a climate change, i mean, so called wired deforestation in the rain forest continue, carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. young people over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact because change doesn't happen on its own. make up your mind. d. w. for mines this is d w. news africa coming up on the show as the you and climate summit club 27 draws to have close. will the most vulnerable african nations get the help they need to tackle climate change? for on the ground and madagascar to see how global warming is pushing nearly 1500000 people to the edge of starvation and with 8000000000 people on the

planet. we'll look at the challenges facing communities living in africa's biggest city lagos in nigeria. and fans are gearing up for the for world cup. so what does the events mean for africans and soccer's next generation? ah, ah ah, i'm really mohammed welcome to the program. for years the rains have failed and rivers have dried up, leaving people with nothing to eat and little to drink in southern madagascar. last year, the world food program warned that global warming is creating a food crisis more than a 1000000 people need aid, and many are close to starving. d w age increase, visited the region of amber vaughn. ben, where the drought is putting communities there in a desperate situation. this is my volvo river,

or what's left of it for 2 years, the residence of cio may have to dig in the river bed, their main source of water, that we are really suffering my. now it's really dry, dry, dry. no, no rain full actual my, my, my the rainy season should have already started. but once again, people are still waiting for it. i and her family left their village and came to town because of the droughts back home. everything had run dry, but here things were not much better. yet it's tiny house, but this is what we can afford to rent all houses in the village far from here. but we come here because we need access to water. we brought all the kids here and now they work as water carriers on fetching water and selling it is their only option of earning money for food every morning. this

is the reality for tens of thousands in the region who live in villages without access to water. they have to transport their water containers to water sources, then fill them up and bring them back to their villages, of course, and the price. and it's often children who are doing this work, skipping school 15 at clara. thea is one of them. she would prefer to be in school now, but she needs to support her family and the rivers more than 10 kilometers away in my law has said, sir, it's difficult for me because even to carry the water from the river to the truck is tiring. and then from here to the house, but if we don't have money, we don't eat and drink. so we use some of the water from my family and sell some to neighbors here to make some money. and some houses. after 2 hours of hustling for lift, a truck finally gets her family and their 40 empty water containers the right to

the river. quickly put the cans inside the truck. southern madagascar has always been poorer and dryer than the rest of the islands. the reason droughts combined with decades of neglect by the central government, has aggravated the situation. we meet the regional governor, he says there plans to build a road and a massive water pipe to bring in water from areas better off. but he can say, when you can expect that those problems to be a reserve within ah, one year or 2 years for the last 8 decades. nothing has been done. and this is the 1st government. this is the 1st regime which is ah, taking care of their whole of a problem. he says residents are also to blame because for generations, they have been cutting down the forests in the area that gets, madame bovary river differs. i says she has no energy to think about who are what is responsible for the crisis they handle was and had sometimes the children don't

get any money until the end of the day. so we late at night. sometimes we don't eat the whole day. we just stay hungry, then i just search for captain fruits. now we don't have anything to cook, so i need to go and look for cactus fruit. so we have a meal units, laundry now. so once again, she ventures out in the heat without shoes looking for something to eat, trying to make ends meet, finding food, and water's all the food i can think of every day. will a glimpse into the world's future there. now we can go to cop $27.00 where the climate crisis is at the top of the agenda. let's cross over to d w's. christine window up in charl. shake i christine. so the summit opened with a clear message that the scale of climate challenges around the world are enormous . what's been addressed to prevent a global climate disaster. while we're here,

i really have to point to the opening words of the un secretary general, antonio quoterush, who opened this conference by saying that the world is on the road to climate hell . and we've got our foot on the accelerator. so that's just the phrasing that is used here to give you a sense of the urgency. but having said that, the, the nations and the global self countries in the developing world who are particularly feeling the impacts of climate change. they were hoping that at this very summit, they could establish a climate fund, right? this is a facility where the industrialized nations, the the wealthier nations, those who we say are the culprits of having led us to this crisis of climate change . we're poor money into the spend that countries, most of those countries in africa could tap into to address the immediate needs of adaptation. we're talking about people who have been displaced ah, because of, of slow or rapid onset events. these disasters that are directly linked to climate change. and the hope was that by establishing this fund that you would have

