a hell food insecurity crews and the pandemic, a leading to a rise in violence and terrorist, tens of thousands of people have been displaced as a lake in molly evaporates. what little water there is is controlled by armed groups, including al qaeda groups are making a grab for gold, rich land in the region and drought has ravaged the california central valley. the region provides vast amounts of food for the us and for export. but for how much longer the $100.00, private and state own fossil fuel companies account for almost 80 percent of historical greenhouse gas emissions. the richest most developed and industrialized countries are overwhelmingly to blame for our climate emergency. but they're unlikely to suffer the most from it. it's areas like this a hell in africa that a suffering the most, an explosive cocktail of climate change. food insecurity. coups and the pandemic. a

leading to a rise in violence and terrorism, known as the bells of africa for hell is a 5000 kilometer, a semi arid territory, which stretches from mauritania on the atlantic ocean to eritrea on the red sea. but these other countries in the west africans to hell we're going to be focusing on today. martina, faso, chad molly and the jap. now, out of $189.00 countries on the un human development index that looks at income health and education to assess how well economies are doing these nations rank at the bottom of the table. and here's what's contributing to the poor economic performance. temperatures arising one of the half times faster than the global average, and could be $3.00 to $5.00 degrees celsius, warmer by 2050. remember the paris accord hope to keep global warming well below 2 percent. all this is leading to erratic rainfall. the united nations estimates that

80 percent of the health rain fed farmland is affected by degradation, which is undermining food production cove. it has pushed the whole region into its deepest recessions since independence. from 1300000 people have been plunged into extreme poverty. with 1400000 young people poised to enter the sally and countries job markets every year with little in the way of opportunity. it's proving to be recruiting ground for extremists when extremely shipping financing themselves through taxes on farmers and trade room through the sahara. have made a land grab for gold rich areas in the tri state area in north patina, faso, which is africa, the 4th biggest producer of gold. reuters investigation found the terror groups were tapping the $2000000000.00 informal goal trade in mali. and nazir. well, outside, interventionist on little to quell the violence. 8 years after deploying troops to this held a crush at your hottest insurgency, france has said that it plans to haul its presence. that decision didn't go down

well and molly, intern, prime minister should well, my eager slammed france for its abandonment of molly. it's now seeking support from russia. ok, we have to report for you in a moment. i'll just hear of um address reports from chad on the consequences of shrinking, fertile grazing lands. but 1st out of here is nicholas huck on how climate change has transformed the lake in northern molly into a desert on the edge of tim book to is disappearing. lake with the temperatures approaching 50 degrees celsius, vanished into thin air, or the green waters of the mighty lake figure being la modified the medusa. one says it's getting hotter, he's no longer a fisherman. he's witnessed waves of sand gradually take over the waterways. he once sailed for fish, the sea shells from a life that once existed, remain gone. are the mango trees and the green gardens for farming mourns whose smuggler never would attack again. not if it went on with one, there was water on our land. we grew rice and wheat. look at it now. the people,

the village, are building natural barriers to stabilize the sand dunes and stop them from moving already. the sand is dangerously close to their homes. from above, the natural barriers looks like a fishing net cast over the sand and attempt to stop the unstoppable desert dunes have already buried holmes. now it's headed for the nearby school. i'm from edible oak seen and called up, but a cut sign of you see this sand dune wasn't there before it entered the school from the right. the ground was flat between those 2 blocks. this is a school for almost 400 students. that's an entire generation, a last generation, a generation condemned to flee or be recruited more droughts here a rainfall. water has become scarce, farmers and herders fight over it. in areas where the 1000000 state is largely absent. arm groups including a kind of control access to water and arable land, giving it only to those willing to join their ranks. the combination of the om

conflicts and the effect of climate change is like a death sentence for those population. when the whales are empty, i mean people are on, has to flee in search of thought that water and there are places where people fight for water. it's a self of conflict between communities. today, 300000 people have fled an area where there was once an abundance of water. the surface of it was once lake like a bean, is hot with an unknown gas in its killing the remaining shrubs. forcing the last people to leave this vanishing oasis, in search of a more friendly climate. another victim of climate change, a prized horse, succumbs to the searing heat. here an exhausted lamb was left behind by my greeting, heard 4 wild animals to deval. as his last pile up, i don't muhammad the rounds of his cattle and family, and head towards the border with the cambro. me?

