earth rise redress is the balance between endangered wild life and the noisy neighbours that 1st and about forest right there. and there's nothing between the how you have with human habitat learning to live together on al jazeera, how many people here have seen a tiger? my digital. oh, really. i as i me ok to day on the stream. south see dance flood emergent. say hundreds of thousands of people, how it being impacted by the worst flood in 60 years, if i mentally sustained that this is caused by climate change, his out, his ears, hiring the tacit just reporting back in november from john blay, one of the worst impacted states take a look. this used to be

a road until it disappeared under water mid last year. now the only way to get around in this part of south to dawn is my boats, and canoes is the worst flight this region is seen in 60 years. in this area, every home is abandoned, families had no choice, but to leave people like no well mcquaid who arrived here in july, her children and extended family. now sleep in this makeshift house. not sure if and when they'll be able to go back home. film on carla, my house is still under water. no, there are a lot of his neck sad ripped i one on the places dealer, eva, it's no longer home. so how can i go back and joining us to be part of this conversation. we have joseph, we have more or we have near thought. good to have all 3 with with us. more a festival. introduce yourself. tell everybody who you are, what you do. hello everyone. my name is mara,

jack. i own freelance journalist messenger over here to have me near san welcome to the stream. introduce yourself to our global audience. you hello everybody. my name is not on hot. my. i'm a bullshit the research and analysts in the area of climate change and global entity in at the said institute, alice, always good to have a government voice in a conversation. we have joseph bartel. you see him, but you don't have the government voice quite yet. we are working on the audio. joseph is the under secretary for the ministry of environment and forestry, and he is coming to us from jibber sassy down. we see him any moment now we will be out of here him as well as far as you're concerned, if you're on you to please be part of this conversation. this is an under reported story. the flag quizes in south. dan, put your comment, your questions right here. we will get, i guess, to do the very best answer of many of your comments and questions as they can. let's start with a map here near thorn. i'm just looking at south sudan flooding the worst affected

areas. we're looking at about 8 areas, 8 regions here, where would you take me? what would you show me? just to give us an indication of how bad, how serious things. all right, now yes, i'm looking at the map and the worse we have her on as a gesture in the mud around and $6.00 to $7.00 counties that are currently under water. but the, the 3 most hid or area that are, that are currently, are impacted by, by flood is junk listed, unity stayed an up and i, ah, there a flight in this area are much more intense than the other area in south sudan. so in this area, as is seen, due to flood on community have been displaced from their current villages. as you seen, they've lost their houses and they've lost their farm land. and they have been forced to move to a higher grounds where they are currently living. there temporarily,

but when you look at it dumb being in that area, they're actually coming ah, they're interacting with, with the hosp community. and here, looking at them at the house community, there have been a little bit of tension and conflict between ah, the displaced people and also the house community. also in where they have to space, have you seen, ah, they are, they're completed, lost their livelihood. they left off without carrying anything with them there they have no food, their blood at this to our health services and here without anybody that is there to help them out it's, it's about life and death for, for, for this basically more you sent us some pictures i'm going to get his decent show and how with us. so i'm going to show you the pictures, you know the pictures, but also explain to what is what they are seeing. because when you talk about people displace, you kind of have to see them and understand who they are. you can't just talk about them as if they're statistics and you help connect us with the story. and that

little report that we showed from her room, you were right there with her room making sure we were getting the right story and getting the facts right. who we seeing here? what is this family doing? where are they? is auto. it's sir, from ben to you. unity state. i had a chance to go in october. that's october. so those are 2 mothers are having malnourished children. and they were trying to, to seek help because there they had displaced from a flooding area and they came all the way to ben to you, which it was already started being flooded. and it's an attrition department within to your hospital. yeah, i want this picture. i mean, i see the mud, i see the water, but i can't quite work out what is going on here. actually we had a, a tour around in bent you with the governor and it was

a water. they just broke. busy and bite at them, they were walking, and then it had broken completely well before i pass, or before i proceeded, the water vague. and those are just like on most our own laker, 7 men. they were trying to do it manually, are using only the eggs and then the you can see now the wood and the tree is there trying to remove it from, from the ground down there. and i ask how many meters deep? and they told me it's like 2 meters deep, and they had to do it like with their bare hands. and there is no one to come for a hell. actually they were, they were with the female mia. they were trying to fix the water days to lock the flooding waters to submerge even been to your site. yeah, one more picture here. and again, i'm trying to imagine how deep is this water and how is this impacting everyday life? tell us what we're seeing here. this one from my last visit with both of them

