Sandra. Hi, chris, and i really looking forward to todays show and especially to a very fast segment on the part of women in ivory coast. I am sandra co homes at 3. Nobody writes yet incompetent. Youve done to on here some of the other topics that well be looking at on the program equal to is a changing so much lives in front of the french capital keeps. Its cool. Despite the rising temperatures on from gone, the house started to conquer its mountains. Of west how much do you think a group of women is capable of achieving you may be amazed at to see what communities in northern ivory coast are accomplishing through quarterly to auction, full the environment on beyond. Now weve petes you. Curiosity. Here comes the women of non cuming, now a quick check to ensure they have enough provisions. Then these members of a womens cooperative set off on a 15th told me to johnny bit terrain in these parts of ivory quotes can be quite rough, especially during reading seasons. But even told them 3 of us can stop the women. Upon arrivals, they collect nuts from sheer trees, which veiled time into she about to it is used in cooking on cosmetics and salt off top on the walls market. But the women sign scenes of devastation to, even though this is a protected forest from us, of cut down fees to plot fields, or strip them to sell the book. In traditional medicine, she, a buck is used to treat malaria and stomach. Its much adult, bought the trees via out and die. Many of these women one slow t bucks too, but now she and thats provide them with the more environmentally friendly pulse of income for our kids. So ill be out on the whole, since we joined the cooperative, weve completely stopped cutting barn. We used to cut a lot. I think sometimes we even heard ourselves well removing in the board and without their bar, patrice done or okay, so now we do everything we can to protect the trees for kids in 2021 a center to process she and thats a set top in the village of water in my do a lot. So some 200 women walk here in a cooperative called non cons mina. Always take together. The co operative us truck, a Purchase Agreement to the gun, a best company, but the aims to empower women in this region. As it is august season, the women gather and write as many knots as they come later and cook them to make she about to the corporate, the buzz being organic, certified its processing facility costs around 60000. 00 euros. Most of which came from the international donors, including the e. U. Last t, as in tab production has been almost completely sold. See if im through them all the women in the village are pleased. I think before we will always travelling the right to the boat. Wed like barea to sell tree bach and we had to leave our husbands and children behind on my level. Now we can stay in the village without families. I mean we have look and are in money on the so were happy or no ones done. The popular from Savannah Fruits Company has a Regional Office to handle the corporate team, she about to International Sales and going well thanks to the she a bought as a gunning certification. Centralizing, production on one side was key to the process, and ive been shooting them all, any fun. The women used to bring their shane notes back from the bush and store them in a corner in their houses. It was usually the place where they stored chemical fertilizers for their fields or where children would play or for the women also process the notes at home or see amazing, but the quality suffered to that there was too much contamination when they tried to do it all at home and it was simple for the company and the strong guys who came to south to sign amazing. Besides the High International of the month old guns she about to here in the Regional Center of the color. There is to a brisk tread in 3 buck and roots using traditional magazine. At least 2 big truckloads leave here each week. Bone for 5 requests financial copy told me not to what tara used to sell to bucky and was often away from her funding for the long periods of time. Now that shes a member of the womens cooperative thats no longer necessary. She can also afford to buy better food for how many i invest in fish lab. Yeah. And you know, i, the, we come here every wednesday when its market day and the color. Yeah. Before we never had enough money out of it, but now its best to pass on. If i was able to buy 2 crates of fish, i think that i can re sell in the village. A lot of go on last week. I, youre not as over. Got that as youre in the project. We received 10000 francs and i use them to buy vegetables on that. I got was that so it will not know that the extra food is a welcome contribution and i mean, not to over time as us, but the lead gross human caution thats hes or the wife also walks in the corporate event since both women now and more money that lives respect has gone for a month. I think i did my buy. My wife helped me buy a sheet for debowski. Thats kind of the sacrifice or yes little and they contributed to the purchase of some capital that do what i do. My wifes, ive also really helped me to pay for school fees, so i recognize the value of the co op and of i dont want them to get the final. The women are gaining influence in other areas. They often come across fields of fumes and caution, not illegally planted by local men in the collecting zones. Now the supervising n g o. As i look at them, uh, frontier is quick. He led me to a a which is off limits to anyone, but the corporate to the frontier guy lives in the women who own the living gathering. Shane us in this area wont allow their husbands or any other people to come in here. Im trying chrome just went to the web posting so thought to me to ill plan is to certify the largest possible area as a bio diversity zone. Nothings only business is level that will help us to more effectively protect this land and enable its restoration to pull up in mental status. What else you call you to the shade trees, bring us respect and in return we protect them. Now the villages, respect us and value our work, its walk that not only protects the forest, but also helps women and their families. Proof that Environmental Protection can benefit everyone. Staying