11:36 am
to our audience around the world. hi everybody. we are, it's charl month. we're going i'm an enrollment and the climate just employer based in bang. get to see you. okay, so we have 3 experts. we can tell you about a very unpredictable monsoon season that we're seeing right now. if you would like to talk to them, you have questions, you've got comments, jump on to you tube and that comment section is life. i am just looking patton a. let's start off with some of your reporting. some of the pictures that you sent us on my laptop can you talk us through the pictures just very briefly. let's start with this one where you, you're on the river here on my laptop. there we go. what are we seeing here? before i move on to the next shot. so this is a rescue mission that we went on. that's a military boat and the water that you see it looks like a deep river, but it's actually fees that have been submerged and their water was about 15 feet deep in many areas. i'm not if my mac is correct,
11:37 am
that's close to 5 meters. if i'm not wrong, extraordinary, he's deep and that those fields are livelihoods, all thousands of feet. i thought you were on the boat going down a huge river, so we've got more pictures that there were more so i want you to have keep, keep saying on my laptop here we go. look at this one hand, where are we here? that is a road that run through a community. i look at it in a song and you got that is your water fresh of a water while walking, it was very difficult for me to walk as the current was strong. and you could see everything that you see and grow the water resolve fish. we saw all kinds of insects now a snake and the water was in people's homes again needy. and people were living like back to say that again, in a former career, i would tell people full cause the weather. and we always told people never to walk
11:38 am
through flop water because it's dangerous. is there an option in the regions that you went to? not at all because, you know, was rescue mission, but i thought to find a picture that was going on. the fact is that this is a rule and a lot of people that are farmers to the very attached to their land and they're not comfortable leaving. so many people to prefer to do it in flooding water. i mean, i remember mix right there and they were ok what i mean, i don't want to glorify that, but the fact that they prefer leaving that in those conditions just hoping the water that was received at the a good. okay. oh, well, come back because you're breaking up a little bit, but i, i understand we're, well, you're taking us. and rita, i want to bring you in here because monsoon season, you see a lot of rain. you do see a lot of flooding anyway. but this is unusual because why?
11:39 am
okay, so the thing is we are experiencing new form and type of plumbers impacts that we have not seen before. so countries in communities are chasing, increasing frequency and intensity of the same event like flux, or drought, a feel of a rise that they may experiencing before, and then they would if they were capable of handling them. but right now what they're facing is undecided. they've never faced that before. i don't give you a few examples like the bass been gone. the course today they are in the base. they used to receive one type loan in 2 years. now the receive 2 cycles in one year. but me was mentioning that atomic survey had one major flag and me and now there's another major line. so what happens is that the community is hardly able to recover from one event and they are faced with another event. which means that in the process of recovery, you can never think of going back to the same level same as the case of sea level,
11:40 am
right? you know, we often in india, people don't, you know, they don't realize the climate and back about the pipeline and flux that you can see there's a lot of flu unsafe event and i'm part of the technical term. but fluency events like sea level rise and it is happening in a normal agenda public. the don't understand, i've been to the south kinda florida hardly 2 months back. and that group of 10 believe me, which is only be under water and, and the village where our study area was, they used to be in that area to on high kilometers away from the see not the last, the other one on price and all the way from the sea and in due course they are going to warn the water. similarly invalidation. we did a research last the i really saw that every family had undergone displacement at least 311 times a family in your parents, in what period of time, no routine. how many times they move in, in a year, in a scene, in how, how long?
