the, i love it, i love the fact that you can do the choices. what was actually a hasn't made a big impact on me. so that was so, you know, one of the, i can say a life changing the incentive in my life for shot the it takes resilience and cooperation to tackle the challenges of the modem. well, what goes through the technology for additional knowledge or share determination? people off for the impulse towards a better, most sustainable future. one that's better for everyone. i'm principal in san lagos, nigeria, chris to have you with us. and here's what's coming up for texting,
2:31 pm
disabled communities for both of the big extreme with the bring in 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 events are becoming more common around the world and will sound big as 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 to line. it's highly vulnerable to psych loons with disaster strikes. it's disabled committees are even great. the dent uh done 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,
2:32 pm
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 to few away. the blue of 2. in the 4th, it was one of the wafts tropical site gloves ever recorded in africa and was, i'm beacon watch too many tv and crises. over 1500 people died menu of the victims a lot. people with disabilities like atlanta, who had pointed you as a child for her family support, was vital to 50 this, losing it. if i was alone, i don't know what to have up and there while i live in the fussing, talk to us source. or is 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 the lennox bring. luckily, the living room of the house, it's to the wins and give protection to the family. and then that was stuck there for 3 weeks. no size to the life to get them full of dice. our streets were all
2:33 pm
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 de helena's house the b as the mux of stink. 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 n g o. 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. you know, not generally disaster. so the united nation sees the must be involved in
2:34 pm
prevention. we understand the situation of loss of our live experiences cannot be. i'm the as to meet some pass, we are expecting many other series and contribution and rich the outcome of discussions planning as i mentation and development arena, bringing this to memorize issues and defend r u n savvy. unless the a show 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, on the warnings, kind of give people the time to prepare. hopefully, we 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,
2:35 pm
you've seen cycles on the day that much told us about so many that us we have coming to introduce solutions. we also have door to door information, drawing support of the national many that's the main thing was in the bump. let's being given though to the community do food that just didn't visually, that's it the most. and they 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 students, that one in 6 people have some form of disability, but without quality information,
2:36 pm
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 dinner. somebody told one of us to know that as we are now together with organizations, a person disability, encouraging space to ensure that in every sunday, in everett, some fifths pastors 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 you send us time, the condition does
2:37 pm
a i'm we just forget the full can 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 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 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 there needs to be inclusion in every sense, in both to same thing. do you feel that talking?
2:38 pm
it's easier for them to remember if i see a slim but in the noise, it's like a shout saying that we are here some getting the inclusion of people with disabilities in risk of gives us time 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 just wetlands. these landscapes have been disappear in fast around the world. what lands may only cover a small fraction of the products compared to forest, but they are far more efficient at storing carbon a pay they are in project age to bring gymnast forested woodlands back to life, restoring them as possible. carbon sinks of vibrant biodiversity evans of the this is
2:39 pm
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 aims to re which drain forest peak lands across the old mountain region. a section, a visit to him, son is whitland, was drained, intensively 200 years ago using a comprehensive system of drainage channels. they put
2:40 pm
a lot of work into drawing me midland back then. so now we have to put a lot of work into blocking with the cheapest way to re went the area and we've got to push the some on the special ed bus fall. we don't have to train these channels . chris across the area for his 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
2:41 pm
a moisture on the ones in the us. we want trees to dial due to the wet conditions specified in the best case scenario of some of these brightly colored trees here will disappear over the time, leaving far more open areas. some of the high, 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 a promising is the 12 most of these, this is the spot and the most instinctive calling noise. this area started growing this year because it's wet enough here now both place and force 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 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,
2:42 pm
to in the heart of the forest researches from the, to the institute of measuring the type and amount of guesses being emitted by the re, with these areas. they're trying to gauge the effect of expanding wetlands and touched on since i come up with that in germany, 2.4 percent of forest a made up of what bounds of course it's a small area, but you have to remember that we have people that go 10 meters down below ground when me and they store huge quantities of c o 2, that vital cup and the 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 leader of 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 psych,
2:43 pm
somebody's yes about 20 percent of its drinking water from the region. we close us with 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 form damage 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 some it will take about a few 1000 years before the people really expand. that's a problem in
2:44 pm
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 you it's 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
2:45 pm
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 in whenever there is a drought, we need to perform sacrifices to our ancestors. that's what they were doing that to get abundant food and rain go. if you don't perform these rise, if it won't rain properly, we adjourn it, which i'm not done before. she is due to human induced climate change weather extremes are also becoming noticeably stronger here in northeastern gone, of 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
2:46 pm
are volunteers who have been trained by the national disaster management organization or not know for short. and then when we play, the 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 from that 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 scientist morning, wendy, if i'm close to what top would use the size of the, what would it begins to reduce then also the machines takes place that you have the position of sealants into the base rainfall is also affected by rampant
2:47 pm
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 or 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, get a sense um 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,
2:48 pm
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 story. smiling. a hero 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. of the villagers now 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 heck pairs of acacia trees new. they gotcha fucked, loud as we started doing them off on cutting the trays for fire file if i would, and also a brand new chuckle. so we, we, we brought that these 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,
2:49 pm
project managers regularly for sitting 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 wind breaks. after 3 years, the program manager makes an initial assessment. one community at a time become one each climate change. it's all about the efforts together that will show that our environment is safe for us and for 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 real communities often face tough challenges and accessing reliable medical care box and save 4 to
2:50 pm
5000000 lives every year worldwide. yeah. so huge amount goes to ways because of united way refrigeration in the supply chain with 10. yes. abundance. so shine solar power equipment. good health to receive the countries health care any quality to the store, but soon the power could lead to greater shields agreed to take this will by a clinic in kenya. oh, it's equipment to be solar power and so it concerns people for a regular cleaning is too far away for 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 can you the mobile cleaning cause the right people accusing up to be examined? that's because here in boone go, my region,
2:51 pm
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. and if we didn't, but to say this is inside mammograms, i performed behind the curtain, the mobile phoenix machine. so oil solar 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. risk financed by the can young government and international partnerships. whatever to read about 15000 people were always good for the nation and the diabetes for the women. cuz that's kind of what
2:52 pm
able to do is i don't about 3000 women whom we've been for the survey quite on breast cancer. and why then 2000 men who screen for breast cancer book the small island of freedom d t. in the canyon part of lake victoria is impossible to reach even for the move by a panic as the population of our own size 1000 lives mainly on fiction ring due to is not connected. so can you, is national power and great power from the local solar company is unreliable? non, the less little blessing is about to get vaccinated against this area. separate types, these we and broke the virus, the health clinic or ring bt 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 was in to state portent it as to be kept at the temperature of positive 2
2:53 pm
and a positive between positive then positive h. that is, that isn't what we must have quotes and equipment. the vaccine for blessing has had quite to journey to get to once a month headedness cause male maureen, such as vaccines and other met scenes from neighboring island from gardner. before our own trip, deluxe books is crucial and keeping big enough to looms cold. during the long trip . we switch now to the kenya of capital, an economy co 9 will be. this is where dropped access is based, the manufacturer of the miniature fridge. the effects of books can be operated on charged using either solar power or means electricity act. it's hot as the batteries the vaccine books was invented by nora mcgill, the 1st canyon woman to win the you case,
2:54 pm
africa price for engineering innovation. it was a personal experience that inspired her to come up with a solution, as i said, some kind of just trying to get to my books and to because i go to the clinic and i'm finding the book since they're not available, especially after these there has been a very low blackout, 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 re engage. 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 admissions went in
2:55 pm
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 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 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 oper. get online. thanks for watching for now. it's good bye for me, chris. the legs in lagos,
