5:05 am
forced to move to emergency shelters. amid all this is the uncomfortable reality of the effect of record breaking high temperatures. as delegates from 40 countries gathered at the petersburg climate dialogue in berlin. the message from the hosts act now before it's too late. and while we are still grappling with the fall out from the pandemic, the impacts of climate change shall be coming even more dangerous across the world . a threat at risk spilling out beyond countries directly affected. then basra, the o, j 0. so moral spain. let's go to france now, where meteorologist said the southwest and parts of the country are experiencing a heat apocalypse. let us butler is in paris with more on the heat wave there. splashing in a fountain helped some people cope has temperatures saud in paris. at the peak of
5:06 am
a heat wave that began nearly a week ago, as people looked for ways to cool down this ice cream shop in the center of the city, proved a popular choice. a refreshing break on a sweltering day to me that i tried to stay hydrated and because i have a sweet tooth, i eat ice cream, good young families. now we close the windows and shots as at home while it's hot on the banks of a canal. some so she did a temporary beach and a chance to get in on the water. some people of that paris to avoid being in the city during recount way. others are unable to and from people simply can't afford a particularly because of inflation for facilities like this really offer a welcome respite children. when y'all, for those of us who don't have much money to go on holiday, it's great. it's hard and expensive to entertain. children all summer in paris, but he, they can enjoy the water. it was
5:07 am
a much bleaker picture in the south west of the country. days of hot, dry weather, have exacerbated the situation for firefighters who are battling wildfires. the french government is urged people to remain vigilant and put most of the country on high alert. but as heat waves become more frequent, this campaigner says the government needs to do more to tackle climate change. we had as much it waves in 15 years that in 45 years. so it's we see an increase in the intensity and frequency and my trust right now isn't the citizen power. so in us managing to put additional and so no pressure oliver on our commitments a sudden they finally take action meteorologist say temperatures should fall in the coming days until then people will have to endure the intense heat will try to escape it the best they can natasha butler out, is there a paris and a new k. there are warnings, their temperatures could break. records of the next 24 hours. it being asked to

5:09 am
some pass just can't see what the fuss is about. 3536 degrees. people pay money to go to places with that. and those places don't ever conditioning either. yeah. so you basically think it's over the top. yeah. and american tourist isn't impressed. it gets as high regularly, but we have air conditioning everywhere and everything's set up for it to to be that high. i from the, in the weather is just fine with the increasing threat of extreme where events caused by global warming. many civil engineers believe countries like the u . k. need to invest much more. the u. k. is the seen the impact of climate change and not as much as other countries are in the world. and therefore, perhaps the urgency is nurse felt as much as issued that they got a big a really big task in hand. and they should be starting on it right now. well, nell,
5:10 am
that sense of urgency is beginning to rise along with the temperature setting, new records all across the u. k. andrew simmons out, jazeera london, the un secretary general antonio hair, says tall officials from 40 nations at a climate conference in berlin. that the time is now to take decisive action on climate change. 8 months ago we left coughed 26 with 1.5 degrees on life support. since then it's pulse as we can further. greenhouse gas concentration, sea level rise and ocean hit. a broken new records off of humanity is in the danger zone from floods that obs, extreme stores and wildfires. no nation is immune. yet we continued to feel though of fossil fuel addiction. what troubles me most is that in facing these global crazes, we are failing to work together as
5:11 am
a multilateral community. although it is elk, he is president of the institute for governance and sustainable development. he joins us now from myrtle beach in south carolina. thank you very much for your time . your focus, if i'm not wrong, is on fast mitigate mitigation strategies to protect the climate. talk through what they are, what are the fast mitigation strategies? what can be done quickly? the fastest way to slow down warming is to cut the short lived super climate pollutants. these are not c o 2, which we have to cut as well. it's not carbon dioxide, but it is methane, which is the primary component of natural gas. it is, the black carbon stood that comes from a dirty diesel bus or truck, or a coal fired power plant. it is tropical those,
5:12 am
which is ground level ozone or basically photo chemical smart. and it is h, f, c's, hydro, floral, carbon refrigerants, that we put in our air conditioners, which we then need because it's getting hotter. and yet those same air conditioners that are cooling us, use an incredible amount of energy which is still mostly fossil fuel. so that adds to future warming, and those air conditioners include the hfc refrigerants, which are one of the super climate pollutant. so we talk about the benefits of winning that sprint to 2030 by cut in the short lived super pollutants. if you cut them, they are short lived, so they fall out of the atmosphere in days to weeks to a decade and
