the present feelings about what's going on in the story. instead of being discussed across the continent, dw news, africa every friday on the w, the it takes resilience and cooperation to tackle the challenges of the modem. well, what does fruit technology practitioner knowledge, or share determination? people are for the impulse to it's a back to most sustainable future. one that's better for everyone. i'm chris, atlanta, lagos, nigeria, chris to have you with us. and here's what's coming up. protecting disabled communities from both on a big x ray with a bringing life back to gym as far as the woodlands,

rethinking foundations as parking change and gone up with thoughts. the sho, in mozambique, as we know by now, extreme with the events are becoming more come on around the world and will sound big is a country that faces some of the worst consequences even though it best, almost no blame for climate change. with over 2500 kilometers of costs per line, it's highly vulnerable to psych loons. when disaster strikes, it's disabled committees are even greater danger than most psych lanita i hate most of beaks close the march. 2019 baki means of a 200 kilometers an hour. helena de regallix in beta, which to come direct to each of whom i tend to like a show of what some windows were flying off. we try to hold them down, it's ropes,

but some students you await the review of to the 4th. it was one of the waft tropical site gloves, have a recorded enough week on what 7 weeks was to monday, tv and crisis. over 1500 people died. menu of the victims, why people with disabilities like atlanta, who had phoned you as a child for her family support was vital 50. this was reading. if i was alone, i don't know what tooth of up and then why 11. the 1st thing talk to us source was that when you have lots of people together, you don't feel so afraid on your own. you think i'm going to die. but there was so many of us and we had shut it uh, we kept talking and the linux brig. luckily, the living room of the house, it's to the wings and give protection to the family. and then that was tucked there for 3 weeks. and also i used to live life to get them full of dice. our streets

were all flooded and filled with stones. metal seats from roofs 3 trunks closes. that road was full of rob. so there was no way to get me out of the house with a wheelchair. i don't see them putting me through that. they give you guys, it would have been the mailbox and i'll save you up to see to these d helena's house to be as the mux of sec, let me die after the tragedy she up to, to become a specialist. the inclusive disaster preparedness now she works as a facilitator for an end jewel. it's a job that's growing in importance globally, or is the planet ones. these us that's like cycling e died. we become more intense and more frequent. the most vulnerable in society often suffer the most in these climate disasters. people with disabilities are up to 4 times more likely today, and i'm not generally disaster. so the united nation sees the must be involved in prevention. we understand the situation of all of our live experiences cannot be

i'm the as to me. but apart from past, we are expecting many other areas and contribution and rich the outcome of discussions planning. as i mentation and development arena, bringing this to my rise issues and descent. are you in south velocity of showed us make it as broadly progressing, disability inclusion during these as 84 percent of people with disabilities was white. so you'd be, i'm not prepared for disasters in such events. and the warnings kind of give people the time to prepare. hopefully, this can save many lice, but information needs to be distributed the next, the single formats in through multiple chart notes. in each country, there are very different ways of reaching people with disabilities in mozambique, for example. a variety of methods have been, you've seen cycles on the day that much told us about so many that as we have

coming to introduce solutions, we also have door to door information, dried support of the national many that's the main thing was in the bump. let's being given though to the community do food added into this family that it the most . and we also walk with associations, which is a key area. you're wonderful them in this bundle for letting us walk. she visits communities to provide training on monday, aging disability and preparing for extreme web. if another cycling needs mozambique simple yet vital instruction, it's like where to get information on where to seek shelter would make the difference between life and death. but i walk is also about getting to know these communities, not knowing the size and characteristics of the dissembled. ignition is a big problem that you witness the minutes that one in 6 people have some form of disability. but without quality information, it's impossible to prepare for a disaster. how we are collecting such data can be complicated

because of your reading, your impressions and discrimination. sometimes persons, it's a bit to have somebody build 1 august to know that as we are now together with organization as a person, disability encouraging space to ensure that in every survey. in everett, some fifths pastors of some abilities are included. this is a cycle and simulation exercise, so good, nice by your thirties and things. your thing was on beek. one of the objectives is to teach emergency responders to recognize the needs of disabled people. sometimes they get sent to hosp thoughts instead of showed us, for example, because people just kind of time their condition does a, i'm just forget the full care we develop this project because when say,

