10:34 pm
very persistent and very good at action. you get to meet 3 climate warriors from the african continent you will be out to tell you pretty much anything you want to know about the climate crisis only act that can continent you can test and they are ready for your questions and your comments your new team jumping to the comment section and be caught up today. i am going to greet the guest the guests will say hello to you how. you just don't write that at the summit in copenhagen just everything erica hill is really good to see you introduce yourself to a global audience. who everyone. loves mclemore talking wrist. and. we're glad to have
10:35 pm
you hello elizabeth welcome to the street and tell the world what he did. hello everyone my name is elizabeth environmentalists and academics activist from kenya and i'm also the founder of an initiative called the green dinner which i'm sure rancher and during the conversation and also currently have. had been campaigns and. and also. works on protecting green spaces thank antacid great to have you and hello on a juicy nice to see tell everybody what. thank you so much i didn't allow don't like it care from a book we did nigeria bondo pilot like. the equality in africa i'm an echo but i mean is that a bit like there's only a delay cadre don't think about that it needs to be ready to go within the point
10:36 pm
not to dry up imo thought in the here thought about it right in nigeria. eco worry is good to have you let me start here on my laptop so we talked about on twitter young activists across africa even efforts to combat the climate crisis crisis can young climate to be saved africa this is alex 8 i believe so it may take a while because because climate crisis is not at the forefront of the african problem but it should be if you activists continue to sound the alarm it will reach a wide range of people especially remote areas intonation is the key i like this because it's so nice not at the forefront of the african trouble elizabeth when you see alec saying that why is it when people are actually being impacted by the climate crisis right now on the african continent why is it not number one priority
10:37 pm
. i would say the 1st thing to what he has mentioned that information is definitely key so it happens that for the most people that stand to be the more affected they don't have the needed information to know how to adapt to the crisis and also on the other hand you find that stories of the african continent in the wild and especially because odd from being a continent but is greatly affected by the crisis it is in the same continent where people are watching one solutions where young people like as like you are like and then you can other young people out there trying to walk out solutions to try and address the climate change in parts so if we can get to hear these stories from the african continent then i think we can get to have the credit crisis also be at the forefront comes to the african continent that's it we need to keep reminding people that in africa is no longer after unsung it's happening right now and all these
10:38 pm
stories of what is happening need to be told and the need to be informed out there to go out so that people can start. to be sure one example of what is happening is a very tangible examples of people what you can think this is not just happening to people so i want to take you to east africa to ethiopia. and this is all of east africa there's a major issue right now locusts and so these pictures from my recently released some of this is what is tearing the looks of doing not just ethiopia through east africa have a look. i mean. all the while more war 2 more to go to hit. that have a lesser layer as a 2nd and. 'd
10:39 pm
'd i know you've come across locusts in uganda can you jesus use that example to show how the climate crisis is threatening. well. again they're about the start of this year we. are going on all over and up to now they're actually just reduced but still the problem once very big and also we have been suffering the same effect we have and they're raising what has
10:40 pm
a leg which is the world's 2nd largest freshwater body so because you go there is an agricultural country we depend most on our culture. feeding economy most of us independent agriculture and seeing such diverse sitting in on the climate for instance or the effect. it affects us more because this is our life this is our future and without a culture we are nowhere so this climate crisis. every problem except with every issue making it worse for our lives for the lives of the children because they have a longer future to stay so climate change makes everything was from floods killing people claiming people's property claiming traditional lands making people claim a traffic using their own country and. let me just bring it in as an equal
10:41 pm
going to put this question on you tube. so to me says the african continent doesn't contribute much to climate change that it's mostly europe and the usa that contribute more and i think they really took about c o 2 so. when you look on a map and i'll show it to you in just a moment. you'll see who the big and mit is and is only south african the only emits a little bit i'll show you that in a moment that is a plane as in the case that is a really well made by 2 to mix up and you say what. ok so i'm going to say it is that the irony of the oath even that does not make much yet we are feeling the impact of the climate change crisis that is we had this appropriately affleck by the time it didn't cry to the land that is why we need to be united because our climate frankly deaconess countries to each other to my
10:42 pm
grandchildren and all that from so if we don't take these next things we are still needed is a great topic because climate crisis knows no boundaries so i think that is going to have sexual acts a refugee from that things that we are trying to prevent that the climate crisis does not become. an international crisis because right now in nigeria was easy choice so our national security because it leads to is political climate when christ. is the vibe all these people because the people who do not intend part of nigeria have been dropped out deforestation and specially from the strain killing charge that have displeased millions of people because coming into the modern talking indian people depends on the league was out strong by unite depicted trying to seize the so it is becoming a cried bitterly daily disease because we are faced with mostly fitted crises that
