7:34 pm
hello, i'm sam is a them, this is causing the cost and i'll just say era. look at the world of business that economics this week from africa to i'm talk to countries and grappling with extreme heat. what will the latest, the duration of climate change costs, the world's economies? i'm on my consumption rates, and they'll ha, cause us hosting of told us off to the woke up kind of be sustain long term. we find out modest fashion on the world run ways we find out how this multi 1000000000 dollar market has gone from nice to main street. just a few years. the millions of people across the well, the big impacted bike stream. wherever the record breaking temperatures are, the results of heat track gas is caused by budding fossil fuels, as well as by the el nino weather phenomena. oh, there's
7:35 pm
a sustained spell of dangerous heat and some regions. while all those are facing torrential rains and floods. all of this impacting health businesses and even costing lives, but for many simply no escape from the impacts of climate change. the not box lay explains h ways which span continents from the most visited cities in the world to not so famous towns and villages. scorching temperatures are sparing no one from globe trotting taurus daily wage workers to refugees affecting the lives of millions. a desert city such as phoenix in the us state of arizona is a custom to hot weather, but the homeless or among the hardest affected temperatures have surpassed 43 degrees celsius for record breaking 18 successive days. i cried all the time. i. i like yellow, yellow at the heat till 8 and i go away or, you know, last year i had
7:36 pm
a heat stove stain apart. i woke up in a nice bath. i had lots of several african countries are also in the grip of blistering heat ways. despite warnings to stay home with jemma needs to work 10 hours a day in the sweltering heat, in a cucumber field and it la province in syria. and the how much the we work on the front door is what i want a come into simple washer. but we take 6 little spill or one of the meanings 6, the little 7 hours. and we, we have these called a cab and the gloves of the product over by the, from sunstar. children of families forced from their homes by the warren, syria, have no school in their temporary shelters. it's to how to play outdoors and to human, to stay in. so families spare some water to let them cool off. and low temperature sore to $47.00 degrees celsius to sweep worrying older people such as
7:37 pm
muddy. i'm carol now one of the home since noon and we'd be like this for 5 years. i swear these children are unable to go outside inside is extremely hot. outside is the same, the situation is dramatic. as the heat waves goes on, it's getting harder for people with no resources to cope with extreme weather. in the city of god, doesn't niger temperatures soar to 47 degrees celsius this week, taking a toll on people and their live stock. somebody a gun. now we thoughts on send the seats? it's a, it's people and i don't know that sometimes we bring costs to sell them at the markets on because of the heat, the light still can stand on the light. stuff gets sick from the heat, and asia wants to rain floods and land slides are threat. experts warn it's a world of extremes, and the weather patterns are here to stay. lena, vol. claire, for accounting the costs. but what is the cost of the scorching temperature?
7:38 pm
has been on the world's economy. well, that's have a look at some of the numbers been published last october by don't miss college. according to the study heat waves resulting from global warming of over the costs, the world economies, $16.00 trillion dollars since the early 19 ninety's. despite being the lowest common, the missing nations, the world's poorest. all the ones suffering the most. they've lost 6.7 percent of the g d p per capita since the 1990s. whereas wealthy countries last around one and a half percent of g d. p per capita due to the extreme weather as well. joining me now from oxford is anthony humbly. he's former chief executive officer at cobb and franco anthony is currently the see the strategic advisor at inevitable policy response. it's a united nations project for responsible investment. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, how unprecedented have the extreme temperatures been this year that we're seeing
7:39 pm
all around the world? i mean, yes, i mean, it is shocking. i think they are unprecedented. i'm president in the context. i think for the 1st time, we've seen them report it as a global phenomenon. we. we've had many extreme weather events, particularly over the last few years. um, in a record seem to get broken, you know, every year or 2 of us, we know we talked about reckless being broken right across the wall. now, the already broken 2448 months ago. and in many places, i think what unprecedented is we have seen this reported as a global phenomenon, you know, from type from breakfast being broken in tokyo, in china, in greece, in rome, and in the united states. why entering a is this whole down on mostly down to climate change? without a shadow of a doubt. i mean, the, the science of attribution that the climate science as of now developed is shy with
7:40 pm
great search and see the connection between the, you know, massively increased density of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, the atmosphere. and the impacts on climate is putting more energy into the system. the global average temperature of the planet is now about 1.2 percent above pre industrial levels. hasn't been in this room in over a 125000 years. that's very warning. so what does that mean for our targets? all we on fact the key thing the temperature rise to below. busy 1.5, if we're already at 1.2, all we're on track for that 0 carbon emissions, but i think it's 2050. well, i think the destination is very clear. i mean, the, what the nav policy response does as a sort of policy, full cost, shows that, you know, there is now a dramatic amount of policy to the colonize all energy system. our industrial systems, all, you know,
