1:30 am
in dreams coming through, making money. having a son with non falls injunction stops. december 13th on d. 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 off for the impulse to what's the best uh, most, sustainable future. one that's better for everyone. i'm chris, atlanta, lagos, nigeria. great to have you with us. and here's what's coming up. protecting disabled communities from both of the big ex they was a bringing life back to gym as far as the woodlands,
1:31 am
rethinking foundations, as boston change in gone. uh we thoughts the sho in mozambique as we know by now, extreme web 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 dent, uh done most a cycle any day he to most of beaks costing much 2019 bucking means of a 200 kilometers an hour. and then the regular lives in beta, which to come direct. each of whom i tend to like a show of what some windows were flying off. we tried to hold them down,
1:32 am
it's ropes, but some stupid few away like the blue of 2 in the 4th. it was one of the wafts tropical and site gloves ever recorded enough. the gun was a beacon, watched through my utility and crises over 1500 people died. menu of the victims. why people with disabilities like helena, who had phoned you as a child for her family support was vital to 50 this losing if i was alone, i don't know what to have 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 spring. 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. no size to the life to got them full days. our streets were all
1:33 am
flooded and filled with stones. metal seats from roofs 3 trunks. that road was full of rob. so there was no way to get me out of the house with a wheelchair. i don't think i'm going me through that they give you guys it would have been in a box and i'll save you up to see to this day. and then this house to be has been months of cycle any day after the tragedy she up to become a specialist, the inclusive design preparedness. now she works as a facilitator for an in jewel. it's a job that's growing import as globally, or is the planet ones. these us that's like cycling it died. we become more intense and more frequent. the most vulnerable in society, often so far the most in these climate disasters. people with disabilities are up to 4 times more likely to die. you know, 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.
1:34 am
i'm the as to meet the past. we are expecting many other series and contribution and rich the outcome of discussions, planning, implementation and development arena, bringing this to memorize issues and defend r u n. so it'd be less, dea shows that possibly 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 form with them 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 us we have
1:35 am
coming to introduce solutions. we also have door to door information, drawing stuff, part of the national money. that's the main thing was in the bump, let's being even though team the communities do food added in this family, that's 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 community is to provide training on monday, aging disability and preparing for extreme with up if another cycle and need some mozambique simple yet to bite on the 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 statements 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
1:36 am
because of your reading, your impressions, tiguan and discrimination. sometimes persons, it's a bit to have dinner. somebody told one of us 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 sus passes of sub but it sees, i 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 cycled,
1:37 am
i need a heat. we on, we can, it's about the people with disabilities what being left behind the emergency response that we sold. but there was an issue in the system that the known by some families up way out. i'm was even lucky enough just to provide one of supports 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 then some of the committees of being set up in local communities. the on how about to least one member with disability for them, but we are part of the society. so that needs to be inclusion in every sense in both to see the same. do you feel that talking it's easier for them to remember.
1:38 am
this is last who is living, but that is the noise. it's 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 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 fast around the world. woodlands 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 wetlands in the making and that takes heavy equipment,
1:39 am
a lot of hard work and even more time, the forest of the will, mountains and southeast in 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, a 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 projects which aims to which drain for his pete lands across the whole mountain region. the section a visit to him, son is wetlands was trained intensively 200 years ago using a comprehensive system of drainage channels. they put a lot of work into draining the land back then salute. so now we have to put
1:40 am
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 up to become drawing these channels . criss cross 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 ac heck to the bulk in the old mountains. that's not traditional impulse, that's just a fraction of a regional wetland areas in the mountains most to be 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 lasers scanners which also check the impact of increasing so moisture on the ones in the us. we want trees to dial to to the wet conditions specified in the
1:41 am
best case scenario. some of these brightly colored trees here will disappear over time, leaving far more open areas of advice. 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 makes a wetlands into a whitland for small. it's in the mama. so does that help the environment to, to in the heart of the forest researches from the tune in the institute of
1:42 am
measuring the type in amount of guesses being emitted by the re what 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 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 quoting 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, is when you get this, i would never have thought that we would have a problem with water shortages in the old mountains on saxony. yes. about 20 percent of its drinking water from the region we close us with infect 60 percent of
1:43 am
the forest is a drinking water protected area. and so the restoration of bulk, sonya is very important to us between the 2 fields, 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 off the hills, and the areas remain dry. restoring a wetland to its original size is a very drawing out business that will be different us. i'm interested in an i enjoying requesting open areas of water, a full like here in this for my people that are looking at that type of a time. it will start to close out, please. and in the final stages of inspect, the most is will be able to call in always 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. i'm pulled him. know
