and off to a lifetime within the walls of a new rainy into a bengal tiger horizon. us suddenly whiten when she lands and i'm likely will in a speech of them. but how long can have be just sweet freedom? last, when crisis strikes, this is the witness my a tiger tail on a tuesday around as global temperatures break records for us in china as part of the invoice meet, engaging, but political disputes have stopped the talks between the wells talk to polluters. so can we find common ground and will develop patients helpful, valuable ones adapts to climate change? this is inside story, the

hello. welcome to the program. i'm adrian instead of going to the us in china have reached us at stoles, talks on climate change. just as some of the world swells has in record breaking sheets, as others saw for catastrophic flooding. the need for urgent action is long known, but what isn't, is, who will take responsibility for the damage and for healing the environment. developing nations, say the developed world does have free reign to use fossil fuels and pollute for much of the time since the industrial revolution for a nation. say that being asked to pay for the impact when richard countries a more to blame. we'll be discussing these arguments on more than just a few moments with all guests. but 1st katrina, you reports not for badging on the us. china meeting. it's john terry is visiting china is a country process, but it's most of the way during his full days to meet with climate envoy from china,

shit, gen 4 for a series of tools and they will discuss reducing emissions particularly me. same and cutting deforestation told us that it's imperative that on this issue, the biggest solution is in mrs. of greenhouse gases, as well as the fact that both countries are currently evicted. you know, china has pledge to reduce its cole consumption, but not until 2026. and it has in recent years, celebration related projects. washington has criticized aging for employment for a quote and says, china should pay into global funds to help poor countries like global warming, aging says it's supposed to fund for wealthy nation, such as the united states to pay full time at the latest damages. it does not want to pay into these funds itself because it counts china as developing now us trying x $1.00 is due to a range of political economic disagreements. the states that both sides must

satisfy these differences in order to address the climate prices. for inside story katrina, you don't carry a set that under no circumstances, but the u. s. pay climate. reparations to developing countries affected by climate, relates and disasters. at a summit in paris last month, wealthy nations did agree a $100000000000.00 package to help developing nations adapt. but that's well short of what the u. n says is needed. so you impact report last year concluded the developing countries need to spend around one trillion dollars a year within the next 2 years. and that didn't include china. the report says for the investment of $2.00 trillion dollars will be needed every year from 2030 to help countries and the developing will cope with climate change. it goes to want to use the rich countries have severely impacted developing ones with high levels of emissions and should pick up costs the cost. the rest should come from domestic

sources in developing countries to help prepare the environment and limits damage. so let's bring it out, i guess from london, we're joined by selling mill hook, who is director of the international center for climate change and development or research organization based in bangladesh from doc. com. would you mind if i own a case, the executive director of green space africa and also in london, is as at bremond, the executive director of war on once and then to pull the teachers which pump us with social movements in the global south. a will welcome to you or somebody. let's start with you. as you heard, the john kerry said that as a know circumstances with the us pay reparations to developing nations affected by climate change should be us of the developed nations be forced to do so. but if so, by who well, 1st of all my message for mr. terry,

instead he should worry about his own citizens in texas and las vegas and then nevada for now suffering from extreme heat. in fact, under the heat of that, the united states of america is suffering from and then in vermont from flooding, such as taking place. these are all, in fact of human induced climate change causing losses and damages to the citizens of the united states. and the bill and they are paying for themselves right now. the bill is going to be in the billions and possibly even in the koreans to the united states of america, to his own citizens. so he needs to be worrying about what he's going to do to protect them, and only off to that figure out what he can do to help the rest of the world, which under the united nations frame of invention and the agreement we've made and cop 27 and try remote check. they have agreed to do. they are not paying reparations. they're paying solidarity funds. and all countries have agreed to put

money into that fund solely the bangladesh of course, well used to dealing with it, the effects, the impacts of climate change already with, with, as you say, the climate in the us becoming more erratic with, with heat waves. a more destructive tornadoes, the flooding you mentioned, wild fires without impacting more and more people. do you think that the citizens of the us will becoming more mindful of the impact of climate change now, and we'll demand more from the government? well, that's certainly been affecting to the, to what extent they realize that it's human induced by mate change remains to be seen because the culture of fuel industry in the us has done a very, very good job at keeping its own citizens ignorant of what the climate change impacts are, but increasingly they are realizing it and particularly young people in the us