11:41 am
so, you know, in a, in a, in a period of 5 last $5.00 to $6.00 yielded nestled at least 3. and there was one woman with which really moved me. she had 7 sons, all the 7 sons dead. and you can imagine the scale of impact of having. and i can keep going on, you know, these impacts on not when these events happen, but typically call and of them as climate change, loss and damage and has quickly expand. what lawson damage means loss is something that you lose forever, like cielo drive. all those villages that are under water, that last forever than never going to be claimed back than that damage is just still salvageable, but yes, there is a trail of damage. you know, people are suffering losses. and then when i say that these loss and damage are not just and the nomic thump, thump is not just loss of infrastructure, loss of homes, love of crops, livelihood. that non economic losses and damage because their children who are
11:42 am
suffering mental prom, i'm anxiety because of these events. they are a woman and children who are forced to live in temporary leap comes an army. so studios back showed that. but in, in, on some flight it's, so there are so many, all that women and children, but targeted by traffic. so, trafficking increase in the aftermath of richard, i'm just going to put pours on you for a moment because you will to then you're talking about the ripple effects of having to leave your house multiple times because of extreme weather. and then what happens then, but i want to bring in shower band before we get there. if that's okay with you. a shower by roxy co is a climate scientists. and we were looking at the situation with an erotic monsoon and thinking, what is going on here, roxy, someday up in a nutshell. and i'd love to build on what he told us earlier. here's roxy, go move on to peer change. morrison betters is that instead of having the
11:43 am
race toward the season, moderately better, george season. no, we are having a long drive innovated with short space or heavy rainfall, causing flips. monsoon and a drought. let me just go via cynita, who's an environmentalist here on my laptop, flood at the time of drought. this is the story of climate crises. why we need to get very serious about managing scarcity and excess water is almost unthinkable even from st. 10 years ago. shabba, please pick up. yeah, i mean, that's a very important issue that it's lived up. i just want to mention here, like in long beach, what happened the me, me not over muslims. i'm also supposed to start at the middle of june and it goes up to september. but this time we started re our li doing our summer time,
11:44 am
and it's not only started already. and we also think our 1st flood at the end of me and with a very short period of time, the committee to say is 2nd, he does the flood of june. so see what the previous analyst was talking about. the sudden onset disaster, like the disaster that you're not prepared at all, there is no oddity warning, nothing. and all of the sudden the disaster in fear and your whole life is to be both fitting the effect it. so to florida in one month and north that it's not meeting their fees in $1.00 use at the summer and varies at the very beginning of move on. it's kind of the boss stating situation for the company, the extra me to call. another thing i just want to add here, like why these things are we are trying to frame as a frequency and sim cd because last time, especially in more than eastern far. so india,
11:45 am
their software in $956.00 also that they saw 1495 each month after 50 years. also that now they are suffering it. thank you to this i didn't use after 3 to 7 years. see the saw landscaping video and also the level of walker is higher than the expectation. and for sure, for india unbundled this saw, there's nothing new not, but the intensification and i mean the frequency that's newer experience with our infrastructure, our, our community skip ability. nothing is actually aligned with these to deal with these kind of side. that's one thing. another is regarding the reference of often damage the see part of lawson damages. that gives a very clear indication. i would like to refer the i think this is 346. and i'm going to let you down a little bit. hillson damage means that the rich countries in the well, the course,
11:46 am
the climate change have to pay out. it is not a popular idea with the rich countries in the world. as a lot of pushback about that chart, would you just briefly make your point? cuz we have audience on youtube who want to talk to you as well. go at. yeah. just to add about the loss and damage, it's clearly like you are no longer in the position of adult fiction. you don't have to be adopted. and these are so far more than damages that you are going to not going to say in the rest of your life. so that's why we, when we talk about lawson damage with the community, who has no contribution in this problem, but they are suffering the are the things i'm most of that stuff and retrieve that look country or the highest image or country who contribute it moved and have to take the liability and responsible for the vision. ask it is very direct, very candidly, and then have you come in here?
