us a sustained by a complex web of climatic processes. i'm neal rains predictable seasons and consistent

temperature is old allowed life to flourish. but a over reliance on fossil fuels is causing the delicate balance of all planets to shift. instances of extreme weather used to be rad. but now deadly heat wave. wild fires. powerful floods. hurricanes and drops. a becoming the norm. the question is no longer will they happen. but when. and how we can cope with them. i'm tony can you let in kenya to explore a high tech solution that is helping her to survive i'm going. to a number for beer in myanmar would drones are helping to protect coastal communities against extreme weather events.

yes hey i have been in the grip of a devastating drought. amongst those worst affected i can use over five million pastores. for whom finding fresh water and last postion and is critical for the survival of their head. but something has been develope. something like this hold the key to getting hurt is around the country through these difficult times. today and i've called every scout is being launched in the town of catching. the hurt is all over the region who've come to learn more about the app and take that information back to their villages. i'm interested to see what they make of the new technology. i freeze count is the brain child of project concern international. pc nine an ngo committed to helping high it is. nearly four thousand people around africa use it so far. today it's been officially

rolled out in kenya. i mean he doesn't hear from friends get thank you for coming to somewhat. nctc i hopes to revolutionize how hood is find water by using something 87% of kenyans already had in their pockets [inaudible] smart phone. so what. happens. on their phones. the axis is satellite maps which detailed the water conditions throughout. dating is the ten days. yeah what you're looking at right now this is the kind of hesitated condition. you can also zoom. defining surface water. so as you can see here this is a line that has not yet right. using it hey does concede instantly we to target migratio. and avoid using dry areas which need time to recuperate. to find

out more about how they can help it is. i'm off to seven kenya with some insight have lost. half their cattle. just one does everyone has been using after scout three months. does to us yes hi i'm donny thank you so much for allowing us to come to a home and join you today yeah. these are animals yeah this is my animals okay is my father. is it to meet his lover yeah. is my brother hello yeah me too yeah. is another brother of mine hello is on my views on my album it's a pleasure to meet you all yeah so we can get started we gonna walk now. there is that making process looking accounts in the yeah after milking we will. yes my mom hello yeah.

maybe that's how it will be i mean the white when. a bit while yeah when you go on after. that mean it can possibly kick. the masai cattle are highly prized. a large cow can fetch is much as five hundred dollars in the market. but it's even more valuable as a source of food for the family. something that seems so simple but it's really not as easy as it looks. need to have quite a good read them yeah and enough strength to make it down. when you took? he's very very nice. so when you have a drought like kenya is having now. how does that affect your cattl? lester wrote when they might get addicted we have to because i know i lost. an awfully. fifteen yeah.

yes i begin but it was i felt it is very much about. when you do come through prostration that i cannot control? have today. yeah i mean i know today we're going to take a track and i'm i'm hoping that you can show me. that the tool that you've been using now that. makes it easier -- yes that's number. one in the afternoons you can see there is a green the process here okay so that is the journey that will be making yeah. we we we walk about that. four kilometers yeah wow. that's a long way to go. back up yes go goes a long entr. joshua our custom to walking as far as it takes to find good posture staying away from their families for months at a time.

i guess for the we have to be close you cannot dead yes the only one that. joshua didn't have that last year when the conditions will also stream. this is what are there. nada they lost. when i was moving this? one he fell down here. we will try to help its bottom of it is centrally today. some kind of a son yeah. so you had gone to try and look for water and and postures for the cows but the cow just couldn't make the journey yeah and the cow just collapsed here yeah it was on the call it could also. be as five six eighty eight in the morning. six hundred us and

even. so it was a real loss for you yeah to some of it brings back home just the thought that it's such a difficult way of life. because you have to keep on the move to find the water and to find the grazing lands but in order to move these animals use so much energy. to go from one place to another so if you don't know where you're going. and you're just trying your luck wherever you can it's incredibly hard for these and right that's different. yeah. with almost 30% of his livestock already lost to drought it's even more pressing for joshua to keep his surviving cattle in good condition. which means finding ample water doing the trick. well we have one for that add add drinking point that is s. like a somewhere here. and we needed that character debt collector that. according to the act it's thirty

