hello and welcome to the program. i'm rob matheson, the cop $26.00 climate conference in glasgow is at it's half way point. world leaders have spent the past week debating ways to cut carbon emissions and limit a global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees celsius. but many environmental as say, they're disappointed so far. i wrote as it was held what they called a global day of action on saturday. hundreds of thousands of people. valley new cities including london, sol, nairobi, and sydney, the largest was in central glasgow demonstrators. many of them, young people, demanded immediate action from governments. if they in ohio, but below him was yes, i am angry and we've been saying this for years. i knew the point of no return, but governments and just not listening. many schools being destroyed because team events. i need someone to tell me how to explain to families who are losing their

jobs and flags that seem to never hangs her head off day. didn't do enough for climate this week at the club 26. and it's very scandalous for us because it's a crime against humanity to do and to do nothing against the this section of life on earth until euclid among the logistics. i want my children to live on a beautiful planet in the future, not only my children, but all the children, the trees, the birds plants, and all the people. i think we have to leave a beautiful planet. i think we owe that to our children and the planets. well, here's what's been pledged at the summit up to no more than a 100 countries of green to end deforestation and land degradation by 2030. 25 nations signed up to stop spending money on foreign fossil fuel projects by next year. and several governments were promised a phase of the use of coal in the coming 10 years for rich nations and in 2 decades

for developing countries. they also said they've cut methane gas emissions by at least 30 percent, but rich nations will have to pay more to help poor ones tackle the climate crisis, some wealthy government, so place to contribute towards a 100000000000 dollar fund set up for the developing world. ah, okay, let's bring in our guests in glasgow. david embargoes call me. he's a climate activist and a medical doctor in sterling. also in scotland, mark rascal, member of the scottish parliament and the scottish green parties spokesperson on climate and the environment. and in my porto mozambique ditty but naga international climate justice and energy program coordinator at friends of international welcome to the program mark. i'm going to start with you. where are people confident? at any stage that politicians at cop $26.00, we're actually going to be able to put together something that in practical terms

was going to work. i don't think the confidence has been there. no, and i think probably quite a lot of the blame for that has to come and do the u. k. presidency. i don't think we've seen the kind of intensity of diplomatic effort that we saw before the power agreement 6 years ago where the french state had hundreds and hundreds of bilateral meetings and multi lateral meetings with parties ahead of that, that critical cop summit which deliver the parents agreement, now that you take, i will say that there are reasons for that. and the kobe crisis being one of those, but of course, caught, was delayed for a year. so, you know, there is concern that despite the commitments we've seen this week, this isn't going to match up. and i think you know that the analysis from week one is already showing the commitments that parties are already made only amounts to about 40 percent of the cuts of emissions that are going to need to make desperately in the next 10 years to keep the world safe within 1.5 degrees of

global heating. so we're, we're, we're not there yet. it feels that this is coming very late on and clearly the world it started decades ago. we wouldn't be having this scrabble at the moment to try and make commitments that are actually gonna deliver us and deliver what the science demands that we deliver duty. we're the colony house phase, a think global act local. how much do political promises actually matter when it comes to tackling the results of climate change? the political promises do matter because it's what the countries are putting on the table because the climate crisis is really so inherently unjust. to defect. those the most that have done the leads to created. so we mean that leadership, we need those promises coming, especially from the rich countries who have done so much to create this crisis. but at the same time, we see that this is all hi, what's been coming out of the car this week. it's so much about proceed. so much

hype the forest agreement, the fossil fuel agreement, there are so many loopholes and caveats, and all of those that it really does. it really does feel like it, you know, what we say is that people power and what's actually going to drive this transition . and is going to bring justice, it's important for us to hold our leaders to account because we're the ones who elected them. they need to be responsible to us, the people, not the polluters. at the same time. we know that it's people all across the world . 150000, but much didn't law school yesterday. all of those that much all across the world. that to going to really bring this, this transformation that we need. the difference of talking about those protests we saw in glasgow that we mentioned before that many of the people who are processing were young people. now we often talk about young people putting climate change as a priority, but aren't we specifically talking about young people in rich countries? one would imagine the younger people in put countries don't really have the option