certainly are far more aware of the impact of human induced stomach change and the fact that they are suffering because of global temperature rise of will be well over $1.00 degree that has already occurred and we're headed to $1.00 in the next few years. so these are going to get less and no country is prepared, including rich countries like the united states of america. and everybody's going to have to be better prepared. dealing with those impacts and the climate change are going, we call it add up direction. adapting to them. you mentioned one, whether it's by country is one of the most of our, of, of countries to the impacts of climate change and has been adapting to those impacts. so we are quite well prepared. we're still going to be impacted. they're going to cause a lot of harm, but by being better prepared, we can minimize what we call the losses and damages from climate change being unprepared is going to maximize losses and damages from climate change. and the us is in that situation. they are unprepared and therefore suffering a lot more fully. how closely will african nations be following these discussions

and badging as well? you know, during this i think is africa. we strongly support the loss and damage fund, which a we know was agreed upon with all of the international stakeholders at cop $27.00 in charming check. and so just to adds to what my predecessors said, we actually do. i understand that terry has clarified that he did not mean that they wouldn't say that the us wouldn't pay into the loss. and then each finally, but rather that they won't be meeting to the liability which we disagree. we. we think everybody who's coordinating should be held accountable and should definitely be held liable for the damages causing into adult level environmental space. so why don't we support the demands of, say, our continents, our applicant, governments, for adults and damage for payments and other fission and mitigation?

finance, we also are demanding that our own applicant, governments and businesses who are polluting, who are exploiting to lead in adopting the right policies and practices. indeed, by example. so i, greenacres africa. the african countries needs not gonna try to follow the destructive pathways of development that the global nor countries date. but rather we are asking that the past, the based on way from extract division, which is clearly money, started itself as a resource cars across the global south. and as a claimant of crisis that affects the entire human species. so this is what we are working towards, and we hope that will be into by it's called 29 there. and voice are our concerns as to what extent is it hypocritical, if john kerry, to be go into china for tools when the us itself continues to expand its own fossil

fuel industries, most deeply immoral as i read just. and we have to remember, you know, even the way climate reparations is not simply by paying compensation for the dummies. dot com be with pad. it's also by doing normal hom, unrepaired in the home that you have caused in the us is responsible by for a by to quote trouble. he started commission to europe by 22 percent, and the us is still planning one of the biggest fossil fuel expansions globally, along with the european union australia. notice, so as a case of a do, as i said, not what i do and of course, consumption the all the consumption of that call them. but to the that celine told to buy the critical one, we have to keep ball below 1.5 has been calculated in it's, i mean, it's an immense february to buy, to 170 truly in the us, liable for about 80 trillion of that. what some will call call them colonialism. so

you know, the scale of the problem. what is being offered by particularly rich countries. you with the most responsible. it's just a drop in the ocean. we have the un saying the dictation would need between 300000000000 by 20 a year by 20 said to, to buy 500 b 1000000000 a year by 2050. and we've got to remember the moment, you know, the, the promise of even a 100000000000 has not be, but uh, that was promised back in 2007 in the us currently office to buy a 1000000000 to the green climate fund. unless put that into perspective of this in the same time, the us is proving by 877000000000 phrase military spending. so i think the reality between, you know, what is the need, what is a crisis? and we only need to isolate said, take a step back. the world is bottling. we see temperatures, breach in 50 degrees in many, many countries. but the key differences between the rich countries and the poor countries. these which country feel that they've got the capacity and the results

just to be able to address these crisis was coast corridor countries. i'm because they're not just dealing with the climate crisis. the dealing with a crisis of publishing a quality distill, recovering from the colby pandemic. and now we're close face a cost of living crises so much so that they are paying more in depth of $5.00 times more in depth than they are spending on climate. so big truck controlled global economic system and on fed tax trade that largely shipped by the us of which country. so it's not simply about the, the us not putting up money. it's actually locking portal countries in 12 pathway which makes it on a them unable to be able to develop clearly what we really need at this moment is a framework of solidarity and cooperation. technology being shared finance be given so people could develop clearly that's why we explore along cole, for global, great new deal together with many movements across the global side, that as a who's, who's gonna pay for it. at kenny as president william,

