With power. How a town on the outskirts of berlin is successfully mastering the Energy Transition after the flood, how the effects of Climate Change are causing despair in pakistan. Widespread destruction with many dead and injured Hurricane Ian recently devastated areas in the us state of florida. In 2022, the consequences of Climate Change are being felt around the world with severe droughts and east africa, europe and arts of the us forest fires are getting worse. Heat waves are affecting humans and animals alike. Pakistan has been hit twice this year. In spring, a drought lasting several weeks brought temperatures of up to 50 degrees celsius. Then ex re monsoon rains cost unprecedented floods. Hope is lost. Theres nothing more the doctors can do it. Elisa is dead. I father bashir ahmad world collapses. His 7 year old daughter is gone. I lisa had been battling a fever for days. She had malaria. The family had been trying to find a doctor and medication. By the time they got to the hospital, it was already too late. Did her grieving father makes the painful journey home with his daughters body . So many in pakistan are suffering for this year. Am on the pain is unbearable. Oh, more than 1500 people died in the floods or have lost their lives to diseases in the aftermath. Oh, i got a big bubble. My father died of a fever a week ago, and now my daughter, simply because there are no hospitals or doctors here and i only private ones that we cant afford because i just want to say that no one should have to go through this other guy every one should be able to get help when theyre ill. Tell ya. Oh gosh many day. But the harsh reality is that theres not enough help for the many who needed. The magnitude of the disaster is to huge. The monsoon right much more than the long awaited rain. Its catastrophic flooding has impacted 33000000 people. Many now only have a tent for shelter. The emergency cancer full. Some foreign aid including food and medicine has arrived, but its not enough. Aid workers are doing what they can, but the task is overwhelming. Not spinning us how funny. Were seeing infections on peoples skin, their eyes and throats. Every day. It gets worse because theres not even a basic health care and im going to the people endure it with great strength to your desk, but its heartbreaking to see neil were lacking in everything was out of the people are living in unsanitary conditions. Theyre not getting enough food. They dont have clean drinking water. Its hardest on pregnant women nursing mothers and small children in the fan. In the wake of the floods, a wave of disease is sweeping across the country and in the World Health Organization has called it a 2nd disaster. But yeah, like i said, its in more and more people are coming and we can send anyone away or send them home because these people no longer have a home kid i am pacific at am. The government needs to do something quickly. Ho. Villages have to be rebuilt and houses repair to nadia yet, can i the water that rush down the himalayas was incredibly powerful. This shopping street was turned into a raging river. Livelihoods were wiped out. People were literally up to their necks in water. Survival is now the only thing that matters. Many were killed in the floods. Others barely made it out at the last moment. Essential crops like wheat were destroyed. Many have gone to Higher Ground where theres nothing to do but wait. Some have been here for weeks with little hope of returning home any time soon. They can no longer work and are depended on aid for them. Their house is gone. The cattle are dead. In the fields they once worked, are flooded. They were always poor, but the parents have always been able to feed their family. Now they have to start over from scratch peter huber im this is very hard for my wife and children at up. Its bad here. We cant even wash that. There are no beds for us suddenly, so we sleep on the floor. I mean, but we were brought to this dry place by the grace of our prophet. Otherwise, there were hardly any dry places left for us. Neither ye be alighted was a needy mosquitoes buzz to the air. Theres no protection from them or the diseases they may carry. Yes i. 7 and in the morning, the family has one more worry. The eldest son has a fever. Done general good deal, the juggler got remodeled visible dungeon. Is it . Im scared that a male. Suddenly he wasnt feeling well. A military doctor gave him an injection and said, we better let him sleep, look is rather gum pakistan is suffering crises, wars, and increasingly Climate Change are creating hardship and misery for people like nicea, ahmad, to hell, its not easy to see light at the end of the tunnel on my butt, hearty honey is trying to help him like other young hes doing well. His business is driving and his home town of le whore was spared from the floods. He sees it as his duty to help. Hes organized food drives and takes care of the deliveries himself, hung up goodbye. Shindig that if we just unloaded on the street go than only a few families get everything and others will get nothing at all yet. So to be fair, they 1st give out vouchers to the poorest. Who can then pick up the packages amarion we all feel the bird yet. We have a lot of work ahead of us however you have become good nicky. But we do this for our brothers and sisters in ne, not g, upland yuki bad. Its a test for all of us in mckinney, ne