Heres whats coming up today. Here about problems caused by them to impress decide on who they got to. Land what people in kenya are doing to help think crown graemes misting should. Now lets start with Renewables South Africa is heavily dependent on coal about some of the some percent of the countrys primary energy needs are met by coal and thats a lot not good for the environment the government is looking to promote the use of solar power but converting to solar proving to be a slow process tell on the southern cape are the front runners for 4th of all tykes Solar Systems are equal reports some of the people that are seeking to shake up the south African Energy mix. The musicians on the water trench in cape town have plenty of this kind of energy. But the lettres to change South Africans are dependent on the government and enterprise and. Cape town is always open to new possibilities the. Great goalkeeping Solar Systems and provides advice during installation there is their chance that we can go up to or are you denying. These days youll find solar panels all over especially here in the harbor a terrorist hot spot cape town has become a socialist center yet this insulation is special because at the v. N. A. Waterfront. In cape town it was one of the 1st large rooftop installations. Of all distributed over all roofs here on the waterfront all in all totaling more than 1. 3 major watts of capacity and the electricity is used immediately when its when its produced so there is no storage involved its not feed it back into the grid its just use as its produced. The provider is not really interested in having solar energy fed into the grid doesnt want competition. Never the less great goal cooper is finding more and more customers all over the country who would like to invest in solar power like here in ca is south africas fruit farming region this Cold Storage Company has high Energy Costs Solar energy is less expensive and environmentally friendly to boot so investing in the sun is a Good Alternative the costs for conventionally generated power have gone up in recent years. The manager shows us where the investments were made. Solar cells were installed on a large scale here on the roof theyre now able to produce 15 percent of the energy they need themselves. With our sun i think and the cost of solar panels now and there is a way of operating it not too much and. You can focus on your best to focus on on. Getting some power i think solar panels definitely. The best way to go. The company has cut their c o 2 emissions by 7000. 00 tons over the last 4 years and solar generated power is simply less expensive than conventionally produced energy but the company hasnt been given a permit to add more solar cells to the roof although theres plenty of space available. Even so the lengthy approval procedures are not scaring off investors in cape town more and more small providers are supplying other areas in africa with energy such as sustained solar. Your political. Here theyre testing their new plant this solar plant can be installed with relative ease almost anywhere after 2 days it already provides electricity Solar Technology has as has advanced in such a way that. The environmental benefit is no longer the only selling argument costs have come down so significantly the ease of installation has become. A real seller these portable systems are delivered to many countries in africa the equipment fits into one single container. Here a school in south sudan is being set up for solar powered electricity. We have areas that are far from the Main National great and have been built a system thats built into a full container with all the equipment you need to set up. Going into deeper parts of africa where you dont have access to tools and engineering services. With more alison bright sunshine than any other continent on earth solar power has Great Potential in africa and as the population continues to grow the need for energy will to. Recently published reports said july was the hottest month ever recorded on earth and we all know what heat can do. Thats right anti melt ice for one thing not a problem in a cool drink by huge problem when it comes to oxygen a says sea levels are rising in many parts of the world so much so that the land is being lost to the sea the next report from europe gives us an idea of what the consequences of that can be. Mike throssell has the sea right at his doorstep hes a dedicated angler whos lived on the coast of wales for over 40 years right now the ira sees bright and sunny but the people here have seen their share of storm surges. Mikes house stands right behind this dike its held firm against wind and tide so far its hard to realize that. With rising sea levels all this could be gone. They say in as little as 50 years its hard to believe. Fairborn is a Seaside Village of about a 1000 people and say the experts doomed by Climate Change several 1000000 pounds have gone to build dams and dikes to protect the houses from the sea. But now the welsh north origins are throwing in the towel and calling on the villagers to find new homes. Where measuring the sea levels in the area across north wales coast are way off finding evidence that sea levels are rising reality and so before i make it just for happens before anything big happens we really really need to be making sure that people are aware of those risks and that were talking to them and involving them in solutions. But what solutions can there possibly be mike and his partner see their lives and their home at stake and lots of money. Quite a malaysian now the situation is already its not a simple for them as it is for pensioners to buy a new house elsewhere recently they feel the state has left them holding the bag the fact is that they have no answers for us they cant tell us where they got the movers they cant tell us when theyre going to move us theres no Financial Support no compensation tool and the sting in the tail to that. If they