to see if this slide spread races, depression, today, the screen we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism. 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 it's a back to most sustainable future? one that's better for everyone. i'm principal in san lagos, nigeria, chris to have you with us. i'm. here's what's coming up. protecting disabled communities for 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 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 coastline. it's highly vulnerable to psych loons. when disaster strikes, its disabled committees are even greater danger than most a cycle any day. heat mozambique, costing much 2019 bucking winds of a 200 kilometers an hour. helena to re good 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,

it's ropes, but some few away. the blue of to my voice. it was one of the wafts tropical silence ever recorded enough. the gun was, i'm beacon, watch too much tv and crisis. over 1500 people died menu of the victims a lot. people with disabilities like helena, who had pointed you as a child for her family support to spite of 50 this, losing it. if i was alone, i don't know what to have up in the 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 shelter. we kept talking and atlanta is pretty lucky, the living room of the house, it's to the wins and give protection to the family. and then that was that they have for 3 weeks no size to life to got 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 the b as the mux of 2nd. let me die after the tragedy she up to to become a specialist. the inclusive disaster preparedness now she walks as a facilitator for an in jewel. it's a job that's growing in importance 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 suffer the most in these climate disasters. people with disabilities are up to 4 times more likely to die even that generally disaster. so the united nation sees the must be involved in prevention. we understand the situation of loss of our live

experiences cannot be i'm the as to meet them pass. we are expecting many other areas and contribution and rich the outcome of discussions, planning, implementation and development arena, bringing this to memorize issues and defend r u. n. savvy less, dea shows that bus 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 as we have

coming to introduce stations, we also have door to door information, drawing stuff out of the national many that's the main thing was in the bump let's being given though to the community do food, i just did this for me. that's it the most. and we also work 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 cycling need some mozambique simple yet vital instruction is 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 disabled population is a big problem that you witness students, 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 organizations, 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 you send us time, the air conditioning does a, i'm just forget the full care. we develop this project because when cycled, i need

a heat. we on, we can, it's about the people with disabilities what being left behind the emergency response. and we saw that there was an issue in the system dotted and owned by some families of the 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 self funded sizes. 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 of measurement committees of being set up in local communities. they all have a key 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 see the same. do you feel that talking it's easier for them to remember. if

i see a slim 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 age meant as the 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 and fast around the world. wetlands may only cover a small fraction of the planets compared to forest, but they are far more efficient at storage. corbin, a pay, they are in project age to bring gems, as far as the woodlands back to life, restoring them as possible. carbon sinks of vibrant biodiversity evans of the this is a wetlands in the making and that takes heavy equipment,

a lot of hard work. and even more time, the forest of the will, mountains and southeastern gemini, 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 manage water supplies across the region, forestry authorities, a willing to go to great lens to keep or to hear this. i know that that's a battery i made from lodge, intend to download to and help restore the wetland romeoville in the coordinates the project, which aimed to re which drain forest peak lands across the old mountain region section a visit to him, son is whitland, was drained, intensively 200 years ago, using a comprehensive system of drainage channels. they put a lot of work into drain the midland back then. so now we have to put

a lot of work into plucking with the cheapest way to re went the area. then we'd have to push the some on the special ed bus fall. we don't have to train these channels. chris across the area for us wetlands tend to be on the small side, only $5.00 to $6.00. hector has an area, it's initially planned to restore some ac heck to the bulk in the old mountains. it's not traditional impulse to, that's just a fraction of a regional wetland areas in the old mountains, most to be drained and have to be revitalized, because we're talking about 60 square kilometers in total. what is the phone on the surface describe, talk to them each on the team, frequently flies, drones over the wetland areas, to monitor the projects progress and document any new water bodies developing in the forest of 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 to,

to the wet conditions specified in the best case scenario. some of these brightly colored trees here will disappear over time, leaving far more open areas to buy. so nearby we can see what he 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 a promising is a tool from wasn't due, this is the spike in the most. instead of calling noise, this area started growling this. yeah. because it's wet enough here. now. both place and forces that precisely what we want. nothing douglas can oh, do you, do you feel while you can see that they don't rocked entirely under water public? and it's precisely that process of incomplete decomposition to which forms peter and make to wetlands into a wetland. that's the 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 gas is being emitted by the re, with these areas they're trying to gauge the effective, expanding wetlands and touched on since i come up with that in germany, 2.4 percent of forest made up of what bonds. of course, it's a small area, but you have to remember that we have people 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 cooling stuff by a dentist to shoot some good. the climate change is also affecting the forest of the old mountains forestry manager. your hand is going to be 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 psych, somebody's yes about 20 percent of its drinking water from the region we close us with. in fact, 60 percent of the forest is

a drinking water protected area. and so the restoration of bulk sonya is very important to us between 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 of a time. it will start to close up please. and in the final stages of inspect the most is will be able to call it noise. the area again on the people will start to grow at the rate of about one millimeter a year. that's the sun. 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