5:13 am
a half at the most. and they produce fast cooling. and this is in contrast to cut in carbon dioxide, which we also have to do, but it does produce cooling and tell about 2050 start to kick in a bit. that's really interesting because a lot of the focus is on, on carbon emissions. especially when we're looking at what's happening around the world right now with, with all these wild eyes. and we just had massive flooding and in australia. so once recess and then on how we are as a global community, starting to, to try and combat those, those, those foster, those foster mitigation strategies. type thing, things like you said, the pain in hfc refrigerants. how, how are we doing? well, we put the hfc refrigerants under the nest environmental treaty, and the best climate treaty world has ever created the laundry. all one recall which was designed initially to protect stratospheric ozone layer. but because the
5:14 am
same chemicals that destroy ozone also cause climate change. yeah, treaty has done more for climate than any other agreement. so we put hfc under that through the gali amendment. in 2016 and rwanda brilliant stepped forward, which can avoid up to a half degrees celsius future warming by the end of the century. that's a big amount of warming. we're at $1.00 degrees above pre industrial levels, cruising along very fast to $1.00, which is the outer guardrail. beyond which we will suffer incredible climate tipping points which will be irreversible and catastrophic. so that's the 1st thing, hfc is, 2nd would be methane. so we have now the global methane
5:15 am
pledge, which $120.00 countries joined to say we will cut our methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030. and that has the potential take out of that 0.3 degrees, future warning by the 2040. so it's the single biggest and fastest bite out of the climate warming the we can possibly take. and so those 2 things are pro incredibly important. and then black carbon and the troubles for goes owner round level smog. those are classic airplanes. and we have existing laws to protect air. we just need to enforce them better. oh, i'd so good to hear. there is some odd bright spots in our, in our efforts to combat climate change because it can seem really overwhelming. how important then is, is global cooperation and trying to do all of this and what's your assessment of how. 9 we are cooperating as a, as a global community. oh, this is
5:16 am
a global problem. it does require global cooperation. you're absolutely correct. and the world does from time to time come together as it has with the monitor or protocol and the gali amendment to cooperate for the common good. we also have recently launched on new multi lateral effort to do a plastics tree. because plastic pollution is also killing me, oceans, and infected all of us with thumb. you know, a credit cards worth of plastic in our system. it's in the placenta, newborn babies. so there is some continuing appetite for multi level cooperation. it's not easy because when it china, we need india, we need russia. and so the question is, can we cooperate on climate change,
5:17 am
even as we fight about human rights, are about the invasion of the ukraine. other very important issues that, that we need to solve as well. so. so i do, i do think we can, we still can pull a rabbit out of that. sure. well, that is good news. i want to ask you finally and, and excuse me, if this is outside your said fremont. but once you take on how well we are planning ahead for the impacts of climate change in our city planning our, your planting of forests, funding of trees. because you know, well, as i said, we're seeing all these wildfires right now or across europe and, and, and extreme weather events and becoming more normal. so how well are we planning ahead using, i don't know if i resist the materials and, and you know, having gaps in between, you know, tree lives. right. and we're getting better. i mean that we're,
5:18 am
we are smart enough to, to see what's happening today and to prepare for the future. so in the urban areas, miss means planting trees because the shade lower is the temperature mediately. it means have in reflective white rooms on all of our buildings, you'd send a tremendous amount of incoming solar radiation safely back to space cool buildings, and allow us to use less air condition, which means less c o 2 emissions from fossil fuel use and less, some hfc, so there are, there are things to do and there's a wonderful group does some smart surfaces based globally. and they are helping us get the urban areas prepared for the, the areas that you mentioned where they're wild fires, you know, it does main doing control worms getting rid of the underbrush. that is the tinder
5:19 am
that makes the fires even more powerful, even stronger and building both some fire resistant material and not building and certain places stay out of the grown areas. and i really got to talk to you. thank you so much for your time. don't zaki, their president of the institute for governance and sustainable development? you're welcome. australia has released a grim report on the state of the environment there and found that climate change habitat loss, pollution and mining, have their to a decline in the nation's ecological well being. the report also says estrada has off more mammal species than any of the continent, and has one of the highest rates of species loss in the developed world. foreign ministers from the european union have agreed to fund another $504000000.00 to supply alms to ukraine. the money is meant to help the e u jointly by equipment for the ukranian military, including lethal weapons,
