2:10 pm
. thank you so much for being with us, andrew. so we've seen some major weather events this year and it's only march. what are some of the factors that are contributing to these weather events? yes, thank you for, for having the on. so there's many factors when we're talking about why we're seeing extreme weather events. there's also many factors when we're talking about why we're seeing disasters, and i think it's one of the 1st important points to keep in mind. it is the responsible thing to do to ask about yes, why are we seeing increased rainfall? why are we seeing more periods of enhanced rainfall but also what are the policies in one of the actions that are being taken to prevent that extreme climate event in becoming a disaster? so yes, we are seeing a lot anemia, as you just mentioned, and we are in a perhaps in a transition period away from london. yeah. but the fortunate thing is we do have a forecast that could help. so what then can we potentially expect for the rest of
2:11 pm
the year in terms of major natural disasters as, as you say, we have forecast that can help us. so we are, we are in a period of lundy now we've been in a period of learning here for a couple of years now. what i need is, is the cooling of the eastern equitorial pacific. and that leads to ripple effects that leads to ripple effects all over the world. now we have el nino, which is in some ways the opposite is warming of the eastern equitorial equitorial pacific. so now the question is, are we transitioning away from latino into and nino period? we could also be transitioning from learning a to a neutral period. which can mean we move away from your impacts. as you mentioned, some of these rainfall impacts such as below average in the greater and eastern part of africa. but it's not quite clear if we're going to transition into an el nino or not, or perhaps move into more of a neutral phase. to what extent is climate change also at play? here?
2:12 pm
it's an important question to ask it to the responsible question to ask whenever we're seeing extreme climate, weather events. we must ask to what extent is this related to climate change? we also must ask if we are seeing disasters to what extent this is related to, to policy and the lack of, of taking action based on the forecast. and so what are some of the more impactful and immediate strategies that countries can take and adopt to help mitigate the effects of climate change. so we do have forecast. available forecasts are becoming more available and let's say more accessible. we have, we have the risk data that is available to say perhaps when we may see a more intense period of rainfall, perhaps even a flood different types of floods. however, we have, we may have early warning systems. we may have forecast, but now we are beginning to move much more into the policy and practice elements of that chain from having forecasts, translating that into an alert. but then also doing something about the doing
2:13 pm
something about it means we, we must have standard operating procedures that allow for us to know when and where to take action. how do we prioritize some areas based on the forecast and to make sure we have funding to take those actions. and then also ensuring that the actions we take far more tailored in geared to support the traditionally underserved populations that are continuing to be impacted by extreme weather events and disasters much more than others. angela, thank you so much for talking to us about this andrew coca h signs advise at the red cross res. press and climate vendor. thank you very much for your time. thank you for your time. while more than a 100000 tamales have fled to neighboring kenya as the region grapples with its way strout in for decades, aid workers at the rob refugee can say they're struggling to cope with a number of people arriving every day. i'll just hear as catherine saw a report from the camping northeast in kenya,