brutal as code for this type of shipment, of, of a global green bank to assist developing nations as they try to mitigate the effects of climate change without exacerbating that already on step unsustainable levels of, of that is, is that a good idea, or is that about something that, that will bang can be on an f should be doing, for instance. well, the problem is many of these international institutions, such as i am after the will bank. they told me to, to buy rich country interested in, in fact, that they have to be overwhelmingly responsible for the fuel. the much of the development pathways. they're locked in, developing countries into economic systems. would say you have to open your economy, you can't build resilience in your economy. you have to privatize everything. it's just a misguided in your field approach. i think well, many developing country leaders and it's not just the president of, can you with that it from problem is sort of a barbados for the brazilian president lula. the talking device. we need to really

fix the global economy to really small fat or a more equitable, and that it puts climate and tackling published unity center. now, there are lots of different approaches that can be done. we could actually text the corporations were responsible for this, that meet much better. we could fix that trade system. we could products the wealthy 1000000000 has, who has been only the ones who have benefit to the most from these forms of crises and exploitation. that wealth is, is growing exponentially, was the majority of the world see that, that, that, that every day in consulting. so there are many, many solutions. what we like is political will. and the problem we have is, as john kerry was saying to the us senate, and we have the, the, both a, not just in the united states, but across europe. political leaders who are looking at that domestic circumstances and is basically saying we are no longer able to provide the solid data to the

cooperation. ok, our fashion. and this isn't about justice, it's fundamentally about justice. if you burn down somebody's home, you have to be the ones that pay to be at to for it to be fixed. and that's what rich countries don't want to do. and that's a real question about liability that the us wants to avoid. sleep. oh i, i say, you know, to go hit, that is a, if you agree with, with, with what sort of thing indeed i do and let me just take it to a bit further in terms of the argument. no climate change is a global problem and we have unfortunately just in the last few days. in the 1st week of july, on the 3rd of july we had the hottest temperature the world has ever seen. and then a day later on the 4th of july, that record got broken. and then 2 days later on the 6th of july, the record got broken again. so we have very clearly crossed into the threshold of losses and damages from the impacts of human and induced climate change. and it's

a global problem that everybody in the world, every country in the world is going to have to face. and unfortunately, both the comic systems that we have at the global level as well as the security system says that's i've mentioned the united states military that have some are enormous amounts of funds, is actually not at all prepared to deal with the payment problem, which is going to be the number one security problem going forward. indeed, in fact the u, the u. s. military is probably one of the biggest polluters because of the emissions of greenhouse gases associated with its activity. so not as, not only is it not fit for purpose for the new security regime that the global owner work is going to have to face. this is not the country of this country. this is the world against splendid change. and we are not ready for it, and we need to change the way we do things. so sleep when i'm drunk, kerry won't. and paging that the us in china are running out of time to avoid

a hiring future is what he said. to what extent is it already too late for that that we've passed the tipping point here? the future is now about mitigating the effects. and as i can see you shaking your head or come back to you in just a minute, but, but just quickly, so even single, cuz i, i wanna bring you only back into the discussion is sure. so we, we have to work at 2 times in the immediate emergency crisis. time scale is dealing with the impacts of climate change that are happening all over the world, but primarily are poor people living in full countries. but in the longer time we need to be presenting the global, catastrophic temperature increases for which we are headed, if we don't take actions on mitigation. so we're going to have to, to come and walk at the same time a subject just very quickly. yeah, absolutely. we have to change the bulk of the set of looks. it's never too late because what we talking about is the scale of the impacts. we know that we have to