insist that everybody moves out. They would expect my can light pay for the demotion and also his hosts. Council chairman stuart eads who runs a camping ground in fairborn said its almost game mongering like many in the community he doesnt trust the data. Whats all public about. Theres other villages beside us that are in the same mess but we are the one the experiment is being followed so were the 1st one to see how help people react to everything its true that fairborn going to be the only town to face imminent danger in coming years over 30 communities in wales alone are dealing with erosion and flooding from rising seas. And infrastructure such as rail and power lines and roads are also at risk the problem is a massive financial time bomb for britains coasts climate experts say. They cant leave it to local authorities because weve had 10 years of all start a fire at a local authorities crippled already in delivering services that budgets have been slashed what this is a huge huge issue thats affected our whole country and it cannot be left to the individual authorities that are already struggling to deliver the solution that meets the biggest nations a lot. Of the residents of fairborn complain that everyones simply passing the buck. Mike and angela say the prospect of a forced evacuation is always hanging over their heads theyre hoping to stay in their current house as long as they possibly can. Meanwhile the historic steam train keeps carrying tourists through the village the tracks run right behind the dike which in future will no longer be reinforced or expanded. Which effectively seals fairborn straight. Coastal towns and cities all over the world are under threat from rising sea levels due to Climate Change its time to do something about it but whats one way of reducing Carbon Emissions in our daily lives is by with cycling we pair visit to the mozambican recycling association that is not only collecting used to pass sick but promoting recycling by involving schools local communities professional waste collectors and even artists lets see how far theyve come. For treats the augusta and her family live in beta collecting Plastic Waste is how she makes a living she and her family lost everything when cycling eat i slammed into the coastal city and the earlier this year. And we were suffering a lot we didnt have enough money to survive so we started picking up ways to recycle and we are in a bit of money with this. 47 year old to treat is one of the around a 100 ways collectors working for 2 recycling associations in bayda every day they take what theyve collected to the womens ngo to the groups aim is to provide both practical assistance for women and protect the environment polina kaner is the president and has led the Organization Since it was established in 2013. This is an association focusing on women with low incomes. So what we do is basically focus on recycling. That not only gives the women an income but also helps to keep our city cleaner. And most of them. Together the women manage to gather around 1. 00 tons of waste every month at the recycling Center Workers sort of package it ready for transport after that it gets sent to an Industrial Recycling plant for processing the sorting facility provides an income for 40 women and 3 and then but the very success of the initiative has led to new challenges. This community used to be very dirty with all the Plastic Waste. Now i see a real difference in terms of cleanliness but that means you dont find much waste in this area anymore. So the collectors have to go further to find material for recycling as theres no longer enough around here. The group is part of the Mozambique Association of recycling or more the association is working to set up an efficient Waste Management and recycling system in mozambique so far 6 regional organizations are taking part and more have signaled interest in joining. When a more started in 2009 the concept was new in the south east african country now 10 years down the line the attitude towards waste has changed. More has changed a lot here since they started their activities in mozambique theyve brought a whole new perspective as regards recycling. And theyve also introduced new infrastructure. Before we had huge amounts of Plastic Waste but we didnt know what to do with it or how to process it. We are recycling is one of the private companies that also profit from the growing interest in recycling they sell on the salty materials to local companies to transform them into furniture and many other useful items a more says that between 4. 60 tons of waste are being recycled every month that might sound like a lot but its actually only the equivalent of 2 percent of the overall waste produced in mozambique so theres still a long way to go to make effective Waste Management a reality on a large scale. In ghana as the amount of land cultivated by Small Farmers grows the amount of pesticides and weed killers use also increases and those products come in plastic containers. Thats right and that is an environmental problem in 2 ways 1st the use of the chemicals themselves and 2nd what is done with the containers once they are empty so often they are used for things like Water Bottles even though they still contain traces of toxic pesticides a local initiative is going to villages to make people aware of these houses. Mahmoud mohammed only keeps an eye out for them this plastic bottles used to contain chemical fertilizers and now pose a danger to people and the environment from as in ghana often leave the used bottles lying around is going to not properly disposed of it can affect the health of the farmer pollutes what our bodies and even. To farmers for. Mahmoud know dean is a journalist and an environmental activist in 2015 he founded an ngo for Climate Change and Food Security focusing on farming he launched a campaign against the use of these bottles here in south for. Farmers have had bad experiences with them i used to