10:43 pm
ranges from droughts floods food insecurity all of these cause this threat to our national security because it is going to lead to loss of life so you can i went and sought of life now you tried so hard to decide to become thai because the alternative life knew that people seek to get it's great to have said this to try and that is why i call myself an eco feminist because independent of all of these women not get directly or indirectly affected because they carry said you are the ab use the process of going for the trial each other company given out for marriage every state so we really need do you all want to be you. united all right not to be left behind because right now we are led by do we are not. everyone is. but i do make a bet and i get to see you in a moment so what i'm thinking about is action what are you doing i hear that
10:44 pm
you already know in. really how lucky is i what i want to i want to share with your sister eco warriors are right there to share the conversation a little bit back to you so i'm just wondering what are you doing elizabeth in kenya there's such a rich tradition of honoring nature when gary messiah the nobel laureate. started a mission to plant trees to actually educate young people and i see something that you have carried on can you tell us about that and the education process that you're going through with schools in kenya because it is a massive project it's not a young person doing let's ponder she trains it involves so many schools it is a real system for how how do we get young africans to catch about climate change tell us more about your work. so and begin maybe by saying that the best are we can
10:45 pm
also get young people to get to the fire and to get them involved and also have them connected environment so i personally go it's connected to the natural age and all the say that's having grown up in the central highlands of kenya and in the most for us that we've done in kenya i got to love nature and connects to the natural world at a young age because i recall the trees ahead of me the bushes beside me and even being able to see it's close to clean streams which are very rare in parts of the law today so these are the things that give me that strong connection to nature and i felt that in the process i also began to learn from nature and in the process i began to feel the pain of nature caused by environmental degradation and that means that things like people throwing trash out of our windows seeing people cutting down trees would anger me in the process and also the lead professor ramify was my greatest source of inspiration and i would say that i really admired how walk and i was really interested to understand why she would do the things that she was doing
10:46 pm
back then and that is why today when i get to a park in kenya like. a forest lake or a forest i now understand why she it was because she was doing it for the generations and so i think this love and connection for nature made me realize that people can definitely get a not natural call to action to address environmental challenges and they can do that they get to connect directly to the natural world so that is why i decided to found an initiative to also get other young people and children to get that similar and that's natural connection the natural while when they are still young so this initiative is called green generation initiative and it all began with one tree seedling and one receiving has grown into hundreds and grow into thousands of christenings and of course the company has to make sure that every child in every school in kenya gets a chance to plant and a dog. a treaty that's who because i personally planted my father's tree at the age
10:47 pm
of 70 s. so i'm trying to get that street growing cults are among children because we plan so many thousands of trees and tree limbs on trees in the wild but the biggest question is how many of those trees actually gets to grow up to much surety so the best way we can get young people is to educate them and not just teach them but educate them practically because when a kid plant a tree and they natura them and what you'd grow then they are landing and getting connected to the natural wild and so that is how this campaign is trying to match up the young children to be righteous of the environment. ok you think if you questions these are great questions this is johnson i held a meeting and he johnson's question just says yes we the young ones we are ready to change africa but we need support from the elders to share that story about new discussing climate change with the professor and how the professor reacted. well by the term 0 as
10:48 pm
a compass i was in 2nd and then i approached my professor. to ask him about climate change because he was teaching about a career meant unsustainability and i really wanted to know more and how he is visioning this whole process all. electronic procurement so when they approached him she told him that not exists and then that a week children. and students can do nothing about whatever is happening and then he told me that climate change is god's decision god's plan whatever god planned will have if god planned a drought in the drought will happen if god planned range then rain will happen if god wants to in the world then he will in the world and then. no control over it and there's nothing that the young generation can do to create change or to make any difference and i strongly dislike good move through him. because i believe that
10:49 pm
we young we've the younger generation have everything we have the power that power is in our minds and not only as the young generation but also politicians and leaders as we have these resources we have the technology that can help us transform the world into a more sustainable planet we have all whatever it takes but what is missing is the political wheel and this in the action it's let greed and selfishness that is in our communities in our need does making them not to make the right decisions white now what we need are concrete steps to be taken in order to combat the climate crisis because it's not something that is going to happen in the future it is something that is here it has killed millions and millions of people and it's still claiming it's making our lives not very very miserable most of the people in the
