ref up inside story stage, and thanks for watching back now. ah, [000:00:00;00] with from the creation of plantations and the birth of the industrial revolution to slavery of mass migration is colonialism to blame for the dire situation we faced with climate change. this is inside story. ah hello, welcome to the program. i'm adrian said. an exhibition looking at the legacy of

colonialism and the role that it played in the birth of climate change has opened in london, 11 artists with a personal connection to africa, the caribbean and south america have pinpointed environmental change as a racial process with deep brutes and colonial history through this collection of artworks, the overlapping crises of environmental damage and colonialism. a put under scrutiny. i'll just here as jessica baldwin has been to have a look. mountains of sugar piled high in a french warehouse, harvested in sugar cane plantations across the globe. the sweet cargo travels thousands of kilometers to feed europe. it's a pattern of tre, dating back hundreds of years. and as this exhibition argues, that history holds the roots of current climate change. we are history challenges visitors to take a different perspective. to go back in time to when european nations colonized much

of the world, extracting natural resources, forcing millions into slavery, and setting up the plantation system. from the colonial period onwards, we had these patterns of movements of shapes, movements of people, movements of product, movements of commerce, movements of communication. if we want to understand what climate change look fucking, how brought that about as a human species. we can look at our practices across hundreds of years, worked by artists with a personal connection to the developing world. traced the link between empire building and pillaging of the land and the native people. a drawings by dutch sailors celebrating the plentiful as they arrived in africa, where their large scale plunder left a number of animals extinct. the archive photograph of young men and a boy piloting their canoe. madagascar seeks to re dignify the subjects, not

a docile group. the black braid surrounding the hanging speaks to the enslaved people working together to resist as best they could be resilient, and to survive. we stand as a testament to that survival. um, and i think, you know, we, we live within a globalized systems that still use these extracted practices. and so actually, for the majority of people out there, they don't that you know, that the economics of the plantation haven't really gone away. michelle is in a colonial era building. somerset house was the headquarters for the british navy. the power britain relied on to rule a large part of the world. the global trade patterns of that empire persist poorly paid factory workers in the developing world providing cheap goods to consumers in the north. jessica baldwin al jazeera london. we'll, we'll introduce you to our panel in just a moment, but 1st, let's take

a look into the background surrounding climate change and links to colonialism. the 1st evidence of man made climate change dates back to the early days of the industrial revolution in the 1800s. that's when mass manufacturing was born. it went hand in hand with colonialism. as western nations used slave labor in large scale farming and to extract raw materials, industrialized countries grew their economies by burning fossil fuels. and he, scientists believe that those emissions lead to an increase in the planets average temperature around the year, 1830 created by practices, ball of a colonial mindset to create wealth. climate change has become one of our most pressing threats. and fittingly next week the you and climate summit will bring governments together in scotland to decide the goals of the parish agreement. aah! so let's bring it our guests in london. we have with us at echo ashley. he is the

curator of that exhibition. we were hearing about just a few moments ago. we are history and from hamburg, yoga zimmer. he's a professor at the university of hamburg focusing on colonialism, genocide, africa, and post colonial memory. gentlemen, welcome to you both echo. let's start with you. tell us more about the thinking behind this exhibition. it aims how you went about selecting the artists and what their work is saying to us. well fishing, as you can, we are histories at sunset house, london to group exhibition with 9 artists whose puzzle origins lie in the global south in africa, the caribbean, south america, and whose artists have individually dinner work at the being ex. lori, in these complex are legacies and relationships between colonialism and climate change. they do that for

a range of different practices in terms of photography filled tapestry. oh, rich. and, but the main issue, i think the main issue space of the exhibition as a whole is to, i think, try expand some of our discourse and discussion are around, whoa, we think of what we talk about, what we see when we discuss climate change. so conventionally waiting for climate change, something really that, that, that the close of the road hemisphere is a modern, compact with industrial revolutionary. more recently, the artisan is christian and its mission is a poll, suggested if you really want to understand the beginning origin of how we got to where we are right now. as a pallet, we have to go back to the 16th century to the 17th century. and the beginnings of colonialism when you, when you go 1st large scale mass movements of people,

granite force migrations are 3 slavery. when you go a large scale shift in our environment as a consequence of plantation agriculture mano cult molly. i kind of money agriculture. when you got the right, it's all extract here. my in practice isn't says good morning. so yeah. who are, these are pretty, i echo is the end of the kind of echoes you, as you said, it explores the complex legacies of colonialism. but why should people care what's the, what's the relevance to now, as we face the climate emergency that we currently are facing? i mean, i only think, i think if we want to really grapple with grass or even understand or gauge with the really a central question to climate change, i think it helps if we can figure out how to tell stories,

how to have narratives that we can understand and, and most of those narratives that we live with currently are confined to the northern hemisphere. so we think climate change, we think perhaps, or for a major as i fall on the computer there on a shrinking piece of ice. this exhibition and work of these artists, i think office in new ways of looking at new ways of thinking about a change by looking through the perspectives of people in the developing world. by suggesting the ways or engaging with nature, the global south, different digits, communities have had for centuries and generation a don't offer us some weight. treasure in nature, understanding is for jill. a 2 unit for nurse and thinking about how environment