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 is a bio, diverse habitats, walter reservoir and comp and sync back to africa. and to god though we had deep rooted superstitions shape believes, especially in rural areas. some people think about the behavior influences the weather and that only by please in this period gods 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. i

know you the rain maker however, still relies on all rituals, then the 2 bedrooms yakima, we're keeping the tradition of our forefathers. and whenever there is a drought, we need to perform sacrifices to our ancestors. that's what they were doing. the ticket and abundant food and rain. good. if you don't perform these rise, if it won't rain properly, we adjourn it, which i'm not going 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 near the community, more and more farmers have planted their fields right up to the banks of the river where the land is 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 moving forward, a kid has 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 the f, what was to do so that if i didn't reduce how it received in this. yeah, well how to weigh mesa a limits? i will phone daddy's so that you went off, i'm go to the bar at the funding would reduce growing crops to close to the river bed has negative consequences for the environment scientist morning, wendy. if i'm close to what top would use the size of the would that would it begins to reduce then also the machines takes place that you have the position of sealants into the debate. rainfall is also affected by rampant 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 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 in there. so my are outbreak when we, when 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 i'm oh i see keeping a good environment. they just the best way to enjoy your lives. yeah. okay. so will i see the campaigners raise awareness among villagers? not. yeah, i know 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 what they tell us to plant trees instead of cutting them down, it's better than our own practices store. so my elena shiro 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 us thing 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, cutting the trays for fire file if i would, and also a brand new chuckle. so we, we, we brand 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,

project managers regularly visit on your 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. 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 environment is safe for us and full see which 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 a villagers to at least counter act. anthropogenic climate change on a local level we have now to can yeah. wherever communities often face tough challenges and accessing reliable medical care boxes 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 can yes, abundance, sunshine, solar power equipment could help to receive the countries health care, any quality who is at fault, but so no problem could lead to greater sales agreed to take this will buy a clinic in kenya, or it's equipment to be solar power. so it concerns people for a regular clinic is too far away. all this box which can transport, midsize through health care providers in remote regions and still keep them refrigerated to examples of how green innovations are revolutionize in health care . in rural can you, 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. and i've come here for breast cancer screening and the post to simeon 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 can. young government and international partnerships were able to reach about 15000 people were always good for the nation. and the diabetes for the women cause us clinic, we're able to reach around about 3000 women when we screen for the survey caught on

breast cancer. and more than 2000 men who most good for breast cancer. but the small island of freedom d t, in the canyon part of lake victoria is impossible to reach even to, to move by a clinic or 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. none the less, the to bless, thing is about to get vaccinated against this 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 box, the books can keep jobs for up to 3 days. think sweet spot, you know, for that plugs into stay portent. it has to be kept at the temp it's all positive to and supposed to do between positive 10 plus a t h. that is the reason why we must have quotes in equipment. the vaccine for

blessing has had quite to journey to get to her once a month headedness caused mail means, 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 9 will be. this is where dropped access is based, the manufacturer of the miniature fridge. the facts that books can be operated on charged using either solar power or means electricity. it's hot as a 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

a personal experience that to inspire try to come up with a solution. as i said, sometimes it just trying to get to maybe to vaccinated because i go to the clinic and i'm finding the book since i'm not available, especially after these there has been a video blackouts. so i decided to seek a solution that will help them with the slick myself. just have boxes with the chain 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 that somebody please. this is the 1st time i can say that services are good from being quiet in advance and were able to get the vaccines here. it should have been stressful otherwise, because been there as well. so i to isn't in a b to which is quite fun. i used to be an additional one in a month because we didn't have any quotes and the group went very close to our

groups. so we just assemble them of us on one particular day, i do the immunization. but since we got the lights, the books, we were able to now keep our lives in. yeah. and we, we were able to do, we are able now to do immunizations on a daily basis. since 20 to 21 stainless steel boxes like this one, have delivered over 1000000 vaccines for humans on even 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 virus stories by searching for a co op or get online. thanks for watching for now. it's good bye for me, chris. the legs in lagos, nigeria sees it the the

holding up the sky. because if it falls full people are in danger. this as well, that be called for now of leaves by just going to take it to the team of those each and the do you feel free to find any means necessary? so these people, the and remind me in the amazon rain forest in 15 minutes, dw, too good to be true. translating green energy globally is within reach. thank you. have a nice to next this. you can have tina and cheese the power coming from an amazon

system, which the meal benefits from imagine long cables carrying solar power all the way from australia to singapore and ingenious idea. but the project is in jeopardy of failing, made into many and 19 minutes on d w. the why do, how many does not get drunk? why do gravitational waves squeeze all bodies? how much do we need a day to stop comp claim for help find the on says get smudge on data. we use science and i'll take talk tenant, where is mohammed sub for my nephew?

give me a decent meeting. we don't know what's going on on that sub off flight from north, any rock. and he became one of hundreds of migrants to vanish every year. somewhere in no man's land, that's nice between batteries and clear if you choose become pools in a cru, see a political conflict with oh you she does the run starts december 18th on dw, the since its creation in 1961 great funds and supported people on a daily basis in more than a 100 countries, financing projects in various sectors ranging from infrastructure to tell these
