12:13 pm
the people who are buried here have mothers brothers and sisters they all have someone who love them but now their families don't even know that they are here it breaks my heart that there is no one who comes and prays for them mobile how did you know. but that is why i'm mina and power this pray here on behalf of everyone else alone. they fled from a found a stunned by iran to turkey illegally on foot over the mountains. it's a long dangerous journey many freeze to death or die in accidents and many who don't make it end up here. in the eastern turkey city of van in an unadorned grave with no name. on them. i myself there is a man here who was found dead in the mountains and once they brought women's bodies
12:14 pm
their fingers and toes were frozen off from the cold. things named as the grave seem like memorials a warning of the fate that looms on this dangerous journey and yet only a few are discouraged by the risk the number of people trying to reach europe why this route has sharply risen in recent years. the route leads through the mountains straddling turkey's border with iran up to 4000 meters high most of those trying to reach europe from afghanistan pakistan bangladesh take this way ticky is now building walls everywhere in the region they are hundreds of kilometers long the border with syria has already been closed off the wall to iran is still under construction. human rights lawyer mahmoud could chance has a wall won't stop the refugees it only makes the journey more dangerous. he has in this area been ignoring people smuggling for too long it's become kind of
12:15 pm
a business sector that many get involved in this because a lot of money can be made in a short time at a relatively low risk. i mean and power of a sufi saga still clearly remember their own flight from afghanistan the smugglers took everything from them they say they have been living here in van for 3 years now. the family found refuge in turkey but like so many others they want to continue to woods europe back to afghanistan they say that's out of the question. you would have lost everything in afghanistan it's a war zone our house was destroyed how can we go back there when there's no safety for our children or. if we have to go back they will kill my son that's not an option. so they are holding out in eastern turkey stranded in their
12:16 pm
new existence and they think of those who lost their lives and are buried here at the cemetery of the nameless. u.s. president joe biden has pledged to cut u.s. carbon emissions in a hostile 2030 it's the most ambitious climate target the u.s. has ever set biden announced the goal that a 2 day virtual summit. climate change summit rather at the white house 40 countries are taking part china and russia also pledged to cooperate on climate protections but didn't announce specific emissions targets for more i'm joined by class ice and she's a climate policy analyst at climate analytics here in berlin cliff baxter joining us how much of a game changer is biden's pledge. right so that i think this is
12:17 pm
a really important game changer and as you said it's the most ambitious climate target the u.s. has ever come forward with to half their emissions by 2030 from 2005 levels and if we look at the global level what needs to be done to achieve the $1.00 limit set in the paris agreement we have a currently missing a gap between where we need to be and where we're heading and this new target by the u.s. reduces this gap by about 5 to 10 percent so it's a really important step in the right direction still not quite the level that we'd like to see you can the u.s. to be fully compatible with the paris agreement so our modeling suggest they could even go up to 6063 percent reduction but definitely a really important move in the right direction so still a way to go but progress and now it looks like even china and russia are looking towards climate cooperation that's a pretty big breakthrough isn't it those are absolutely actually on climate change cooperation across the world is going to be fundamental and i think it's really
12:18 pm
encouraging to see a broad coalition of countries that come together at this summit to to commit to continue to act on climate change and as we recover globally from the current virus pandemic and now we won't we won't get anywhere unless we also have begun it is like china and russia at the table china came forward and said chemical to the new target last year and it's also said that it will start to phase out fossil fuels from 2026 so definitely an encouraging moves there and i think this is all showing but the paris agreement is working so a key element of the paris agreement is that governments cooperate and that every 5 years they bring forward more ambitious pledges that they really increase their action and line with what science says it's needed for climate change and i think that's what we're starting to see but as you said still still a long way to go to get to really fully 1.5 to be compatible what needs to happen next in order to make those targets. so a few different things 1st of all we need even more ambitious targets to be brought
12:19 pm
forward by a government so some government such as australia still haven't brought forward a new target so we need to see these governments stepping up and we also need government to stop putting in place policies to actually achieve these targets so a target is nothing unless you're asked to do something towards it so for example phasing out coal phasing out combustion engine cars 7 phasing out possible fuel subsidies are all really important steps that governments can make and finally real soon need finance so we need governments to step forward with international finance commitments a lot of the vulnerable countries are pretty saying we need support we need support to decarbonize our own economies as we recover from the current virus pandemic and but we also need to support to deal with the impacts of climate change and week before some encouraging pledges coming forward yesterday on on climate finance but very much still not enough to reach the 100000000000 goal that was set in paris right all today the meeting in focuses on the role of technology and how to make
12:20 pm
money while fighting climate change is joe biden managing to get business leaders on board is to be able to help him reach his new emissions target absolutely and i think a really important narrative that the biotin and ministration have to have shown is the role of addressing climate change and creating jobs and putting infrastructure in place and building the economy and recovering from the coronavirus pandemic and i think it's clear from the. international corporation that we're seeing but also the increasing number of corporations that are coming forward with that there are targets that is really in everyone's interest to take action on climate change and that there are a number of benefits that can be reaped from ambitious emissions reductions fine thank you clarify some from climate climate lit ics thanks for time thank you 7.