climates in developing world or be affected profoundly by climate change. i think this is about expanding some of our frame of reference and our discussion. you're going to what extent is today's climate emergency due to an ongoing form of colonialism with thinking about huge corporations polluting, exploiting workers, pillaging the planets, mineral wealth. oh, great. do. of course, we have a political, the colonization, and a 1960 s, but we never had a economy economy. and a lot of static cannot make structures in which a revised road is operating. i stem from, from, from, to cologne, globalization. so we have to take this into account and we need to be colonized not only our ms young's something which is a important topic at the moment in europe. but we have to be colonized our

structures. we have to be colonized, oh, economic system be after the colonized, our way of living. basically. we are facing a exist anxious threat or the most exhaust stanford threat humanity ever has faced . and we really need to have the colonizing our way. our way of looking at the road and our narratives and, and, and, and basically everything you're going with, we started and, and our discussion with the exhibition in london and the interrelations between today's climate emergency and the legacies of colonialism. how important do you think it is that the people acknowledge that connection? i think we need to acknowledge this, and that was my, my starting point into restocking research and thinking about this topic was to say, how did we get to where we are? this is through colonial globalization and why i'll be the, the people in the globe or north,

a completely unable to really understand this existential threat and to act accordingly. and i think both this link for a 600 years, europeans are used up more resources, then they produced on their own and would have been their normal share per capita. and, and not only did we get into the mess, which we are now through this, this capitalist system, which, which is based on growth and consumption. it also makes us in the global north, unable to address that issue properly. because we also learned over 600 youth that we got away with because the people who suffered from this resource extraction from this over use an over consumption of resources that the people that login osh and now when, when it hits closer to home to us. yeah, and eva,

and we still think it's not serious. we get our babies. we just need a technique are fixed because we can't imagine that that it's not working out because it worked out for us for 600 years. as you probably saw just a few hours ago, we've been joined by a 3rd guest. stefan singer is from the climate action network international. he's a senior climate science and global energy policy advisor. he's with us now from brussels. stephan really good to have you with us does identifying the beginnings of climate change as we have been talking about here, help us deal with the current climate emergency. if you look into d colonization in the count, in a context of climate change, when you need to look into that, we have them the, the rich middle class us, many of the north, but increasing the all of this house. and the upper class of cross of color, nice to spaced was your 2 emissions would stay there,

rob patel's and yes. and which course climate change in the atmosphere at an atmospheric sense. so that's the way what we need to be was to pay back our ecological app in one way or the other. i wouldn't say it's limited to the nurse and it looks also increasingly the middle classes and the rich classes of the south, which can heights behind, behind the, the north only and always gives us something we're addressing internally, plumbing, ex, network. but the less the majority of the emissions and this, the suitcases, carbon dioxide emissions from burning for so field coming from a classical rich northern masons like the u. k. the u. s. germany, rutter, japan, and a couple of others. what is this? is this, this kind of, if you want, if you, if you call it vantage or, or leadership negatively, the ship is being fitting away because we're going to be taken up by the middle

class and the rich gloves of india, china, south africa and others, right? i think we need to be, we need to be aware that there's a common understanding that they need to decala nice and it comes with climate change stuff, colonize yeah. or cover. and i can see the stephanie, you talked about about paying back. i think the public these days understands the climate change is real up. that argument is one, right? and people think it's fairly safe to say worried. does the public though understand the costs involved in fixing the problems? i mean polluters should play, of course. but what about the public? well, i don't know what the public you're thinking. i'm coming from a scientific perspective. and i think that most people would understand that you have for that to happen. responsibility. as a precautionary principal, of course, something you have to pay for repairing it and one way or the other. so we need to reduce significantly our emissions. i think that's coming in the standing,

anyone that is not a given thing. give them the staples of our, of our climate. but the, the 2nd thing is how do we repair for the loss of damage? is that occurred in the house, developing countries from one communities, but also increasingly in the north. but as i'm saying, what we have to do as well, to pay for leverage money, finances for paying those communities to do adapt to climate change both resilience and simply pay for loss or damages. the kind of after, after adaptation, loss or damage is coming in a big way. and this will be one of our priorities for the upcoming climate conference. last which we'll, we'll get onto it in just a moment, but you're going to show you shaking your head a few moments ago. not sure whether that was in disagreement or agreement, but don't want to pick up on what stuff i was saying that. yeah, i think stephan is right, but it's, it's not enough to pay compensation or reparation of whatever for,

for local communities. i mean, the colonial globalization has shown that be ever, ever more an equal distribution of wealth on the globe. and in order and the, i know double bind because in the north we say, okay, we are, we are ready for 0 emission in the future. and keep our, our level of comfort, our way of living. and that won't be possible because the large part of the globe was a, has a right to, to increase their, their standards of living. and their consumption levels are we need go with social justice and that means that we need actually to lower our living standard in the lower north in order to allow that lower south to get some increase in their wealth . i mean, the stephanie was right to say this is also a point now for the elite in the global south. and the middle classes,