limit temperature as well below 1.5 degrees. and that's not target. that's already recognizing that the global warming and increased temperature is the old ready, deadly for many people. and it's devastating people's lives and livelihoods. it gets expedited suite was a was, i mean, become hard to and how to fix. so every degree that we share both who is millions of lives that we saved and, and i'm preventive from being facing this kind of kind of comment about. and so it's never too late. the question really is now, is which countries need to come down to mission valley? which does mean that they should be at 0, called the by 2030 at the, at the least. so that part of the country, they've got a little bit more time to be able to cut that relations. we need to be at 0 called the by 2050. and we need the finance a technology. it's fundamentally, if you want poor countries to be able to move away from the data consumption development pathways, you've got to be able to support them. if you don't, you're going to low cost, the will be competing inequality,

and that's simply not acceptable. only for years develop nations of want developing nations against the use of fossil fuels. they've routinely denied them loans for oil and gas projects. for instance, now we've got germany reopening coal fired power stations. european nations grunting energy consumption subsidies, including on african nations to ramp up the production of, of, of natural gas for export. how is this, these, these apparently, how these apparent double stand that's being viewed that in africa, that's viewed very negatively my predecessor calls of justice. it's all about the climate justice. you know, i've seen this africa. what we're trying to do now is to develop global icon it contains, there's one of them which is called stop turning in start pain, or mic polluters pay, which is really about climate justice. you know this, this campaign is, is targeting, holding the extravagant to

a comfortable and suffering them in their trucks. we need people, big producers to pay for the damaged or causing to the world. so in south africa, for example, we have confronted the polluters such as as calm and show on their policing business model, which we continues to drive a shift in mindset from the fossil fuel independence to a more of a renewable energy. so we are holding for resource comfortable for oil spills, like the worst environmental disaster, as you've seen in martians in july 3 years ago. this is one of the things that we are pushing back in africa. we can pick and choose top oil and gas development in countries like the d r c. like in coming in nigeria and many of the applicant countries. so we're all about pushing back. we're all about stopping this for recurs in this government draining and to start paying. and if we want to really

build a clement justice movement across the globe, we need to to now start to really hold. people are comfortable with something that we are be going in. the green is africa and we're going to push it across the comfortable. but really when he took about that this climate justice movement committed who needs to take the lead here that this can't be down to the grass roots organizations kind of them. and this needs, this needs someone or some thing to take the lead here and burn the politicians heads together on this issue. oh, yes, i mean the says it's very well. he said clement action is not a global nerve issue. our global issue is our collective trends and it effects on a bus which is true. so we needs to come together to find common global solutions. and this is why i appreciate the african governments now taking that going to be now trying to have the political will together as the african union. they are now

organizing something called the african clements summits. just this to be, this is the 1st time they think some of them and all of them are coming together to champion climate change to have a road map for climate change. and what's the expectation of escalating claimant prices in terms of the frequency? and it just depends just actually is required for us to meet to gauges challenges. so it's, it's taken, as you rightly said, somebody needs to take decisions. somebody needs to be bold and then be sure somebody needs to be comfortable if governments are starting to really puts their heads together and speak as one and say, this is serious, we need to hold our resources. we need to put our technical know how we need to put all of our resources in order to mitigate some of these challenges. score our people for the grow or getting good global entity as well that we are then we would have solutions to this claim. i think i was selling them and as of both

noting those come to say, you know, 1st you were in agreement. the absolutely, i think, you know, what that will be said is that we need to be changing the mindset from leaders. just thinking about their own country, which is what john barry was reflecting when he responded to as a senator in the senate, to thinking about being citizens the planet to, and all of us being in the same planet. it's chip facing a common problem, a common enemy, if you like, that is attacking the entire planet. and alita is unfortunately simply have not been able to shift the paradigm in which they think they just think about national interest in very short term terms. and those are not going to help us in the long run. okay, as i said, i mean, to what extent is this? is this wishful thinking though about, about this, this global leadership, and that there are too many vested interest. c,

a people who politically don't c i t, i so agree on anything. a look what we, we have a global frame, but can you see we have a global treaty? we have the un convention on climate change. we have the climate at the called, the climate summits, but realities, you know, if you all are in the us and go put a cafeteria emissions days by 14 tons per individual. i'm not 7 times india's and the majority of people in, in the continent of africa gotten negligible footprint. it's very difficult for developing countries to say, look, which mode you want to do with the results isn't support cost. the well currently is locked into public, denied even access to electricity, including cooking. people need those things. the real question is, until the united states, so your opinion that you can always come to the table and recognize that they have a responsibility. they've caused the most damage. they have to cut the missions.

