unless something changes it seems that fighting the traffickers is a war that can't be won, al jazeera, peru. meeting in bonn to negotiate a new global agreement to cut greengreenhouse emissions. greenhouse gas emissions. nearly 190 countries need to submit their plans to reduce their emissions, so far only 50 countries have done this. not enough to stabilize the global temperature rise to the targeted 2° sell 2° celsius.
2:42 pm
as the ice caps melt and natural climate systems are adversely affected. founder and president of the institute for governance and sustainable growth, what do you think obama aims to achieve with his trips oalaska? >> three things he will have to do. use the opportunity to visualize what's happening today in alaska from climate impacts, realizing that alaska is warming at twice the rate as the he rest of the world. so what you see in alaska today is a preview of what we'll see in the rest of the world tomorrow. so the second thing he needs to do and will be doing is building support for his strong climate mitigation actions at home and abroad for the what we call cop-21 in paris, the conference of the parties that in december
2:43 pm
we hope will deliver a reasonably strong climate disagreement. the third thing is to highlight the unique role of the short-lived climate pollutants. so if you visualize two levers, to control warming, one is the carbon dioxide lever, you pull it back as hard and as fast as you can, because it's a long lived gas it is like slowing a super-tanker. it takes a long time. the next lever is the pollutants, you pull this lever back and you get fast reduction in warming. that's black carbon soot, ground level ozone and methane, and hfcs or hydrofluorocarbons that are used as refridge rants -- >> the items you mentioned, you mentioned one of them, what sort of things are the actions that could be the fast kind of
2:44 pm
actions that you described there? >> well, i mean one that's teed up right now thanks to the president's effort and many, many other leaders is to reduce the hfcs using the montreal protocol. this is the treaty that has already put the stratospheric ozone layer on the path to recovery and is poised to do the single biggest piece of climate mitigation in the near term. there are 95 countries that have already submitted proposals to phase down the hfcs under the treaty so the second thing to get an agreement among the arctic countries to reduce the black carbon soot. this is particularly bad in regions like the arctic of snow and ice because it not only warms by warming the atmosphere, but it darkens the snow and ice and allows more heat to be absorbed. and the ice and snow to melt even faster than it is now. >> in the last few months there seems to be several pieces of
2:45 pm
research highlighting the failure to cause trillions of dollars of economic resource, the economic case for doing something. do you think the tone has changed and that people are actually prepared to make the leap now and the naysayers against climate change are actually being phased out? >> well, i think there's a lot of good news that shows that we are turning the corner. if you look at the clean energy renewables, more than half of awe new power generation last year came from clean energy. if you look at the effort to reduce the hfcs this will be done under the mantra protocol in a seamless way. no one will notice. the cost will be so minor, in fact in the case of the consumers, who are buying air conditioners and refrigerators, their price will go down. because every time we change refrigerants we get a bump in
2:46 pm
energy efficiency as well. when you look at things like black carbon and speaker ozone, these kill every yeaatmospherict kill millions of people every year. you are damaging your crop productivity at the same time. so these are very cost fes effective. >> thank you very much indeed for speaking to us. >> thank you. >> ethiopiethiopia has a flourig opal trade. >> the ethiopian high lands is

these stones there is nothing to support the roof of the tunnel. seto says the last time a miner was killed here was three years ago. >> translator: landslides happen when it rains. it's frightening when you're inside the tunnel. but i don't want to stop this work until i'm successful. >> reporter: the government has supplied the miners with basic tools and says it wants to improve health and safety standards. it's encouraged them oform cooperatives. they sell most of the raw opals for processing abroad. >> translator: since we formed the cooperatives we have been able to save money. some have bought cars, others are buying houses. >> reporter: this is one of only two gem stonework shops in addis ababa. ethiopia's gem industry generates around $25 million a year, aa long way behind
