flee every year in the past decade so the question is how badly is africa affected . you know in general climate change climate related disaster is affecting africa mean charity africa's one of the hardest hit. when it comes to you know global emission off because just contributing to 5 percent of the global emission when it comes to displacement. is so mind yet is one of the countries hardest hit there is so money there is no media there is also south sudan but for so money just in 2018 there were you know 7.5 persons of the population displaced because of climate still disasters. because of flooding this is in addition to conflict this means actually you know the entire population of new nick berg and bird and being displaced in a single year like you rightly said we are contributing to climate change but we

are going to feel the effects even more than the major polluters do we want to find out what african leaders do to push the world's biggest polluters to actually do wall to help prevent climate change. 80 you know old. africa is suffering the consequences $52000000.00 people because of the droughts repeated droughts there they're starving they're hungry across 18 countries in africa so african leaders have to come together actually in november they have made a strong call you know to the world's leaders asking for funding so that communities can be supported in terms of rebuilding their homes and so on they have also they have to ask world leaders especially rich countries you know you're the one who contributed to the global. and mission and you have to supply more tests in terms

of if you know finance for adaptation final curtain loss and damage so that's communities can be able to read about at the end of the day do we on the contents are going to feel the serious effect so we don't really have to wait for someone to do something right what can we do a confidence and as a people to to tackle this. old redo you know we're seeing some good examples for instance ethiopia is proposing you know to invest in a major way in renewable energy production that's a really good starts but still funding is needed you know to say supports africa in terms of reducing emissions cuts emissions but we're as i said we're actually contributing to 5 persons so we need to be able to find creative ways to adopt but again you know i don't they do we need finance we need funding. very well so

now it's got to be our storms global climate for this lead time. thank you. now so often just cultural region is suffering its worst drought in the centuries the region's oldest town graph right met has always been patched but with tops running dry farmers have to decide whether to keep livestock alive or let them die it's a big choice the places with shrinking water supplies would soon be facing on our warming planet. your highness fun runs but drives past what used to be a field of a god is on his. today there is nothing left. wrong the non-truth they are the missing get out they all died in 17 fun runs bugs farm