you have to stop this expansion of pills. but they also have to recognize that the wealth that they've taken for the global side and continued to take from the global side look is calculated since 1960 to this present moment. that costs 252 trillion in wellcare has been taken out to the global side to the world. basically, developing countries need support countries. i've got the capacity, i've got the wealth to be able to do it. so it needs a collective asset, but it's meant to come to the main block here. right. and so we did it. i just one day you put you on kerry at the moment in paging talking to china, another of the world's biggest polluters in terms of, of ship population size. but when, at expanding economy, where does india fit into this picture i strong carries in beijing talking to them about climate, as it should only be in new delhi? absolutely, i think, you know, china in the us are certainly the 2 countries as countries that matter with respect

to the emissions. so greenhouse gases, china haven't overtaking the us recently as the biggest emitter, but india is, is very far behind. it needs to be dropped into the, the picture. there's going to be a, somebody from the g 20 countries, very soon the host and by india, where hopefully they will take the official on board and all the g 20, the, the biggest, the economies of them in the world. when take this extra forward and day with it, the good news is that both in china and india, they are realizing that they have more to gain by transitioning away from fossil fuels into cleaner energy. because they are both. while when i moved to the impacts of climate change, in fact, china is extremely vulnerable. they're having heat waves right now as we speak. okay, really, we're almost out of time. um, one final thoughts from you i, i use tools. hopefully it is already a room for optimism here, but the worst effect of climate change can still be avoided. or do you think that

we've actually passed a tipping point that but all of this is too little too late, it's now about mitigating but mitigation. no, i'm hopeful, i think a country is such as african countries right now. oh, they're realizing that although they're municipal contributors to global emissions, but within just several decades in come them with positive changes and population growth and decline of poverty. solving forecasts are actually saying that emissions from the continental and much those of india today. so imagine if that happens they, they realizing that we need to have resources in place, we need to invest in this. it's a global issue. it affects all of us. so i'm, i'm now very helpful to see that the africans are coming together as african union to address the climate change to the class with a clement summit. so i'm very hopeful, it's never too late. we can do more. thank you so much to to all of us spring. great to talk to you today, samuel, the sleep mode, how many k to and i said that ramen and as always,

thank you for watching. don't forget, you can save the program again at any time by going to the websites warehouses 0. don't com. for further discussion, join us about facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash ha inside story. and of course you can. busy this conversation on twitter handle at a j inside story from me. i agree instead of going on the team here and so we'll see you again, bye. for now, the the likelihood of millions of people in the heart depends when these buffaloes,

medicare has tended his head on the banks of their i've used it for years now he's among the following, the instructions that eviction to make me for the world's largest riverfront city since 2020, more than a 100 from is it being charged for? does this thing or refusing to 100 percent focused on has the highest speed to open a station in south asia? successive governments have failed to provide basic services. there are no wastewater treatment plants in almost $30000.00 each has a bunch created sewage into the river every day that combined with reduced water volumes upstream dams in india have to meet the driver, sledge carrier. the development authority says that it wants to create about a $1000.00 to $6.00 comfortable sewage which is dumped into the river robbie. but did not meant to this concern. they say the hom to benefit ratio is non stop in finding that balance between investors looking for profit, providing basic services and affordable housing to a growing population would be no easy task from one side of vast empire spending

several continents. but by the 1940s, the french were forced to confront realities and demands for independence. and the 1st part of the documentary series out of there and looks at how the colonial unrest through i'm sick to know jerry, a and full scale, warn indo china blood and his french, the colonized nation on elders era. the so i'm carry johnson into how the top stories now and i'll just say, or russia has holes at its participation in the black sea green deal. it is due to expire on monday evening. moscow says conditions for an extension have not been fulfilled. the great deal was pro could by the you and then took the present legit tab at one says he's government is trying to get russia back on board. i'm sure for that i shall know that despite.