which also need to adapt. but on a lower level, the need a reduction or lowering of our living standards in the north and here to allow others to grow and increase their, their consumption level. and that is something which we need to tower our people. and nobody really wants to tell everybody hopes for, for a logo, global fix, and as a, as a flight need to fix. and as i said, that just because we used to it because i was 600 years. when you get more resources, we went somewhere else and got the resources there. and in science fiction, we now and not only in science fiction, we talk about the colonization of, of the moon or the mass, which is just the continuation of this narrative that we can increase consumption and listen. but the simple fact we can't, and that is something which we need to, to tell the people and a echo cartoon just just a moment, but, but you're going, i just want to ask you

a question about the mindset that allows people in one part of the world to live beyond their fair share of resources at the expense of others. globalization as a form of, of, of colonialism. yeah, i mean that is, i mean that is my observation when i see that people, even in germany, which are quite sensitive about climate change, still thinks that they can't just go on living the way. or they used to live and over said because we will find a way forward and, and that they are in denial, in denial of, of, of the way germany, europe has acquired the richest and in denial of the conic ranches off this climate emergency. and i think it's time to really tell the truth, and we need to think ahead and find a new way, a global social justice approach to this in an a global scale to say you have to

change basically everything in order to survive. this emergency occur. she said, this exhibition is made up of work, or many from artists from, from the global south in what ways have, has the legacy of colonialism and its impact on, on climate change affected that their work. i mean, it, it runs entirely through their work there. well, their work has a politics to it because in built in the photographs of the films or tapestries they make, there's a clear wang social injustice and inequity between north and south. but also they work as a poetry to it as a visual power teacher because their work is deep imbedded in working from the perspective of people and places and communities and memory is within america,

carrier africa. which is to say to one of the ways that we can start to a fact some of the shifts of your other speakers are talking about is through an expansion of our own imaginative reach. is through being able to stevie through the eyes of other people. and perhaps reach closer to a sense of understanding of what's at stake, o, the b team, preciousness of the natural world in different parts of the world, of the climate and the peoples and environment. so, understanding that these legacies in play isn't just to lamenting. it's also a way of saying, look, let's shift our perspective. let's expand our imagine to reach in order, but to understand what's at stake, but also to recognize that there are more possibilities in play about how we can

talk about how to think about climate change. as a consequence, i want to start to cover this differently about stephan is, as you pointed out, this exhibition opens ahead of the, the top $26.00 climate conference in glasgow with with progress on the 2015 parents agreement. still lagging me. what are the chances of cop 26 actually being anything more than just a talking shop but results in more empty promises? i dunno to be very honest. i think taurus johnson makes a good job on hopping an up and making a propaganda show. and that will be one of the cops some which might end up in nice commitments on the paper. and they picked us on the shelf, but nothing which is the materialize of all which are some granular and precise. unfortunately, we had a couple of good cups in the past, starting from kyoto, going to paris. but most of the caps have been just empty paper. unfortunately,

that doesn't speak against multi lateral agreements and mighty lateral get together . i think if the goes through that one. but i think the real fight is on the ground, the real fight is not on his caps. and is this on the regions as in the cities, as an a countries and a parliament. that's where the commitments are being done by the implementation has to be great. i think we need, we need to be need to be clear about this one. let me say one thing about the, the over all and up, and i might be a little bit exaggerating here on the understanding a, we have to tell our people in our rich countries, supposedly rich countries. they all have to give up their livingston as teresa livingston, as i think that's a very detrimental approach. i think we need to differentiate whom we asking that one. i think we need to go for emma coming from a social justice movement on a trade unionist. i'm a socialist for many years and i think we really, really differentiate and tell and tell and tell the public there certain folks, certain classes. ok who benefit from the current situation to benefit from the failure of the states?

yes. to address texas and equity and others were suffering. we have in germany. revenue was mentioned in germany about 30 percent in poverty were working the, the increase, the increase of the minimum wage us now from 9 euro to 12, euro in germany, which might be coming up with senior coalition effect. 37 percent of the population . the 77 percent of the population have a wage per hour, which is less than 12 euro. yoga i need a very quick answer from you. do you know your comments? your thoughts on that brittany queen elizabeth this week was, was, was overheard expressing her frustration with the politicians being all talking and no action. what are your thoughts on call? 26 she is. she is right. and if copper 26 doesn't get paid do away with the ideology of growth and consumption, then it's failing because that's what we need them to tell us that we need the ideology of growth. let to this you faster on this ideology in place. we can't,

we can't short it out. that gentleman, i'm afraid we're gonna have to wait it without a time. many thanks. indeed sir, for being with us. echo ashan yoga and some other and stefan singer. and as always, thank you for watching. don't forget, you can see the program again at any time just by going to the website at al jazeera dot com for further discussion. join us on our facebook page that's at facebook dot com forward slash ha inside story. and you can join the conversation on twitter handle at ha, inside story from me. avery and finnegan, the whole team here. it though. huh. thanks for watching. we'll see you again, bye. for now, ah