7:41 pm
food and agricultural systems. and so we know what would go in that destination. now i think is, is, you know, clear and beyond doubt, the question is when we get there quickly enough, when we have the speed that we need to get that for you, anthony, let me jump in here because you work with an initiative that's precisely helping with that kind of policy, all we simply not phasing out fossil fuels quick enough. you know, we're not, no, we're not. and so i think we, you know, we need to get foster. yeah. we all see the technology is the. ringback east into the mound for those fossil fuel lot provide the replacement for those fossil fuels . when so, um, you know, and, and products that use them such as the electric vehicles and batteries that going up the s cubs had a fantastic rate like much faster than that was predicted by the i a for many years
7:42 pm
. and so we have to phase down fossil fuels and phase them out much foster them we're doing that. it's a, it's a sort of title 2 such as on the one level, you know, we've got the technologies. they are, imagine we've got the money. what is lacking is the political will to go as fast as we need to do to phase out fossil fuels. climate change could cost the african continent, for example, by 2042 to 4 percent of its gd pay. who's going to pick up the bill for that? is it going to be shared amongst the world, or is it going to be the forest countries left the right in devices as well as critical that we do not leave the poor countries to the right and devices. i mean the us up to general as quote on the well, to double the sort of finance to the developing world to help them with this. there's a lot of talk now about you know, and, and progress. so i think some, some encouraging progress or instead of the steps to encourage global institutions
7:43 pm
like the world bank. and they have a multi lateral development bank, some national development banks, football of their work, and money, and financing and focus on helping the, the south, dekalb, an ice and also helping to finance their outpatient. but again, you know, i think it's important to understand that it's, it's not an either or never we, there's a lot of climate change locked in. we're going to have to adopt the poor countries in the world. you're going to have less resources without help from the rest of the world to adapt. that the, you know, the $1000000.00 question here is, can we stabilize the climate system at a level where we can adapt that to send a brilliant discussion on a hot topic, no pun intended, or maybe that was one. thanks so much on today for talking to us. thank you. it's been a pleasure to faithful world comp. last year was
7:44 pm
a defining one for content, bringing funds from all over the world and giving tell her a chance to present its culture and heritage it boosted tourism in the country, as well as in neighboring gcc nations. and because some chevy has the story, the, the football woke up crowds have long gone. what color is still receiving vistas month south to cut the doors and says the country is welcome more than 2000000 torres. so for the see a construct strategic location for the free visa to more than 100 countries and hosting a series of international events of to spending billions of dollars on its infrastructure for the fee for woke up last year. experts say now is the time for the detection book, as far as doing is very much showcasing its own unique values and you know it's
7:45 pm
unique offer and that there is a strong supporting legacy reform in 19 with the end of the people world cup. i'm not being carried through into the ation gains as well. so you can see that the, you know, they're very much trying to ensure that the legacy of continues the football woke up, has read the great to the an economy that to buy the pandemic. the country hosted more than a 1000000 visitors during the tournament, and many also travel to neighboring countries. some corp counsel member countries planning a common visa, similar to the shrinking, that would allow vistas to move slowly across the region. analysts say the gcc stands to benefit from cross photo cooperation and not competition. the offer of showing visa to visitors with to truly be a game changer for the g 6. the region. instead of such a being competitors destinations would be working and collaborating together to
7:46 pm
ensure that visitors can, you know, go from one country to another. and that's everybody benefits from tourism to the administrator to console fatalities. them has named do ha, the adverb, total sum capital. the c a caught those vision for its future is also in line to the united nation sustainable goals for 2013. it hopes to draw $6000000.00 visitors a year during this year and increase total contribution to g. d p from 7 to 12 percent. people woke up off it's checklist and the 1000000000 spent on it have gone into infrastructure projects that from handy on what's next. couple of vision, 2030 as it focuses on diversifying its economy and income sources. let me pull some shoddy though. huh. accounting, the cost. now let's have a look at some gc. see i'm compet tourism numbers according to your monitors,
7:47 pm
