because life is the main, the severe storms, forest fires, record breaking heat worldwide. we are alarmed at the same time, feel powerless. international studies show that young people in particular, are very worried about climate change. what can we do about it? the threat global warming poses as not only to the environment, it's also becoming an emotional test for an entire generation that topic and more coming up on dw site and show welcome to tomorrow. today is most of the consumer wants to take part in this video because i think that
7:31 am
should be more understanding when it comes to different feelings about climate change or she didn't make a few. the 10 came up team of under get here. i'm marie, i'm 27 years old. i live in bone. and what? because the media designed on to my, my home is a handful and making music and doing creative things cleared to the ha. happened mentioned in magazines, my attendance i've always wanted to have children in but in the last few years i've reconsidered this question to the doctor. but because i wouldn't want my children to have any more affairs and worries than i or they do to ins. um, um it's an issue, see a turn, have a anger, helplessness resignation, climate anxiety can be expressed in different ways. a representative from a leading german health insurer breaks down the numbers in one's um outlook via our study of 2000 children and young people between ages 14 and 17. across
7:32 am
germany found that over 68 percent are very worried about climate change of mind. and therefore, have some form of climate anxiety of a p mountains time to study also states that the 3 most feared consequences of climate change for young people in germany include an increase in extreme weather events. the loss of habitats for animals and humans tend to rise in crises and conflicts over vital resources like drinking water. over half of the respondents expect climate change to have a negative impact on general health. for example, through expanding tropical diseases, extreme heat, stressed, or depression, the video, it's good for movie to talk to her friend honda about her climate 2 years. and then she realizes she's not the only one who feels this way. health insurance companies
7:33 am
and scientists are now taking climate anxiety seriously. stuff on hines so conducts research on climate and mental health. at the t you george mens university. he believes climate anxiety is not a disease and the same sense as an anxiety disorder. the high school smyser settings diety disorder is usually characterized by irrational, unfounded fears, and with climate anxiety. it's different the because the climate crisis is a real threat to which means that fear is in relation to the climate crisis, are rational and are also appropriate. the other the are to input the current forecasts. let's assume that we will see around $2.00 degrees celsius of warming towards the end of the century or even more. and these are drastic consequences that people born in the 2 thousands but largely still experience. it was time to fight. even the
7:34 am
honda tries to maintain a climate friendly life style. both privately and professionally. she even gave up her cafe to work full time in organic farming. the and those kinds of clinton's asia is more consistent than i am. the helps housed with money. but that also helped me with my feelings to list more climate friendly. so i agree without more shot, more conscious, the kind of let's see there, but i find it difficult to make brought to co sacrifice to see me when i'm online and see a pair of pumps. i like, i want to buy them finished. even though i know the oldest consumption is not good for the climate, does a guns of fruit from the whole flawed of news as balconies and to bubble and used to do with the climate crisis with 2 and a half. you can't help but feel responsible for it until at least to fewer on the
7:35 am
harvey. and then i ask myself, what can i do as an individual? i'm the students and do i even have an impact on how does you bob d as an impact? the, as i mentioned, you want to apply with advise people who suffer from climate anxiety to get together with others might get active together. even when you have the feeling, you can achieve something together, then it has a positive effect on the psyche of it, because then you no longer feel so powerless just now. and that's probably the feeling that affects people most a kind of despair or powerlessness 16 by interesting. so not just one foot 5, someone to almost confuse biking instead of driving. even if no the doesn't change her life as consistently as her friend. she's still trying to make her everyday activities as climate friendly as possible. she also focuses more on leisure activities than she used to. that gives her more strength to deal with her climate
7:36 am
for years. and we'll just see this video encourages lots of people to, to okay, probably about the climate fast that helped me a lot personally to talk about it. and i think that's very important because i mean if we talk about it, do we have a chance to change something together to mind them? us plan for some people with climate anxiety, it helps to plant trees and reforestation projects. others, as we just saw, choose to improve farming when it comes to climate change. cattle in particular, come in for a lot of criticism. they emit missing a powerful greenhouse gas, but can hers be made more sustainable? german researchers are trying to find out the kind of no, not the talk to in agriculture. in particular. i think we have a major role to play and ensuring that we work sustainable. a cattle at this farm
