describe their pull over to their hunger so the new transitional phase that the u.n. is taking shape now the new way to address the national agenda today should conduct us to put food security and these seventeen goals all of the is d. at the top priority of international relationship so to discuss today here in doha how we should address this issue is ect absolutely essential so just to go to the subject and i'm uncertain in your question about me gratian what can we be happy what is going on can we accept that every year our friend in rome in fall of radar paper very serious looking to

the journalists while we have no less than during the last c.j.'s every year we have to announce unfortunately that there are more people are suffering hunger can we accept that if that total failure to follow a total failure of international system that address in the food security. and politician. i would say the decision maker in the those that have to address this issue at the national level regional level at international level have to wake up and say enough is enough ambassador a deaf out there's a lot of talk here about international cooperation that's needed and you're going to zation the global dryland alliance aims to establish a network among countries who are suffering from the same challenges but let me move this discussion along to focus now on water sustainability and water scarcity

so in your opinion how key is policy development when it comes to water scarcity is there the political will on the behalf of governments to tackle this issue from what you've seen i think europe also could play an important role rather than let this migrants. cross the mediterranean to go to europe which will be cheaper for europe to invest in these. countries because once these immigrants are integrated in system in a spin out of france or or in germany the investment is how you maybe it could cost less than twenty percent if they will support this individual create a job for them. and their own country and let them bleed lie. on them selves rather than feed them fish to teach him. how to fish i think that's

it's really an important element although it has a started a bit by some european country but would really need to see this larger scale. now when it comes. to water. only civilisations. we're flawed because they have plenty of fortune specially those that are long. reports. on the source of water and dry land country it really comes from brain but with the climate change does have difficulty ssion. these countries have to find i think has also minister of germany have said in the sub-saharan unsettled countries main issue is water whatever is the d.d.

in life for any community the better of countries they are able for example. when we talk about gulf countries ninety eight percent of our water come from the sea from the dissolute nation process and the technology today also plays a very important role and proving that. the quality of for to but also there are countries that i mean i would take the example of singapore and the state of california orange county in the state of california where they change transparent what they call the grey water into drinking water that could only happen with technology but technology at the high a price that is not affordable to do lists developed countries and this the international community really

take this issue seriously we are going to see. some problems even it would lead towards overwatered if some countries do not have the access to fresh water of. the future which is something that i think we are beginning to see now there was wars between india and pakistan for example we know it's being fought over in the middle east mr jimmy adu may so embassador the fire was giving us the statistics from the gulf region at the un is saying that the world water supply will fall sort of by at least forty percent that's by the year twenty thirty that is a very grim statistic what's at stake for countries and the sad region. well you know if we green space would be willing cruise the likelihood of creating more

water we're going to pump some water we're going to green it up and then this ground that would be covered will generate some moisture but let me put a plug in with respect to water and in our neck of the you know water harvesting technologies to drought resistant crops on kind of technologies rated it a variable right now. and we also have the know how we can since area the question do you mind the likes in the seventeen countries in the region we do have the science and we do have the knowledge we brought degraded land into productive areas and what have you and we do we know how to do that what is left is investment and we also do know what to do with this water so we need investments to be able to bring as i said earlier we only irrigate less than three percent of available land

we actually domesticated if such a word could be used in this context twenty percent of arab and land so if we do that we will be able to as definitely produce transform process create wealth and just and stop those kids who go to europe they're going to stay in the villages and what have you because they're educated they come out of school at a minimum hundred thousand graduate with at least back shows from each of those countries minister company in ecuador water isn't shrines in the constitution isn't it as a human right but there is still great inequality of access how much is the issue of the scarcity of water or the potential of the scarcity of water at the forefront of people's minds there and is it driving political change in your region as a whole. well the laws only must one of the pros of them said we have

seen in a quarter. is that in the last fifty years we have seen that twenty percent and. production of the mountains with isaac last year series they have lost big amount of snow and ice which is the thoughts of water production for reverse i would like to remind you that ecuador is. the most. were the. most highest. biodiversity in the world we have therefore taken politico. measures a quarter has ninety percent of its energy that comes from a lot of renewable sources as we have when.

and when. hydro electric sound we would like to continue on this we would like to have a more equipped torreon culture and this is a priority in a quarter one third of productive areas. only are exploited we need more f.d.a. more foreign direct investment so as to be able to develop our farms mr moore to tell us how big a threat to in your opinion is water scarcity and the lack of water resource management to global security and if this is indeed a global problem which it very much sounds like it is where does the responsibility lie to take it on one where i think. we are advancing the new concept. but are we are living in what we call a consumer to be poor or want more more more more. and the solution of this challenge of food security water to sit i mean it did it with used

good luck our name is so few i mean nice food energy and water so this next use of food energy and water the most threat that in order to get food you need water and energy so in religion with water my producers are seeing the bottle have pointed out i mean only two point five for the whole show phase so should the earth is water so they decide scarcity of water. what it is betty badri distributed eighty percent of the water be lost to ten countries out of one hundred ninety three. only russia china not united states kind of colombia maybe ecuador

when harvard is circuit city to really have a high reserve on water. distribution with certain they way i do appear not european city sense and spend three hundred liters per day and the poor guy in gaza have only fifty liter throw the reservoir the earth roeser one water is the crazy. so what to do what i think we have to do with this next. house we have say the technology can be apply there is not a fatality on that so we're just coming to the end of the session i just want final thoughts from each of my panelists and thirty seconds each if you can the bottom line ambassador that the fair if there aren't enough substantial global and

agricultural changes from now until that year of twenty fifty when that population is really going to rise dramatically. what will happen will i think we should really have a. global awareness about the strong linkage. between food security peace and peace. and the world. and will of societies sometime with think a dollar. is a small amount but a done not in one of these poor countries could to bring three meals a day for a poor person what i'm saying here is that we have to own was that a member of the hungry people somewhere of that number actually is also and the increase and we have to do neat as individual society as.

oh it will come. do need something i think the should do in order to bring peace and stability to the world mr jimmy doing your final thoughts create opportunities for investments in the water production system strong sun create wealth and jobs and there will be a place for everyone thank you very much mr camperdown a final thought from you me ms i have in that city my name and they don't the message would be the world in general should also say of the primary forests of water sources and we have to work on that and we have to actually assess whether these carbon permits. we could call them have worked and whether these has been you know think you very much mr moratinos go out. there with quotation no buy from

a former president of freezer and she won't but it's. saying that there was no sense to fight for water when we counter a teat. there is no science to fight for. one really concert allies eat not turn turn in our war technology is there but turns out they're not the to war ok well on that note we'll leave it there we thank you very much i thank all of my panelists for joining us today great discussion thank you to the audience for joining us as well that was good to have you with us and thank you very much for watching this special edition of inside story from a day it's a half or about bye for now.
