Where authorities predict bots of the city could become permanently submerged by 2015. Im on good day lives in amman by suburb, and he glad the monsoons have ended. His horn is habitable, no. But the ground floor apartment, he lives in, was completely flooded just a month ago. Bother those men in within 10 minutes, the house filled with over a meter of water whose gloom. Thats why were 10. Somebody flooding every year in geneva. The 4 did he shot on his foreign camera shows family members wading through dirty water looking for various belongings. Every season drains him and his neighbors of thousands of euros to bear for home repairs and brings uninvited guests the long next snakes and mosquitoes that come in with the sled want to go to the last time. There were 3 or 4 snakes in a house, marking with learning do. It also brings in mud and all sorts of garbage or we can go, we also get skin diseases because of the skin. Go problem gather that flooding and extreme rainfall have increased 3 full years since the 950. 00 and scientists, a Global Warming is playing and increasingly significant role when the areas one work it can or more more served for a long time. So what happens is that theres a lot of emotional building now. And ben, it is so saturated it, were dance all of this water in a short sparrow. So rich are so thin, heavy to extreme rain for in this regions. So question, gosh, is an example weighs a mom base, its on the western coast. So it bear the brunt of the mountain tell, do they move in from the ocean . There are several factors which disadvantage the city with rising sea levels. Its forecast to be under 3 feet of water by 2100 winder hearings. And this has to get stretched out into the sea for a while. But when the sea level is rising year by year, the water that gets flushed out into the sea, it takes a long, long time for the water to get flushed out. So that is because when multiple extreme weather events act together, mondays rivers dont have that the he said, boy, sad or she wider and meaty once dreamed the region. But as the city has grown from a cluster of fishing hamlets to becoming in the us financial capital, migrants from all over the country have moved in. In the process, the rivers have become blocked and polluted. Ocoee did go paths of 80 walks on, slowing down urban flooding and its impact of via glue really were good driven, meander and generally take a big dart gun. Libya, im sure youve seen that as dixon. S. Done a receipt done with the large cove. Now people i need of land, so they start straightening the rivers near by under the build, cutting them off at unnatural angles for gum going, the thing is you cant deliver what to do in bonnie, in any language. You know what i mean. You can decide whether it takes a left on, on a right done to live. So especially when theres a lot of water. The river crosses old man, mid boundaries war and this is the main reason it floods. So this is the mean, these and museum have murder bib, adobe re upped, i would go to 30 with the cities. Mangroves also once formed a natural barrier, which absorbed excess flood water, but theyre being cut down for development. One of the cities biggest shopping complexes be casey, sits on a former mangrove swamp. And then theres a legal encouragement and bad planning. In its latest attempt to tackle these problems, the government has put a committee together to look into all the contributing factors. I strays coming up with a Climate Change plan. So for way of doing action plan and they are ready to talk with scientists so that they have a plan which is, you know, science base plan on pro to which i think is white also do change plans are based on the bus tell the place or a sub manifested in the past, but that warm d was, you know, if theyre not or enough that once theyve got us from future events, let me do a damn thing to make more people connect with the seduce natural flood protections, give go both of 80 started drivel march in 2018. This is important to understand what citizen communities develop and understanding of the local environment and the impact of Climate Change. This is one of the handful of platforms, residents are now using to demand change. An action in a city with bleak climate. Projections one by the decimals are just some of the many 1000000 people in india who stand to lose if Climate Change continue unchecked. Already its effects, a heating people in the rural areas, heart issues set to be among the world region bearing the brunt of the impact will socially and economically this year. Devastation is one of the many effects of Global Warming. The fact loans of 20202021 ravaged the indian seed office, spangled millions of people lost their livelihoods. What can we do . We are dependent on relief now. We will have to leave this in the funds to find work. There is nothing left to the east, an indian state is one among many regions in the country already living with the consequences of the climate crisis. Hotspots or exceeding weather event, drought cycles, but also their expense. So what that means is that, you know, the war and bonds are already facing the front of a regular rain patterns and prolonged droughts have affected the lives of millions of people. The extreme that has inflicted heavy losses on farmers and the agriculture sector. Indian economy. As a whole will suffer over the next 50 years. The service industrious and the construction and transport sectors combined could respectively hemorrhage 11. She didnt us dollars. Rito tourism and manufacturing are also going to be hard hit. If india ignore the climate crisis. In 2015 more than 190 countries agreed in paris to limit Global Warming to 1. 5 degrees celsius. India pledged to reduce its Carbon Emissions and increase forest cover that would absorb up to 3000000000 tons of carbon dioxide. The country wants 40 percent of its electricity to come from renewables by 2030, and india seems to be on track into the other 10 were less than 20 megawatts. We now have more than 100000 megawatts of windham sorta and biomass condition. In many cases, india has sunlight and abundance, and labor is cheap to d, india generates the most affordable solar power in the world. But thats not enough to satisfy the countries growing energy needs. 2 thirds of its electricity still comes from fossil fuels like gold. The country has made no pledges to phase it out. On the contrary, the government is opening more coal mines and called power plants than ever before. India is continued re lines on coal based power makes the world turn biggest polluter after china and the u. S. Export it is likely that india will become the main emitter of Greenhouse Gases in the 2nd half of the century. If it doesnt take a different pop, you can ask other countries and in this doing so to, for example, to promote Technology Transfer as 11 element. If we are not able to to bring also campus like in the on board, there will be 1. 