7:37 am
and central germany have been to can part in a research project for a year and a half now run by agriculture or scientists from the university of decent. daisy, nope, is a meat say an expert. every day she measures what the cows eat, how much milk that get, and how much gas say a minute. she doesn't take measurements at the cal's rear, for that it's front to happen. duff here. and then we've installed a hose here with a device that picks it up automatically because 80 to 90 percent of methane emissions from the cows come from the room. and when it choose its car tower. and that's why we installed this device here at the feed trough. study of the team includes agronomist, biologists and environmental researchers funded by the state government. the green dairy project is set to run for 4 years fits focus is sustainable. dairy farming
7:38 am
and the industries impact on climate. the researchers have divided the cattle into groups being given different feats. the project is one of a kind in europe we have. uh, yeah, we have 2 separate herds here that are sad and manage different layouts. we have no goals. we all, we also collect mon, newer opportunities, and of course, the end product milk hopkins, separate especially allocated tanks on that's in order to ultimately see a system effect. and this team effects was in high input. cows are set a lot of concentrates and mays that the plates, the soil, but they produce a lot of milk. low in foot couches the grass hay and alfalfa, a seed crop that helps protect the soils. so that's a diet that produces less milk. this facility has been a teaching farm at the university of geese and since the 19 ninety's cereals,
7:39 am
beans and feed crops are grown on the fields in an 8 year crop rotation plan. the researchers regularly take soil samples and measuring nitrogen content to determine which plants are good for the ground. alfalfa is a kind of super plant by the poor because it can bind 3 to 400 kilograms of atmosphere at nitrogen per year per healthcare, which is then also available to subsequent crops. it has very deep roots and continues to grow well, even in try periods when there's no rain for 3 or 4 weeks. it's him on a food trucks and a few fields of way. francisco sean is investigating the concentration of greenhouse gases. c, o 2 me thing, and nitrous oxide, the fields were fertilized with mon, newer from the 2 different herds. this is where the research comes full circle each message. so i am a 1st and foremost on measuring how different the gases are that formed in the soil
7:40 am
. that's mainly dependent on the micro biome, bennett, a desk. and that can be influenced by how the fields are fertilized or which plants are cultivated. those, of course, i'm interested in which system is best for the environment to is thus us with your own. but i'm best back in the bar in some cows and naturally produced less methane than others. researchers could use that knowledge to help re a more climate friendly cow for the future. it cannot be metonymy, so we can't stop methane emissions and ruminants like how is produced them naturally. but we can reduce emissions by employing feeding strategies or methods of genetic selection. you didn't 1010, so the goal is research on data analysis. once a day, the test subjects get, that's good. awesome, i have my test area out here in the room. we're working there at least 2 cows watching us the whole time. every step we take, it's kind of nice to say,
7:41 am
we should have been good for the animals had the research there's. it's still too early to publish any results from the project, but the approaches it's exploring could prove ground breaking for the agriculture of the future. but climate change has already arrived. that's why farming should not only be made more climate friendly in the future, but also more robust. now, for instance, by developing food plants that need less water and can tolerate more sun and crops that need fewer pesticides, even if some harmful insects benefit from changing klonopin for reducing chemical pesticides and climate change on both of those 2 factors. however, pesticide reduction and climate change lead to increased pressure from pathogens and front passenger seat. but precisely these past researchers how could help prevent crops from looking like this in the future. since the aim is debris,
7:42 am
plants that are resistant to the insects, they use tests from their insects who to test some. the research is growing an important sense. some effective insecticides have already been banned. and for good reason. back in 2018, for example, the you band, the practice of treating seeds with neo nika. to know it's there, insecticides that penetrate the entire plant and reliably kill or injure insects that feed on it. but they unfortunately kill beneficial ones too. as the insecticide also gets into pollen and nectar, tends to bam. pesticide use in the e. u was supposed to be greatly limited by 2030 anyway. that time table has been moved back, but plant breeders are trying to adapt now. they have to pay attention to many factors for their past feeding and reproduction, behavior,