kilometers from where they star. is a really popular place to come and drink i see someone else is brought their cows yeah. can we find a place under the tree maybe have a bit of a rest yeah quite tight. so can we see this watering hole on the map. is the model we can from this place. traveler. so now we i guess somewhere here you can see some somewhere here. knowing the location of a tempe water source like this could mean life or death for a hood. l. will give away the weston will court abs nice it was a monumental plus app can make all this much simpler. and if we give for well bristol ninety got do you do not after his thought are you teaching them how to yeah. okay because at the moment when you need to look for water for your cattle for pastors what do you do. it does go blind yeah. so you think you might use it. yeah and does that sound interesting doesn't something something you would use that and

you can. it's been ten hours and we into what should be good posture. this is the place we wind that morning. and we have traveled all the way from the model to some of the maybe i mean under a remote site maybe yeah. yeah. you can see the difference so much better. it's so much better with glasse. to the house will be able to stay here i'll have enough food to eat yeah they would stay here for almost one month. the left on there we shall see are getting them up when i dish and be. good at something channel i've had a wonderful day. you so much i'm tired and i've had a wonderful day sorry and i must thank you yeah.

now we can move to the homestea. because now they're sending sai. mentioned come a couple student in your class thank. yeah i could use. one the head is with access satellite maps livestock mortality has nearly. joshua has relied on the scout he hasn't lost any counts to drown. he has been a real success [inaudible] yeah yeah. extreme weather events and now a regular occurrence around the world. scientists have found that human caused climate change is that the root. two sides of them. the result is often human suffering.

in twenty seventeen hundreds were left dead and many thousands homeless by unusual weather conditions. the hurricane season in the carribean cruise unprecedented levels of destruction. devastating floods swept across southeast asia. tornadoes hits the south of the us. and california was roasted by he twice. since two thousand nine one person every seconds has been displaced by disaster. it's predicted that by twenty fifteen will be two hundred million environmental migrants. what we currently have service is that people might great temporarily and over sort distance internally within their countries? if there's a charter in environmental stress you move you temporarily moved but then there's the expectation an incentive from the reality the

people come back. what we might see in the future is permanent migration and long distance migration you might see how communities having to relocate? because their livelihood so no longer. have sustainable it might the entire nation states that have - among the most by a diverse habitats on the planet the play a vital role in the lives of coastal communities. but these forests are facing deforestation. 35% of the world's mind groups have already been lost and here in the irrawaddy delta. 16% of regional companies left. i'm in myanmar where local innovative project is combining grassroots conservation. drone technology take mangled regeneration to new heights.

no more is vulnerable to cyclone switch strike every few years. in two thousand eight the worst ever cyclone nargis claimed more than a hundred and thirty thousand lives. experts now believe that mine grooves hold the key to saving thousands of lives when the next big storm hits. to find out how i've come to the local coconut farmers who agreed to show me is mongrel forest. what is the proper trees? the tallest man groups he reached twenty five meter is an s. thirty forty centimeters in diameter. the force was planted after a cycle.

nineteen seventy five these trees hid did you plant them would i do without him beating mark i need. a guy nishina thou. i'm a call. what i found? you can imagine these incredibl. violent storms the blue in here and you start to understand how these mature for such you have the capacity to break that that wind and stop some of that. storm surge making its way into these settlements and farms. and hope that maybe some of the other farms where there's no man grooves do you know of any form. that and suffer because of the storms a nap at hubbell. vision yeah you did. he did it. lightning. i look at yeah. all my michigan he added but you know i comedy and maybe he had. when he got? yes i did i did a bit.

so is it a protection [inaudible] yeah. so my groups is so effective for protecting against storms. wife one million hectares being cut down since. nineteen seventy eight leading the population here unprotected. i'm meeting when young and colleges with thirty years experience in forestry to find out more. wearing hello are you thanks for me yeah. in the video thanks so much. win hates the world few international foundation's group regeneration project here [inaudible] yeah [inaudible] yeah [inaudible] yeah [inaudible]

yeah [inaudible] while. at the moment the this admin grocery all over december mental condition is a cv alley degraded right in that because j. et are. assisted by send of the villages they don't have for that by men in jail. he tried to final day money from there may go for it. and then they can come in god did three within that one a lot they can get their money for the a livelihood now i understand so you're talking about really a negative feedback yeah i cycle yeah is this confluence of the environmental. stresses economic stresses yes driving people into the mangrove job yeah yeah i understand.