because they are english team and also it's guessed by the. busy site where people day guess selling the fish, it's a fish market. you will find on the fish needs where all the fishermen household them. they're also formed. yes. they decided just to find a way for survival and get the sale of fish and into to dry along the river side over there. yeah, let me just bring up now that we've got all of our audio switches out to say thank you for your patience on the secretary ministry of environment and for a st. jude south sedan. that is where joseph is coming to us from. this is your, this, this is what you do. this is where your job is focused on the environment for a strange land, making sure that the south seat and succeeds as a country, as far as the environment policy is concerned. how rating all you floods of this scale? this is not the 1st one. this is the 3rd one in just

a few years. joseph. yeah, actually, what's happening right now? i've been a staging lab in the country. but at the moment, the frequency, that's what is what time it change as really you can see it as a government that is amazing and ration is spreadable in right to but at the moment we have it's not the bad person. it's sure

that aggression, it's not our own meeting at what is happening at the moment, a change. and now it's a really bad agreement that people need to be oh, mentally, but didn't read them. okay. does you, i'm going to pause there for a moment because it's very difficult to hear you and understanding the cell service that you have right now. it's really patchy so apologies for interrupting you. we will keep trying to come back to you, so we hear you loud and clear a meg marathon. i want to bring in a new voice into this conversation. and often when there's a disaster crisis, people were looking to the government for support for guidance. let me just bring in here one e, michael, when michael is looking to the government for help and support. and i'm wondering if that is the best approach here is if i need to send in social studies

with it because getting a thousands or people who. ready displays a shooter, the luggage lug basic necessities for life including this iteration. israel or. ready worse or the super not been attended to by the government wanted government to do is possible. they need to have recently settlement with these people because some of them already stuck and it don't know where they should go to . the issue of course, is government come along with it all bus approach on how to deal with these issues and flatly plan climate change. so obviously i'm going to put this to a joseph as well as soon as we can get a clear line for ma'am, the mere thought is that asking too much of a very young country just celebrating its pens, anniversary?

us not asking too much, and i think the role of the government is basically to look into the well being of their people. regardless how small are how new the country is, because this is their responsibility that has been trusted and entrusted on them. and they need to live on that. i know climate change, the global issue and saw that and being one of the least developed country and saucer as well. the country is facing a lot of political issues at the moment, but that doesn't take out from the responsibility of the government. considering that they actually put in 40 percent of our national of our budget on to into security sector. all we're asking is that take, even though it 10 we've been 20 percent of that and our channel that in to rescue the people who are currently affected because you know, these communities are there and how they are or communities and they can stand alone without the help of the government. so i totally agree with my whining,

michael, that government need to do even little things by just going ahead off the displaced people, go on top of the home community. right. so that arrangement is done between the 2 communities to allow this community to be able to, to just to settle. so it is the responsibility of the government area. i spoke to michael julius and his here on twitter. but i, i wanted to share the phrase that he told us on the stream. joseph, and who said this is a wake up call for south st. dan that they really need to have a climate crisis policy in place. these are some pictures that he's on twitter that who shared and you can see how disruptive these floods are to people's lives. joseph, wake up call for sarah. go ahead. as i said,

be used to live, but the frequency of the being is what he's not affecting. it's because of climate change. b, as a government has come up, be around $10000000.00 as an emergency. but now out of the 10 states, we have 7 states that are under water. and as i said earlier, i met change is the one causing all of these. and as the impact of climate change, we expect the international community to come up expand whenever us, as a country at the impact of climate change, this last not for as a loan,

but also places like canada, new york at flag. but they have the capacity because they're economically well of us. and it is because of the clean gases that is developed country as emitted into the atmosphere. that's why we are currently experiencing the impacts of climate change. so as government years we are doing our product. but that day, but we wouldn't be able to help us. so we need emotional support in order to get funds, what us to adapt to be moved to ohio and also who might have record of just people get out there like yes. so i think i totally agree

with, you know, but at the same time, i think my concern here is that as much as thought that government doesn't have capacity in terms of funding to be able to address the issue, climate change, they need to be the one that are taking lead right in terms of risk queuing, humanitarian crisis, because now and up on most of these is actually being done by humanitarian atkins as a new an agency. not so don, removing 1010000000. isn't it complete and nothing compared to where, what we know now of course we are getting resources from our oil and it just the fact that the problem you know, then you yes on. that's and you need to know that our situation as a country, we get the most from depending on if percent of i mean depends on oil and the price of oil climate that's left us with nothing o,

at the moment it is a crisis that we have not made, it is a gradual voting from the influx of climate gender. we have known that out of the report well has one done. 3 by 1.2 degrees. and it is one of these guys, if you i know you are sharing a sack site, cold hard facts here it is well known the global south, the developing world has not created the most common emissions. it's for develop, well that has done so, but that is not where sampson's dad is. right now. you cannot keep quoting that fat to right, because it's a deal. you have maybe 4 states, you a couple regions, county underwater right now. so what is the adaptation? what is the mitigation? i think that is what the citizens are south did and would like to hear from you at this particular time near some pick up. go ahead. anyway,

let me complete what i wanted to say. i completely understand that, of course, that what we are facing is it's not our duty right. we are basically, it's brendan baker, climate change that has been closed. but that doesn't necessarily mean that we're going to need our house and expect outsiders to come and say that, ok, because we cost it. now we're coming into common solve your problem. of course, if we need to unify right, got it. we need a unified or i'm out, i'm out and we have, i am a nissan and joseph only just because the quality audio between you 2 does not allow a robust discussion without it being quite difficult to hear it. so i'm just going to put a pause on that for a moment. i want to go back to the reporting that mara helped her in the tasa to do