7:43 am
or the influence of warmer temperatures due to climate change. many insect pests thrive in warm weather. he fits benefit for instance, despite their minuscule size, the tiny past. suppose a huge problem or females can reproduce a sexual a, which means populations can explode in the right conditions. if it's basically give birth to clone, it's saving themselves the trouble of finding a partner. copulation, and fertile ization. these all spring, also reproduced quickly within 7 short weeks, a single leaf it can give rise to a 1000000 of them. and that's not all. this is i'm, but this is a pest worldwide that can transmit different types of viruses on many different plants and also seen movies on sugar, be farmers fury yellowing on the plants leaves caused by viruses. then the root remains small, causing yields to plummet. just one of the problems that cast include the entire
7:44 am
team are trying to tackle. to do so they have to grow a fits on diseased plants. the fits absorb the virus and can then pass it along to other sugar beats. we collect to them by brushing them off very carefully so their mouth parts aren't damaged. then we try to determine whether the plant varieties we have are resistant or not. but how do breeders find resistant plants? many turn to old varieties. one gets a florida from an asthma. the 1st step is to replant wild feeds and old varieties in the field. and then you see if you can detect and traits and these old and wild varieties that are important for resistance to insects or viruses, then you take those and cross them with high performance varieties on quotes. and then hopefully i some sort of wild varieties fall from protect themselves with
7:45 am
natural chemical repellents, they simply don't taste good to the insects or might even harm them. cultivated plants usually have fewer of these natural defenses, since they've mainly been bred to improve yield at the expense of resistance. and that benefits the pass. this little insect likes this hybrid, but cabbage stem fleet beetles don't. by tapping into old varieties breeders, they've succeeded in developing rapes, the plans that are significantly less susceptible to test. the sugar beats also have improved natural defenses and are better at fighting off the yellow wills transmitted by a sense, the 1st variety to do so. but despite some successes, this type of reading research won't solve every problem is it looks you will have allusion, never sleeps, insects and pests are constantly evolving new ways to overcome plant resistance to
7:46 am
cause more precise development of varieties for different locations and claim at a conditions is therefore playing and increasingly important role in agriculture and the healthy or the plant, the better it can protect itself without human health. from beatles and other costs . international teams of research are analyzing genomes of plants all over the world. the goal is to create a family tree of all 330000 known flowering plants. they hope the project will help us counteract the ongoing loss of biodiversity. one thing they've learned along the way plants are much more complex than we thought. when the sun is burning down on a scorching day, they can't seek shade court ship displays if they're ready to reproduce point once
7:47 am
. and when snails are caterpillar's come to feed on their leaves, plants can't run away. despite those limitations, green and growing things still actively communicate with their environment according to causing sleep. ok? the biologist studies the secret lives of plants thus finding on sons. the interesting thing about plants is that they can do the same things we can, but in a very different way. these interactions takes place on a chemical level. and in order to observe them, you have to look or smell very closely or carry out complex experiments. and it's mysterious kind of sleep. i says that although at 1st glance they appear pretty helpless against past plants have evolved ways to cope with them. this southern european spa burge, for instance, deploy, is a kind of chemical weapons in a targeted way. when it's an exact quote, and if an insect starts chewing on the plant,
7:48 am
it releases this milky south that sticks to the insect smells parts and then it can no longer feed on the plan and kinda push mountain. yep. and if the milky sap is exuded in large quantities, it can even coat the insects body and it's suffocated pretty bad. i'm trying to set up 2 flights to stick it. the plants are clever and their own way, says the biologist. they're just very different than those humans in order to reproduce. for example, a plant doesn't have to attract another plant, but an effective pollinate or do you want me to use. and so the guy set by plant draws the interest of bumblebees, and these by sending out lots of different signals, suggesting that the food is here. these signals include the shape and color of the flowers, but above all their sense, as all so when you smell his flower or bunch of flowers, they smell very pleasant. this, even to me, i used to say,
