had pushed back on basic climate since they were kicked out in 2022, giving australia chance to finally clean up its act. but it was the actions of the old look that gave australia the reputation of the climate villain. when we turn up to international meetings, we always get the wooden spoon we're always cold out as a legged. this is take crowley. she studied australia's climate policy or the last decade how policy positions, if you look rate between the lines, they all wise, well will do anything, but actually kind of missions will do anything but actually reduce the amount of coal we're exporting. we do anything but make a profit transition. the most obvious reason for australia, solar progress is it's co oil and gas industries. and the power it's lobbyists, wheeled over politicians, the media. and to make matters worth australia,

some of the week of political finance laws among rich countries. in the last election, unidentified political donors gave the big party for more than $19000000.00 australian dollars. now this money comes from down with, with all sorts of interest. but what's outrageous that australians have no idea which industry the buying influence, it's very difficult to disentangle that level of influence, you'd have to do something about strengthening political lobbying laws, implants were done, i should most for stop. never country been so badly by extreme weather. it seems strange that people haven't demanded these governments stand up to the fossil fuel industry. but there is a good reason for this. a pos is on media with one site, downplaying climate change. first, have a look at this payment going from the climate council, a short strategies, emissions really quick like a difference. a surprisingly large chunk of australian meteor than the ha of one

powerful madam. the 3 biggest newspapers are in by rupert murdoch, the 91 year old media mogul behind fox news in the us. his company news cost radio, also in the tv channel sky news, australia murdock's papers have historically so doubt about scientific fact and attacked policy that could cut pollution and the coverage of policies to stop global warming was twice as likely to be negative than positive things have started to change, at least a bit. in 2020, rupert murdoch's youngest son, james cold out his father's media empire for climate denial as bush by the ravaged australia and then he quit. yet later, the company surprised everyone with a campaign to highlight the benefits of cutting emissions new school papers on battle involved new editorial position this morning with a 16 page rep around urging action on climate change. the company is moving away from open climate denial, but is still pushing to delay action. one argument that has worked particularly

well is the idea that fighting climate change will cost australian jobs. australia's home to some of the world's biggest mining companies. the industry makes up about 10 percent of the countries g, d, p, and politicians, journalists, and business executive shout about this loudly. a proposed game is already threatening future contracts, putting the jobs of $500.00 staff at racing with our capital projects with that project with no job. so net out about to trade off their jobs any more than we're finding new jobs for fossil fuel work because it's important. but the role that coal, oil, and gas plays, way smaller than australian think is perception that fossil fuels are really crucial to the strain economy in terms of jobs, is fundamental in sort of narrative, again, climate action. but really like, it doesn't really stack ha, in, in, you know, in practical tens. this is climate timeless to meet for even keta superman. she

found australians over estimate the size of gas and oil industry employment by a factor of $58.00. it's a similar story for coke. people think coal mining makes up 30 percent of g d p. it's actually 10 times less. the weird thing here is that not only does australia have enough sun and wind to make loads of renewable energy, it also have huge deposits of mineral that a key to cleaning up the economy, like copper and lithium. and despite all the dial, australians are pretty supportive of stopping climate change, which given the fires and floods than droughts that they're living through maybe isn't say surprising. the australian institute study from 75 percent of australians are concerned about climate change. 79 percent one to phase out coal plants. those are pretty large figures that show the opinions of australians that maybe doesn't step up so much with this idea that a salience on the whole on climate denies that mindset played

a big role in the last election. the new government has set a target to cut emissions 43 percent by 2030, from that 2005 levels. now these targets are still too weak to stop the planet heating 1.5 degrees celsius. the level of lead. a said they tried to info, but it would get it down to about 2 degrees. but us might have higher ambition. the new government have 2 big problems. the 1st of the number of fossil fuel projects that plans to build. australia has a 117 new fossil fuel projects in the pipeline. and so if those get approved, if those go through, that's going to blow all of our emissions, you know, over any limit that we says. but the big problem is the reliance on carbon offsets to clean up the economy. the government wants to make industry emit less, c o t, f, each good. it produces, the limit will shrink about 5 percent each year. but instead of forcing companies to pollute less, the government's letting some of them buy certificate that say they've a voice did pollution elsewhere. a lot of the time by planting trees or protecting

forests is never climate that they can't start new projects. they can keep polluting, they can keep expanding, they can keep increasing their emissions as long as they buy all sets, that's totally fine. still, australia is cleaning up its energy 15, cheap, renewable energy of displacing fossil fuels. even my policy is weak. and even where the federal government has been slower, some states have moved fust queensland to victoria getting out of cold tasmania. the electricity grid is already 100 percent renewable, and it wants to generate double. it's need from clean energy by 2040 australia reputation of the climate villain makes it for policies to clean up the economy. lobbyists and journalists have kept it hooked on fossil fuels. but it's people, one change. and that's something that's starting to show as we saw in that report, there are a lot of ways the government can leave its people vulnerable to disaster. another

way is to neglect earthquake safety. the earthquake in turkey in syria shows a just how much damage this neglect can cause techniques to construct buildings to withstand seismic activity have long existed and no artificial intelligence can improve that process further. although of course, even better would be if a i could help keep corruption and shoddy contracting out of construction till felix polishing are reports. ah, more than 2000000 people worldwide live in regions with an increased risk of earthquakes. but how do you construct an earthquake resistant buildings? one rule of thumb is that in quite prone regions, the length of the building shouldn't be more than 3 times it's width. and the height shouldn't exceed 4 times the with japan is