grow chemicals on my from and would just leave the containers there that wasnt good at all as one day my grandchild picked one fish water with eat and drank it she found the treatment was very costly it was a big worry fortunately the agric office explained to us that we should not leave the used content as on the farm so now we gathered all and put them in a trice cycle which goes to dump them. Who for course be part of new didnt awareness raising tim he works for the Agriculture Ministry for and passed on his knowledge to the families busy. I mean weve sent off for. A year now and we have been farmers on proper disposal of continuous. Please our families. On. Their families ive been going through the use of the car so. On how to dispose them. Induction of these cases many of the farmers are now also taking more care when using the chemicals on their fields. Before you start to spray you have to wear boots and a proper outfit you also have to use a mask so you do not inherit the chemicals. Then vironment terrorists are trying to get the message across that it would be better to do without the chemicals altogether but it is difficult to persuade the farmers that are gunning for divisors would protect their land better in the long term in particular against drugs a growing problem due to Climate Change its an uphill battle. That we have met across the country are not. Part of. The one percent. That. The activists are showing the firm as are the ways they can help fight the effects of Global Warming for example with Tree Planting initiatives some 500 species have been planted so far. Now Climate Change is taking its toll on the basin in the North Eastern part of my dear temperatures are rising for example the vegetation is suffering and thanks to deforestation they are hardly any trees. Down the region is on the verge of turning into a desert but they are working hard to turn things around have a look at are doing your bit for the city. In the north east of nigeria life is difficult. Islamist militia boko haram forces people to leave their homes. Climate change and deforestation have also taken a toll. And many trees have been chopped down for firewood. As a result the region is on the verge of turning into a desert. But there are people working hard to turn things around. Mohammed barba by tonight has found an Organization Called green sahar international. Since 2015 it has planted around 200000 trees in the region. By tonight also educates. About the impacts of Climate Change. The aim is to restore the conditions that are necessary for agriculture. So that one day these people can go back to their villages and make a living. And how about you. If you are also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet hash tag doing your bit. We share your story. Has made it its mission to fight for the survival of one specie in particular like so many of our feathered friend. Queens risk habitat loss and poaching now. Based in the communities informing farmers and others in the communities about the importance of protecting these majestic creatures. Wherever the current school. Is not far behind he leaves nearly. In Central Kenya the local conservationist is passionate about birds and founded the cranes Conservation Volunteers organization he regularly visits their habitats to monitor their activities. I need to hear the weapons if we see this crazy allow is an indicator that can help heal the rift channels you know and also that calls for protection that we have something that these 200 not just koreans can attest to the area is home to the largest population of gray crowned cranes in the whole country over the years crane populations have suffered divided the klein as a result of human related activity like trampling of chicks by rights talk pushing for made both local and commercial level and collection of eggs but the cranes also disturb the farmers living around the lake. With told me how we. Get to we had forgotten i guess you know how we could exist with the corn cranes on our farm the very destructive when we plant crops they take the seeds would you know needed and would have some i sure like the pens they peel him to the from the hoof. Only door what have you. Reducing conflicts between humans and wildlife is the main work of georgia dome he and his team mates regularly with farmers the conservation is to explains that cranes also have a positive impact on the crops as they eat worms which normally destroy the young plants when harvest time approaches then courage them to guard their funds to protect their crops even convinced porches to become volunteers on his team. When i fish at the lake i take care of the crown of grains in accordance with the governments regulations you. Want to you grow. What i did the birds. The tourists and when they come here they have to develop the area and create bursaries for schoolchildren so i thought id be. So much. Volunteer conservationist also visit schools in the region twice a month this time hes at the market wrecker Primary School where 3 children received this masteries all together 32. 00 best stories have been provided by the Development Fund the team also goes to schools to teach very Young Children about the role that cranes play in the region the lake also became a protected area last year the cranes breed that its show from july to february just before the breeding period starts the quince Conservation Volunteers try to coordinate with farmers to democrats important breeding areas by the lake. Sometimes community to cooperate other times they dont because when. We tell them to screw the livestock during the great season and during their dry season they foster i would say the lake it is minimal so thats the need them to bring their cattle described is how those judge newman works tirelessly to mediate with locals and keep the area protected for the benefit of the great quantity grains and the local population who will benefit from the growing eco tourism.