. and at this point i feel we go we, we make a full circle, round back to the people who are suffering in the flooding. what impact is it having on them? and particularly when we're talking about food nutrition, how are they getting food? how are they farming his harrow matessa? one more time. mutation rates are increasing as flooding a fit food supplies, all animal that we depend on that quote a little paula powers, is that under the water natal i'm available until we get to the dc. the flawed humanitarian aid has also been effected. this used to be our food distribution point where we were distributing for the 2 over 27000 people here in oregon duck with the support from the world food program. but now because of the flooding, we are now unable to utilize this location. i my help us out here. i'm getting lots

of questions on you chip. you are the journalist in our conversation today. can you help me out with some of these questions? dominic wants to say, how about building a dam in a sewer? could that stop the issues of the flooding a practical solution? the issue, the issue is so there are no for media itself and how government also can chip in with media. and to is spread awareness about the floods, what is floods. and now what is climate change? people didn't know about that. and they don't know even how to help themselves in terms of by the time there would be like such situation now they are into and the other thing is that there is no one managing that eva. busy is eva 9th, because we don't have bands, it's not been and it's just there. and that's why every year, like when we have a heavy rains, then the water is just goes all the way to this one p areas. that's why people drowning regularly and all the areas like disappearing on their map itself. you see,

and even the other areas that most of the areas that are affected, honestly, they don't have any network coverage. that's like how, how can they then understand or how can they get warnings about their there will be heavy rain this month or next week or tomorrow like that for instance, at so yeah then, and that's what they say. i'm going to give you another question. i give this question to you, nathan, and i've got another one for joseph as well to ben johnson. thank you. more about johnston as we need here, mitigation and adaptation policies and strategies. because these plots keep coming every decade in south that south that's only have one decade. so the other nissan i'll set briefly and then i've got another youtube question for joseph. yes. and does written, i think this is where my point is. i think of course, are we need to command the little government is doing under all the humanitarian

classes doing, but we need to move away from just emergency risk reduction. we need to move into a mid term to long term adaptation programs. and these, when i agree with our, with, with africa, not they have now upper these now perhaps incredible projects is, are long term projects that is talking about building dikes. it's about talking about building dams, that whole flat water. ah, and also charlie, a manmade channel, that can i should channel some of these water to some of the areas that are experiencing drugs. so we, we need to start thinking about just emergency. yes, we need to help with that being affected, but this is not sustainable. we need to come up with sustainable means that we, we start out, you know, we started managing this and then as well, we need to put in policies. and i heard these not or is going to be converted into policies. this is good, but we have a lot of beautiful programming paper at the moment that need to be implemented. and

i think this where the role of government and they need to get had this and then mobilize all the resources and all the stakeholders to, to, to build this. and just to give an example, currently actually, private sector have started doing something credible. and just week ago, there was a project i'm constructed by a r c, where they build a 180 kilometer di that is running all the way from board to my local. and these diag basically has started helping some of the community because is blocking some of the water, and these are some of the project we need to start seeing. so that this plot issue is so going forward. joseph, close question for you briefly from russia con. you made a very good case for south sedan did not create climate change, but you're suffering from it. a shot us. what is the international community doing to serve south see dad as they are the main actors for global warming,

tangible benefits funding help from the global nov. what are you getting elect? who is in glasgow? hello, this is well, we will promise when i'm with 1000000000 dollars yearly and from they need painting . and after now, it will of concrete that you have not realize that a mom is they'd be able to be able to put a database when anything yes, government. we have all of this, but it went up and did the input, i'm itching and from on next. yes, by get we are going to incorporate order stripping, you know, an hour and a b, c. require that out. $100000000.00. we know that at deborah

and need to get in touch with a lot of women. we be able to raise grant b a b b robin dimension. know they've been climate fine in addition to joseph, if you're getting peanuts and sal sedan is on its own right, so you have another plan, correct? again, if you're getting p not sal sedan is going to be on its own. you have to work out your own resilience, how you going to mitigate this climate crisis, and also adapt for the future. and then wanted to say thank you so much for being with us. sweet. we are right at the end of the show. i appreciate your, your patience with the audio audience. thank you more. i thank you me a thumb. thank you joseph. and we show you where you can find them here on my
