10:33 pm
ah ah ah hi, i semi ok welcome to the stream this week on the stream across all of our platforms, we are going to be following some of the big stories, the big issues as united nations general assembly. today we're talking about governments and pilot action. can we trust our governments to act? if you're new to right now, you can be in a comment section. your thoughts still questions for the panel. put them right here, and you can be part of today's show. we kick up our conversation with hilda, who's a climate activist. in gad, i come from one of the front land. can we need to buy the climate cases and we are
10:34 pm
unable to adapt to eat. we are suffering cases. we did not create. every rain comes to flood, raising what live was submerging buildings living many homeless, if not dead, rising temperatures and more worldly does know exactly what needs to be done, but not willing to do. because they should have planted the world needs and into what fuel. we need address to cut emissions in increase for just an inclusive 20 c, especially for us the much, much later because we can draw in our experiences to offer solutions to engine claimant. so we stop our conversation with our panel. so when misery, coves, so good to have you all here at the stream. so please introduce yourself to stream viewers around the world. thank you so much for me. my name is selwyn heart,
10:35 pm
the special advisor for claimant action to the 2nd general and assist inspector general for the climate action team to agree to join. you are great to have you at misery. me, please say hello to stream audience and tell them who you are. what you do. hi, everyone around the world. good morning, the evening and also good afternoon. wherever you are watching us. my name is fine . i am from to them. and the chair of the us, the chris city, general advisory group on climate change get to have here and hello can we can't do this conversation route. you tell our audience why who you are and what you day. well, thank you for having me, fanny. hello everyone, i'm co barrett. i'm one of the 3 i p. c. c, vice chairs. so, audience come misery. there was a big meet him today. it was a close meeting. leaders around the world were gathering. they were being very kind
10:36 pm
age and the the you were saying, we need to take climate change. seriously. if you was miss rain, what would you have told those wild leaders to actually get them to take more action? what would you said? what would have been your pet talk? well, i guess i would say that unfortunately, we've been more than quarter century discussing something that already by science. and unfortunately, even most of the countries already ratified to the various agreements we still left behind when it comes to action. and i will tell them that it's our future that we'd be actually in dangerous, not only the future, but even even now, even the president that we are living in, in africa, on one of the countries and our route where other areas of the world. and i was very critical to wait because a lot, right. it doesn't really matter. now,
10:37 pm
if you are coming from a developed countries or developing countries, because climate crisis, when kids are or how, what would bring your advice to those wildly that it would have been candid, unfiltered. what would you said? well, is there a better answer than what mis ranger said and coming from the youth who are inheriting this earth that we are leaving for them? i think it's powerful, but i would say the earth is shouting, we need action. so when you're watching that, right, so was it close door because it was such an emergency and the world leaders had to be i'm just wondering whether the un secretary general gave them a dressing down. well, yes, it was a closed door meeting and the sector general convened us meeting really because the reality is we are way off track and he wanted to instill
10:38 pm
a sense of urgency on the dar state of the climate process. and he also wanted to hear directly from leaders what they intend to bring to cop 26 in classical way of target on emissions reductions on finance, on support for adaptation. and the good news is that leaders agreed on the sense of urgency the need for higher levels off ambition. and hopefully that will translate into increase in more ambitious commitments as we had towards grad school in the next 4 weeks. you twice a week. so yeah, you say you say, hopefully there's not much time between now what is known as cop 26, a big climate conference. it's happening in glasgow. people who are in the climate . so just take glasgow now or even say got 26. he's the secretary, which is a few days ago. you feel the sense of urgency of his speaking. have a look, have a lesson unless there are immediate rapid and large scale reductions in greenhouse
10:39 pm
gas emissions. we will be unable to limit the global heating to $1.00 degrees celsius, and the consequences will be catastrophic. comp 26. these november must mark the turning point by then we need all countries to me to achieve necessarily emissions by the middle of the century. and present clear, credible, long term strategies to get this i am wandering co, if this is incredibly, incredibly frustrating for you, the sciences there. we know, and we've known for a very long time, decades as a scientist. what is this moment like for you? you know, for me, it's not frustrating for me. i feel like society in general and governments are listening to the science like they never have before. sure. it's hard because the message is dire. i mean, you know,