or perhaps even the ability or even the, the intention to deal with climate change because their needs are so much more of a priority to them. yeah, absolutely. that, that's the right and it is got to say that for me to do it while the events where i have seen the less i'm on the diversity ever unfortunately like a particular patient. and the end of also, of people from low, middle income countries reflect awesome that they don't discussions that we're having. i do feel like the type of discussion about that i have here in the past few days are mostly related to high income countries. talking about solutions that might work in, in countries where there is more resources for sure. there's more of the patient already in place, but night might not be feasible in settings that are still facing issues such as montana mortality, children, nutrition being an issue. so that the still a complicated matter,

i feel we have heard that these are the most exclusive got ever. i definitely agree . and these are unfortunately, because we're here to make to make progress. and we need to have the, the, the people who are facing the consequences of climate change, the part of the discussion here. they should be the one where it's planing what, what the issue is. they should be the ones explaining what are they, the solutions that are feasible right now, but it's not happening unfortunately. did he did? how much of a problem do you think it is that people who are often discussing climate change? certainly those with the highest profile, discussing climate change, a very often the ones least likely to see the impact that it actually has when we talk about rivers and he's drawing up an animal is dying. this is a real crisis because we really need to hear from the frontline communities, indigenous peoples, local communities who are, whose bodies are on the frontline of this crisis. and it's not just this crisis, right. the climate crisis is not separated from so many of the crises that people

are facing an energy crisis. how many people across the globe, 800000000 do not have access to electricity? biodiversity crises. so people who are on the front lines of these crisis really must be the ones that we hear from and your question today, it was really beautiful because there are so many youth also in our southern countries. it is difficult to be an activist in many of our countries because livelihood, and so bible sometimes take priority, but we forget that there are you and so many vulnerable communities in the frontline communities that are facing goal and gas extraction. and these, these youth are also fighting back we see this year and was a big my organization just to be on thought, which is friends of the muslim b is working with you and impacted communities still be able to raise their voices because it's absolutely critical that the leaders hear from people who are most impacted by these crises. mark, one of the phases that is used more often these days is climate fatigue. of course,

now are we seeing a fatigue with the discussions around climate change, or are we seeing fatigue way for some see, is the empty promises being made by corporations and by politicians? i mean, i don't think we're seeing fatigue with the debate. i mean, at all levels the society around the world climate change, the impacts of climate change being discussed. you know, i spent a good few days in run to court going schools in scotland and listening to the amazing ideas that young people having, you know, even at 89 year olds are coming out with in relation to how we can make easy changes to tackle climate change, so i think the important thing is that we listen to those voices and what i'm seeing around glasgow at the moment and around the world is a lot of innovation. a lot of citizens assemblies coming together, sometimes sponsored by government to actually work out, you know, the best way to cut admissions. the best way to adapt to the climate change is

coming. and i think the critical thing here in our, is for governments beyond these 2 weeks in class, go to listen to their citizens. listen to some of the challenges that people are facing at the moment in terms of adapting to climate change, but also listen to their thoughts around how we can put in place solutions. and you know, we've had a good debate here in scotland around free bus travel, for example, for young people is something that young people being telling us directly that they won't see to live it. so they can cut climate missions but also give them the opportunities for education at work which, which otherwise they would struggle with. that's something that, you know, the greens and government are delivering here. but we need a, we need a much deeper dialogue with citizens around the world, about the impacts, about how we adapt to them, but also listen to the solutions. i think most inspiring things i've heard this week has been the contribution of indigenous leaders around the world to have a very different way of thinking. but they can also come up with a solutions as well wish and not just for the here and now. but for multiple

generations to carmen, given the indigenous people that lands cover, about 80 percent of the worlds by diversity. if we don't listen to indigenous leaders, we're not going to find the solutions to tackle with the climate and the nature emergencies you've been. you're obviously there, where do you think the breakdown happens between politicians, between corporations and the grassroots, is aware sources of information like the indigenous people you are talking about who are able to provide this kind of information? what, what, why is that line broken? why is that link not working? we need new ways of, of engaging with systems around the world. i think that's why some of the climate citizen assemblies that have been been working around the world of being very successful. the one in france for example, recommended to that government that they should be curbing and restricting the gross domestic flights and the government listen to that and they and they, they took action. but i think of course,

