something about this ride. we have been facing literally i will look around like. production water resources human health and though we have been facing regarding a cost system and energy and difference in for obstruction because all of this kind of problems actually lead to demean problem which is regarding to prove it is somehow and that's why i quoted a climate change is one of the top because lately that you took. all of our attention to the find a solution for the problems we've been facing is good that you actually mention climate changes of course i was coming to the role as a really plead in all of this. well as you can see lately we have been freezing like many problems regarding for example. discovering of different species of a species we're losing the sea is that we're losing the forest the quality of

a condition it because we like breeding. so these kind of. challenge us actually to think twice about me actually about the burning of fossil fuels. the greenhouse effect. clearly clearly it's real and we have to fight it but tell us how are people having to to change our way of living to adapt to the challenges they're facing. well it's complicated if you try to analyze how people without the literature without indication of dealing with climate change because we're not talking about climate change actually somehow we're just a fork in zone a stone for people living in the inner cities we're not talking about people living in the rural areas i think the most important thing now is to think of how these

people living. this kind of. people are not the rate for a sickly but change issues because if you are not really was if you if you analyze it for example in the course areas you could see that they. set the ball for 4 floors for example so i called ask you how can these people without picnics without knowing how to live. because they're facing this problem so i think the our governments need to embarrass throughout the years but i'm not talking about the political talking about the project. so we could help these rural community people to face this problem and find their way out so they're called. face these problems with many problems. now saying they're now getting to the brink of
