the offline, it is changing. second for the what? the rising global temperatures and more, more extreme weather events are making frequent headlines. hello and welcome. i'm sorry, got the body and you are watching as an eagle assistance chains. we not only need to amplify out efforts to save them, but we also need to adapt our lives and our likelihoods to ensure that we can keep up with the change and size. let's start with the core lights. desert of the agriculture. yeah. must already be hard, one can assume what adding to the difficulties of these pharma is an emerging what a christ 90 percent of integration in this a model engine. light is on the lease in water, but the melting of ice losses resulting in water scarcity is also checked to being funded by the local initiative is combining an edge or traditional method with the
3:03 am
deal with ex knology to come back to this problem. finally, it's that tone made and his wife now have about an hour to divert the flowing water onto the field. the growing bees coaxing something out of the soil. yeah. is becoming harder with each passing. yeah. yeah. we've been finding for the past 70 years. but now it's becoming very difficult and that's how i got and used to be very good. the water was good. there was snow and the weather was good trailer, but we had today many how the how about how much of the but i'll be at the same that your sub for then good. but to pass out of the now the limited water available has to be shared equally with the other residents of thought hit. the village is located in the dock region in india far north on the cool desert area colors more than 9000000 heck does its full 1000 meters above sea level and home to
3:04 am
a little more than 200000 people. most of them live from funding for thousands of you is d. c. a water was used to irrigate the fields, but with the temperatures rising due to human induced climate change, the glitzy is shrinking. life for the foremost is stuff. i do agree, agree as, as you bought, the vehicle it becomes very difficult to find here in the next 2 years because of what to schedule the trauma. this year the weather is bad and the water never comes on the time either to get them or the bundle here. yeah. today a group of engineers has come to check things out from the local and geo coast. second. that aims to help people in the dock been the sustainable future to ensure the small mountain stream from the village has enough water and some of the engineers have created an ice mound shape like a super traditional dis, shine a small artificial dcea it stools the living water the flows down from the
3:05 am
mountains during winter for use in the summer months because the purpose is new a day to get both funding of done only in summer and so the steps under water is needed to deliver instead of the winter water is wasted realtor it flows into the industrial box and then into boxed on and to the ocean and other in order to save that water, we made an artificial and lazy. i go, i think you said that it had been out there. this duplex are based on a wooden frame in winter, underground pipes feed the limited water from the mountain to the right place. due to the difference and pressure, the water shoots upwards. the window is minus 20 degrees celsius, so the water freezes as it falls, foaming. of course, a few 100 kilometers for the on is the village of. let's see. here to be blessed, struggling. the aerial gets just 50 millimeters of rain and summer. but some things have changed to date gloves on young to and is making soup with dried spinning. she
3:06 am
needs she and a has been viewed as finished themselves in the past, they only had potatoes the menu. we'll bring you all to lease finish and pep was and dry them for the window shut down. so just so unlike in the boston. now march, that feels by leaving klein twist on the beds, the soil can then bit to absolve what literally rainwater there is. and it no longer evaporates immediately the loan system dignity ok. she's a scientist that agriculture was research institute based on the city of li. she's helping people here adapt to the changing climate in the news on using what she says, a take a smith. we are trying to introduce a farmer to new technology and some new technology, simple who go to save me last year. and when you meet the farmers face to face, you can see that they've started changing how they do things,
3:07 am
are in the nearby village of key sites. she's trying to help local women create a sustainable livelihood for themselves while also adapting to the changing conditions. so she arranged for green houses to be built. one is now used by up to 16 families solar panels provide the necessary power. it's all financed by a state subsidy program. we bought this, we go a vegetable, he'll click to buy, you know, so all the vegetables needs are easily problem. i'm looking up, that means we don't need to buy parties from the market, but just very far we have the birthday. the women alone, the agricultural know how in workshops, jake, mid to young junior, initially use public funds to finance the seeds for new crops, jumped on it, ask you to do everything for those you. so how does i don't how to do to a 5000 meters? we grew up my friends, 12 shrubberies, watermelon, and tomato,
3:08 am
the guy. we were able to grow mushrooms when it was minus 17 degrees celsius outside mushroom, because no one can see it today that nothing grows you up going able to jump on me, which and it's been made possible by the introduction of technology of the changing climate was a huge challenge for the people of the doc. they would only be able to stay here if they can grow enough food to live in the homeland high up in the court, mountains of the himalayas. the not just the form of foreigners are crucial for our equal system as well. and yet india has lost over 2300000 hectares of 3 cover since 2000. but it isn't just india. we take a look at the woods of germany which are also rapidly declining, but this isn't necessarily bad use. big parts of germany as far as this used to