cuz i need a heat, we on, we can, it's about the people with disabilities what being left behind the emergency response. as we saw that there was an issue in the system that the known body shop and most of the way out i'm was even lucky enough just to provide one of the parts . when we see a phenomenon like these, we need to train those institutions, but someone needs not to have these as a stuff on the disaster. disaster response must be inclusive and take into account the needs of people with different types of disabilities. the best way to do about is to listen to them. so risk and the system and measurement committees have been set up in local communities. they all have a can least one member with disability for them. but we are part of the society. so there needs to be inclusion in every sense in both to same team. same. do you feel that talking? it's easier for them to remember. this is last is age limit, but that is the noise,

like a shout saying that we are here. take some taking the inclusion of people with disabilities in risk of the system and they've been tested by what to save lives. it also shows us the huge potential that we can lease when we remove battery as an create opportunities. now we had to you rope add to gem is wetlands. these landscapes have been disappear in spots around the world. with loans may only cover a small fraction of the products compared to forest, but they are far more efficient at storing corbin, a pay. they are in project age to bring gym, this forested woodlands back to life, restoring them as possible. carbon sinks of vibrant biodiversity evans. this is a wetland in the making and that takes heavy equipment,

a lot of hard work and even more time the forest of the will, mountains, in southeast and germany, used to be full of peat folks. almost overtrained to plant fast growing spruce during the mining boom. now we'll come back, has planned wetlands helped to preserve by a diversity cope with climate change and managed water supplies across the region. forestry authorities are willing to go to great lens to keep or to hear this. i know that some battery i made from lodge intended to download to and help restore the wetland romeoville in the coordinates the project, which aims to which drain for his pete lands across the whole mountain region section. a visit to him, son is whitland, was drained, intensively 200 years ago using a comprehensive system of drainage channels. um that they put a lot of work into draining the land back then. so the, so now we have to put

a lot of work into blocking the dates you assigned to re went the area. then we'd have to do some of these special before we done us to become drawing these channels . chris across the area, forest wetlands, tend to be on the small side of the $5.00 to $6.00 heck to as an area. it's initially planned to restore some 80 heck to the bulk in the mountains. that's not traditional impulse, that's just a fraction of a regional wetland areas in the mountains. most have been drained and have to be revitalized, because we're talking about 60 square kilometers in total. on the surface describe, talk to them. you're telling me the team frequently flies drones over the wetland areas to monitor the projects progress and document any new water bodies developing in the forest. the different vegetation types are recorded by laser scanners, which also check the impact of increasing so a moisture on the ones in the us. we want trees to dial due to the wet conditions

specified in the best case scenario. some of these brightly colored trees here will disappear over time, leaving final open areas of ohio. so nearby we can see what it could look like in the future. over a year ago, drainage ditch is here with them. and now the water is 10 centimeters below the surface. the 1st results are promising. a is a 12 most of these is just the spiking, the most sensitive calling noise. this area started growling this. yeah. because it's wet enough here now old place and forces them precisely what we want. nothing douglas can. oh do you, do you feel humble? you can see that they don't rocked entirely under water public. and it's precisely that process of incomplete decomposition, the which forms peter and make to wetlands into a whitland by so small it's in the mama. so does that help the environment to, to in the heart of the forest researches from the tune and institute of measuring

the type in amount of guesses being emitted by the re, with these areas they're trying to gauge the effective, expanding wetlands and thoughts on since why come off you up with in germany, 2.4 percent of forest a made up of what bands. of course, it's a small area, but you have to remember that we have pete books that go 10 meters down below ground when men and they store huge quantities of c o 2. that vital copland sinks that we need to protect the quote and stuff by a dentist to shoot some good. the climate change is also affecting the forest of the old mountains forestry manager. you had his veto. i've been working here for decades and he knows how important the area is. here it is when you get this. i would never have thought that we would have a problem with water shortages in the old mountains on site. somebody gets about 20 percent of its drinking water from the region because the wife infect 60 percent of

the forest is a drinking water protected area. and so the restoration of bulk sonya is very important to us as fluids. water shortages also slowing down the requesting process . the old mountains forest pete lands depends largely on rain full. if it doesn't rain, much water doesn't run down of the hills and the areas remain dry. restoring a wetland to its original size is a very drawing out business that will be different to some interest in an ensuring requesting open areas of water. a full like here in this form of people that will commit that type over time. it will start to close out, please, and in the final stages of inspect, the most is will be able to call a noise. the area again on the people will start to grow at the rate of about one millimeter a year. that's the sum it will take about a few 1000 years before the people really expand. that's a problem in a time of accelerating climate change on the team of under pulled him know when he

is lifting about, put them off. the roof, plenty of drained areas on that to do list. it will take generations before the forest lands and the old mountains can fulfill that potential. as a bio, diverse habitats walter, reservoir and cob, and sink back to africa. ed tagano, we had deep rooted superstitions shape believes, especially in rural areas. some people think bad behavior influences the weather and that's only by placing this period god's will things improve. now this, the leaves are not grounded in science, which is why a team of young people is looking to transfer them to, to youths. they all want the same thing to do something about climate change. the disaster youth brigade is challenging traditions in their community of non gary because the dry seasons are lasting longer and the harvests are getting smaller.