alamahood serve society, a lot of beula mean. And this is also an appeal to the rich among us. And my help in her time of need and julia got it. The packages will keep these people going for a while. They carry them through the flood water back to the islands of Higher Ground where theyve been holding on, and where they must continue to survive. Russias invasion of ukraine has made it clear to europeans how dependent they are on Energy Supplies from abroad. The latest shock came when several Gas Pipelines in the baltic sea were seriously damaged. Many worried that there could be a blackout in the winter despite rising costs and Climate Change, most Energy Worldwide is still mainly generated by fossil fuels. Petroleum accounts for the largest share with one 3rd, followed by coal, and natural gas. But when it comes to electricity production, the share of Renewable Energy is on the rise. In 2021, it was a 28 percent solar and wind power mean more independence. And they could also supply the 840000000 people worldwide, who still have no electricity a small village in germany, south of the capital berlin is proving that a future without dependence on fossil fuel is possible. Mm. Right. I might, im not moment to shalicia people and fell time, have your worries and the rest of germany at the moment. We have our own grid 50 and we make use of local resources. So were not dependent on oil and gas from russia or the arab world. Hotel with hobbs, rebecca bowen. This is the 1st and only fully energy self sufficient village in germany, fed time around 70 kilometers south of berlin has done what many other places can only dream of. For more than a decade, its produced all its own energy, heat, and electricity. Here come from wind, sun and agricultural waste. And thats not all. Weve heard time on the ships as im the people who felt im banded together to operate their own electricity and heating grid. And thats unique. In germany. I audition board found that means they arent reliant on fossil fuels. So their time residents are paying around a 3rd as much for heat and electricity compared to the rest of germany. So how did fair time pull it off . What can other communities and cities in germany and around the world learn from their success . Lets take a look. Do in and Michelle Huffman came up with the idea of producing Renewable Energy back in the 19 ninetys. They started scouting for locations long before wind power was popular ram that we were looking for a place inland with good wind conditions and we found that and felt hired hunger foreign initially fell times 130 residents were skeptical. They worried the turbines might be loud, unattractive, and harmful to local wildlife, but soon they were won over my canadian tying sold muzzles its, we showed them what the project would look like and what it would causal toned in that create a trusted with non like we talked with each other a lot and managed to find compromises with everyone involved with. Its often one of those involved erecting the Wind Turbines, further away from the village than required by law. And was the thing that when you feel like youre part of the journey, when youre able to put in a veto and shape decisions. When you stop worrying so much that somethings going to happen, that you dont want the mock that you know. Soon the 1st full Wind Turbines went up, funded by the hush, hammonds, it was the start of the face time, energy miracle, the hoof to allow any of the 5th one that was built here was a turbine that was paid for by the citizens of fell time and other villages in the area, not knowledgeable, but hiding quinn more than 2 decades on there are 55. 00 turbines. The Community Still plays a role in Decision Making and investment, which has helped maintain support. Yeah, try, dont go, we were the decision on how to finance the whole thing. Also from an Economic Perspective lies with the residents that you need. So they really take responsibility into their own hands. And that means as a fell time residency, i really have 2 seats at the table. One is a customer, and one is an entrepreneurial. Otherwise were done. Yema the wind power produces enough powerful 55000 households way more than the village can use the surplus. 99 percent is sold and fed into Germanys National grid. When did implement full when open was imperfect once, when people began to profit from these guns, shall we say, and who knows . Less than beautiful Wind Turbines. Thus, does the discussion around their more annoying aspects. Ruin started to subside from mrs. It was a problem last no fair time harnesses more than wind and nearby solar park meets the energy needs of roughly 604. 