3:09 am
look like this. ready now they look like this in just a couple of years, this decades old forest has become unrecognizable. the same thing is happening in many parts of germany, europe and north america. but this isn't your typical the planet is dying story. this could actually be good news. but to understand why, let's backtrack a little bit, maybe more than a little bit to the end of world war 2. a lot of the world is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. the allied forces, understandably, you want reparations from germany, but it's broke. so they agree that the country will pay partly in materials, for example, timber, lots of timber, according to some estimates equivalent to 10 percent of the countries for us. so now for us does need to replant big areas asap to rebuild germany itself. and which tree did they choose? mostly the spruce,
3:10 am
which looking back was maybe not the best decision. but at that time, it seems like a good idea to find out why we're driving to, to ring you in the center of germany to meet funding for us. so if is dismay, this is disclosed and is fast growing hot, regularly deliver century high quality, where they can easily be processed at sawmills into furniture flooring. it's used quite mildly as it is english. they have items and spa, that's why it's also a very lucrative treat german forest as planted vast areas with them in straight rows that make it easy to get in. and harvest spruce is of the most common tree in germany and make up over a quarter of all forests. but that is changing rapidly because of what made this one a culture so profitable is also what made it so vulnerable. forest around the world, the suffering from more intense and frequent drought, wild fires,
3:11 am
and storms weakening, entire ecosystems, and germany is no exception. the longest time is due to climate change mean, the forests are too dry, and the trees 1st, especially spruce street, they comparatively need a lot of water, but the root system is quite shallow. so they comp access reservoirs deep down. while that's not the best news for the trees all for humans, and there is one little creature that loves what's happening right now. into the box. this tiny little insect has been munching its way through many of germany's in europe as far as the box. people of course, loves the box. it boils holes into the tree and then release its pheromones to draw a mate inside there they reproduce. emily eggs, a healthy tree usually produces resin to fill up the holes and to protect itself from the beatles. but stuff, the weak trees cannot. that's why the bulk beetle is having
3:12 am
a feast from john bodies selection like years ago. this area was holy forest and dyslexia, if we're standing here now, wednesday last part of this area was infested and during this year that area could also be interested in a matter of funded by the beatles. either way is that transport nutrients and water . this bruce is an die of thirst and mel nutrition. the beetle is the least spreading across europe and the halter it gets, the more beetles will breed. what a full scale it infestation looks like can be seen in bach beetle central, which is the hots national park in the middle of germany, where we're headed here. about 90 percent of all spruce is opted the box. people has come and gone, leaving behind the region. that is quite frankly shocking to look at. we're meeting the whole on peach, the head of the hots national park. the hots region is hit so hard because it had
3:13 am
a very big concentration of spaces. but for peach and many others, this post apocalyptic looking scenario isn't a disaster. quite the opposite. for him, the bulk beetle isn't the villain. it's actually a blessing in disguise. the 5 years the other question is what's happening later. but what's happening is that the old spruce trees are gone in the forest and a long series comment. when you see what kind of strength, how much life areas and it's beautiful. it's great and truly exciting year spend the pol, cut down a section of the forest as a safety barrier so that the beetle will have a hard time spreading into neighboring forest. but apart from that, the national park decided to let nature be nature and did not fight the bulky goals . and nature is indeed doing its thing. different areas of the national park are treated differently. some pod square trees are springing up on their own left of their own devices like this area that died off about 6 years ago. some parts need
3:14 am
a little bit of help, meaning formerly native species that were displaced by this person on the cultures of being planted. but that's just one part of the story. the national park is a protected area that cannot be used to produce tinder anymore, but only around 3 percent of all forest and germany is protected. the rest is govern by public or private forest, as, for example, to produce timber. and we'll probably be using more of it since would can be a very sustainable and renewable building. material managed and grown by forest as like back into india. they need to take a different approach to the bulk b to the trees are checked for interest ation regularly. once an interest agent is found, latrice, i'm ok then that are top down and removed as soon as possible to hold the spread of the beetle. leaving behind vast areas of prematurely filled trees. to prevent something like this from happening again,
3:15 am