the rainmaker however, still relies on all rituals they need to buy the we're keeping the tradition of our forefathers on it. and whenever there is a drought, we need to perform sacrifices to our ancestors. that's what they were doing to get abundant food and rain go down if you don't perform these rise, if it won't rain properly. we agenda which are not done, boise, and due to human induced climate change weather extremes, are also becoming noticeably stronger here in northeastern. gone to the normal range seasons are failing to occur replaced by sand storms or torrential downpours in the non neary community. more and more farmers have planted their fields right up to the banks of the river where the land does more for tile. but during the heavy rains, the river overflows its banks and crops are often lost. this is why the youth brigade marks out the river bank areas that are not to be planted. the young people are volunteers who have been trained by the national disaster management

organization or not know for short. and then when we play to keep task a have a form of this group. so it will to, to, to our chief and the others. and that's important to us, so to see what was the in the f, what was to do so that if i didn't reduce how it was, see then this? yeah, well, how to weigh mazda a meet? i will phone daddy, so that you went off. i'm go to the bar at the 5 deal with reduce growing crops to as to the river bed has negative consequences for the environment. scientists to more than one day from close to what top would use the size of the what would it begins to reduce then also the machines takes place and you have the position of sealants into that debate. rainfall is also affected by ramping deforestation. when harvests fail,

the sale of firewood and charcoal is the only alternative source of income. then the villagers cut down even more trim, a vicious cycle. because the fewer the trees, the less it rains. the volunteers, if we're getting, discuss all these issues with the villagers. bush fires a recurring theme. people set them during the dry season to make it easier to hunt game video. and if i swung the going down, there was all my or outbreak. literally we go to put it out and investigate the car for us instead of if someone deliberately sent the fire the person as somebody before the elders. and finally getting that um, oh i see keeping a good environment. they just the best way to enjoy your lives. yeah. okay. so we would like to to the campaign or is raising awareness among villagers? laptop. yeah, i know we are prepared for that and we've been getting fewer rains in recent years, and it's been severe storms that destroying our homes. that's why i believe the

young people, if they tell us to plant trees instead of cutting them down, it's better than our own practices or so my island ushio is proud that his messages are being heard of the villagers used to regularly cut down trees here. the landscape was bare until they started re for a sting 3 years ago. the villagers no only take individual branches for firewood. instead of cutting down the whole 3, the youth brigade receive support from both national and international sponsors. together with the villagers, they weren't able to plant 5 more hectares of acacia trees new. they gotcha buck land as we started doing, mel phone cuts in the trays for fire file if i would, and also a brand new chuckle. so we, we, we brought that this guys, yeah. for the next 3 years or 3 years coming. ok, they're gonna get filed for to find out for the local organizations,

project managers regularly visit, non you're a to find out how things are going. they also give tips on how the villagers can protect themselves from storms or floods, such as plant more indigenous trees to create when brakes. after 3 years, the program manager makes an initial assessment. welcome. if you have a time become one each climate change, it's all about the efforts together that will show that out environment is safe for us and for future eisen generations. this also includes regularly collecting plastic that would otherwise be blown around by the wind. such use brigades now exist in 5 communities, the northeastern gonna 20 volunteers are always active. they're taking the many small steps together with the villagers to at least counter act. anthropogenic climate change on a local level. we have now to can. yeah. wherever real communities often face tough challenges and accessing reliable medical care box and say 4 to 5000000 lives every year worldwide. yeah. so huge amount goes to ways because of

inadequate refrigeration in the supply chain with 10. yes. abundance, sunshine, solar power equipment, good health to receive the countries health care, any quality who just felt that solar power could lead to greater health agreed to take the smooth bio clinic in kenya. all it's equipment to be solar power. so it concerns people for the irregular clinic is too far away all this box which can transport matrices to health care providers in remote regions and still keep them refrigerated to examples of how green innovations are revolutionize in health care. in rural kenya, the mobile clinic has a right people, a queuing up to be examined. that's because here in google, my region, the nearest regular clinic is 20 kilometers

