the stream coming up next day with us off to 16 years at the helm, angular macalucio 2nd damn is one of germany's most popular chancellor with his kristian democrat, struggling in the race to replace where the resurgent social democratic party and agreeing to making headway who will emerge in front and become germany's new leader, special coverage on al jazeera dues. i me okay on this week's bonus edition of the stream. the bonus is a special guest host. hello melissa flooding from the united nation city. so good to see you. that was one of the thing, my guest host. you do have a day job. we tell everybody what that is and what you do. grave to be with you and co, moderating with your family. yes, i'm head of communications for the united nations, which means i try to get the news out to the entire world. and language is people

understand and format that people are accessing for their information. and yeah, and to get people to sign up to, to the values that we are trying to promote. whenever you appeal on the screen, you always come with an issue, a passion that is very important, that you won't the well to know about. today's no exception. what she would be focusing on what you want to tell us. oh, well, you know, we're still a year and a half into the cobra, 1900 pandemic. and we know that the way out is that everybody in the world has access to the vaccines. but we're not there. so i'd really like to talk about vaccine equity. i'm going to show a tweet that you shared, and this was a few months ago. well, you can already say that you see that you're trying to get that message out. tell us more about the vaccine in equity. did you say that was from a few months ago? yeah, maybe it was. i'm going to, i'm going to ski out here. we can, we can actually have a look the way you see. yeah. maybe 81 percent have been given in

high income countries a few months later it's still really high and just 10 countries. it's like 733 percent of vaccines have been given in just 10 countries. that means the rest of the world is really desperate for vaccines when you take the content continent of africa, for example, only 3 percent of vaccines have been received by africans. and, you know, i'm here in the united states and all the talk is about 3rd doses. and a friend came up to me recently. and since when are you going to get your 3rd dose? you know, you wouldn't be you would be able to. and yet, you know, and it's like and someone from w h o said recently its like as if he were wearing a life jacket and the life jacket was just a little bit frayed. but there were all kinds of people around you who are drowning . and then somebody were to give you another life and the others would continue to

drive. so we need to give those life jackets to the people who need the most. and we have a goal to, to vaccinate. 40 percent of the world by the end of the year and it can be done. it's just we need those who pledge to share the doses to actually give them. and we need to double manufacturing. and we need much more funding to spend some hopeful messaging coming out of the general assembly on that. but it's it, we have a long way to go and people are still dying. 4.5000000 people have died from cove and 19 around the world. and it's just unacceptable when we have a way to stop these deaths, not to be doing everything that we can. all right, melissa, we are going to get this show start a thank you for bringing that issue vaccine inequity to us. we have talks about it on the stream, but today we have a very special program, which is why that you will co hosting with me. because the string teamed up with the un for a few days to talk about pricing,

global issues. you're going to see us some of the conversations that we had after the live show as melissa would say, behind closed doors. now of course we had to discuss climate change, but like, i guess my own acu sawyer, hindu amorro emperor, him and andrew hall a challenge. what is the best example of climate change adaptation on medication? you've ever see 3 child the tree child. i absolutely love our campaign and our project to plan for 1000000 trees over what started as 2 rainy season, but will now be 3. but what so exciting about it? because it's a major b solution. it's owned by communities. we are, we are restoring biodiversity. we are creating, contributing to the carbon sink, we are preventing land live in communities. we are restoring mangroves and all of this was creating hundreds of jobs. i'm really building

a sense of community ownership. i'm together as we work on transforming our city. oh, i didn't even hesitate in the i need to me that we fantastic project equality where the combined distribution of money to restore it by expanding data in nation where the plans in indian p and data doing at the country for the cost down and doing. he's having a car to play the can be nation, been you and have a direct impact on to the bottom line is the best example of how we can build lima and the caching techie. now what is a special advisor on climate actually the new and see all the un refugee agency really, and i'm peer about mitigation adapt patient. if you're going to come up with andrew

it's difficult to follow those to. it's always difficult as to what, what we have to be doing is not any will, can't mitigating access to energy. we actually have to be changing it to empowering people. if you look at how many people been displaced around the world, and like it's 900000000 people who displaced it's days just looking at cutting of pow, we have to provide more power and the anyway, which we can do that is weight frog use of fossil fuels, they don't have energy at the moment. we have to provide me with energy because that's a cornerstone of empowerment or dignity or providing access to livelihoods. so providing renewable energy to naughty the 90000000 people who have been displaced around the world. but to the hundreds of millions of people who are also in very fragile energy, efficient areas is not any the right thing to do. it's amazing opportunity for the private sector development act is to establish markets. because if you give people