10:40 pm
earth is likely hotter now than it has been in any moment since the last ice age 125000 years ago. every decade in the last 40 years has been warmer than the one before. so the evidence is now wanting. but i'm not frustrated, i'm optimistic. i think people are taking the science seriously and it should spar action. i'm going to play uri for you. i. so when he's a climate scientist, i'm going to play him to you and then ask you, then how do you tell what he says that science into policy and action? his yury. we already live on a change planet that has warmed by more than one degree celsius and where we are now experiencing the devastating impacts of flops, he twins or wildfires. science can now attribute these changes to our human activities in our greenhouse gases. that means we also know what we need to do to
10:41 pm
avoid this on getting vers greenhouse gases need to be reduced as dps possible and carbon dioxide needs to be reduced to 0. so when can you explain to us why he's so difficult to get government to actually have a climate change policy? we don't even have any red flags anymore. it's just the climate is changing in every single continent around the world. why is this difficult felt when? well, it's a very complex issue. the science is extremely clear. as you reset, of course said, there's mystery said government. no one didn't need to do. we need to cut emissions for about 45 percent below 2010 levels by 2030 and achieve that 0 emissions by 2050. but we're not seeing the national commitments. we're not seeing national commitments from governments,
10:42 pm
but the level of ambition that is required or in line with the sides. yeah. and the reality is that countries, i'm see this as difficult, hard choices need to be made. it means transformation of energy systems. it means transformation of transport systems, which is, which is very expensive, especially in the money sell when, if it's just about money and this is in these are missing. it's diane to, to interject. i mean, if you need to get them. so when you pick up off the back of his go ahead, we just, we just too cheap to save our product, misery. i think so, and it's so the i think that's why he thinks that the issue is but i think anyone who have mine inside of their head knows that it's the money.
10:43 pm
it's an interest issue. it's not easy to actually call a whole like the industry. they go through a lot of sectors. they actually even support a lot of factors the, the board sometimes the health sector. they even support some of the election companies are the world leaders nowadays. so money include interest, this is the triangle that actually taught the profit from happening. simply how to get complicated, why the razor is very obvious. it's interest and well thou and yet leadership by governments is absolutely critical. and we need governments to take the lead in 2nd, very clear climate commitments target. some policies are government can't do this
10:44 pm
alone. as miss reed said, we need the voices of young people who must advocate for their future. who must be these are young people whose future will be jeopardized, will not be able to realize their full potential every don't address the climate crisis. what we need to also holder leaders to leaders signed on to the paris agreement leaders committee to pursue the $1.00 degree goal of the pirates agreement. the current commitments place us at $2.00 degrees celsius. this is next set to, they're not living up to their commitments. so we can, i can i just just in just really obviously what, what the pages were and what we're actually seeing right now. have a look my laptop. hey, this is just a great graphic is a terrible graphic, but really easy to see. this is a climate action tracker. this is a 1.5 celsius paris agreement who is compatible gambia
10:45 pm
11 place. and then almost at all i sit agreeing to cutting the emissions and what they promised and what they've delivered. costa rica a, c o p, a kenya, morocco, nepal, nigeria, the u. k. insufficient, you can see all of these areas around here. look at this, the e, you view opinion as not even one country that many there usa here, highly insufficient, huge list here. and then critically insufficient russia, saudi arabia, thailand, there were promises and those promises have not been delivered. let's talk about the impact that's actually happening down the grant mission. good. you go 1st and i'm not, i'm going to bring him glad. he's also a young climate activist mystery thoughts read the diagram again. i just want to show you something that's actually go ahead. it's here, it's ready. yes,
10:46 pm