on the topic of agriculture, we know head over to run to some they goals, make walk a lot easier. Bought the engines are often nodes and pollute. Weve exhaust fumes, so is dont really progress a good cause to ascend dropped was as its done. So the only option available to many looked into 3 d oxy and full tract uh, is a diesel powered vehicle. But now there are more environmentally friendly alternatives in africa as this project in run that shows. Its just a normal working day for members of the do core and cooperative nicky, galle, the village is still the a fields by hand. The many help is a busy for weeks chuckled at the shock cultivating a large area like this using just hose is difficult. We do it because theres no other options. If we had a cold of ation machine quantum, we could produce more with less effort to 0, few tractors around. But also in the older vehicles that we no longer wanted to do, they tend to be noisy and the diesel is also not always available. And rise in fuel costs means that the often economically on viable from the outside. The solution looks remarkably similar to a 2. 2 contractor with a 27 postcard engine. But the motor is electric, the pilot. A gentleman call me cuz developed this e tractor prototype along with the universe of to galley and the g. I said German Development agency, its a convert that dies with tractor and to and electric truck to you see, we just replace the Diesel Engine with an electric motor and put the battery on top of that. And that youll see the sloping desk. Youll see the 2nd battery on this desk and when you come in here you can move forward them back. And then with that you can release the battery and so look back and put the full battery on the tractor itself and can then resume working. The batteries are charged using solar energy, solar electricity isnt just clean. It can also be used of great early off of route one days actually connected to the grid. Burnett, my ends between and his team from the, the best deal for one day, a working on making the batteries more robust so that the track to consume go to work on the dusty some of the fields. Rhonda needs it that fall under control americanization to be user friendly because of full or using the the way the police are further the 8 to maximize the productivity agricultural product. Tuesday is the one that has to increase its every cultural productive. Its it to help feed its rapidly growing population long periods of drunk linked to Climate Change or increasing the pressure to make finding more effective and sustainable. The fact that the track to is intended for use and more remote areas is a particular challenge for the developers in the team of fi w engineer who the language the main point is to make an electronic contract or as simple and easy as possible. Because it should be easy to operate. And the other thing is this, when it is simple and easy to maintain and to retail, to make the check to suitable for working for london fields. The prototype has to be further improved and is so the team of developers traveled through the country speaking to potential future uses wherever we want to input how thats successful debate design and what 3 to be the task of that that does collect stuff. And we also want to take into account some activities that can bid that anybody thats correct and plowing isnt the only job the tractor should be able to tackle here. Remember when to productivity of the funding areas can only be increased if other foaming jobs can be automated, as well. The developers of testing whether it can be harnessed to help irrigate the products to them. We have testing the problem being well putting it on an electric truck. So you can use it for Code Division using your, your plow that could be a display. Then you can also hook up the planter to roll for planned tides, good food, then you can use it for planting and then other tasks. Then we can use the truck that is for spring, that is your Crop Protection for pest. And this is a task that have been counted out, mine would be up to now many from us could not imagine that the tractor is going to be ready any time soon. But they do realize what a difference might be. Sure, i dont know if there really is such a tractor and its available to us. It will be seen as a liberator for farmers, because we wont have to work so hard to get our work done. The chapter is going to be ruled out in 2024. The idea is that it will be purchased back into the village rather than an individual found that managed by cooperative the vehicle that will make a lot of task easier. So dont forget to bring with over 20000 inhabitants space quick color, which is part of these is one of the most densely populated cities in europe. Dr. Probably feels nice and close the in cold the wolf, but ask them preachers climbed as a result of Climate Change. The c d c t it up. So how permissions trying to keep the cool eco reporter to a tool, the town, to find out. Paris the city of love has long been tories stream the budget despite his l. Ramons on hot summer days come feet hodge, to brief concrete roads and buildings turn the fence capital into an urban heat. Island. Paris is warmed up by 2. 3 degrees celsius, on average since 1885 compared to 1. 7 degrees in the rest of france, according to recent studies. And so the town hall is now investing tens of millions of yours to help tool down the city. Whats your date . Exactly . So this is a model, paris. Tell me what is say specific about this city. One is, you know, its easy to explain more just a week or just this is a historic city built for a moderate climate. And one of the most densely build cities in the world. And thats why its like an oven. Fine, more so than places spread out over a large area and present that is the can now send my time here is already open for swimmingly. Today, after next years olympic games, we plan to open 3 bathing areas on this and river wanted one plan is to replace concrete with earth that can soak up rain watering, cool down the air, will also insulate public buildings. You know, we see to tom pulls on the end of us, you want to know, but smaller, if you mutual, i mean simple. Many squares have already gone