as an allison in the room here in glasgow and, and it's the corporations, it's those vested interest that need to legally, to appease the shareholders. and of course, are working behind the scenes to come up with false solutions that they want to see governments push. and although i've not seen, stands from all in gas corporations inside caught this week. it's very clear that their agenda is written through a lot of the energy strategies and climate strategies of all the governments that we see and as an attendance. so you know that there is a, there is another dialogue here which is where those powerful corporations that clearly want to resist change. some of them, of course, are prepared to move fast enough and d carbonized, but others have got asset. so they want to high on to and they want to keep exchanging on gas until every single last drop is gone. do you think that seeing for one of a better phase superstar climate change activists like dress, a sun bug, and others, of course, does that inspire people or do you think that,

that intimidates people that perhaps in an individual basis, they feel that they can't do anything i'm because the only way to get anything done is to have that kind of platform. i definitely think that is inspiring to see young people leading the climate change movement right now. but i do think that he's also reflect that the climate change issue is an issue of injustice. i cannot climate change is they'd be getting their genetic injustice ever seeing. and they require for young people. and the lesson to actually like a said bob on going to the 3 i'm going to school strike is a huge indicator of how bad the situation is right now. and how much, how much everything, how much action is needed to take place immediately. unfortunately, i have seen that representation matters, and we should, we also, as i said before, including faces from the global house who are also doing amazing work at the local and regional level in terms of b client with james activities. working with roger that are going to be safe around

stations and we have making some progress that is for sure. i mean, we have, for example, one is on that. that was also part of the, of the different. it's tried in this couple of base and has been doing an amazing work as well. but we can definitely do better in terms of meeting invoices from the global saudis today, the climate change movement and raising those voice well tipsy. let's talk again more about the messaging because the media uses words like crisis and catastrophe, disaster and fight. when it comes to tackling climate change. how much do you think that has an impact on the way that people respond to climate change? that's a great question because what we are seeing is a trotting out of this field. narrative is despair and desperation narrative. and that is very disempowering. so we actually as climate activists, we fight against that because we talk about what mark was saying, but there are communities that are making real change right now on the ground. and

they've been doing it for a long time that our communities who are running a renewable energy cooperative. there are communities who are taking food production into their hands and doing that in a good way of stopping deforestation. you know that there are communities fighting for gender justice and about the valuing of care work. so all of this is happening and, and we know that that is what we need to be supporting. and i also wanted to respond to your question to the, if you don't mind the issue of the leaders, the personality, i think it's very inspiring that vanessa and grants are up there. and speaking, we need to have so many more of those wonderful young women and men standing up and talking about the need for 4 people power. we need so many more people to be joining this conversation. and it is very inspiring to see a few people you know, to be able to, to see how they get traction in this way. but at the same time,

we need to be recognizing the beauty and value of, of what each person brings into the fight. because it's going to take all of us to have this transformation, it's system change that we're trying to bring about. it is really big and it seems daunting for source systems. and all of this seems really daunting, but we just can't give into that feel narrative. it's meant to divide us, we need to be really talking about the things that you my does, but that the beauty that's in the world, the work that's already happening on the ground and. and again, going back to the, the issue of the franklin community. those are the voices that we need to be hearing and lifting up because that is what we should be valuing mark. how easy do you think it would be to turn the messaging around and why hasn't it happened before? i mean, i would decrease to see that there's there intrinsically positive things happening around the world. and i think it, you know, and now in multimedia rage, you know, you only have to go on your phone on twitter, on social media platforms,

youtube. and you can find the most incredible stories. i think the key thing is to now amplify those voices. i think the government's to help to empower the citizens as well. so 11 thing that we've had in scotland for a while is the climate challenge fund where community grants can bit into this fund . and they can do all sorts amazing things that can help people in fuel, poverty, with energy efficiency work, they can set up a bicycle, recycling initiative or food production or whatever. and i think it's for governments to really empower people. i think in terms of narrative there's, you know, that there's, obviously, we've seen the most devastating images this year, particularly floods in germany, wildfires the arctic as well. and i think that there is an element of fear there, but i think you know what we accept. we need to very quickly move on and recognize the actually and adapting to climate change. and in tackling our missions we can make the world farrah an a better place. and you know, we live in remarkable times as incredible amounts of innovation happening