the countries who have a question and you see and the almost sufficient all of what you k are the following country. they are from them, from the lower emission, isn't that already me thing? the countries are property and meetings, and least of doing the most work. and the 3 just did that because because she's, she's almost diplomatic herself. she said n d c nationally determined contributions. that is the promise that was the promise that was made during the paris agreement and then whether they actually deliver, i want to bring him live here. miss. really find my, i'm going to play black to you because a lot is talking about climate change. it's happening right now where he lives. have a listen, have a look my home communion to the capital city. i don't know if they are dependent on climate change through the fate of the minister where we get 80 percent of our portable work. unfortunately, it is traditional, the new there is the grading with every single year,
10:47 pm
and there is no end in sight so far. and it said independent and scores on how the parents agreement is progressing in the field. unfortunately, the recent data shows that we are at best 50 percent way there, but we are still on the way to allow a warming that could be more than 2 and a half degrees. there is still a lot more action, require a lot more commitment and a lot more finance. so he'll this commitment as well. so co the risk assessment from the into government panel for climate change was that we all i to code read for humanity. there is no obscure language there. what does that mean in terms of the science? what are we seeing right now that is deeply, deeply scary? well, 1st i'll say that stories like the one shared by blood, our stories that we are seeing all across the globe. i mean, look at this is summer heat waves, drought fires,
10:48 pm
floods that like what we're seeing here across the globe recently is exactly what we envision to be typical of global warming. and they are also directly caused by global warming. so the report goes into detail about how the earth has warmed and how it's projected to warm in the future. it talks about how we are now able to attribute human influences to the climate extremes that we're seeing. the science finds that the next 10 to 20 years are critical, really, to getting the problem under control, we cannot continue to put off rapid and transformational action. the good news is though, if we strengthen our resolved an ac. now it's not too late to forestall. many of the most dire consequences reducing every ton of carbon pollution and
10:49 pm
avoiding every fraction of a degree of warming will not only lessen the harm over the next few decades. but we will reverberate for centuries to come. i am going to ask all, if you care to do a speed round, we have she advance on youtube right now. we have the question, and i want to instant officer from all 3 of you. if i may develop countries hom, the environment most, how do we convinced the carpet emission giant to change instant soft arthur, misery, new star? well, renewable energy, renewables. these, there is a big that in my regarding, i do right now. when you have an energy. so is a way, way to get the energy. unfortunately, the manufacturing of renewable energy materials are in your energy equipment yet not very cream green. so i think we should do green when you will energy this
10:50 pm
reduce a lot of, of the mission. it will also reduce the inequality because actually with our is a grid. so in this is your entire job. how the, how do you persuade the carbon emission giants to change is what she balance. aust, is what right now? what are you going to give him? well, my answer, it's in the economic interests of countries to, to be more ambitious on climate action. renewable energy in most parts of the world is much cheaper than coal power. and in many instances, fossil fuel, power, generation, and energy emissions account for 3 fourths of total emission. so it's in the economic interest. it makes good business sense for country company, for a city to be ambitious on climate change and to go greet making west i wow, how,
10:51 pm
what would you say? i would actually agree with what miss re inside and add to it a little bit. you know, this is an incredible opportunity for us to transform our economies. and we've already seen it with renewable energy solar and when prices are going down and it's so much more affordable, we just need to take that kind of action and apply it to transport. city, agriculture and, and kind of bring ourselves into the future here. it's time i was eating, go home. i think me and i said that we should find a grow for the already fall of why and how that i actually involvement in the under development are these development country big growth is carry story for a lot of people, but when you make it them, it makes a lot of sense because if i ask someone,
10:52 pm
do you prepare to leave you all happy and healthy life, or do you prefer to guide off and the guy bridge? i think most of us, which are no healthy life. and they don't have a wealthy live with a low medical help cation because don't make any geisha we cations and so on. so i guess the growth is a scary idea for a lot of people. but we might find it the only way the only solution to actually reduce the richard that we are already putting into the planet. so a couple of weeks ago, i guess the thing looked at the climate emergency and some of the climate activism that was happening, particularly a group called extension rebellion where they are taking a climate crises so seriously that they're using a very specific kind of protest. but on that show we had rupert read and it had.