7:49 am
i need an email from me. a flower sun can contain up to a 100 different individual components, making it more complex than any perfume. the european black alder provides another example of the smart ways that plants protect themselves. it produces bitter compounds to fight off tests and can judge how much dangerous in boy man couldn't. the trees can communicate to other trees that there is an enemy nearby, so they can talk to each other, but they don't do it the way we humans do not via words and sounds, but via chemical substances. tons and plants can learn, even if they don't have nervous systems. you can discover more about their behaviors in your own garden. you can also experience birds in your own garden, but there are fewer and fewer in europe. according to a study published in mid 2023 numbers of them on the continent have fallen by
7:50 am
a quarter since 1980. which species have survived. and where are they taking refuge or research or in germany has developed a technology that uses a i to reliably identified count and map bird species or what's that tripping? every year. nature lovers, head for gardens, parks, and cemeteries to count 3rd species in germany. a nation wide list is organized by the conservation association. novel ornithologist found kately regularly joins the amateur bird. watchers good reason because even if we know that bird populations are declining on over the last 40 years, they've been fewer and fewer of them around. and that's very worrying. so we of course want to know why and where which birds appear. so in this respect,
7:51 am
bird watching is very important, especially in terms of climate change and its consequences. and the obviously is this a cleanser at mark norma and also want to counterparts, but to do so precisely and comprehensively with help from artificial intelligence to do so, they use this small box which contains a microphone, a microcontroller, and a memory card. no, i'm on through studies, computer engineering at the university of thom stats, develop the technology because it burg map or the assistant r e as in the country. it's an a i that listens to bird song. it runs on an audio file, which means all the data from a recording is saved and analyzed afterwards. it looks at all the recorded sounds and can decide which species is singing, where even if several are singing at the same time and what was inc would open the 4 wheel drive site. the same for the test phase. no man has programmed the bird map
7:52 am
or with calls from the 20 most common bird species found in germany. but soon the system will be able to recognize all $300.00 or so that are found in the country. the dam see the up and the many species aren't counted enough because there are just too few people counting during these periods only. that's the case with all those, for example, which are not turned on. so they hardly any bird exports map at night and dream don't think that's exactly where bird map or a can bring big benefits because they can always listen and map on the day and night and a month. no, i'm on when a university competition with his idea and also received 30000 euro is from an a i funding program to develop it. in addition to protecting nature and bio diversity, he thinks has started up, has great economic potential vending like a board of all when we build new building us power lines are trans. we 1st have to check whether any endangered bird species are there. if there are measures have to
7:53 am
be taken to protect from others, in doubt, you can't bill. and this is the best argument for bird map around because it's time consuming and costly to mount airy is individually on foot items. even bird map or can take a lot of the work out of that process often. let's look up to you in here kind of even talking about few i name. however, the engineer 1st has to train, has a i to recognize bird calls using the audio data collected by the box. he creates a kind of spectral ground for each bird, for the email, because if for the a i, it makes sense to throw out all the top sequences, especially for the region hoopa because they don't interest us background noise is also a relevant. and so all the, the hoop or renee is it kind of do feel as i was all these levels are still high. and of course we don't want to have that in there either. so we can try to remove that too. so we'll get this to me and tell me there's
7:54 am
also a pigeon. you can still hear it pretty well. hey, i needs 2 to 3 days of training for each species with data. from many networked board mappers researchers will be able to judge bird populations and laws much more accurately in the future. it's a valuable tool for a conservation society novel, but bird watchers will also always play roles suitable bucking knock 50 bird watching is a lot of fun on the day. most people enjoy it and it for just a bond between humans, birds and nature. and of course, it also produces data that we can use for conservation can for me, didn't get, i'm not too sure. i can can data is key, but counting bars is not the same as protecting time. if technology tells us species are dwindling, policy makers will also have to take steps to stop it. that's