the approach here is to not only bent on one tree, but on a variety of trees by auction, it's like with a stock or you're diversify your portfolio to minimize risk. that's what we're trying to do with the mix for as to why it, how this is an equal 1st be a scientist trying to identify the forest of the future. here are some of the candidates, 1st audio genes. beach ok, and sycamore trees are adapted to low elevations. they can survive with less water because they root systems are deeper. seconds of a new come out and select the douglas a native to north america. douglas fast can also handle more heat and droughts. these are currently seen as good candidates, but if we continue to heat up the planet, we will need to mix in some wildcards to find out which ones may be suitable with the syringe and forestry has been conducting. and now of a 10 year old experiment in the driest region of the forest was this often to show
3:16 am
it's more or less because in a mixed for us to have to deal with various species of trees or people each have different risks and costs. so its price here all the way through to the marketing of the word or other product locked in for quotes. we bought a new home put, but from our point of view, it's worth it because it reduces the rent and just go over it with you. you might have more expensive, smaller yield and budget for the forest owner. yeah, it carries less risk because he's a quote hosted thoughts, basically is plain bite visits on this type of forestry, as well as the national parks approach shows where a lot of international forests could be heading. if you guys are also a chance to adapting life change or speed up the 4th version. yeah. which would otherwise take much more time. it's best to get you off of on something that is, it's all good in terms of addressing the climate crisis and it's good for resiliency as well as bio diversity. ok and see if i would, even though it might look tragic, a new batch of forest is already starting to grow. one that is more resilient than
3:17 am
what we created before. and one that will hopefully weather and adapt to whatever is going to happen in the coming decade back. so daddy's a new addition to the streets here over the last decade has been this battery operated electric show. and now these can be found across the d as in india. log on . yeah, they're really cheap for the rider, but also for the oil not. and they're also helping in down meet it's dean energy davi. as employment goes one, easy cry at design. you would know from the outside batteries or can see beneath the note sign. see it's electric rich show is a viewing session for him. i'm buying my electric, rick shaw. this is like got a selection me for me as it helps me earn a living. and i think it's my duty to take care of it daily, more and more ritual drivers by choosing to do without dirty diesel. because india
3:18 am
is population is growing rapidly, especially in the cities. experts estimate the traffic good little by 2050 and with it exhaust fumes. there are still millions of diesels, baldwood $2.00 and $3.00 villas on india roads. but the locker for electric vehicles is booming. as to reno sales show regarding an annual jump of 30 percent to some 900000 transport export side multiple reasons for this trend. which i could be took the major of reasons, the reasons for those growth in india to begin with. it's india clements not just in development policies that have sort of led to this transition from ice to electric, waiting since broadening the 2nd reason if i were to attribute as start off economics. and the total is the stock ups in india, it's really started making these electric weight goes out in intrusted into getting into manufacturing, get us. let's click where it goes back to the little the start,
3:19 am
i would say, in a certain sense. and in many cases, the model is simple. instead of lots of battery blocks, it's usually the small ones that have a show to like, spend better affordable for drivers. like i'll show to han that i've made that have for the it costs less and has so many advantages compared to a normal rickshaw. yet that i can save up to a 1000 rupees a day off the size of a heads up. i say yes, all the money to do. he wants to buy a new electric shot. he just needs to choose one. the government has invested heavily electron mobility and offered subsidies and incentives to both customers and dealers from a vehicle like this used to cost almost $3000.00 us dollars. but thanks to the government subsidy, it now only costs the customer half as much, and therefore far less than a gasoline powered car it's, it's a whole new driving experience for customers. so
3:20 am
it is a good side. these electric rich songs are really useful and available everywhere. they don't use gasoline, so we don't have any exhaust fumes. i often use them to take my children to school or to go to the bench to full market and visit my brothers. once more the service is cheap. it's also easier to get in and out of the electric richer getting payments. very comfortable to shop, to hon. yep. so that you could test drive today. yeah, i've been driving an electric vehicle for 3 years. i only commute with my electric, rick shaw. well, it doesn't pollute the environment. it doesn't. it's meant as much exhaust fumes as gasoline and diesel vehicles. i got a bottle of me come on if i that's why he has come back for a new one. this business says 200 vehicles a month and is hiring new workers in new york and we've been in business for 10
3:21 am