1:44 am
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 shaped 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 kids. 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 harvest start getting smaller. yeah,
1:45 am
you the rain maker, however, still relies on all rituals. then the 2 bedroom is the item that we're keeping the tradition of our forefathers newton. 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 you're good, 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 rainy 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 is more personal. 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
1:46 am
organization or not know for short. and then moving forward, a kid has a have a form of this group. so it will to talk to our chief and the others. and that's important to us, so to see what would be in the photos to do so that the funding will induce. how would we see then this? yeah, well, how to weigh mazda a meet, i will from that event. so that you went off, i'm clearly over at the funding would reduce growing crops to close to the river bed has negative consequences for the environment. scientists to mourn, wendy, if i'm close to what top would use the size of the what would you begin to reduce then also the machines takes place that you have the position of sealed into that debate. rainfall is also affected by rampant deforestation. when harvests fail,
1:47 am
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 buyers, a recurring theme. people set them during the dry season to make it easier to hunt game. i don't know what's wrong with the going down there about my or outbreak. when we met, we go to put it out and investigate the car for us instead of if someone deliberately sent the fire, the person has done that before the elders. and finally getting that um, oh i see keeping a good environment today. just the best way to enjoy your lives. yeah. okay. so you would like to to the campaign or is raise awareness among villagers? laptop. yeah, i know we are prepared for that and we've been getting fewer reins and recent years, and instance, severe storms that destroying our homes. that's why i believe the young people,
1:48 am
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 guys yeah. fucking down as we started doing, mal phone cuts in that phase $4.00 to $5.00 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 files out for for find out for the local organizations,
1:49 am
project managers regularly visit non uri 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. one call me if you have, that's fine, we come on each climate change. it's all about the efforts together that will show that out environment is safe for us and for future generations. this also includes regularly collecting plastic that would otherwise be blown around by the wind. such use for gates 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 it has 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
1:50 am
inadequate refrigeration in the supply chain. with 10, yes, abundance so shine solar power equipment, good health to receive the countries health care, any quality. who felt that solar power could lead to greater health equity take this will bio clinic in kenya. all it's equipment to be solar power. so it concerns people for a regular cleaning is too far away. all this box which can transport from it says to healthcare 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 accusing up to be examined. that's because here in boone go, my region, the nearest regular clinic is 20 kilometers
1:51 am
a week. i'm not small viewing your attraction to deal with them. and i've come here for breast cancer screening and the post to syrian checkup. i am here because the health care is free. if had gone to a normal hospital, they would have charged me. and if we didn't, but the say this is inside mammograms, i perform behind the curtain, the mobile clinics machine. so oh, so that part, 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. risk financed by the canyon government and international partnerships or whatever to reach by 16000 people were always good for a potential and the diabetes for the women. cuz that's kind of what able to do is i don't about 3000 women whom we've been for the survey quite on breast cancer. and
1:52 am
why then 2000 men who screen for breast cancer. but the small island of freedom d t, in the canyon part of lake victoria is impossible to reach even further move by a clinic or the population of our own size 1000 lives mainly on fiction. ring d t is not connected to kenya's national power and great power from the local solar company is unreliable. none the less little blessing is about to get vaccinated against this area. separate types is we and broke the virus, the health clinic or ring eats kind of keep its vaccines refrigerated despite paul cups. it's so cold box, the books can keep jobs for up to 3 days. think sweets battery now, so 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 t h. and that is the reason why we must have quotes in equipment. the vaccine for
1:53 am
blessing has had quite to journey to get to her once a month headedness cause male maureen, such as vaccines and other mid 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 canyon capital and economic home night will be. this is wed drop access spaced, the manufacturer of the miniature fridge. the effects of books can be operated on charged using either solar power or means electricity to talk other batteries. the box of books was invented by nora mcgill, the 1st canyon woman to win the you case, africa price for engineering innovation. it was
1:54 am
a personal experience that to inspire try to come up with a solution i faced some kind of just trying to get to meet with a representative. because i go to the clinic and i'm finding the book 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 bring gipsy, thanks to 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 additional, when in a month, because we didn't have any quotes and the group went very close to our lives. so we
1:55 am
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 how we are able now to do. i mean, there's a chance 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 eco, a. d, w dot com. you can also find moist byron stories by searching for a co oper. got online. thanks for watching for now. it's good bye for me, chris. the legs in lagos, nigeria sees it, or the