well, i filled out a buffalo wood. we are leaving to the pastures, greener and the weather's more bearable. the migration will save what's left of my cattle, the drought, and the rising heat of taken so much away from me. he's just trying to cut his losses and recover even if that means risking attacks by bandits broke her arm and corrupt officials as he crosses the chide come road border. mom would you bring expects the dry period and his losses to continue and has had them has have been, is by the rains have failed us and the unbearable heat is drying up the little water that we have. it's painful to watch your animals die and there's nothing you can do about it. he's not sure if he will have any kettle left before the rains return. at to say people in this a hell allready living but gloomy future. they say the region continues to see arise and temperatures and p a could get worse if it took them off. it comes with a disease. if i can definitely tell you that in this region,

time has in fact run out. it's up to us to act and mitigate the impact on gross till occupy, like slaves of territory, farther limiting access to water and lead for agriculture. the impact of climate change becomes clear possible, really supposed to make a difficult decision to sell of the animals at the very low prices or let them die . and when they bring them to markets like this, they find 2 people can afford to buy them. i did reach out to jim in let's get some analysis with on ela mater around the head of this a hell program. at the institute for security studies, she joined us via skype from banner co, the capital city of thought, molly, good to have with us on the la. how much of what we've just seen is to do with climate change, and how much of it has to do with poor economic management and political instability. all of these factors definitions should be their situation. on the

one hand, the climate change is found. the difficult situation inter street plan is the best in the in the lifestyle. whether you, however, i mentioned before, the committee call governments several of the region only makes the west the fact that you mentioned nbc has been all that a very serious security has be great in the region for 10 years. and what is behind the rise of the groups? is it lazy of us just to apply the labels extremist or islamists to these groups? this is a very good question. you know, as soon as where we start right in the family,

what we see is the right to be honest groups we, a variety of operating the most moms are the one happens to reach the soonest. we tend to be pushing a reference point. however, the whole series that don't have a religion or a bit. so actually is a simplification to look at the security situation as being exclusively an experiment driven walk outside intervention. help. francis is currently drawing down troops off to 8 years in the region. is it fair to say that they've had little

impact on the violence? wow. you know, we don't have to come to factual. so. ringback we don't know what things would be looking like a now with a what do you know? he said this is a expenditure, but in terms of, you know, political investment, financial investments and law lives. also, the situation remains really dire with shows the limits the international and external intervention is molly, where you are now looking to, to russia for support. that is not something we should be concerned about. i think that something that should 1st of all concern and question

the traditional military and security. ma'am. the very fact that the government has been waiting the prospects of dealing with a company at what would be an extremely high potential. while at the same time, we do have international a sheet that are expensive and that are 3 question about the advocacy of their support as well as in terms of alignment to too many in needs and priorities. at the same time. of course, it's important to keep in mind that the money government has to anything about the so called a company deal. and the see me key

element was at the yeah, is still very much a political game and i wonder how the groups operating in the region financed and what is the hold right now over the goal, producing areas. this is another great question. so i don't use operating in the region of our 22, a financial flows as well. one thing we know is that you know, the real cost to legal taxi using that for instance, as well as many of the rules as well as accounting roughly are a local industries that,

that these groups operate. we also do have data on the presence and the use my cheese, including through with which of these are using to to get access to material goods and financial plan outside the b alcorda linked groups of health talks with authorities in molly and the quino faso of those talks go anywhere, has they been productive? this is a working try. so i'm a bit of an inferior position on whether or not to a label. and it's a 2017 with

a series of national talks that i can come to the government to explore this option . while this is something that i've been discuss much more recently in, i see that these talks when i see that the option for such data would remain on the table. the key questions that government will have to solve include, well, what is there to be discussed or who exactly are the interlocutors? what are the communication channels to use and sending them in? if you're going to initiate the decisions you should also be willing to go or is. ready what we need to meet on on the table. so what is a for me to station and potentially bargaining unless been really good to talk to you on counting the cost effective date for being with us. thank you. for

80 percent of our food is grown on $500000000.00 small farms around the world just to one degree increase in global temperatures would hit production by 10 percent. as we've already seen, climate change is having huge consequences in the cell. it's also a problem in the rich world. here's, i'll just here was rob rentals with a report from california. so how are things going tough? mike wood is the 3rd generation farmer in california's san joaquin valley. he grows 200 hector's of omen trees. but recently he's been thinking of selling the ranch. yeah. the confederation of sale has been right in the front of the grey matter for quite some time. actually, this dolly is a cornucopia of agricultural plenty rich soil in a benign climate produced a vast bounty of meat, milk, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. but global warming is changing the valley. 2021 was the 2nd try us here

on record. while some years are wetter than others, repeated drought strains, the capacity of an elaborate system of canals and reservoirs that bring water from far away. it's getting hotter to the valley. he had a record $45.00 degrees celsius in september, land where free serve edge tables might be grown, would be left idle. it's not unusual to see sites like this entire orchards ripped up and ground into mulch. these effects aren't unique to california, china, russia, nigeria, brazil, all over the world have their own localized impacts. but the one thing in common is the global warming is causing those impacts and humans are causing global warming. scientists say some of the world's most important breadbasket regions are also the most at risk of failure due to climate shocks,

persistent drought and extreme temperatures here in california and other farming regions around the world raise an important question about the future of our species. how can an ever warming planet feed a human population that is expected to grow from 7900000000 to day, to nearly 10000000000 by mid century? simply expanding farm land won't do. the more forests are cut down the worse global warming gets. scientists say we must adapt or starve our ability to be able to feed the planet is going to require some wholesale changes, both in how we produce food and how we share food across the planet. is going to require that we probably change our diet and move more towards a plant based science. this is the emitter. mike wood is optimistic, that technology will provide a solution. when i talk about the technology,