years and they have good annual growth. but in the last 2 years, post cove in this industry is seen phenomenal growth. people's mindset is changing in favor of electron mobility and dice and huge success in the future as well. any one copy we're getting. a sentiment echoed by hundreds of companies in india is electric beacon sector. and with more people like the north side, starting as electric, rickshaw drivers, they're helping to go to air pollution with each ride new tent and thought july that pollution is a major problem for the emerging ecosystem. she ordered in the research as estimate to nearly $5000000.00 tons of fertilizers as a do for you to the coastline each year. and this is also a problem that denmark is dealing with. the bars. dixie is running out of oxygen. the baltic sea, with its stunting nature, is one of northern us most popular travel destinations. and the coastline along by
3:22 am
the field is one of denmark's most expensive residential areas. but it's superficial. beauty is deceptive. he's weekly fishing trips continued to show fish las amigos in how the feud is slowly dying. below the surface l. d. 's blooming clouding the water and depriving fish and underwater plants the vital life and oxygen. scientists footage shows how the bottom of the fuel it has become nearly devoid of life in waters that once with full of cod flounder and loved fish. it used to be real fishes, paradise says mickelson, but now they are almost no fish less. he's been going out to sea for over half a century because then had hoped to continue fishing off to retirement,
3:23 am
to supplement his pension. now taking the boat out is not really worth it anymore. my, that is a new and he makes me both angry and frustrated. nobody is really doing anything special. no it, it seems like those who should be taking action are only trying to shift the blame on a 2 year. 2 point. oh, excuse me. no, no, no, no, i didn't. nicholson's mine denmark's farm is to blame. the small country with just under 6000000 inhabitants is home to twice as many cows and pigs and many farm is used fertilizers on the fields that eventually end up in the sea. christian medicines finalize only a few kilometers from the fjord. he says he has already cut the use of nitrates to the bare minimum. he uses a satellite images to monitor which fields need to be fertilized and which can do
3:24 am
without. but he thinks it would be impossible to give up fertilizers altogether. i think it's a good thing that we have reduce the nitrogen, but i don't think we can get any further. i think we are the lowest limit that we can accept as a from plants need nutrients to grain one grow without them since the pharma and since reducing the use of fertilizes, his plans are already only surviving on what is left in the ground. the mads fields christianson is aware of the problem. as a nature manager, these are the seeing of project and restoring the ecosystem invite. yes, your, you know, is the odd facts and numbers. at this point, we know for a fact that the 80 percent of the nutrients emitted to why the fuel it comes from farming. we also have 10 percent today from,
3:25 am
from the up in waste water and maybe 10 percent from, from fish farming. but that is the range and that's uh tell us a little bit about where we need to have the nitrate run off regularly closes out the growth to explode. the balloon covers everything in the field. even killing the gross due to light the probation that same you across is one of the most important elements in the ecosystem along the baltic sea coast. it produces oxygen and provides habitat for smaller fish. that's why christianson and his team from the municipality. i've taken to planting new beds of you gross invited your fuel, but the restoration project is complicated. artificial rates are being built and muscle fonts created. these blue muscles filter dirty water, which in turn allows more light to penetrate deeper fuel gross can return and therefore produce oxygen. but when to many nutrients are flushed into the sea,
3:26 am
again, causing the algae to return. the fragile balance is thrown off and the nature manages concerns not restricted to divide. you feud? we have hit this breaking point the, the system has collapsed within the last 56 years. so that's just the beginning. we will see this is a situation that over the baltic along the coast, the eco system of the inland sea has become disrupted lots of mucous and sees little other than crowds in the nets. he puts out in the value fuel of the since they no longer have any natural enemies that become a plague. destroying that you gross eating the muscles and killing the young fish. did code mucus in hopes that everyone in the region would take more responsibility and act to save his fuel
3:27 am
. because the problem, denmark is currently looking to solve is already threatening the voltage sees entire coast modifying the way the fish bomb or get to the island is urgently needed to help us adapt to this applicant changes. what are there any such adaptive shows that you are seeing that on where you are? let us know you can email us already talk to me directly on my social media handles . i will see you next week until then take care. good bye. now most of the
3:28 am
3:29 am
london underground. the 2 is the oldest subway in the world. it's full of surprises. so everyone on board please. and of course, dental guest 09. in 60 minutes on the how many platforms can you handle single tenuously without having the feeling that it's just too much you might see me. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking diesel, modern. because if we do too much,
3:30 am
we paid it all wrong. we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube dw documentary, good, vigorous exercise, something interesting and meaningful to do. having fun with people we love. we all have different needs, but there's one thing nearly all of us see a connection and affection from others finding our soul made and rightly so, because love has medicinal power. researchers are finding increasing evidence that love improves our physical well being, reduce the stress and boost the immune system. but it's not all fun and games. there are broken hearts separation, jealousy.