a pioneer in earthquake resistant building and so as chilling but what materials are best suited for building and quake prone regions? wood is considered earthquake resistant. as is bamboo. wood is usually inexpensive and locally available to buildings made of bricks and clay. on the other hand, often collapsing in earthquake bricks are also heavy and can crush people that leads to a significantly higher death toll in a quake. building projects in bangladesh have shown that adobe clay is also low cost, and seismic resistant, it's strengthened with jude sacks. then there are new technologies avail that are designed to prevent the concrete buildings from collapsing like a house of cards. that's what happened here in turkey during the earthquake in

february with one invention. the roof is equipped with sliding weight sensors and planted in the walls. allow an algorithm to calculate in real time what level of force is required to counteract the tremors of an earthquake. and stabilize the building, it uses the sliding weights to offset the shaking and rebalance the building. the aim mister, minimize damage and prevent its collapse. so here came the idea of putting some intelligence. it in this type of technology is the need of putting a brain in these machine in order to let it understand where it is installing the, what are the changes needed? you know the court in order to adopt the instructor and being adaptable during to her face to the changes of the structure. the system is similar to the pendulums range, several 100 tons that are already used in skyscrapers. yes,

sensor. so you can always monitor the structure and even after the her big you can immediately say is the building is fine. if often an earthquake, it is damaged it on, okay? it absorb energy and people in your inside are fine, which is which is the important part. but these mean so, so that you are accept the fact that the building can be damaged after the her make that which is a problem. because then becomes the cost either for the owner either for the institutions. so here come seen play our technology we hi, rises are generally built with flexible steel frames. this means in a quake they can sway with the tremors, making a collapse less likely. large buildings can also have special systems and seismic shock absorbers installed under their foundations. this d cup the building from the substructure allowing it to service the tremors and sway only slightly. people and governments often shy away from the cost of building

earthquake resistant homes. but in the event of a quake, it limits the material damage and prevents unimaginable suffering. advancements and artificial intelligence and its applications are often 1st hatched in startups. but even these cradles of innovation are on shaky ground, higher interest rates have made capital difficult to come by. last march, silicon valley bank, a preferred lending outfit for start up went bankrupt. and the effects rippled a far beyond the american start up ecosystem. they're being felt in germany to now if securing financing used to be about having a vision. now it's about having a solid profit generating business model. here is a report from mardel grants in scott and the new pragmatism in the start up sector . ah, modern in casa politan,

berlin offers good prospects for up and coming entrepreneurs. the german capital is currently home to 3000 startups, employing over 70000 people. but after years of growth, finding investors have now become more difficult. major startups like corner tier and good tear have all laid off staff, allah's office, yet everything that's happened from the rising interest rates to the economic situation. the ukraine crisis on the banking crisis that popped up briefly. that's all having an effect on startups of seeing the 9. this is the invest. it means that investors are a bit hesitant to back their investments and to provide follow on financing. there's a wait and see approach in the market dive. and bob marked last year, just under 10000000000 euros were invested in startups in germany. that's a drop of 43 percent compared to the record year of 2021.

booking kit is a system for booking tourist attractions, like these museums and leisure parks. the startup fell on hard times in 2020. when the whole of europe was shut down due to the pandemic. lucas hempel had to lay off 20 percent of his staff. now he's more optimistic about the future in the i bit and there is in a world where the future is looking more and more uncertain. we need to adjust to that uncertainty. thus, as to the wooden side gifts, there's this idea of the so called gluco world. it's where everything is volatile, ambiguous, and where you can't plan ahead a. and so the way we respond to that is to always think in terms of different scenarios. mission for fitness and i and so we have the perfect scenario, that midway scenario and the negative scenario. and he got his scenario one and

we're constantly looking at the data to see which scenario we're currently heading towards that. so, planning and thinking ahead has become more important than ever. the focus is on efficiency and organic growth rather than rapid expansion. finding investors now takes longer. company founders need a good business idea and a stress resistant financial plan. got in the book side and ones on the especially in the boon, years of a 2019 and even more so in 20202021. it was all about having a big vision destroyed and being able to convey that effectively to investors, boxing, and really going for growth. and by that, those are still important aspects. but now you also need a solid business model. you need to be able to handle money and use your capital efficiently. if it's an id, was at some for gov, tech. things are easier. start up in this area, offer new digital solutions for the public sector. in uncertain times,

the state still makes for a secure and reliable customer. the company poly tia automates many procedures for local authorities across germany. history, yet we're now seeing much stronger interest than before. the economic downturn, by because investors are looking more closely at how efficient business models are and how well money is used and whether the customers are financially secure, couldn't be title. and of course, working for the authorities is quite different than dealing with the vagaries of consumers. i'll suddenly change their minds and they say my of my no income the years of plenty might be over, but started still attract a lot of interest. investors just look at firms more closely before committing their cash. in that sense, the market is simply become more normal. i, for one have always believed if it's good, then the universe will make space for it. that was made in germany. thank you very
