00:04Climate resilience is one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
00:13More people live in cities than ever before, and as the climate warms they face more heat, drought and flooding.
00:20Keeping them livable means smarter ways to manage water, energy and space.
00:25In this episode of Earth Now, I'm in Turkey, where new technology, including blockchain, is being used to verify where
00:32the city's energy comes from.
00:34We then travel across to Uzbekistan, where one city is being built from scratch and another is changing around what's
00:40already there.
00:41Climate change is putting cities everywhere under pressure.
00:44In Turkey, cities hit by the 2023 earthquakes are being rebuilt with the next shock in mind.
00:54Bu konutu Sayın Bakanımızın liderliğinde ayağı kaldırırken, bütün şehirleri altyapılarıyla, sosyal donatılarıyla,
01:02yine burada atık su tünelinden tutun, şehirlerin içerisindeki dere ıslahlarına,
01:09hatta ulaşım aksana kadar bütün süreçleri yeniden koordine ederken,
01:13Las las empresas se transforman en un momento en lago en el mercado.
01:19Nosotros hemos realizado la función de las de los empresarios de las 3.000.000 montañas para muy fuentes en

01:29Cier呢 como el cambio climático, hay una forma de demostrar que esto es real.
01:34Los cierna en la Comunidad y Stambore, una certificación sistema de blocchene,
01:38que el energía en la parte donde viene.
01:40YECK sertifikación sistemi ile birlikte yenilenebilir enerji santrallerinden üretilen elektriğin tüketimle buluştuğunu ispatlayabiliyoruz.
01:50Örnek vermek gerekirse elektrikli araçların kullandıkları elektriğin yenilenebilir enerji santrallerinden yani güneş, rüzgar ya da hidroelektrik santrallerinden şebeke vasıtasıyla araçlara
02:05kadar iletildiğini YECK sertifikasyon sistemi ile takip edebiliyoruz.
02:10Bu sertifikasyon sistemi blockchain üzerinden bu elektrik teslimatının %100 doğru ve gerçek bir şekilde hayata geçtiğini de ispatlıyor.
02:40Ve bu sosyal istmadan da gerizilen sabrı var.
02:46Bu yakanlar, hizmetin yaratıkları durmadan da mazantan yaparım.
02:49Bence evtlende yaratıları durmadan da masajını kontrol edilirte ve gerçekte açıklayıları yaratmak.
02:55Gidin, biz de yanı ne impactan de olmanın!"
02:58Buna da, ki eklemek için keşede neca, birka yaratı dili.
03:03Buraya aşağı oraya aşağı yaratıp JUDY'yaratan nasıl hale Garritya kadar kançı durumusundan da.
03:07Bu da necelan boyunlarine bakarsanız, bu konula.
03:09So I think the responsibility is not about whether it is the obligation of one or the other,
03:15but creating awareness, knowledge and teaching right from the beginning.
03:23That's all from us here in Turkey.
03:24We now head to Uzbekistan, where planners are building a new city from scratch,
03:28while in the capital, Tashkent, they're adapting to what's already there.
03:38Tashkent is growing in its temperatures' rise.
03:41Keeping them livable means changing how we use water, space and energy.
03:46Here, outside of Uzbekistan's capital, an entirely new city is taking shape.
03:51New Tashkent is being built from grounds up,
03:53giving planners a rare opportunity to prepare for environmental challenges
03:57before the city is filled with people.
04:00For now, much of New Tashkent is still under construction,
04:03but some of the choices that will shape how the city responds to heat are already being made.
04:08A World Bank assessment identifies climate change and urban growth
04:12among the pressures on Tashkent's resilience.
04:15In hot summers, trees provide shade and can help reduce heat at street level.
04:19Planners want parts, trees and waterways to form part of the city's infrastructure from the beginning.
04:25But creating more green space also means finding the water to sustain it.
04:51Greenery is one part of the plan.
04:53How the city produces and uses energy is another.
04:58The first thing that I would like to note is the completion of the first stage,
05:03which is the 120 MW of the regeneration plant, boiler station,
05:08which will provide the full city view, the centralized heating and cooling system.
05:13This solution will significantly reduce the electricity consumption by more than 30%.
05:20Rooftop solar panels are also part of the plan.
05:24Here, engineers are building a three-generation system designed to produce electricity,
05:29heating and cooling through an integrated network.
05:32The aim is to use energy more efficiently by designing their systems together from the start.
05:38The system is designed to operate differently across the seasons.
05:53New Tashkent is being designed from the ground up.
05:57In the existing capital, the challenge is different.
06:00Roads, buildings and neighborhoods are already in place,
06:03so creating more green space means adapting the city around them.
06:07On Tashkent's outskirts, one such effort is still at an early stage.
06:38The trees here are still young, and in hot, dry conditions, planting them is only the beginning.
06:45Planting a tree takes minutes.
06:47Keeping it alive through Tashkent's hot, dry summers is a much bigger challenge.
06:52So the success of green spaces like this one depends not just on how many trees go into the ground,
06:58but on what happens to them afterwards.
07:01New Tashkent and Tashkent are approaching the same challenge from different starting points.
07:06In both, the longer test comes after construction and planting,
07:10whether the trees survive, whether the energy system's performance intended,
07:15and whether the infrastructure keeps working as the cities grow.
07:25It's clear that there is no single way to prepare a city for a changing climate.
07:30Some are using new technology to track their energy, others are designing it into their foundations.
07:35But all of them are already planning for a future that's already arriving.
07:39That's all for this episode of Earth Now.
07:42Join us next time when we look at how shipbuilders and factories are working to clean up the air we
07:47breathe.
07:49We'll see you next time.
07:50I'm your name always.
07:56And agger in my house.
07:58Peace.
07:58Bye.
07:58Bye.
07:59Bye.
07:59Bye.
07:59Bye.