hope, you empower people, they will deal with the rich, consult. but we, we, if it's no use just always coming up with a top down approach. but the be from new york or from geneva, from capital. you have to listen to the people, see what they want people to do not want to move. and this is where what hindu and mary vaughan was saying, so important, we need to support adaptation. we need support preparedness, and we need to empower people. it's going to be a win win situation, both the people and city environment it was really great actually, that's my former colleague and friend, andrew harper, to hear him and these amazing to women. i think it really what they're, they're all. so i love this concept and they're all 3 saying that same concept of empowering people locally. and people do not want to move. and climate change is

threatening many more people than those 90000000 who are already displaced, to have to move and to be forced to move. but there are local solutions, and i loved the planting trees and, and also the, the what, what andrew mentioned about providing energy. so it's not just all preventing and mitigating climate situations, but it's also provide empowering people to, to with jobs and livelihoods, and energy that is renewable to transform their community. so it's a really great ideas here, and it's if you look all over the world, it's incredible the creativity that people have and how that how they can get ready for climate change. how could they can adapt to climate change? they just need the resources. well, i was thinking what became very obvious, that conversation was political willie how important it will get so many things done in terms of global emergencies and global solutions. so how do you persuade

governments and policy makers to take meaningful climate action? i all 3 climate advises how they would convey the urgency of the climate crisis to governments. so in charles hot, got the conversation started in 2019. i was under a bunch different capacity, but i had, well, i visited the bahamas after her recon dorian, 2900. and what i saw on that island, it seems as though after a devastation, hurricane. a look to still a ball had dropped on the island and it quite frankly, if this is the future of humanity, the old battle recall and be bold and tackle in the climate crisis. i saw towns washed away people's entire lives and their life and just gone in

a flash with scores of people still missing weeks after this disaster. and we're seeing this all over the world. we shouldn't need to do everything we can to stop this crisis. and my simple message, it doesn't look good, we're off track, please don't lose hope. we cannot lose hope. we know what to do, and we have the tools to do cow your story. i'm going to to, i'm going to tell a personal story actually, and it doesn't cast me in a very good light. i've been working on climate for over 20 years. been involved with the intergovernmental panel on climate change. i was a former climate negotiator in the car process. and 3 years ago the ip cc put out a report on what on 1.5 degrees of warming. what would we need to do to keep warming to that level?

what would be the impacts if we were able to hold the temperature there? and, you know, i've been working on climate for ever. and it was that report that just woke me up . it was like all of a sudden these temperature targets are not some time in the long future. this is now and i, it just made me completely look at the way i live my life. i drive my car, i fly airplanes. and it's embarrassing to say it took, it took that, but it really was a report that should act. we have to act now and it woke me up. and now your woke that threw me work. misery wrap us out with your story. i want to think from what god just mentioned. it's not really the future. it's now not here. dan had a poor lot since humbly here. so i spent like

a century off lot but never that devastating. i visited many areas that was impacted like let me change and bye bye bye. know just so and all of the stories i was hearing was so coming like deeply into my heart. not only because we did not close this because we did not go this, but because the farmer citizens, he didn't know what he think bye or what is coming to them. and now i've been receiving a phone call every every few seconds, asking me, should we like do the farming processes, should we start? the firing process is all really how well begin here. because for people who doesn't know what happened, it doesn't want to destroy the existing or so forbidding you are to farmer from doing other agricultural courses because they need to wait and do what the right.

unfortunately, both of our apartments are very much depending on my call, like my other dry cross, but like drive for example, that needs a lot of water. so on making these one grow communities very rural area and very vulnerable sector, which is for example, ready to climate change drainage with onboarding system. we're building the communities with stopping glove and it's not warming at this moment. i really what i wanted to see if that well, you know, it's interesting to hear these, these climate experts actually giving these examples where they themselves even felt that they needed this to wake up to realize that climate change is happening now. and i was struck by what cell when said, you know,

this is the future of humanity. we all better wake up. but he also said, and i know and also co mentioned, we need to act now because it's not some theoretical thing that's going to happen in the future. it is actually happening before our eyes and i think of so many of us were struck by our own examples. i mean, i was in the west coast this summer and it, it was a 115 degrees. i've just never felt that heat. the drought was just terrible, the lake mead was drying up. a few weeks later i was in greece, and people were telling me that they no longer had spring and that their gardens were not growing. and a few weeks later, you know, it was a blaze and wildfire. so i think i'd just like to reinforce though, what, what all of the panelists said, and that is, we know we know the science. we're seeing it happening before our eyes, but we can't lose hope and i think that was cell one's appeal. i worked with him so i know there are