travel full cost model international arrivals to the gcc region this year are expected to exceed the 2019 levels. arrivals a full cost to reach $53000000.00 visitors with the spending capacity of a $114000000000.00 tourism in cost i received the boost from hosting the fee for world cup of international arrivals of 2100000 in 2022. while these visitors spent around $10800000000.00 during best stay in the country, find out more about the booming tourism sector in kata. i'm a costume sherry sat down with cost us tourism will follow the chief operating officer that told franco she began by asking him how counsellor plans to keep the momentum of tours off to the wells. com for us. obviously it was a huge milestone as a country for tourism. it also unleashed the development and if you think about the
7:48 pm
infrastructure that was ready, whether it's expansion of the airport, the new crews terminal came in and then of course the public transportation. we also saw an immense growth in the hotel sector. room capacity went up by nearly 40 percent in a very, very short period. so for us to keep, the momentum is just to capitalize on the gain and reputation that obviously the destination got. we have much more interest when it comes to talking to 2 operators and travel agents is around the world. they've previously with hesitant to sell or even to offer guitar. and they're all now interested to put us so to speak. if you want on the shelf book opposite as a dentist and some various tablets start as destinations within the region, you have solved e with the really just autism. you have be with the blame desktop, the take, the sport thing, destination. we have a reputation to defend if you want this, the sports events destination and there's
7:49 pm
a lot more that was the added to that. but the 2nd thing is we're really now pushing, i don't know. you've seen the news that coming february. we'll have the web summit come to this part of the world and will be the 1st website in the middle region. so us to expand kind of thing. my sector is another important thing and then when it comes to competition, there's space for everyone. everyone is in a slightly different position and is targeting different segments. for guitar, we want to win 1st and foremost as a family friend to the destination, which is actually quite different from the other destinations who have just mentioned. so i think there's enough space. i'm given to understand there is the, the gcc nations i'm meeting for like a common lease. uh will that be beneficial? so you have 2 elements here. one for us, much more important was that they have programs which for us again, a product of dc for wildcats will continue and is allowing play as the eaves of for
7:50 pm
guitar. but let's not forget, we already have a 100 ton fees that are visa free, and that makes us the most open country in this region. so for the others to come now with a g, c. c, show a coordinated visa, which is mean catch up for them, but we will continue to go ahead and we'll welcome more and more visitors for more and more countries than everyone else. you're offering visa, free entry for people from more than 90 countries. and as you said, you want copper to be a family destination, but is that or told us profile like, are you welcoming the person seeking luxury or you're open to the average globetrotter. so obviously tour is in for a cut tower and for contents, or is, is not just the numbers game as in maximizing the number of visitors. but it's more around a we're looking for above average spin this, that will include luxury which then perfect and matches. the portfolio for tell us
7:51 pm
that we have family is demographics, but if you think about different families, family from europe, u. k, from germany, they're probably coming here to experienced the desert. so they're looking for adventure or they're looking in winter, especially for sun c incent, someone coming from india, they have a slightly different interest. they're probably more into shopping in or experiences. you have 2000000 visitors. so father c a and you said that's pretty good going. what are the investors following and what's in it for an investor? so 1st, it's about satisfying the current investors. we've seen literally billions of rails being invested or the last 5 years into all the infrastructure that tourism has so delivering, with turns for the existing investors is for us at the moment, the number one priority rather than looking for additional investments and
7:52 pm
expanding the capacity, the ta disinfect is often facing criticism for not being sustainable enough. what does cost there have to offer on that front? so there's probably, there's $2.00 strategic objectives that we have. the one you mentioned sustainability, sustainability for me at the highest level starts with things like 0 plastic, minimizing food waste. and then of course, in this region, very, very important is always the energy saving, as in managing your electricity, which is leading because of the summer temperatures to the air conditioning use. so we have different initiatives where we are working. the rest of it tells, trying to optimize these through good 3 goals, and that's just inability. i want to add one more that we're also adding to the, to the agenda here, which is often overlooked accessibility. we are also launching a program to work list of a tells to make a t, r in pacific the all the properties and also to major attractive into ha,
7:53 pm
very good when it comes to accessibility. and finally, do you see yourself as achieving the vision? 2030 goals for papa? i think we're well under raise. you mentioned that before we the chief, the 2000000 mark and this was one and a half year. so i don't want to now say double the number for the year, but i think we're on a good trajectory towards hitting to 6 to 7000000 goals. but now it is about converging this into e quote, commercial success. and that's why it's not just the numbers game of visitors, it's also a game of room nights. it's a game off in destination spend. and that's why you ask like, what type of profile of tories to be one. it is winning against the right profile and attracting to right profile. so it's a much more complicated game. but i think overall all indicators post see if i was cap pointing into the right direction to make it stylish, make it modern,
