like that all about looking for cactus leaves again and again to survive. this is fancy. i just look at that. because under linda, somebody who's in the morning i prepare vincent eye cream mother's best. i can give him the near total absence of more than 8 months that my children and i have been with this plan every day and exclusively because we have nothing else to you and no rain to allow us to have it. what we have done for joining us to talk more about the situation is southern monic africa. we have shelly marie, christina and charles. thank you so much for being on the stream today. shelly, it's good to see you. we've worked with you on the stream before ramana audience who you are and what you do actually who i am with the golfing program. i cover the southern africa region and i just got back from medical school or spent just a little over a month down in the south, down at that at the center of the crisis that we are going to discuss this evening

. thanks for joining us. marie coffee and welcome to the stream. introduce yourself to us around the world. all hello, hello. we want you to shop on, christine, call you back to this matter. call me back. i've been in the south yesterday and also a few weeks ago and movie movie i will you for women's organization regarding this issue now? all right, most new tina in just a moment and welcome charles to the street. please introduce yourself to our view as well. thank you for the opportunity to engage with you today. i'm charles who i am. the chief executive officer of action is hunger and he worked one of the very few organizations working this out and part of my gosh, the child you sent us some video. you shed some video with us. it's drug video and

it shows us quite clearly what is happening as far as the drought consent. if we look at this video, what are we seeing here, charles? you seeing an area that has been affected, you know, over a number of years where the rainfall party has changed significantly. and so the area is very dry. as you walk her team, you find that you have wings that have already taken a lot of the soil to be able to blow that way. the organic, my lea at the top soil, which really helps plans to grow. it's already gone. and so we talk about an area that is very desperate because there is no food because of the reduction in reinforce that we've seen when the last 4 decades. but then. ready the last 3 years, we have seen drought, not a single drop of rain in that area. and so people are beginning to stop and

children are suffering. that's what we're seeing in this area. to hear that an area of the world, there is no food shelley, i could see you shaking your head as you were watching those, those. i'm going to literally pull in the literal sense of the word poor families working out what they could eat. that was around them foraging. what are people eating? what did you see people hopefully and then i met the one of the mothers that you show in the film, tamara, and she had cases, character seats in front of her children just picking picking to see these are coping mechanisms. can you imagine just co clean your fridge and that being nothing in your fridge and just the puppets of that. and these people don't even have you 10 proof. they sold everything. she told me that, you know, even if i was to find something to eat, i didn't buy, i would,

i didn't have utensils, i don't even have a spoon, nothing to cook with. and just to go back to what channels is saying. i mean, water was not drunk anywhere. can a people be watching our conversation and they will be thinking, hold on a minute, madagascar, tropical paradise. what's going on here? there is a difference between the geography and the climate in the nor from par madagascar. and in the southern part of madagascar give us a very quick climate lesson about your country. i was calling to ask is among the most countries regarding climate change? yeah, we are the talk with. 7 climate change, and i was talking about country, people used to things that matter, that green country, we thought flores, but we have these diversity and climate difference, probably due to region,

often to south west and east. we have regular long cycles. we have we have jobs in the song, but we also big enough. so i was country is already very vulnerable and unfortunately quite invisible. i mean, promotional level where i'm not doing it to my mom. i'm not even considered, especially on it, especially as i've been island, which she sometimes knows i will call you and people baby from that matter that doesn't even exist and what i want to share. i don't want to show you some data that i want to show you always does. what does it mean for matter that's got to be

among the most of our country regarding climate change, especially it means that of course people, they don't have huge. we saw it through the video for us. this is not only a question of them for me. it's also a question of human rights. today. in the south africa, we also have 3. i'll call them when you are a moment. was a woman i, you know, i don't wanna work for 4 kilometers particular meters to collect water, but then the last one that was the last one to to even cars, man. eat 1st of all region away. yeah, no, no, no, it's fine. it's wonderful that you were able to give us

a insight into the culture of madagascar, not just the data in terms of stats and where we are, we've drought, i'll be close to family, etc. i heard the phrase, women eat not from you, but i know the phrase, women eat least and last. right? so if you have no food, that is a major problem. let me bring you back here to the alarm, but he's now being sounded by the international community, tina, you, you think people don't even know where magic asked raise. they don't know that with a phone ripple, some of the international conversations do know this, w, f, p, madagascar, malnutrition, among children, expected to quadruple in southern madagascar because of the drought led by climate crisis. so where, what are we looking at? shelly, in terms of how many people are living on top tie are living on in facts