green, like the plaster on us you or this round about in the south of paris, which is being transformed into an urban forest. Since trees are also key to quoting down to city and the resistance with not only become an open s swimming pool, its already making a cooling contribution. This eco friendly cooling system is quotes pressure to putting a network of underground water pipes that is connected to water tube systems in over 700 buildings across the city. We pay visits to one of its main plans. This one tie canada, the sums push our spaces to through the system, to go to schools by refrigeration units, which needs help in the price taxi dot, he says dissipated into the sam. Its also a place to as a country. Second, the system can seem to office much electricity is a conventional conditioning unit. Whats more, not electricity comes entirely from renewable energy, mainly from solar panels. Today, the network has 90 kilometers this type of the Company Plans to triple that over the next 2 decades. Pressure on the tiny is already helping to clean places like the new museum and power as townhomes. But air Conditioning Systems that use river water cons be endlessly extend. It says no gun called on this a french expert on oven time. Instead of taishan, they need their system systems like the fresher perry will know the rest of the water. I know im not certainly safe up to a certain threshold to protect like who bio diversity or anything, not going to watch the cold you. So the systems cold down an entire city is on cell phones and so we have to choose the building. So cool with them. Before did you say that . You mentioned that you sound back to me in the future special deposit. You will also be leading to schools. Some of them are already enjoying the benefits of green, a streets and pedestrians science and across the city. Cars increasingly sharing the streets with bicycles. You can already side to almost all the powers on large like highways like this one, and the city will add another 50 fonts. Can all mentors of bike was over the next 3 years. But not everybody is happy with the bicycle boom, which is leading to more traffic jams in busy areas. Thats why plan is need to take the needs of critics and local communities seriously. So i think we need to make sure our plans are accepted, involve local people and explain the initiative. The comments are from focus on the technological side of climate caught up taishan. But the Human Factors and so important, thats when you sounds like new jersey wizard, we will do all of the plans are less controversial, like this new installation that provides change when the sun is high to people in a low income neighborhood. And then most of paris, so that dont feel that youll do a degree. It was important to us, the ones that can be up to 10 degrees cooler under the roof and weve installed a new spray found and over there, you just need to push this button and it sprays water for about 20 seconds. But whats the, did you feel the water right above that . So to get it dropped, bodies invented new business. We were installing 24 roofs like this, and 73 spray fountains across paris. Theyll help us get through the summer on top of our existing heat measures. When they paid our heat plan includes regular checking in on Vulnerable People and offering spaces, such as on town halls where they can cool measures like these will become even more important in the future. If some us in paris continue to heat up, i must say i quite like the idea of harris cooling down even further with more shades, more spray fountains and small by cranes that way the city was suddenly phase enjoyable. Even with temperatures continuing to go off by any places here in africa trying to make cities, communities of whole countries for its full Climate Change for its spots gone. Those struggling with garbage which is known to pollute the soil, to an air caused less than damage to the environment. And people only 10 percent of gunners, west east collected and on the goals so full of treatment to find a comprehensive solution to address these challenges. Hybrid west energy plant has been viewed, the country has a great hopes for this pilot project. And this Waste Sorting facility is still something of a novelty in gun. But the plants here does even more. Some waste is used to produce electricity and complex facilities like this come out to be able to help us and be able to able to collect uh ways and make good use of the widths in a way you realize that one of them has to do with job creations, so people want people in the community will not be engaged in the collection of the ways which will actually be sent to the community to actually be utilize the facility is having a crucial purpose. Gotten as waste problem is huge. 14000. 00 tons of garbage generated every day and only 10 percent of that is collected. Its a problem thats result in Greenhouse Gas emissions. The spread of disease and even contributes to flooding and in fact, waste is a valuable resource. Once its processed. Someone and rhetoric is a salma. He and hes son, now use composed made of gotten increased on the me field a little bit more so by me using come before i started using my problem, most of my crops about my yield was very last year. I know, but assuming your significant by the office did a lot of mates this year. Last year i had about 10 bags, but this years increase to 20 bags. Yeah, yeah. So the complex has been helpful for me. The money to content intent, intent accomplished, is made in the hybrid waste to Energy Plants near the city of kumasi, where waste is also used to produce electricity from bio the solar power plants produces 400 kilowatt enough to supply 500 household. The 1st of its kind in government, it costs 5800000 euros and was mostly funded by the german government. The plant was also developed with the help of government know how theres no shortage of waste thats can be used. Its brought in from the town over can cuba so in a day because i spent phones and, and at the end of the day we expected to obtain about 50 cubic meters of gas. The plants doesnt handle metal, but Plastic Waste gets shredded and sent elsewhere for. So i think the organi
