coming up next on d, w, news, asia, what these may go say about pakistan's struggle with climate change. while the parish energy has all that and more after a short break to see with us. if you can remember there's lots more on the website . the w. com and also on social media active i'm sarah kelly and berlin. thank you so much for watching. taking the free clinic, ready to learn about sugars
3:16 pm
paralyzed between your societies. computers that are similar to governments that go crazy for your data. explain how these technologies work. so that's how they can also watch it. now the business dw is aisha coming up today, focused ons main goal batteries. production is down due to the devastating floods from last year. it could have a significant impact on the country's economy. we looked at how climate change could be to blame plus boltron is blazing, afraid with it's in vicious environmental plans. it start think climate change with
3:17 pm
forest avenue, both entities the i b to expanded. you're welcome to deed up in use. asia are glad you could join us . i got on from boxes don's wes clemens disaster. the country is still struggling to get back on its feet. mighty survivors are still living and mixture of shelters . millions of children out of school and damaged infrastructure. still hasn't been fully repaired, but there's other damage to that to its main. gr industry a significant revenue on over the country. the production of this. yeah. is reading from the floods of last year. mind go the king, the fruits and focused on loved by all. but failing in the old shots formalism, defend regency loss deals,
3:18 pm
devastating floods have damaged the ceo's mind goes. is it about how to buddy bye. so that the bottom after it rained last year down be one or remain here for months? yeah, they've got a my, i got insect time to which destroyed may go flowers. them a good a good out. by that time we tried to find pesticides to control that, but there weren't any in the market who it was. they had them to. yeah. in 2022 focused on salt to venture rains and flooding that sank. one part of the country's land under water find a substance concluded that focused on heavy rain was made 50 percent more likely by climate change for local families and mangled traders. that nightmare really hasn't ended so far. let me go and just say, we'll go to the zone due to the floods, the water got trapped here and it says salt accumulated in the roots. i may send me . do i might have led to mount formation of the fruit of the flower started falling,
3:19 pm
typically floating at the time of flowering. we stop water supply line so that it grows through residual moisture and becomes fruit to put do not go to is doing much . that was part of political. he estimates the same region good produced, 40 to 45 percent fuel. mine goes the seo focused on as a whole might see a fall of 20 percent. we are thinking that due to climate change, it's not only the vendor but the complex like the other diseases and the best. sometimes it then gives me that, but what does the front, why does that happen? mangled production also suffered loss deal with an extended heat wave before the floods damaged crops. focused on is in fact, one of the world's largest mengel expose a trade that brings in millions of dollars to the country's economy. all of it in
3:20 pm
jeopardy of crop this fail from what i'm doing the bottom under both the jeep and the runs. and i just welcome agriculture is the main stay of many countries in south asia, but use all of that now in jeopardy, due to climate change swell. farmers across south asia can expect more violent weather. so heat waves have already become huntur. kerstell floods, stronger tropical sites. i will get strong the, the not more common. all of these re have a on crops and what makes it a little bit more difficult to degrass. because if you're fond of these changes to the climate also make it less predictable, says difficult to know exactly what's gonna happen. now to really get a sense of scale of the problem that this mountain range and south asia called the him do crush simulators and say this gigantic range of places feeds rivers that essentially supply water, drinking water, agricultural water, more than one of the whole 1000000000 people and this mountain range by 2050
3:21 pm
between one quarter and one 3rd of the ice and that will have melted. and so not for me is impossible to really imagine how that will affect the problem is, i mean, you'll have fast way too much water of the stuff to melt away. overflowing rivers, you have flash plants and then late. so you'll have almost the opposite problem where there's not enough of the source to actually provide for these rivers that say things will dry up. and so these are shots that will reverberate around the whole well, so this will affect the price of over here. and by then what we are, as well as farm is in india and next on today, or the pump elliptic sonata of the, to a painting. and just within that, let's look at buckets on in particular, because last year the country experienced severe heat waves and that was followed by this record flooding. what explains these extremes of temperature so close to each other? yes, i do. my sounds surprising. the idea of having such a hot temperature that i'm having way too much water. but there's 2 ways in which
3:22 pm
these links to the 1st is that if you have really helped right temperatures, then the ground itself takes up. it's really hard for water to get in when it does rain and so the ground becomes less able to actually absorb the water. which means that lots of rain falls in a very short space of time. it disposal flows at floods, then you end up with these catastrophic scenarios. what something the, what level just rises in space and few hours to recollect levels. but the other side of this is that climate change and making both of these 2 things well. so let's start with the heat waves, i mean with already she's to the planet by about $1.00 degrees celsius by dining fossil fuels and releasing these gases that traps heat because of that, every single heat wave that's happening on lab today has become more likely in a bit of time because of climate change, like the still a natural variability, but we've shifted the whole distribution of everything. so things alter, it's more likely we'll get to these record peaks with the flooding. it's a bit more complicated, isn't always super easy to pin down exactly where the climate change by the role of
3:23 pm
