this should be lush. agricultural land growing amongst other things, watermelons and tomatoes. instead. if dead, it's been this way since april and it's just getting worse all over iraq. the fields are turning to desert because of drought. 45 percent of iraq's arable land is under threat. according to the iraqi committee on agriculture and figures from the ministry of agriculture. this fall is an example of that grim statistic. the water that fed the land has dried up irrigation canals, empty animals, have died. this farmer is in despair and says, climate change could have been managed and he knows exactly who to blame it on me. it will be most of the mismanagement, 100 percent. as the problem, the authorities knew the situation here for decades, and they know the solution. they have built storage on the yellow river and dams on the terrace is no dams built since we had a royal family. now the water is finished with tired of demanding and farmers
2:22 pm
migrating to the cities. this is the only source of income for corruption, mis, management, and war are often blame for most of the rocks problems for the farm. as though climate change has made things worse, the government stop them from growing set and cropped and saying the water must be used for drinking irrigation and the learn a good to know. we were short sighted, we did not put in a previous plan to deal with a drought if the amount of water is insufficient in the summer. for farming, the government should have issued a decision to stop it, forming ne season ploughing and other preparations. so why would we allow the people to lose hard work in money? it's better they sell, forming, for at least one season. but this is one season problem in 2020 iraq lawrence the national action plan on climate change alongside the united nations. it was supposed to address everything that you see around me. these dead feels the lack of water. but in the subs when years there has been higher and
2:23 pm
higher temperatures here in iraq, less rain full. and now with corruption. miss management of the water flow. farmers here say that national action plan simply isn't working according to the united nations development program, iraq's one of the most vulnerable countries and the entire region, the days getting a whole to every year and the rains less frequent. it is perhaps of the biggest challenge facing the country, but it also has unintended side effects. with the lack of natural water comes reliance on plastic, bottle water and with that more trash, rivers of the stuff that are left on the streets because there's no system in place to dispose of it. iraq can expect to see more dead fields, a more plastic on the streets, unless something drastic has done him wrong, caught out a 0 east of baghdad. one of spain's most treasured landscapes is under

2:26 pm
c o 2 from the ocean in the production of their shells. the problem is that the environment here in the delta is becoming increasingly unfriendly and they're operating, they say at the absolute limits of economic sustainability, you're going to give them yet, and i think there is still time, but something must be done quickly too many years have passed already, we have studies that have been done about everything. what is needed is for the authorities to act on the possible solutions include supplementing the supply of river sediment to prevent coastal erosion and rebuilding sand defenses for the inhabitants of the town of del temporary whose homes regularly flood their livelihoods inside the delta ever more precarious action is urgent about the leaders, but a look at the farmer who loses. his rice field loses his livelihood. the person who loses his homely, the beach have to move. so we could end up being the 1st climate refugees in europe