11:47 am
which countries who are responsible for climate change are actually saying bangladesh and india let help you with how you cope with these extreme flooding. can you name a few countries, siobhan? all from the lawson damage context. it's very unfortunate. no, not alright. company, go ahead. i've got some huge questions for you. go ahead, public. go ahead. yes, i think what the computer and the course of our reporting is that what's happening in us is social micro well for developing countries around the world are, could be facing it's possible between developmental depression and climate change. which because love have experts tell us that caused by human intervention that have sort of caused this problem, all of which are exacerbated by climate change, which is something that a country like in den bundle they have contributed very little to have they can. i
11:48 am
also question some youtube, i've got one for poverty and i've got one for you. read to me already and watching right now to the flood effect, densely populated areas such as back hall or just the room areas of bangladesh and northern india. what, you know, i mean bolt, in fact, a love areas that get affected worried that we're not equipped to be to, to sort of come back or address this problem because they hadn't seen this kind of flooding. so we went to cities the when to turn out that we went off long as but at the end of the day, the fact is that when we spoke to officials, they said that while they hacked off and they are doing evacuations and relief distribution, they simply didn't have the nice horses to, to sort of have as many people as, as they wanted to. not everybody could make it to relief down. so not everybody got more than one square mean a day, despite the government, giving it a lot of relief,
11:49 am
which you let me put you in here. i've got a question for this one comes from 9. 09. why can't the politicians focus a little more on making life better for people in india, i'm going to adam bangladesh, rather than having useless debate that aroused violence. if they use their heads and develop a good drainage system, these things would never happen really to is that possible kind of good drainage system? so extreme msr. honestly, i just say yes and no to answer to that question. so firstly, yes, politicians on the policy makers can do far more than they're doing right now. we know that climate change often damages are, couldn't. these events are becoming more and more frequent and intense, and all the family have been mentioning that. but what we really need is, we've seen from often and other sections that occurred in both in india and bangladesh. because there was
11:50 am
a very early warning system accused life received. then in case of flooding or doubt system. in fact, india does not have a warning system and then explain to us because we do not have already warning system for jo, it is increasing, it's infected because the doctor so far isn't i like silent killer. but having said that one, you need to be more prepared, the policy makers need to how early warning system big some anticipating measures. because clearly the level of time with the fact that are happening not be contra rented. it's clearly beyond the limits of coping capacities of community. you want to say, i want you to say that again because when we talk about climate crises, the climate emergency, the deadline for pushing back of when it will be too late. i think that climate scientists are being generous because they don't want to sky people into inaction. i want to debilitate the world. but really,
11:51 am
when we're talking about india and bangladesh right now, richey, please reinforce what you saying chop and also said it a little bit earlier, but i want to ask, what is the hear it loud and clear? go ahead. repeat it, please. you know, what has happened is because there's so much of debate and discussion and clamored justice about compensation that the lost focus from lawson damage these events already occurring on the ground. it's not that it's not because it's for the 1st time that lawson damage was even mentioned in negotiations properly. dec was in last year's call, richie, but no on it's paying up that 20 or what is it? is it 10 year behind they 5th thing is we want to remember that the go to paris accord the agreement. everybody was like, wow, we saved the well not another but a little bit. and all of those promises made empower. i said people were excited. this is for our grandkids. they've hold not a single penny. and it's, i'm and then you see her for me, the problem is, you know,
11:52 am
i'm not even going into the direction of clamor compensation and come, or just a single, you know, now you're looking about yeah, no, what i'm purely, i talking about is communities and countries right, not right now, i guess, suffering from these impacts. we need to practical solutions for them. tactical solutions connect, one, i'm going to bring shabanni name, one practical solution. written tactical solutions could be there could be some areas which are increasingly becoming inhabitable uninhabited. that's what we are the beginning to see, the move people to safety take anticipatory measures, move people to safety because in normal they will allow them to be habitable, any more then deal. hm. holloway, to your, to, i wish i were saying move people to safety. so they move out of where they're living right now. forever evacuate because yes, that's, that was my mom migration. all right. okay. i'm not that got that. i want to share . i want to share the conversation. richard, you're so much knowledge or dropping on us right now. i need to share it with