what's, what role it played. but we know from one attribution study, but the flooding impact is done with the heavy rains of thought to be become been made more likely because of changes to the climate. so warmer at home moisture, which means when it does rain, more water can fall out to the not countries like buckets done, which has, as has become about an increased risk of climate change. they've always argued for more financial support from the nations, particularly those nations that have been historically responsible for the, for the climate change that has occurred in the planet. how open has the world being at these appeals for financial support. so the rich world has made promises, some of which haven't kept so in 2009 at clements summit and copenhagen, rich countries promised to keep poor ones $100000000000.00 a year by 2020, to do 2 things to cut their inflation and to adapt to the effects of climate change,
3:24 pm
adapt to the effects of all the products they brighten up from us. so by 2020, they haven't made that target and they think now this year they might have made it that we wouldn't know for sure until next year. probably, but there's 2 things that my to hit the 1st is that this money is not nearly enough to at fleet. adopt the climate change your calculation scientist a very clear on that from the 2nd does that lot of it was low. so companies would have to pay back interest on these loans that of supposedly being given out of charity from rich countries. and what happened last year, which really kind of change the pictures of pakistan, what it was still positive was still submerge on the water. out of claimants on it, in egypt, it pushed very hard with other countries as well for rich countries to take responsibility for the damage caused by climate change. so that means not only paying to help in the future, but also to set up a fund from which poor countries could receive money to pay for the damage and loss that's caused by extreme weather events. whether that actually gets filled and who
3:25 pm
pays into it, who gets money from? it is all unclear. we have about 50 seconds live talking south asia di with the climate change. there are 2 things that would need to happen. the fastest the cut as i'm pollution south asia is not a major contributor historically to climate change, but to stop the find a woman. everyone needs to come down to their and the, by the way you are and sorry for countries like india, maybe getting rid of cold is probably the biggest thing that you can imagine. but there's also plenty of other things with agriculture and other sectors to. the 2nd big thing is adapting to the effects of it. so if cities have heat ponds, they can massively reduce the number of deaths that come when heat waves hit and they will hit, they'll keep on hitting. so either way, whether or not we make any progress stuff in climate change, we also need to adapt to the effects. believe it though, thanks so much for coming in today. i do cannot just do the crime winter photo. thanks very much. now boot on is one of the 3 countries worldwide that carbon negative. vast forests covered nearly 3 quarters of the land lock commodity emission between india and china and water from its smoke of
3:26 pm
a peaks provide hydro power. this is the peanuts 2nd to river in west of boots on the small himalaya nation, generates its energy from this river under many others. control kitchen heads up the pool, the hydra electric plant. he's proud that almost all his boot tons, electricity comes from hydro power. the that i think it is, you know, i think the region for us to hundreds is energy and would you didn't use so that you're the head of us delving just as the electricity generated at this plant supplies around half a 1000000 households. hydropower is a renewable energy source and the plant itself is also climate neutral and design to work in harmony with nature. what the systems are, all through the mountains to turn those. so the service levels we don't uh,
3:27 pm
you know, make any decisions. so all in, in baton is also know to, you know, uh, manage all and moments that is so it is a really in nature conservation is one of futons national goals. the country's foreign minister. i agree. yes, it's very nice to have you here. thank you for taking the time. no peace please, that each country has been cub and negative for some years. now, boot tons extensive for us to cover a little industry means that it's a common think it absorbs small carbon dioxide and it produces, it counts. however, cells climate change alone, people also want to set up factories that pollute, but he had to be chosen not to do because we, we faced the realities. but we hope that the bigger countries and also realize that to keep him on doing the things is not sustainable. that was the longer he'd like to see more countries following through towns. example, its constitution for instance,
3:28 pm
states that forest must make up at least 60 percent of the total land area is the one who can coordinate the mini entry project. it's a mr. plant more than a many entries in boot and within the next 3 years. it's another step towards increasing the countries comp and negative a t. but the climate change is making things difficult. i me say look at what you can get some muscle this. yeah, we had to delay planting the trees. somebody's helped me get them at the scene for lack of rain for meant that the ground was simply too dry when the children got. it also meant that many farm is lost. that hobbies to sound like almost what do i need been to get? this is still dry here, but would you in and his team say there is no time to lose. they need to plant as many trees as they can to meet their um fishes targets then plus 1000000 say, he said we started calling our initiative the 10000000 plus project company because we want to plan more than a 10000000 trees within the next 10 years. do you see any tree planted benefits?
3:29 pm
not only pretending, but the whole world. people here know that they can save our plan, it's climate on their own. but what they can do is lead by example. and that does it for today, there's most orders from the region on our website, dot com, forward slash to shout back again at the same time tomorrow, we'll see you then to by the auto 60 full countries, this one, the ultimate homosexuality of nearly half of them. are right here in the world views clash on this street debates and i wrote the 2 policemen will race to detain . you both being eligible. the problem started with religion. i don't think
3:30 pm
responsible for the liars is actually teens. 77. first. what secrets? why behind being discovered new adventures and 360 degrees or and explore fascinating world heritage site dw world heritage 360 now this week on the 77 percent street debate, the question of eligibility in this country has never been questioned because based up in the states, we're not supposed to exist 3, this is when it comes to them before we had the source of every like, all that much. so you so you do what do you have is the united sexualized? yes, yes.