because of the drought because it just absolutely did rain that the number of people on the brink of starvation in famine like conditions is going to double coming up to what we call the lead season, which is that period between planting and harvesting. if you haven't had rain, if you haven't had, is going to brain for 3 to 4 years. 8 miserable, but there's no hope in terms of what can i grow? what can i cultivate? your white what tina, when we talk about it's an island people always say, but that you fish the people that are affected of farmers, they only know bombing. and because of the nature of like claims that have hit southern africa sandstone. so my sally and that is swept from the coastal, from the crystal tunes and just covered the land when you fly in the land,

when you see those drones and it's that orangey sand color where it impossible to grow anything. and so again, climate, this is the frontline impacts of climate change and these people have done nothing to contribute to climate change. i guess i'm so glad you said i'm going to ben charles in a shot because i want to share the conversation. doing all of you landry in interest, a is the regional director of 350 africa door, or key points out what a lot of developing nations know is that they were not responsible for the climb quite face, but yet they are paying a high price. this is landry charles, when you listen to a laundry and then come immediately off the bat with your own thoughts. the dizzy torch and put a spotlight on the disproportionate nature of climate crisis. which unfortunately kind of affect the countries that have contributed delete to the

crisis torso, the climate impact them to just as we're seeing a gus could give us a glimpse of restitution, which isn't likely to happen. so no to become a sod and shared reality across africa. and beyond, we're parole, drought tubal floods and intensive footprint. extreme where the event are likely to become part of our daily life. yes. so maybe that lender is right. my gosh. other countries that are in such areas they contribute very little or they have contributed very level when it comes to what causes climate change. yet the other one that are being just proportionately being affected because of geography. so you let you look at

a case of medic asking where it lies and what we've seen over the last 4 decades. the 4 parts have been diminishing all the time. and let's remember that this practical area that we talking about. it's already semi iris is already dry. and so if you have, you know, for decades on decreasing rainfall in this area. and then in the last 3 years we've seen extreme drought in that area. what is let nothing. and so from where we said, we see that the more imperative for a while to be able to help people off madagascar as we speak because they have contributed very little to climate change. but because of where they are, they are now being affected. and when we listen to the voices of the mothers, why mother that we spoke with. she said,

what bothers me the most is that i am not able to see my child. we're talking of the dignity of a mother. the pride that the mother has to be able to bring the child into this world and having that capability to be able to see the child. yes, she find herself in a situation where she is not able to see this job. and tears rolling down her face strongly. and so he's right laundries, right. these countries have contributed very minimal jet. the are the ones that are being affected and that has the reason why your whole glow. that's why there is a more encourage you to make sure that we stop these people from suffering better. let me just bring in some youtube comments, shall in for them to you and, and then also to you charles as well. just very briefly so that we can get for as many as possible. clean borman on youtube says this is the reality for south africa as well. still people deny global warming leaders in this country that south africa

still make use of co power because they have shares and these coal mines and they benefit. this isn't even a wakeup call. shelly, this is a red flag that we're seeing right now. we're madagascar go ahead. quick thoughts on this? absolutely, and you sure just said, you know, we are displacement from climate change we are seeing and where it says to go, people often say to me, or can they move where you live to? because you have been in your villages with your families the years. this is the life that you know, it's very remote, it's very close to the pandemic because obviously meant the country's going to look down. so in terms of seasonal employment likelihood, though, i think the prices, yes it is that affecting not only madagascar, but globally, there's a lot more hunger hot spots today than that probably. and 12 months ago,

24 months ago. we're concerned like your viewers and your listeners and the panelists today, because if we don't app now, we will have failed people. i want to bring in david decorative director of the world food program. he was a madagascar in june. and one of the things that david mileage is to do is he removes himself, says, as a sort of an executive as of a un agency. and you feel that the real person is seeing what is happening in front of him. so he posted this on facebook, however, listen, have a look for us. this is the frontline, the impact of climate change. people's lives have been devastated. these families here has literally had to migrate, sell everything that they have, the home, the land, the pots, and because the drought bag badge and this is not because the war conflict,

this is just because we're here on the front lines with sagan, leveraging so our audience guess i tried to come up with some ideas and solution to the magic ass guy. i'm sure that tina and, and many people, madagascar doing exactly the same thing. this is pen die 10 dice thing. if someone from him bob way, which faces frequent throughout, they could introduce more drought with this. been a fast growing crops and climate proofing farming systems by the use of water retention methods as marching and encouraging each household to grow enough for family. all right, so that's what tend i was staying on twitter. charles, you know about farming? is this a viable idea for me? yes. because this is the time to be able to put all of these tools in the hands of our farmers to be able to help them. because we know that if we do not,