i'm talking about the ability to produce 50 percent to a 100 percent more than we did on the same acre 40 years ago. hope for the future in a time of climate uncertainty. let's get more than on the challenges that farmers face as they deal with climate change. mike will get me as the chief executive of the fair trade foundation. he joins us now via skype from london. good teddy with a michael. tell us something about the impact on the climate change is having on the farmers that you work with. what century is a global coalition of farmers, businesses and consumers working together better tail for men and women and lower income countries. see who called the food that we will rely on every day. and the, the problem is, but the climate change is real and it's happening now. we work with 1800000 farmers and 75 countries around the world. and it's the number one priority. so the

challenge we face is the, the positive noises, the, the words that are being pledged and cop needs to be transferred into action immediately. let me just give you one example of the many we're seeing from around the world amongst a fair trade producers in the dominican republic where farmers group and honors for exports to the european markets. there were enormous problems with flooding caused by the climate crisis. can type in on a phone with, with flooded in 2016, wiping out the entire crop. and then the following year there were hurricanes just after they'd replanted hurricanes. again went to the cross. now, for farming communities who rely on being able to grow food to export, that's an incredibly serious problem. and for consumers it, it really matters because in the u. k, for example, bananas, our fruit staples, pretty much every child's lunch balls. and so if,

if we collectively don't title the climate crisis, there will be open arms. the she monitoring costs will be devastating for the guardian communities. but for us, as part of our food security in the global, no, it really matters to us. rich nations had pledged was something like a $100000000000.00 to an annual finance to low income countries affected by the climate emergency. and they've lost the fail to to live up to that promise you any more hopeful now off the top 26. yes, i'm afraid my social on the pledges are still there. i'm for them, but the money isn't cheap for me and this is why we in fact trade are campaigning for this 100000000000 promised to be met. the promise was made years ago and it still hasn't arrived and it needs to be a $100000000000.00 every year to help low income countries in the global south attack and mitigate against climate change. and like i said, just with myself,

clumping on it, it's happening today. the pledges are still not made from to 1000000000, you know, come to life various places, but the numbers way below the 100000000000. neither saying it they may start next year. maybe the 2023 is the latest i've heard. the problem is that it's also that's even when the money is pledged, even if it's found, it then needs to be put into the hands of the people on the front line and in many agricultural company. those are the farmers themselves. too often the money doesn't actually get into their hands and they need it so they can invest in what's needed on the farms to be able to mitigate against the crime question. alright, so what, what are the companies that you work with doing to, to, to help the farmers to provide the support that they need? well, i think frederick isn't exemplified, actually, so as i said, we are a coalition of farmers, consumers, campaigners and businesses. and we will involved in crops this year, the there is

a pledge which $27.00 leading companies around the world have signed, which said that they will span by farmers as part of the the, the way they think about mitigating durn carbon footprint. when the logic is, you know, if you want, if you're investing in food, if you're, if you're in the food business, you have to recognize that farmers need a for income. it all begins with trust and poverty. i'm afraid. so farmers have the financial wherewithal, the working capital to invest in mitigating on their farms. they will not be able to respond via the climate crisis. so the leading to businesses that we work with, global trans, la bed and jazz. we're also working with very many of the retailers around the world in the u. k. the cart weight tries sense. and so they are committed to seeing. i feel like a holistic approach where, where in order to mitigate their own carbon impacts, they have to recognize the weakest financially in the chain too many times, but farms. so what they're saying is they will, they see paying the farmers,

they tries as a very important 1st step of ensuring that there is working capital investment in those farms. and of course, with that, what happens is federal producers and the experts, you know, they know what they're doing. they're also entrepreneurs and passive beneficiaries in this. so they are using the extra capital. but come through fair trade to invest in that business is better irrigation, better soil management setting is there is of labs for nursery. so they can grow carbon, a sort of climate resisting crops. they're looking at a foreign station as well as reforestation, a load of enterprising activities which would be really a total past the problem. so there is hope that just needs be taken to a very big scale, which is why the $100000000000.00 a year from government is made. michael, many thanks indeed for being with us on counting the cost really good to talk to you. thank you. and that is our show for this week. don't forget if you want to comment on anything that you've seen,

you can treat me on that. a finnegan on swiss f, please use the hash tag h c t c. when you do or you control panel, i'm counting the cost of algebra dot net email address is plenty more few online at our 0 dot com slash ctc. that takes you straight to our page. you'll find a time episodes for you to catch up about is it for this edition of counting the cost on a tree instead of going for the whole team here? and thanks for being with us. 30 years when i was a 0, i to me from the shoals of the red sea storage of a pool management major. but in georgia, this team, um, it is changing to the peaks of the himalayas where water conservation looks like this toppling solutions to say the world's most precious resource. in the next episode of ass, right, we look at what is being done december once,

twice on algebra, with, [000:00:00;00] with a, a, the dakota oil pipeline snakes through indigenous blend. but no without,
