that the drawing board waistcoat, wendy, the tool. when nature functions properly, it works for us and we can benefit from all that it offers us, then that's an insurance policy for the future. and the physician over 50 to cool, the cat pollution is a sign in kilo almost the entire global population breed said that succeeds w h o at policy limits at pollution causes 6700000 from a cio debt. so yeah,

in delhi, one of the most effective cities, women are organizing spring much needed change this is the post world landfill at about 20 to hit this. it's the 2nd largest dumpsite in the us capital, new daily. more than 200000 people live alone. it's very meat for the last 25 years came. i have lived and worked here as a waste baker. city mc. somebody got the p. r 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 house hasn't been good. ok, so i stopped going to walk as often as you give me. 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 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 worse. 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 rep as natives and conducts public hearings and social medical and environment. police who i think this is extremely important to have this kind of community level engagement because typically what happens is that, you know, people are not aware of the reason they are unwillingly. it's supposed to have enough air pollution, heat both outdoor indoor. uh. so the 1st step definitely is that, uh, you know, fitting out learners among them. and, you know, some of these, our nest programs i'm aware of are also providing some individual living, you know, a strategy to really add up to the situations. so people are more of it of the need for the strategies then looks on a she grew up in

a family of ways because it has fullest hand experience of the health problems faced by the women. things that are such as also seen in medical test. the in these b, f, this is, it sells, be fun, 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 was 6 times likely to have worse and long functions as compared to men. and because the cooking indoors and the cooking on bio biomass fluids or do we highs is equal, it looks on a and the theme audits into an environmental action and research group have set up a quality monitoring devices across the neighborhood. this has local them and lander work 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. does it get all this up to the women here? use bio mass jobs, but then be heard about the government program to provide for you guys to lenders. we looked into how to access the scheme was part of the v head that they used to do to 35 people in the calling me ok and got so the end of this gas bill idea in 2020 to the was air quality to for design debbie ford in a list of the was 15 most when you did cities, all the evolution effects everyone. walker in the informal sector suffered the most major in perspective, projects and construction sites, rely on loopy workers who have little to no protection for pollution on the job. this homes that are also in the other construction sites, so they get little respite from the pollution. that's a good little, boring, cement, always created a lot of task and it effect on them went into a mountain level. we had no choice in the the construction sector, workers here are also organizing. i'm returning to work and see for jobs. many

drugs default 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 a dilemma level for you all my goal on any with the efforts of women like fema looks odd and many may be a drop in the ocean, would be cool that with time be will help raise awareness and promote better working conditions for, for informally was indeed looking for more insights and solutions from around the world. if he wants to meet the people fighting climate, change the test on facebook, instagram, and 6. ok. the
