and your story you are trying always to understand this new culture. you are another visitor another guest you want to become a citizen. in for migrants your platform for reliable information. this is the deputy is africa coming up in the next 15 minutes droughts storms and prop failure a study finds more people in africa and feeling the effects of climate change. their house everything there's nothing left. we're here to suffer. or suffer i don't know where we're going to be able to stay right. and the hidden treasures he gets to be and robi's national museum and i'm caisson of insight into africa's

distant obst. this is tom. morton. in. through the boat. through. the cargo cult that. used to exist during the time. hello i'm christine wonderwall comes to africa it's good to have you along climate change is set to his africa harder than of the continent's agriculture is the backbone off economy in many countries and that makes the recurrence of drought storms and other climate fact. threats to people and economies alike a survey by the group afro barometer shows off of africans have seen the effects of

climate change with their own eyes so with africans are a way off the debate on climate change itself and the survey shows many aren't they all went away of what's happening i'll coverage begins in tokyo. along togo's coast just east of the capital niamey villages of feeling the devastation of rising sea levels only the remains of this fishing village are left standing. kojo and his family had to leave their fisherman's cabin when the waters began to rise. the house everything there's nothing left. we are here suffering. we're suffering i don't know where we're going to be able to stay right now. the sea reclaims up to 10 meters of land on this coast every year entire communities have been forced to flee in this area 500 people made a living from fishing have been offered no assistance to relocate or rebuild.

we have no way of finding the money to rebuild our house. climate change is a key factor. for climate change with its warming effect on the planet due to melting glaciers and rising sea water temperatures is an aggravating factor in coastal erosion. but a glance towards the horizon reveals another likely culprit for the coastal erosion the constant stream of gigantic cargo ships in and out of the port locals allege that after the ports construction in the late 1960 s. the sea level began to rise this dike in the harbor doesn't help it blocks the sand currents that would normally build up the coast in all 3000 people have been displaced due to the rising sea level several 100 others

a facing the same fate anxiously watching the waters. ok so the effort they also looked at what the group called climate change literacy that's when people have heard of climate change understand it has negative consequences and understand that human activity is in part responsible for it the results were mixed across the continent a reporter asked people on the streets of johannesburg in south africa if they'd heard of climate change. exactly but. i think. if. i were to quote. climate changes in the well covered dioxide or greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and i know that when there's more gases it blocks the heat from coming out so than it is it's because woman side the atmosphere.

when people. make these. changes said climate change is basically when temperatures go hotter than what they mean to causing ice caps to melt and ritual seeing be the case if you miss my guest today is a climate activist based in johannesburg to me works for. 350 africa welcome to africa your organizations mission statement says you want to build an african movement to fight climate change how do we fight climate change in africa. thank you very much christine for inviting me i think there's a couple of ways in which you. change in africa but the way in which the fact he

doesn't is that we invest a lot in the community please do and as asians on the ground you know working on telling issues that are created of course passionate change so that's how different he doesn't in that we made sure that we work with these organizations on the ground that we know have the expertise not the. challenges that they're facing because of climate change and possibly a solution so what we do is just bring and support and resources to enable them to actually feel like they can actually reach an exchange right and you know 6 talking about climate change my understanding is that africa is among the most vulnerable of. the global community as a continent that we are very vulnerable to cavitate if we're seeing that we're seeing examples of that. but when it comes to our contribution for example c o 2 emissions were counted among the least even as

a collective you have talked about holding african leaders accountable to climate justice for example and i wonder what do our leaders have to be accountable for. well i think. you know we as africa's a continent brianna very unique position in that we feel like we did not create. a unique position we find ourselves in is that region actually create a new energy revolution which it is in compas is you know to just transition so what i'm trying to say basically is that because we did not create the problem does not mean the problem will not affect us. like you said it will probably affect us the most the best thing to do for us is africans and our african leaders is to actually show leadership you know transitioning from this fossil fuel. fossil fuel is the systems that we find ourselves internally and start looking at

just transition into the nuclear energy fusion right i mean talking about fossil fuels versus renewable energy on paper it looks like the obvious right why not invest in renewable energy sources especially out of content that africa where we have you know the sun and all these other natural enemies that help us why is it so difficult to convince african governments to instead go the route offering you about energy versus building a coal power plant for example of nuclear like you guys almost had in south africa . that's a really good question and you know i think in my opinion this goes back to you know that is the poverty that most of the african countries are going through where people do not even an access to basic electricity and because of that because of their the rapid advance in which we find ourselves in this situation it forces our leaders to think that you know going fossil fuel fossil fuel which is cheap is

actually the best way to start industrializing in developing our countries well in fact is the complete opposite because we are slowly but surely running out on these resources you know coal is your oil and you know you need to really start right now out in transitioning into and it is just then that is not only sustainable but becomes cheap but by that you know we've seen that you know renewable energy has gone down significantly over the past decade as far as you know he's concerned you know what and now you know this right sample very briefly at tell me about being gullible climate strikes that are planned for september very briefly. so that what i was trying coming is sort of a spin off from the your global as asians that's been going on across the water led in part by the u.s. and this is a quote on 2 or the adults you know it's

a drawing who sees it is not taking this climate problem as their own because they know they don't affect them so under 20 and to the transcendent of september we are looking at possibly lunges trying to change mobilization and which really involves protest and you haven't anything that's such a. simple bailey and johannesburg thank you thank you very much. the nairobi national museum in kenya is home to one of the world's largest collection off fossils differently and rival in east africa recently the birds of a previously unknown prehistoric carnivore turned up in the museum storage just one example of a long forgotten discovery in this disorganized treasure trove of a museum deep in the storage of nairobi's national museum this unassuming jaw contains an archaeological jan the giant jawbone of africa's largest ever predator a prehistoric carnival or 3 times larger than

a polar bear at 23000000 years old this discovery made headlines the world over and is considered essential for developing understanding of the evolution of mammals. it shows the world of africa in terms of. post systems and what used to be in africa and we can do reconstructions of their environment from the possible diodes from these and what animals they would have interacted with but this important fossil was not on earth this year it had actually been in the museum for over 40 years before it's recognized as a new species was using stuff new the bones were something special they just didn't know exactly what unlocks the resources to properly investigate there are only 7 paid ontologies kenya. and 99 percent of those people working for anus for foreign people so it's an important for people in kenya to

understand the importance of this to the country and we venture out of the study. things to do with human origins and evolution the museum has not changed much since the 1960 s. when famed paid until just louis leakey 1st started stockpiling his findings the card based 100 filing system is still in place. these crocodile skeletons are another important asset of the museum which should help further understand the evolution of animals on the landscape saying habited this is. a modern. i want to show you it's about 3000000 years the kind of crocodiles that used to exist during that time between 7 and 10000 new fossils arrive in the

museums of the partially every year and the task of cleaning and looking each specimen is painstaking with a backlog that could yet take years to work through the hope is that many more unidentified evolutionary treasures lie and wait. and that's when i'll be having east africa as always you to get all our stories on our website and facebook page still makes time. he needs to know the sex phone operator who works her masters thesis on the potato . to treat. not to turn on well it gets more residuals from their. list. to know that 77 percent. are younger than 60. that's me and me and you. and you know what time all voices are but.