00 warming already really in 11. 00 decayed or 15 years from, from hours. This would mean a clover failure. A big country like india needs to move more decisively towards a 1. 00 degrees celsius spot for itself. And for the world, only been there is a chance of getting the Global Climate crisis under control. The battles agreement create an obligations that states have to live up to that open channels. Legal action over Climate Change to the activism is mostly with the book on the streets. But some of the biggest climate victories are scored in court. Bending court cases could get a boost from a recent woo and Human Rights Council resolution. It recognizes access to a healthy and sustainable environment as a fundamental right. People all over the world are suing governments and corporations of a Climate Change. And theyre winning. This man made legal history. Ask ali gary is a lawyer from pakistan. Like many other developing countries, it is being hit particularly hard by Climate Change. For years people they have suffered from torrential rainfall, floods, and droughts, amongst other things. And this is bound to get worse. So back in 2015 like i refiled a petition with the revolutionary arguments. Its that the government wasnt doing enough to protect that citizens from the effects of Climate Change. And in doing so, it was violating the human rights. I never realized, or even tor expected that it would get as big as it did. Friday was to a large extent in our own dorm, but that ever really its target. The high court agreed with him and his team and ordered the government to step up action, and it set up a Supervisory Committee to ensure that happens. That was a real breakthrough. And its one of the early cases using suing rights arguments and using them very successfully to convince the court that they do have the jurisdiction. And that is within that allocated to be catherine hyams, the co author of a major report on climate litigation. While all this was going on in pakistan, another case made headlines, environmental group, or hender, was ring the dots government with a very similar argument. They said by not lowering emissions faster, it would endanger peoples lives in the future. The case went all the way to the country supreme court. It eventually upheld the decision that by 2020 the government should cut Greenhouse Gas emissions by at least 25 percent below 1990 levels. The court said the dutch state must protected citizens, human rights, more specifically the rights to life and the right to respect for private and family life. But wait a 2nd. How are these connected to Climate Change . Well, let me give you 2 examples. Extreme heat waves already claim lives every here. So just sitting back and doing nothing to stop temperatures from going up even further, would breach peoples right to life or take rising sea levels. Hundreds of millions of people on islands or in coastal regions might lose the homes in the near future. This breaches their rights, respectful privates and family life. In those contributing t Climate Change, i say, investing in fossil fuel infrastructure or subsidizing fossil fuel companies. And by failing to regulate the activities of others, a, allowing a big painting entities to keep good eating governance or failing in that responsibility to protect their citizens from human rights hands and come with Climate Change as caligari and offender relied on human rights as the central argument in their cases, and in doing so, they really pushed open the door for cases and other countries. In germany for example, activists took the government to court over its Climate Action plan, and one germany now has to cut emissions a lot faster. And in australia, a court ruled the environment minister has a duty of careful young people when, for example, deciding whether to approve coal mine expansion planning a group of young people, including swedish climate activist. Without soon burke failed to petition with the un committee on the rights of the child, except that argentina, brazil, france, germany, and turkey violated their rights as children by not taking action on Climate Change. But the Committee Said they must 1st bring lawsuits and the National Courts of these countries, human rights are universal, which is why its very likely that well see a lot more of these cases in the future. And actually not just against governments. A dance course is found that shell has a legal responsibility for Climate Change shall, will have to cut their emissions a landmark decision with far reaching implications for environmental policy worldwide in may 2021 Dutch Environmental Group mill. You defend c celebrated a huge victory against the oil and gas company sale, one of the top 10 climate polluting companies in the world court, i think, to be held that shows Climate Policy was so poor as to be unlawful. And thats groundbreaking. Poor benson is a lawyer at client earth and environmental law and geo. The Court Ordered shell, which says it will appeal to cut its emissions by 45 percent by the end of the decade. Its the 1st time that a Corporate Group has been ordered to, in essence, comply with the goals at the power agreement. The court called sales current Climate Policy, intangible, undefined and non binding. And said the company was therefore in danger of violating its duty of care. The grounds were once again human rights and what the court is saying there is that the interest that are served by its decision, i any fundamental protections for people on this planet, protection of the climate, those interests out why shows commercial interest. Ah, experts say litigation can only be one part of the solution to the climate crisis, but with success is being scored in courtrooms all over the world. Its clear that from now the legal battle is a Winning Strategy. Ready ready from a Winning Strategy in the court to one in the Renewable Energy sector here in india, where the state grid is notoriously unreliable. Its a huge problem for businesses large and small in could not cost state capital. Private companies are stepping up to fill the vacuum with decentralized solar power. Dr. Jody is working on a new sickly. The metal needs to be shaped by a hammer and then he did and cooled down multiple dimes before it is just the right shape and strength. For the past 40 years, hes needed help to get his machines running. His wife demonstrates how she used to rotate a crank shaft to regulate the flame for many hours every day. Now that function is performed by this little regulator that control the solar powered mortar. 2 years ago, the investor, 16500 rupees, almost 200 euros in the set up with me there. Now that we have the solemn motto, i dont need to trouble my wife any more. I do too. She suffered from fatigue and body.