a lot of very distress people. there been studies recently that children are feeling terrible. anxiety about climate change right now and their future. we do have the tools and there is a way out let's of we all need to you, i'm to get you and the advisors was, were saying that this is very possible and i just want you to give me a yes or no on a scale of 0 to 10. the urgency at un headquarters right now is what? 0 to $10.00. 10 is incredibly urgent. where is it? tad ike? good tan. it has to be a tad. we are, we are in, in this the, the high commissioner has. sorry, the secretary general of you and has called it a red alert for humanity. many times i've heard that yeah, yeah. for humanity and it's been quoted over and over and over again. really. so i'm gonna, i'm gonna move on that the climate crises is never far away,

but i'm going to take us now to italy, the homeless chef maximo both tura and he is a you and environment program, goodwill ambassador, who is on a mission to tackle global food waste his massimo explaining how his work the attention of the us. i start this project on universal exposition and that after that, we start that we move to the olympics that the, the year out there in rio de janeiro. and these projects they've got so successful that we start opening all the is the record audio, as we call these amazing soup kitchen. and that the united nation started watching us because that our project is much more than just the feed that people need. but it's about to, you know, that rescue their food ways that otherwise would be because of climate change.

and, and that, or like hell but, you know, people to, to, to have another opportunity in life that so if that and the same, you know, older electricity that human capital there, water that takes to produce. so imagine how many goals that we are embracing, you know, within the project. so that's why the united nation, they were so interesting what i was doing and you know, like that we became, we became and we arrived where we are and we keep working. we keep opening and now we are ready, new york in san francisco. we open at 2 days ago. and we have that. we also have geneva before the end of the year. so i'm just wondering,

i'm just looking at this picture for you here on my laptop. i am wondering if the united nations have what they dealing with ships all nation jury terry's my take a little bit complicated. they have egos, all of this, you are throwing at the united nations environment program. how was i handling that? you know, i wrote a book that is called, never trust us giving dies in chef. you know why i gave that little because the chef are taking themselves too seriously. we have to have a little bit of irony. we have to have that a little bit of clean jose and be open any ronnie, 2 hours that but the end we are cook and the, and that's what it is, you know. and so, you know,

when i say when, when i have to say and express what i'm doing every day, i say, you know, guys what i'm doing every day. but just gonna, i compress into edible by my passion. music are, you know, the fact guard but also sitting on the story because mike was being deeply valeo but feel there by a contemporary mine. that's very important because be no style. jake, you don't evolve. but being critic. you can take the back from the back into the future, and that's our, you know, our goal as an audio shop. i cannot leave all our, the story on the side. what, what a, what an amazing ambassador to fight against food waste. because his project is

actually to take the food waste of these gore many restaurants and turn that waste into its not even waste a very edible leftovers into 3 course meal for people who couldn't afford it. and who are vulnerable and who are hungry. and just to say that, you know, we are increasingly finding personalities, celebrities, in all kinds of sectors. to help us spread spread our messages, whether it's peace and security, we have messengers of peace or whether it's in medicine you may, i just, and you the messengers of music may help us reach more people than we could ever dream of fem me. when i know any exam, what you're about to say brings me when you and i see melissa, we try really hard not to use acronyms, but i'm going to use one now b t s. i am going to show you interviewing bts just

a few days ago. your, your, your tweet that went out there. it had over a 121000 likes it was retreated so many times is that your most? why will tweet of all time? yes, that is my most viral tweet of all time. and actually the interview on our youtube channel has over 4000000 views. so this is definitely the most viral interview i've ever done as well. but it's for the un, it's been the social media posts around this amazing b t. s. appearance at the u. n. have actually been our most popular post in the last 2 years. so at the un enabled us to bring people, all kinds of people who never would have thought to click on the us website or you and you too much and to, to come to us. melissa, what was

a b t s always saying to you just very briefly because we're almost at the end of the show. yeah. you know, what was really wonderful was to see the reaction of the fans which are called the b t. s. army, which was really just so full of positivity. and what i loved about it too was that they took time so many of them hunters that bout about and took time to comment and not just to say, oh thank you for bringing bts to the un, which they did. but also, i'm going to be the change that they're suggesting. i'm going to do things differently. i'm going to to, to learn more about the sustainable development goals. and so this was really wonderful way to see, i don't think we've ever seen this kind of engagement and positivity among ordinary . let me pull around, we can talk about bts without playing them. so i'm going to say thank you so much

for being my guess. co, how, how would you like to take a bye to our audience around the world? well, i thank you to the al jazeera stream audience for tuning in its been a great to be co moderating this session with me and take care everyone. thank you . lisa fleming. all right, so i'm going to leave you. i never thought i'd ever say this with b t. s. and permission to dance film that the united nations general assembly. thanks for watching the next time the the got it. ah, what it seems like out of