10:53 pm
c a prediction about cop 26. remember that that big climate change conference is happening in scotland in november. haven't listen, have a look to what he said. and he told us on the stream a few weeks ago on believable a pulling in action on this for such a long time. we're now moving to a moment when that could change, which is the cock at all. go the big climate conference in november. but i'm going to say something on comes unpopular has century now and controversial, which is that back conference is virtually bound to fail. it will fail us as they failed us previously, even the parents agreement in 2015, which was an amazing diplomatic achievement, is a paper tiger. and we're on course for if we stick to the parents agreement, where on course, even then the civilizational meltdown. so the bottom line is that there are no adults, there is no capillary writing to the rescue. and really
10:54 pm
a crucial message that i would like to give to everyone watching tonight who was thinking, what can i do, or what, what should we do in this situation? is we need to act on this together and we need to act on it with our expectation that our governments are going to save us some right to the risk. wow. ok. i shot me when that happened on the screen. so when there's, i've seen a few of them for cop $26.00. i've seen a lot of cynicism for 26 and it's almost like the last chart saloon. are we putting a lot of pressure on our governments to be able to come up with something that is actually going to change where we are right now? so we thought cop $26.00? yes. i just talked to gerald said it this morning that if we don't change course, there is a high risk of failure at court 26 and he has being very clear in terms of what
10:55 pm
needs to happen. countries need to put more ambitious national national commitments on the table. they need to increase the climate finance that they're provided to developing countries. and they're also the to support federal developing countries are also, or on the front lines of the climate crisis with finance, in order to better adopt and build regions to climate change. but the reality is we have 5 weeks left. we need to use every day between now and 26 to get countries to be more ambitious and i'm not ready to give up yet. the sector general is not ready to give up. yet. the beauty of the parse agreement is that, you know, it's not a perfect agreement when it's our best hope of time in the climate emergency. i like allows countries to submit periodically there national commitment. and we've seen countries increase half countries,
10:56 pm
represented half of global emissions have submitted in d c's. and these indices hub or sorry, these national commitments, no acronym. and these national, our lead have lead to a reduction in emissions of around 12 percent. it's not enough. it's not enough, but every, every single ton of carbon, every single degree ads, every single ton of carbon that is we juice or avoid it helps us to get closer to $1.00. we're not there yet. there are 20 countries that represent 80 percent of global emissions. we need these countries to meet. what needs to happen next are funny that we ask teresa anderson, and this is what she told us. let's be frank. the world isn't on track to meet the paris agreement targets, either to limit women to 1.5 degrees or to provide enough climate finance to
10:57 pm
developing countries. so if we're to have a successful call $26.00, we need to see movement in 3 key areas. firstly, we need to see governments particularly the wealthiest allusive governments have done the most coolest climate crisis. taking far more action to be transformative to be radical, in fact, to start polluting and to reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions at national level. secondly, we need to see those same governments providing far more time finance to lower income countries. and thirdly, we need those governments for developing the international policy frameworks at cop $26.00 common negotiations to really close loopholes to greenwashing and to protect the rights of those on the frontline of the climate crisis. so thank you to i guess . thank you teresa selwyn, misery and co for being i guess to day and for sharing your knowledge and your
10:58 pm
insights on tang governments take action. i feel that they are optimistic, perhaps more optimistic than our audience watching. thanks for watching. i'll see you next time. take everybody ah ah, ah, ah, ah ah, ah, i've never seen showing much devastation or experienced how quickly everything can change. at the turn of ours and the events in india became much more than just story. one was we couldn't keep the people we cared about and 9 and there were times on and when i had to hold back
10:59 pm
every day i was driven to convey the connect of trauma to make sure that despite the high numbers, we didn't to get that every single dance, representative families in one moment and how much suffering could have been avoided. i became a journalist to tell the story of what is happening, but also show of the wider context. i'm elizabeth carano, i more more indians are going under the nar to become tall. ah, when i want to investigate the length some people are willing to go to reach new on al jazeera, teach, you know, you can watch english streaming live and i do 2 channels. plus thousands of our programs award winning documentaries. and you get to choose
11:00 pm
subscribe to, you choose dot com, forward slash al jazeera english. ah, me. hello, i'm marianne la, z and alonda. now main story. now, of course in orlando capitol kigali a sentence, the man whose life inspired the hollywood film hotel ra wanda 25 years in prison chorus. as a beginner is credited with sheltering and saving hundreds of people during the countries genocide in 1994. the later fell out with the president is convicted on terrorism charges that he continues to dispute. mark web is in good golly. the judge has been reading out the judgements in this court house and they said that recessive beginner is guilty.