Does deal with gilsbar, marta than get karla. The blacksmith and his family live 20 kilometers south of bangalore city. Most of the 7000 People Living in their neighbourhood are connected to the national grid. But here, like almost all over india, power cuts are a daily occurrence in the state of could not take on the sell go Foundation Offers support for those who rely on a Steady Energy supply. They had small scale entrepreneurs to buy solar powered systems. Sell co pays one 3rd of the costs with the rest financed through a micro loan. Today their staff are helping with the maintenance of the battery and the solar unit. So growth mainly oh, working closely with there are no bank and other the Financial Institutions and done are so we are, we are mainly what are the skins available for the white glove mailed . We will be youll be in the community or deb this games as well. As get them are, get their financial linkages in. There are much lender will go to bank. So go has now helped out around 3000. 00 small on to plenty of income. Not accosted daddy farmers saddle. Shiva has also installed big solar panels on his roof to be saved from power goths and not be dependent on fossil fuels anymore. Even when it rains he can use solar power that is stored in the battery. He used to spend a lot of money on gasoline to run the milking machine needing one liter of the fuel every single day. None of the machines run on solar power. He has been able to employ more workers and to increase milk production significantly less room in our dairy farm. We use solar power for cleaning the cultured and for melting the cold. We have installed a light as well. Maybe things are better and i work, i mean i started with duke hours and do cause. Now i have 29 cars and all. Everything is good for them to somebody very down below it. Back in bangalore data jody is now selling the sickle. His profit has risen by 30 percent since he bought the solar powered blower, as it enables him to produce the tools faster. This had the whole family during difficult times. His wife tells us a password diode and its been hard to save money in the past year name our children were out of work. After the pandemic began, no one offered them a job on the line. But the solar power machining provided help in saving our family from starving. Wonder no one war, valet of florida. These do centralized electricity systems could help smaller communities and entrepreneurs to improve their livelihoods. And income, but they can also play an Important Role in india, transition towards the cleaner energy mix. The badass agreement was on the 4th time world countries set commitments to solve a common problem. 10 years ago, 74 members of the un pledged to restore millions of square kilometers of the was reinforced by 2030. Our rebuttal looks at how its going. The way the trees are disappearing at an alarming rate. In brazil alone, 4 and a half football fields of primeval forest, lost every minute. Globally, forests of shrimp by 10 percent over the past 30 years. And yet these forests are essential to survival. Play slow the global rise in temperature, produce oxygen and bind carbon dioxide. A mixed forest that as well managed, provides, would, and creates prosperity and jobs. Reforestation involves planting new young trees. Like in this nursery, where oak tree coatings are being used to raise up new forest. Can the worlds forests be restored . 10 years ago, representatives from many countries met in the gym and city of bon, where they agreed to restore, deforested and degraded landscapes. It was called the bon challenge. Each country set its own goals. Countries all over the globe committed to planting 1500000 square kilometers of new forest by 2020, a huge undertaking. Thats an area about half the size of the indian subcontinent. But thats not all by 2030, theyre aiming to have planted up to 3500000 square kilometers. Thats like covering an area larger than the whole of india with trees. Its the Worlds Largest ever reforestation program, from peru in andes to countries across africa. New forest are appearing. India is also taking part me over all the bond challenges succeeded only in slowing the pace of deforestation. And so a Global Forest continue to shrink. Over the last decade alone, 470000 square kilometers of forest disappeared. Thats an area largest in switzerland. Many experts agree that the goals of the bon challenge are not being achieved, partly because of ongoing deforestation. What does the Organization Behind the initiative think of it all. It is a tragic thing because obviously restoration is not an answer to everything. Restoration has to go hand in hand with protection of the forests that, that remain, you know, was never intended to take any attention away from that. Germany didnt commit to any goals in the bon challenge. A 30 percent of the country is already covered with forest. However, most of it is monoculture, so the forestry authorities are gradually planting a mixed forests. Much mode is decently sto below. You can give us a mixed forest is much more resistant to pests and climate stress and is much more valuable to the entire ecosystem. Because many more species can establish themselves here, a mixed forest is also much better for building up ground water for the condition of the humors and nutrients in the soil and the owners, wallet, or food in goat boarded as vipers is a mixed forests require more work but also create more revenue from timber to these commercial forests that most bon challenge participants are focusing on. Even if many nations are behind on their goals, a start has been made. Its vital that reforestation continues creating a Sustainable Planet is not one of the options anymore. Its the only option we have if we hope to thrive in our ecosystem and co habit with other living organisms. Think about that and ill see you again next week from all of us in india and germany.
