these national museums and and keselowski insight into africa's distant parts. to this is tom called. on more than. in the one true a boat. 3 years. to the cargo cult that just used to exist during the time. hello i'm christie wonderwall comes to deeds every news africa it's good to have you along climate change is set to hit africa harder than other continents agriculture is the backbone of the economy in many countries and that makes the recurrence of drought storms and other. climate fact at its official threats to

people and economies alike now a survey by the group afro barometer shows off of africans have seen the effects of climate change with their own eyes so whether africans are aware of the debate on climate change itself and the survey shows many aren't they all went away of what's happening our coverage begins in togo along togo's coast just east of the capital know many 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 made his of land on this coast every year entire

communities have been forced to flee in this area 500 people made a living from fishing 15 off and 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 again so the after a barometer survey also looks at what the group court climate change literacy that's when people have heard of climate change and the stand 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. i know exactly but. i think. it's like if. you want to. change the climate changes in there is more carbon 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. yeah. but i'm not sure. what. changes so the climate changes basically when temperatures go hotter than what they mean to go causing ice caps to melt and ritual seeing be the death of humans my guest today is a climate activist based in johannesburg temple beenie works for. 350 africa welcome to the african sample 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 50 does it is that we invest a lot in the community based on as asians on the ground you know working on telling issues created of course passionate change so that's how different he doesn't in that we make 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 emissions right and you know 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 climate change advice seeing that we see

examples of that. but when it comes to our contribution for example c o 2 emissions are 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 rianna 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 incompetence 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. 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 on account of 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 of for noble 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 their rapid ness in which we find ourselves in this situation it forces our leaders to think that you know going fossil fuel fossil fuel which is cheaper 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 we'll cause your oil and you know if you need to really start right now out in transitioning into and it is you just then that is not only sustainable but becomes cheaper by the we've seen that you know renewable energy has gone down significantly over the past decade as far as you know she's concerned you know what and now you know the right set of very briefly at tell me about being global climate strikes that are planned for september very briefly. sort of global climate strikes coming as sort of

a spin off from the you globalization that's been going on across the war led in part by the u.s. and this is a quote on 2 or the adults you know drawing who sees it is not taking this. problem as their own because they know they don't affect them so under 20 and to the 27th of september we are looking at possibly lunges trying to change mobilization and which really involves protest and you haven't anything that's actually. simple and johannesburg thank you thank you very much. that nairobi national museum in kenya is home to one of the world's largest collection off fossils differently and rival to mist africa recently the bones of a previously and prehistoric carnivore turned up in the museum story 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 gem the giant jawbone of africa's largest ever predator a prehistoric carnival 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 just shows the world of africa in terms of. post systems and what used to be in africa and we can do to constructions of the environment from the possible date from these and what animals they would have interacted with but this important fossil was not on earth this year he did actually been in the museum for over 40 years before is recognized as a new species because you see him staff knew the bones were something special they just didn't know exactly what and large the resources to properly investigate there

are only 7 paleontologists in kenya. and 99 percent of the 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 eventually study. things to do with human origins and evolution the museum has not changed much since the 960 s. when famed paleontologist louis leakey 1st started stockpiling his findings the card based handwritten filing system is still in place. these crocodile skeletons are another important asset of the museum which should help to further understand the evolution of animals and the landscapes they inhabited this is. a modern. i want to assure you that about 3000000 is the kind of crocodiles that

used to exists during that time between 7 and 10000 new fossils arrive in the museums of the partially every year and the task of cleaning and logging each specimen is painstaking. with about cloak that could yet take years to work through the hope is that many more unidentified evolutionary treasures lie in wait. and that's a canal in africa as always we get a little story on our website and facebook page. story so that people whom world over information provide. the fenians they want to express d.w. on facebook and twitter up to date and in touch follow us.