11:53 am
shavanne as well. i'm going to go though, via doctor milan sher, because where we are now needs more planning than we're seeing on the ground. this is what she told us earlier, and then sharp, and please pick up. what do we do? festival dot manager. what we need is a, a longer magic vision plan for the region. and most of the efforts have been directed towards providing immediately for the bigger what we need is some kind of long don't planning so that we're not only that up to bed, but also be able to predict claims and livelihoods. for instance, are ministries or fir animal husbandry agriculture held the all and need to be working together consistently to make sure that there is no outbreak of disease after the floods, the light still can be moved even before the flood strike. so
11:54 am
more than immediate relief, we need to now focus on long, sharp on please pick up. i just want to add to volunteer. i mean, 1st of all, again, i think it's easy for you and you said like, you're soon going to reach the 14 and 5 speak to go by the secret. if you're not going to reduce our greenhouse gas engine, the 2nd floor, and it's regarding the long term strategy. i just want to ask that question to the audience and also to the families. i've been on the be she, i'm a small who are far more and i lost my land and everything. and though i am kind of forced to move to india. so when i'm moving to india, i become an illegal migrant. i'm no longer on the the she, i'm a slimy victim and i'm an illegal migrant. i lost my identity. what solution you are going to give be my local fish and your last and my, i mean there are so many on economic loss damage and how you're going to address
11:55 am
these loss. we've read the long term strategy and all the other force. 7 i can tell you people watching right now one thing, what can we do? what needs to be done? you articulated so beautifully what the issue is. it's the, there is lack of planning, lack of preparation, and now the weather conditions of o x stream that it's really difficult to cope with those weather conditions. what needs to be done? first of all, we really need to add, chris and ethanol is for loss or damage that is happening at the ground level. and then based on that, we need to come up with a solution that can go with the, for municipal need of 4th, we can think of all the stuff in the infrastructure, the better business system and other facilities. but we need to think about the need of the community, the community who is forced to migrate it from one place to another,
11:56 am
or maybe from one country to another. but 1st thing we need to keep in mind what is b r need, because the law, they are suffering that might not be able to be adopted might not be able to be adjusted. in that case, we talk about the compensation. okay. these are the stations richard, just do, excuse me, because job i mentioned the community, you go to the community, what do they need? i am going to end on the community. we thought it was those voices of survivors from bangladesh is recent flawed. i'm going to go back a few days to pass any reporting. and what comes after a slot after flood comes disease if you're not ready. his poverty reporting in the field bitty, the large bunch in her daughter had been staying in this relief camp for 4 days. they were forced to flee when water gosh, through a window and flooded their home. she says she got an infection from the dirty water
11:57 am
. will it, i say at them and we are facing many difficulties. i have barely slept since we moved to this relief. come on, we are very tense. even others are also losing their sleep. hundreds of thousands of other people have also been displeased by heavy flooding in a psalm state in india. northeast that on district is one of the worst affected more than 4 and a half 1000 people here are living in relief scamps. heavy rain fall in the hills is bringing more flooding in areas like these flood waters of blocking major roads and preventing trucks or bringing supplies. people here say they're struggling to get food and medicines have me in the last one minute of i show. so i'm going to ask you to be very brief. how are people doing this is going to be every day life now monsoon season, drought floods, landslides, etc, etc. how are they doing? are they ready for this? no, they're not what we saw and what we reported was stories of helplessness of devastation
11:58 am
. we spoke to people, you know, i talking to people, you know, women broke down, they didn't know what to do with that church and there are no drinking water, no supplied. that is bad there. but i do want to end on a hopeful note. we're talking about preparation and authority, said it that they are tracking and of that is a project that this are pathway into it. but again, i, sharon, thank you for being part of the stream today. we really appreciate it. i will see you next time. take everybody ah, from the world's most populated reach in den and untold stories across asia and the pacific. to discover the current events
11:59 am