10:50 pm
global not have entry to face these direct impacts of climate change but i'm telling you that we people in the global south says this things each and every day we have to cope with the same issues floods of tough floods droughts droughts hunger the climate crisis is impacting us more than the ovid crisis thing to. do though will only show that was last year at the world may some of the upset really upset what impact did that have in the people who listen when you pour out your passion in your understanding of how the climate crisis is impacting africans right now will impact. well actually talking about it's now i really feel disappointed like i felt even after because that was the 1st time i shared my story and. i thought that everyone
10:51 pm
will understand what africa is really facing what we really are each and every day but to my dismay as very disappointed because there's not action being taken since then it's like everything was in vain and yes you talk about this story and then everyone. comes up to you after talking and then the like oh you're inspiring that's a great story and this something happened you know inspiring being in see you just do you know. if i'm if i make it to you know you i stand when people say that you're inspiring are they patronize in the is the global north patronize you. well it looks more than that because if i am inspiring you then what they were inspired to do i mean it shouldn't in that inspiring it should provoke an action it should empower us but this not only. let me
10:52 pm
i'm going to allow a little bit of inspiration lead into this program because it comes of elvis pool tender and he's the coordinator of the great green wall initiative if you don't know if you can it you'll be amazed because africans have been being climate where it's a very long long long long time this is what elvis had to say to you ladies have a listen. police him a council in the continent of short and not of interest to work with this young people there are those who can make the change that they weren't to see because of the future so my advice to the east of pain of the heat continue being to be continue to increase john look on our continuing top producing because of the level of the esoteric your who have seen a lot of openness to work with them. i want to show you the twitter page of this climate where his climate activists his name is dixon and dixon told us earlier on
10:53 pm
the string that the biggest challenge of climate activists on the african continent was the lead it is because the leaders were only thinking about the next election they were thinking about the future so young people who are of the future generations and in ek when we talk about concrete acts actions will be think about be you on the audio so inspiring you know what wonderful young i'm activist what do you want what action do you need. i think in maine and this was actually the car needed to make so i've been months on to make a reality as a police to cool because you can call it the clue we can drive now on it then they're not going to i'm not trying to think did i did call and most importantly are the grassroots level because we know that we need to get along called all of these in our kyung people we are seeing that the feeling she always makes full of crises it actually is are not taking now and that is why we are calling that they
10:54 pm
are in fact women should be reduced to being because that is the road miles to all who is going to be unable to tightening for clothes but we are calling on actually because that same commitment by law was needed so who do want the commitment to they are saying they will not they also say he also also want to get me going in the i'm going to. add any case if i may so i know it's no chicken stew in the same here but politically was the answer to every single program that every country ever had so what do you want them to do because they're not doing it on the do you want to. please you know that doesn't mean anything. you know there's a need for one leave. because 'd then when bad for climate talks gets turns are one beyond our watch to do i think that is what is needed because if they keep our
10:55 pm
people are on the global south that's the main we need the foreign debt for each case even require me know if your vision was that given to help to transform to fight the meadow for koku should be not being our actions on me therefore all of you ought to know a lot for that is beginning then that said to ask a feeling that we need because we know that the climate crisis. appling in every cycle every be on it's not a track he's going to be. and that's why we need to mock she was smart potential black to coffee not being quite that big chunk of meat to good shows for our downfall to see that it comes true and i must mention on the that there were also climate education not quite into what some of these that he is very important because that is a class they have that will stick in creating the 2 sides the old creating the kids that we want the club bringing up on each kid because i'm a country like my climate that we can show in including that's how i died by 50
10:56 pm
because we have this press release don't we picking on everybody coming from different backgrounds so if we don't educate them to fight the it's my look at real watching them when in which case the program called the initiative can be used to the car use it to the exit side front gate so that climate that the kitchen. played a role in occupied particularly when i graduated from school when i thought it important when you're going to be a kid people and the cool because we don't have to be up in the corner equal on that the need for our blog at the new curriculum but our people grow up in a ball. fight the problem we got if we don't know about the problem is really big but at the need for a great opportunity that education in debt and they tell me i admire that rugged 30 whether you believe i am can cry through topic or pick you up. at any case thank you so much and i know it's listeners really bringing your advocacy here