00 person households and the village took it a step further. They wanted to produce their own heat to hello many residents were wondering back van, just like many people are today, how to best heat their homes in winter and what the options are. So fair time built, its owned by a gas plant and an integrated thermal power station. It produces heat with farm waste, such as liquid manure, and may signage supplied by local farmers. That means 260000 few releases of costly heating oil each year. And low is c o 2 emissions. The village also launched its own Energy Company and its own District Heating Network to distribute the heat generated by the bio gas plant. That worked so well that they decided to create their own electricity grid and become completely autonomous. He was a night you whats special about fell time is that the residents have their own grid. Theyre basically buying electricity from the wind park and are actually using that in their houses right here. But it wasnt always easy for Energy Supply as self sufficient. Consumers mean lower profits, theyre looking for saga. At this, the local Utility Company refused to provide access to the grid for the local power plant, or they just didnt want it on the amazon disease. And they said, this little village, no matter what they do. Ah, were not going to give in ms. Kirkland cleaning off now. The residence took matters into their own hands. Each household invested 3000 heroes into the new grid, while another 1700000 euros and seed money came from the e. U and the state of brandenburg the cups indicated that the school there was actually no discussion, but most of us were willing to make this contribution. I did, i have now everyone involved as an entrepreneur and as part of the Decision Making process in managing the grid and setting price. I saw at 1st one local Utility Company was reluctant to buy fare times excess electricity, citing safety concerns that was until a storm caused a wide spread power outage and failed time was the only place where the lights were still on. The Energy Project also brought more jobs into the village, and new families moved in like the yellow toss were all ready reaping the rewards. Linguists. Those are the biggest difference weve noticed is that our electricity bill is now half of what it was. Its not just new residents who are thrilled by fair times pioneering spirit, thousands of visitors from all around the world. Also come every year to see how it all works or levant, though it might. Weve been looking at this process and thinking about how we can reduce our dependence on other countries for power, eating, and so on or not. Or that weve been learning about how we can develop self Sustainable Energy and Renewable Energy policies in our communities. And in our countries, louise and goods are many has different regions with different conditions. And its the same for the groups who come visit us from abroad. All open arms from africa, for instance, are especially interested in solar power, as well as self sufficient ways to bring electricity to small remote villages or in the league. You one being there time shows that making the switch to renewables doesnt happen overnight. And that local authorities currently bureaucracy stand in the way you had noticed. I think you just took a few more when we were lucky that the politicians and our case said, Brandenburg Department of commerce said back then. Okay, if youre proposing a solution, if you please, theres nothing that really allows it, but theres also nothing that forbids it was this week. So just try it and prove to us that it worked life that they gave us the green line and thats what made it all possible in oclock or it. And you must be vague. Its about not standing in the way of people who want to achieve something. Approval procedures could be digitized and made easier. It sometimes takes 4 to 10 years to get approval for a wind park. Sometimes even longer, we wont have a rapid Energy Transition like that. I like nor will, will be able to expand Renewable Energy production the way the government is currently hoping on pieces. I think the wrenched with one other your dream true. And it would be nice if the government didnt just announce the Energy Transitions, but also thought it through properly and said, lets take a decent realized approach. And con would simply, you could have lots of little fell times powering, all of berlin in florida. Is separate energy grid might not always be the answer, but causing some of the bureaucratic hurdles could go a long way to helping communities reap the benefits of home grown green energy. According to the World Health Organization around 1000000000 people world wide live with physical or mental disabilities. Its often hard for them to find their place in society to be accepted and to find work. But it is possible and it can be a positive and successful experience for all involved. 6 30 am.

A few years ago, laugh i gave a added jam to his product range. Its also been selling well. And that makes the people here proud is one thing is clear, ours is the best. We make it with a lot of love. And thats really important. Whether jam or yogurt, the same thing always applies. People are more important than boosting productivity. When demand increased, plaza heater could have bought more machines to speed up production. Instead, the Company Bought more pots and hired more workers. Making things by hand is not cheap. Love i gave as yogurt costs 30 percent more than the competition. And yet its the Market Leader in catalonia and the ble, eric islands. Maybe because the ron greedy and sir so fresh from cal to container. Everything is on site. And its been that way for decades, regional and sustainable, long before it was the trend. But as to who was making the yogurt, most consumers had no idea it in mosque in wisconsin. Forgot me like people to buy our products because theyre good. No, because they feel pity dinner. Ah, in supermarkets, were competing against big Multinational Corporation in the similes.

Either way, theyre confident the company will be here for at least another 40 years.