everywhere in society. at the moment and is the opportunity to make our lives much better and much farrah as a result. but there will be some battles along the way. and you know what i see yesterday and the streets in glasgow was resigned. but i also saw a lot of hope and a lot of trying to see from people what a knowledge about how to tackle these this climate crisis and how to come out of it with a better diety. that's focus much more in our well being and human values rather than just endless economic rugs and debate. do you think it'll be more effective if we stop saying we're trying to solve the climate crisis and started talking about managing climate change? because solving the climate crisis right now. seems like i mean norma's and almost impossible task. managing it and dealing with it sounds a little bit easier. yeah, i can. the messaging definitely needs to change. unfortunately i, i do think that held is not included in the, in the climate change the scores right now as much as should be because climate

change, if i held christ, is actually, i mean, so you might think if we start start treating climate change the same way that we treat, call me for example, or something that is affecting the entire world. and it's something that it is literally killing every day. i mean, air pollution is basically killing us lowly every day and it's getting worse. so that means for example, children and adolescents are actually being receiving more pollution every day and getting worse, it will affect them more as well. so i different is that the message needs to change as to whether events are still also increasing, will cause people to die and not on the, i mean, besides i, and there is also some, some in the order consequences to these extreme. what are the bands, for example, defects on education that it was mentioned before as well? in my day, how many schools will be close to what are the bands, or how would we all seem create a cation and how to case?

and he's also need to gender inequality and so many other consequences. so i do think that the messages messaging needs to change the treating climate change, climate change crisis, help crisis begin with, and also start discussing what can we do now immediately because we can say a lot of things that will be happening by 2030 or 20402050, but we need the actions that are thinking going to take place right now that are be and that actually are the shovels the started with. did you know you want to come in there? what would you like to say when we talk about saving the time it'll saving the planet it seems really daunting. i think we should be talking about for everyone to have a life of dignity. that's what's important. every single person on this planet. we talk about energy efficiency, you know, this should be enough for everyone, but not abused by some i think that's what we need to be talking about. you know, these numbers that they talk about 1.5 degrees, 2 degrees, those and lives that were, that it really means, you know, when we say all we can,

we can keep it to 1.5. but maybe we'll keep the global temperature rise under 2 degrees. what do we effectively thing is that so many people will die. we're willing for them to die because we're not, you know, we're not willing to hold the line. we need to be talking. we need to be talking about how we can have the lives of dignity for everyone on the planet that everyone has the basics of transport. what mark was talking about, you know, transport in scotland so that everyone can have energy and food, and transportation, communication, the basics that people need and that they have enough. i think that's what the conversation really needs to be about. this isn't something in the future. this is about so many investors that are taking place now and have been happening for the last 500 years. and when we put that in context, we realize that we need to be supporting everyone to have a better life. those who do not have it at the moment and those who are in excess to look at the fact that that's not necessary. we don't actually need to have

people with so much excess that we should be looking at at everyone to have a good life. you know what, what in southern africa, the concept of a book to is often talked about, which is i am because we are, we look at ourselves as interconnected and we are connected not just to assess, but also to the planet mark. we've been talking a lot about the level of messaging here. one of the key elements of messaging, of course, is nor your audience. we've done a lot of research globally to into climate change. we know a lot about how that is happening. do we need to do more research? do you think into how people are actually responding? so the messaging can be better targeted? well, i think perhaps some of the concerns here around, you know, what, what, what, what is the purpose of that messaging? so, you know, if, if the message here is that actually it's down to you is every day citizens to do your best to tackle climate change,

then that's all about the behavioral change of the individual. i think where my analysis would come from is to say that as being said already that we need to put in place the system changes in order to tackle climate change. so, you know, if, if you're living in fuel poverty, in a tellerman and glasgow, your, your choice is to change your heating system or, or to do things differently to cut your emissions are extremely limited. if you have a change in the energy system, if you have a government that will support you to make your house more efficient and that's the kind of system change that we need to tackle climate change. so we're gonna unfortunately, we've run out of time, but i want to thank you very much indeed for your contribution and i want to thank all our guests, david, the embargo, harkell, me, mark rascal and duty, but now go for being with us. and of course thank you to you to for watching me, can see the program go to a facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha, inside story. new can also join the conversation on twitter. handle is at
