>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm nikki battiste in new york. thanks for staying with us. a united nation report casts a harsh light on the growth of child labor around the world. it shows between 2016 and 2020, the number of working children rose for the first time in two decades to 160 million. in africa, more than one in five children works, many of them in dangerous jobs. in the west african country of ghana, debora patta saw kids working in the fishing industry under troubling conditions. >> reporter: the beauty of lake volta is deceptive. these are troubled waters.
2:41 am
thousands of children are fishing here. some work in the family business. many have been sold into modern-day slavery. godwin labored on this lake for five years, orphaned at 10, he was entrusted into the care of a man who promised to send him to school. >> i didn't know that i was going to fish. >> reporter: and at first he didn't know how to swim. >> they said it's deep. >> reporter: very deep? >> yeah, deep. so i had to go down. >> reporter: if he refused, he was beaten. >> i was afraid. i was thinking, i didn't know where my life will end. i said i would run away. >> reporter: eventually he did escape, saved by wallace who works under cover and has rescued over 150 children for an international charity. we went out on the lake to see for ourselves.
2:42 am
ricketty vessels filled with kids, adept at unraveling the fine mesh. and when those nets snag on submerged tree branches, they're forced to dive deep into the murky waters to untangle them. adult work made easier by exploiting agile bodies and tiny hands. the eldest here claims the 9-year-old boy on this boat is his brother. how come you don't speak the same language? >> reporter: it's a red flag. another little boy, believe it or not, called freedom. freedom, where is your mom? he, too, is from far away and speaks a completely different language to the others on the boat. within the space of half an hour we've come across four boats in which there could be potential traffickers. do you see this often? >> yeah, we see this often. but when we see them, we come
2:43 am
back. >> reporter: wallace gathers intel from sources in freedom's village. weeks later he confirmed the child had been trafficked, but it was too late to rescue him. he'd been moved. a tactic slave owners use to evade arrest. during this entire time we haven't seen a single official from either the police or the navy who is supposed to be patrolling this water. and so children are easy prey. why do you think there is so much trafficking in this area? >> due to poverty. >> reporter: and poverty is all around us here. desperate, extreme, persistent. it's not just boys who are trafficked. these sisters were snatched near their family home, only recently rescueds. their eyes tell of horrors they could not speak out loud. warnings of trafficking abound, but they're not a deterrent. as we found out from this slave
2:44 am
owner turned informant. how much did you pay for a child? that's about $80. and it's a human life. you bought a child. is that not slavery? that's how it is, he shrugs. over 25 years he's bought thousands of children. what's the worst thing you ever did as a slave owner? forcing a kid who doesn't know how to swim to dive to the bottom of the lake, he told us. they could go down and never come up. >> reporter: so many children have died here, but there is another dreadful truth to hear. you were sold into slavery? by my father, he tells us. the child slave has become the master. godwin refuses to go that route. >> i wanted to go to school so that i could become someone.
2:45 am
i didn't want to do fishing work. >> reporter: he harbors no bitterness towards his abuser. >> he have to be punished. i have to forgive him. >> reporter: how are you able to forgive him, godwin? such a hard time. the unearned forgiveness of a boy whose childhood was stolen on this lake. maybe this time the cycle has been broken. debora patta, lake volta, ghana. heads of state, corporate titans, celebrities, royals and religious leaders will all gather in scotland at the end of this month for the 26th annual united nations climate change conference. it is expected to be the biggest gathering since 2015 when world leaders signed onto the paris climate accord, with nations vowing to reduce greenhouse gases in their own countries. the goals of the paris accord have not been met, and the effects of rising temperatures
2:46 am
can be seen from glaciers of norway to our own great lakes. ben tracy reports. >> not going to beat mother nature. >> reporter: this is really an example of the force of the lake dennis stankiewicz has lived along lake superior for two decades. it kind of looks like it got bombed out. >> it does, it does. >> reporter: and even in this now long-term relationship, he says the lake still has all the power. he showed us this shattered stretch of road that used to be lakeshore boulevard. >> lake erosion really got the best of it. but ultimately it failed because nature caught up with us. >> reporter: stankiewicz is planning director for the city of marquette, home to about 20,000 people on michigan's upper peninsula. the city had to spend nearly $3 million rebuilding the road 300 feet away from its increasingly unpredictable neighbor.
2:47 am
>> we're watching the intensity of these storms just get worse and worse to the point that they are really becoming dangerous for our infrastructure and the health and welfare of the community. >> reporter: so you're seeing the extremes get more extreme? >> the extremes are getting way more extreme. >> reporter: the storms fueled by climate change are more frequent and intense. they are battering shorelines throughout the great lakes, turning roadways into rivers and forcing homes off their once lofty perches. >> if we keep going on the path we're on, we don't really know where these extremes are going to take us. >> reporter: melissa scanlon is the director for water policy for university of wisconsin milwaukee. she said michigan hit a low water level in 2013 and swung wildly tos rdechsor normal for lakes to rise and fall. how is that cycle changing? >> the highs are getting higher
2:48 am
and the lows are getting lower. i'm most concerned about flooding and sewage contaminating the drinking water supply for millions of people. >> reporter: the city of milwaukee sits on lake michigan, and the local sewer district is now tearing out these concrete stormwater channels built in the 1960s that can no longer handle the intense rain events. they are restoring the more natural flow to try to slow down the water to keep it from flooding nearby homes and to keep sewage from pouring into lake michigan if the system gets overwhelmed. >> the city's infrastructures aren't really built to deal with these kind of rainfall extremes. and so we need to figure out how to manage this water and to adapt to the future. >> reporter: of course, the great lakes do not lack for water. they hold 84% of north america's surface freshwater supply. air temperatures in the region are predicted to increase by up to 11 degrees by the end of the century, making those notorious
2:49 am
northern winters a bit more bearable. that's why places like marquette, michigan, are now seen by some as a climate change refuge. >> and they're finding us, and they're coming. >> reporter: you lead the way. stephanie jones sells real estate in marquette where the housing market is hot and they can't build new homes fast enough. but there are signs the locals would prefer tourists rather than transplants. are folks here ready to have a lot of new neighbors? >> it depends on who you ask. a lot of people have that, i'm here and i want to be the last person, so can we just shut the door behind me feeling. >> reporter: dennis stankiewicz never thought he'd see people moving here for the weather. >> no. i have to be honest with that. >> reporter: after all, marquette put up a sign, proudly displaying its record snowfall of 22 feet. but given fires ravaging the western u.s. and hurricanes hitting the south, this small