what is going to follow is not something the all of us are going to be proud of. so if you look at the very typical farming environment when the range coming, many of these are the coming towards the core and they run off. so part of what she's saying is to be able to measure can capture many of these, allow them to pack it into the soil. so not only will preserve the one to be able to use for radiation, but we also allowing now the collision to decide to be able to recharge the ground water that we can lead to on tap to be able to use. the 2nd part is with is about the whole drought crop. so we're talking about drug resistant crops. we know that is going to happen. and the fact that we know is going to happen means we have to do something. now, there's research taking place that many of these crumbs out, we know what, you know, what know, survive in these extreme heat. and that's what has happened in madagascar. so what we're trying to do is how the mother's got is to be able to work with these farmers

to be able to bring in these drab resistant crops to be able to help them. but sometimes also to go back to some of those indigenous crops that we used to cultivate in such dry area that said to chrome, that would not do well. let me give you an example. mays mays needs a lot of water, a lot of nitrogen. if that's what we're going to continue to grow and many of the drought areas, we're not going to be successful. so where, so go, whereas the millet, so it's about to me to buy the tools that we can do to put into the hands or how farmer's dad would withstand what school, you know, in other words, i mean, sorry. i mean, the other question i have both to tina and chelsea. how do you change the with people, you know, how do we need money? we know we need money to get this off the ground and to make sure that pipelines and water radiation water harvesting but where we are today, we accept the p stay,

we need 78600000 dollars just to provide food assistance, emergency food for people that are on the bring salvation. so where are we going to get to in terms of changing the long term development? what do we last bring back in here? i'm going to show a couple of pictures here. these are these, these in your team. we've got young people here trying to effect change in madagascar trying to do things that may well change how the climate crisis is impacting the people with other madagascar. you come with solutions for i shall tell us one that's really important to you. so i like to to share least one positive sometimes the messages and solution that have not got prob, probably,

i mean now that most of the solution are from top to, to down down not solution from the community, not solution from the book nation. whereas we have young people where women organization, we have local communities with solution. they are really aware of the back of climate change and i'm not only beggars down not only begging for food of what they have being me teach you and, and that's what we want to share these positive message in our country to. and i mean, for example, these last few weeks i'd be working on launching originally. you platform in the, in the region in the install. we had to get back to keep being training with you. and also the, the last few days i had the chance to work we, we local v thank gathering, gathering

a diversity of factors like doctors, engineers, a student from i school like search, shaving to get the solution for the pollution for the community. because tina can i don't think the audience on youtube also can you which is yeah. mother gasket today, your neighborhood tomorrow, which is a warning and then pass me to you. what makes you think that the situation and stuff and madagascar will get better just briefly tina god, maybe i'm too optimistic. no, no. you can't be too. i think for the stream i. we need that off to this conversation. go for a just briefly. so as not to do, i think that the change, the change is for our generation now, if it's still possible to bring these cars, this probably chanting, cocked for the community. what i also want to share the fact

that in the region, this region is considered as a century project for many years that many projects that i've been where the launch in the region of matter got out, but didn't work because they didn't come to their community but it didn't come to you, you are part of why, you know, the majority of the population, the matter got well 70 percent. the madagascar and i'm wondering actually did under what drove you work with locally you for his ation of you work local university. yes, we have solution to so now it's time to to bring the real dialogue and to bring the strength together. and doctors that will be my med message today. so for me, which is right, right. she said about it's about the power meant of the people that we work with,

bringing low cost solutions to the problem. so in action, i did hunger in many of the place that we work in this out. it is that our roads will continue to use. so let me give you an example. so we have these 25 mobile health and nutrition unit that move around the, you know, private grants, our area to be able to help. you know, what is josh? how long has we're almost at the end of the show, so make it a very brief example. go for it. so we go in there, we have to save lives right there by working with the mother and empowering them to be make sure that the child is not dead. and so it's about bringing them into our discussions and empowering them with the tools they need to make sure that they can be able to do their work and doing well. whenever we do a show like this, where we are showing people in the well in dire need, people always ask, how can we help? here is one way. when the cycle of failed harvest, there's no planting this new harvest, this new crops. and people who are already sold are for the salt and mattresses

that cooking put. they have nothing left see to providing basic food, infant supplements, rice themes, oil, and we know it's work and we can see children recovering. we are saving lives every day. but seed are limited due to a lack of world understanding of the dire situation and madagascar until they think you can fight seed online. and in the closing 30 seconds of the show. shelly, if they want to support the work of the w f p, what can people do? people can really. we can also just make sure that we get the word out. i, you know, i love the passion of tina. let's keep, keep talking to the youth. let's get that women out there that make sure that we might really appreciate you. shelly, christina. thank charles. everybody who was contributing on youtube for your questions and your comments really appreciate you. thank you so much. the next time . ah,