7:54 pm
but make it modest. the so called modest fashion revolution is gain global appeal since it 1st emerged in the 2 thousands social media and online retail. i've given that major push, but one is modest fashion. and essentially, it describes the way of dressing for women who want to implement modesty regardless of the faithful culture. according to the 2022 states of the global stomach economy report, modest fashion was valued at $277000000000.00 and is estimated to reach $311000000000.00 by 2024. spending on mother's fashion increased in the key markets of to a kia malaysia focused on. and the mid least this also growing in the u. k. ends usa, more more western fashion jobs and luxury top brands are embracing this. thanks a is, it moves from nice to main stream as well from the city of grenada and spain's and
7:55 pm
the list of rage. and i'm joined now by olive hon elliot is the founder and chairman of the london based the stomach session and design council organization. good to have you with us all. yeah. so why are you doing? i'm good. thank you. why is motors? fashion becomes such a big business. is it becoming mainstream? i think it is becoming mainstream only because you're seeing the main stream really, really embrace it in the way that they are, which is nicely surprising for us actually. what was wonderful was in the early days we saw the can. why do her ramadan collection, you know, we sent over to the bonnet, come out with their head job and they're a, by a line. so all these big names victoria back to back and was coming up with ways to cover the head that matched the dress. so all of this was an ot us, wasn't it? and so that, of course, when that happens, when you see hollywood following suit and before you know it, you see it on the red carpet and that's how it becomes
7:56 pm
a popular for everyone. all right, not only the red carpet but take talk over 2000000000 views on take talk for hash tag. modest fashion have influences social media. i mean, the driving force for this market. you know, social media kind of liberated us, if you, well, um, social media allowed us to communicate to each other on what we felt was elegance and what we felt was stylish and what we wanted in our fashion were um, so you saw influencers coming up with a job tutorials you saw style is, was yours, talking about how to put things together and still be bought it. so they, they gave this, this level of new credibility but a sort of an, an elevation to be the whole idea of guessing modestly and how beautiful it can be
7:57 pm
. so yeah, social media just moved world for this market or as the big brands come in as you're mentioning, is that also making it the more expensive to dress modestly, which you know is kind of ironic. i guess the to the whole principal. well, i mean, i think they're going to, to the fact that we are the most afterwards demographic in the world, just by numbers, we have the highest spending power for fashion alone. this is in the hundreds of billions. and so that's attractive to any brand naturally, and i think there of course, on tuning their work to that spinning power. so yes, you will see those types of price tags, but that doesn't mean that it only has to be expensive. we do have choices. if you go to the highest street, you'll find a lot of options. if you go to some of the, the sort of like the, the, the, the lower cost stores,
7:58 pm
you'll find wonderful options. so you can mix and match in and meet your budget, no matter where it got it. i assume there's still room for growth, break down the projections for us and any challenges we know what's holding things back. more investment, more marketing. yeah. is this what is a big one? i think for any brand, it doesn't matter whether you're in the mainstream or in the modest market. i think just investment in general is what's holding a lot of brands back holding a lot of extremely talented creatives from really coming to market as they should. so that's a huge one. but we're also seeing a lot of changes. i mean, we're seeing huge changes in, in the world, so those that are catering to this market need to understand what works for this market and what buzz words will likely turn this market off. so, you know, with the, the new ideologies many movements there has to be a stop and pause on how this might also repel
7:59 pm
a huge market. fantastic. it's been great talking to love the discussion. thank you so much value. thanks. i mean, and that's all the show for this week, but remember, you can get in touch with us by its way to use the hash tag a j, c t c. when you do all drop us an e mail counter, the costs down to 0 dot net is our address is more for you online it down to 0, don't com, slash ctc. that'll take you straight to our page, which has individual reports, links, and the entire episodes view to catch up on that set for this edition of kind of the, the cost i'm sam is a band from the whole team here. thanks for joining us. and use announces, era is next the
8:00 pm
time stop pushing today to fun. when we talk some entries between former president and illuminate our power, our people see these these for themselves and make up their own minds to sweden. this become a thing to turn your back against announcing groundbreaking stories from award winning for my case. it's actually in order to win and from conflict with some motor official when someone conflict sweetness on which is 0. the the is, randy, parliament pauses a divisive know, which we can supreme court judges despite months of protests rejecting the proposal . the.