shrimp and rice farming as well as chuckle production had stripped me a mark of my groups. leaving it critically exposed. if action isn't taken soon the communities who live here are in danger of being decimated by the next big storm. they're still freezing yeah yeah i do see this is that there is this entry okay. this is a a well rounded. okay build from there. two thousand fifteen win and a hundred locals have systematically planted four hundred thousand seedlings by hand here in the last three years. there it goes right back yeah all the way through doesn't yeah [inaudible] yes. but the job is far from complete okay so we've come right into the thick of it here all that work that we can hear in the background that's a lot of shopping and preparing. of the ground before. three hundred thousand seedlings are more inclined to do so. much so things like.

there's a lot of hard work going on so we should maybe going trying linda hand. hi i'm russell. hi. so can you tell me. are you are you from this area you know what all of that said golden all want all. wheel a little model. we will be like even above awful devil around and nobody at all. hello dm all old. ana de vito's him he does it al. donald a library at the notes will be there mia see why your mobile mall when we leave. you feel some way you are. giving something back. you know one low viral. your goal movie actually my little dog. you know on do you got a cold water do ya he would want.

but i can. and get the get the hang of it and do it it's all about the angles. okay just like that. the team of thirty five thousand hectares of coastline to plant. the racing to do it before the next billing cycle [inaudible] this is [inaudible] complex ecosystem but we're looking at yeah and not as in the colleges. it must be. incredibly challenging. move towards restoration. when this turn to the latest technology? so i am a busy area -- we tried- to make then nineteen yeah.

they are they working today that the the yeah -- that wanting to be yeah. today the oxford based team of scientists will be testing with their double propeller courtroom coopted room. twenty seven thousand seats in an hour. okay so cutting edge [inaudible] by. rina figuring two heads up the project. so and as a seventy number for anything like this to your knowledge -- off no tool without knowledge we are definitely the first one and the it's going to be our largest -- experiment isn't as we can have a look at one of the push just to kind of get a sense of what you're what we're dealing with here. so what is what is inside this. they made for all by the grace of a plastic -- and all natural material and insights you'll so while you have local seats and you have all local minerals and

natural materials looks like we're nearly there just so green light [inaudible] okay [inaudible] so good [inaudible] hello -- it tends to be successful if one show into the ground all posts embeddedness soil deep enough for gross to occur. if it works the team will return in a few months time to kind twenty four million [inaudible] four that is. i've never seen anything like that before. the room has a pre programmed flight path. the seats penetrate the soil the chance of each of these ports becoming a tree is greater than if planted by nature or hand. because the debt to make them more resistant to erosion.

down in the team a happy the seats are in the ground and it's time for nature to take its course. i was just thinking the inside this thing i mean this this so much more than just seeds. it's it's the future it's a potential to save a life because my roast it's the living shield they protect people from the ocean they protect people from tsunami from cura canes. and we have to do it now and we have to do it at the massive scale because from today to maybe six nine months from now maybe one year from now as maximum. we will have a growing shield already so if the cyclone hits next year of people here will be protected. and when you when you put it like that you know. all of a sudden something so small can seem basin if can indeed so i'm actually gonna put that back in the ground where we found. okay good luck will in a sticky rate and then. the scientists testing finished [inaudible] thank you.

of women is team is just the beginning. they wanted to the seas progress carefully. if all goes to plan and many more trees will be planted by drone here in the near future. helping to safeguard the coast from extreme weather -- all over the world people having to adapt to unpredictable climate and weather patterns. and canada west sea ice has become dangerously thin. a scheme is providing real time measurements of ice thickness to local communities. this data reveals which route to say to travel. and which i know. meanwhile in los angeles where extreme drought has become the norm. ninety six million shaped rooms have been put into the la

reservoir to help reduce evaporation rate. these projects show the level of innovation the community is a using to protect themselves against increasingly volatile weather. but the question remains. are these long term solutions. or are they just masking the real

>> even if they force me to turn back a thousand times, i'll keep trying. " >> they are determined, driven --- and often unwelcome. millions of people are desperate to start a new life abroad. what do they face on their journey there? and how can they make a fresh start? more than 108 million people are currently displaced. a record high. they are fueling human rights