a week. i'm not small viewing the attraction to deal with them. i have come here for breast cancer screening and the post to syrian check up. i am here because the health care is free. if had gone to a normal hospital, they would have charged me again, but the site is inside mammograms. i performed behind to correcting the mobile clinics machine so oh, so that powered including the air condition. it's this autonomous power supply that makes it possible to provide services out in the field. the truck is provided by the n g u m, re financed by the canyon government and international partnerships. we're able to reach about 15000 people. we always good for the nation and the diabetes. for the women cause us clinic. we're able to reach around about 3000 women whom we've

been for the survey quite on breast cancer and more than 2000 men who most good for breast cancer book, the small island of freedom d t. in the canyon part of lake victoria is impossible to reach even to move by a clinic of the population of our own size 1000 lives, mainly on fiction ring. due to is not connected to kenya's national power and great power from the local solar company is unreliable. non the less need to bless, thing is about to get vaccinated against the area. separate types is we and broke the virus, the health clinic or ring due to kind of keep its vaccines refrigerated despite paul cups. it's so cold bucks the books can keep jobs for up to 3 days. think sweet spot, you know, for that plugs into stay portent. it's as to be kept at the temp, it's all positive to and supposed to do between positive 10 percent of age. and that is the reason why we must have quotes in equipment. the vaccine for blessing

has had quite a journey to get to her. once a month headedness caused male melinda such as vaccines and other med scenes from neighboring island, from gardner, the full hour round trip. deluxe books is crucial and keeping but nothing looms cold. during the long trip. we switch now to the kingdom capital and economic home night will be. this is where dropbox is spaced, the manufacturer of the miniature fridge. the effects of books can be operated on charged using either solar power or means electricity. i to talk other batteries. the vaccine books was invented by nora mcgill, the 1st canyon woman to win the you case, africa price for engineering innovation. it was

a personal experience that to inspire try to come up with a solution. i faced some kind of just trying to get to my books and to because i go to the clinic and i find that the books since they're not available, especially after these the husband, very little blackouts. so i decided to seek a solution that will help them with the slick myself. just have boxes for the change whenever they needed it, back to the clinic on the island of frame. do you think so the vaccines from the mini fridge, little blessing can finally be vaccinated a few months ago, this would not have been possible. might least this is the 1st time i can say this service is a good from being quiet in advance and were able to get the vaccines here. it would have been stressful otherwise, because the nearest hospital isn't in a b to which is quite fun. i used to be when the admissions went in a month because we didn't have any quotes and the group went very close to our

lives. so we just assemble them of us on one particular they do the immunization. and that since we got the lexi books, we were able to now keep our lives in. yeah. and we were able to do, we are able now to do, i mean, is this jumps on a daily basis since 20 to 20, to one stainless steel boxes like this one, have delivered over 1000000 vaccines for humans and even a lifestyle. they've insured regular vaccinations for $250000.00 children under the age of 5. that's all we have for you today would love to hear your thoughts on the show. so please do get in touch at echo at the www dot com. you can also find moist byron stories by searching for a co op or get online. thanks for watching. for now it's good bye for me. chris lives in lagos. nigeria sees it the, the

losing place. he basically like aware of frustration, the small step towards a very big dream. putting an astronaut on mars. and while there's still a long way to go, these researchers and mentors carrier sites fixed on a cheese nation. mars in 75 minutes on d w. the, the only way i can be on the top

is to create my own. and i just got the stories just to click away the during the destination, right. sign this document trees before slide. now. okay, name treat this as he is hungry for the future. so i'm saying in southwest china 32000000 people live here. many of them are young, but my parents wanted me to become a civil servant, but i didn't like the idea of getting such an old fashioned job and being stuff making money, having fun with not fulls and something on the double you

the, the

old we can be the generation, the ends that feel good. malaria must die. so millions can live the business day. the news life from above the syrian rebels push south towards a key city of homes. government forces scrambled to slow the advance as the insurgents comfortable towns and territory. and that quest of tumbled presidents as also on the program for mainly as top costs a knows the results of the 1st round of the country presidential election. governments accused as moscow of meddling after a surprise when for a pro, kremlin kansas impeachment looms for south korea and present to you. and so we all laughed in attempt to impose motion low and.