a more sort of a permanent structure. so to say something that is tangible that you could really hold onto that you could put these countries and force them to commit to. and of course, they've not now done this, but this just means that that conversation are continues and it makes further negotiations difficult. because at the same time, you need countries in africa to get on board at this said direction that the global community wants to take in terms of. if i can use that analogy again, slamming the brakes on the direction that this vehicle is blowing in terms of the road to climate hell. and what that means is you need countries, africa, for example, to take a decision that they will stop investing in fossil fuels. stop exploring in the realm of fossil fuels and immediately begin the green transition. so we're talking about the issue of fossil fuel that also comes on top of the fact that european leaders have come under fire from a range of african activists who are accusing europe of exploiting africa for its energy resources. to tell us more about that. well, this is the interesting thing here. so this is the,

the global energy crisis. that is the increase in energy prices. the supply constraints, much of it attributed to the war in ukraine. russia's invasion of ukraine has left european countries, germany among them, seeking alternative sources for energy. but this, we have to say is in the short term. so they've gone to countries like synagogue, for example, at, and, and, and other countries around the world and on different continents. to seek gas supply, an important gas from these countries, yet it is these very same countries that germany is who are saying to the senegalese, don't exploit your gas reserves further. and this is where the problem lies. so you have people feeling that our gas is good enough for exports, hence fueling the sentiment off. this is colonial as sort of like a dealings or you approach is, has a colonial undertone to it, right? you are telling us what to do with our own resources that they're only good enough to export when you need them, but we can use them for ourselves in the same way. it is this extraction mentality

. so that is how it's been span, but i've spoken to civil society plays here who say let us not left our african leaders off the hook. they to have to make a commitment to let go of the fossil fuels to transition. because much of the infrastructure that has been built in commission now the projects that the senegalese amazon beacons for example, are currently building these projects are mainly designed to export gas, right? so the idea behind these investments is to export this gas. it's not so much for the domestic consumption in as much as you hear them citing africa's energy needs. many of these assets would only come in to a commission in about 15 years time from now. the question is, will country like germany still be looking for gas imports 15 years from now? so won't these assets become stranded as it's and so you've got to listen to all the different stakeholders here? is there anything that african nations can do at the moment to be more self reliant at that? that's very interesting question that you asked. i. i took part in an event where i

heard a, a representative from the namibian government saying that they needed to be more cooperation between african countries. for example, he cited the example of namibia, namibia, currently exports electricity from south africa. south africa itself is having challenges with electricity, but namibia is now on the road into tapping into it's a vast solar systems in terms of establishing that. and it's see, it sees itself as potentially being in a position to reverse that relationship. i as far as that goes and be the one to south africa with it's africa, a, with the, with the electricity problems based on exporting renewable energy. so there is definitely the need to say we have a continent and that is effort at this really can be the continent that becomes the 1st in terms of being the, the hopefully green content. i have to point out that there are about 21 countries in africa right now that are fully using renewable energy. that is, they don't use fossil fuels for electricity. these are, some of them are big countries like kenya, where much of the electricity supply is, is, is renewable energy. so the case that civil society plays,

the environmentalist on making to african leaders is to say, let's tap into these resources. africa has that in abundance. let's use that and we can feed our energy demands here on the continent. and then when it comes to things that green hydrogen, et cetera, we can export things like that. and that will bring in that the foreign currency revenues that many african countries desperately need or that is it only as christine learned while speaking to us in shellman shake. thank you so much. south africa has also suffered several droughts in recent years. now farmers are trying to adapt to changing weather patterns. here's how one father is talking. climate change in western cape had a mutant starts the morning in his nursery with a tiresome but important job spreading straw between the apple trees. he's growing a cost effective soil cover to save water and keep the soil moist the mostly built built up a lot a to say,

the say water we must look for before better measurements to move to safe water and a decent area of concern yet. so i don't think people, if elijah, tow important war to east, the farmer is saving water wherever he can and saved up for a drip water irrigation system. instead of spraying huge amounts of water, he can irrigate much less based on the plants needs. still for his business mountain needs a lot of water. he plants thousands of trees every year, mainly apples and pears. and he sells them to commercial farmers. despite all his efforts and his dam that collects water from a mountain stream currently being full, he's concerned so far there's been much less rain than last year. he still remembers the massive drought between 20152018 that destroyed crops and killed animals. most dams in the region when dry. bombgardener newbie has been researching

on droughts in southern africa for 10 years. whether patterns have become less predictable, she says, and it has been raining less do it was quite said in most places, way families will be like, well, i just gave up. i can do anything in some family to move home like that. this is just not going to happen. i have to leave. but of course, there are some beautiful studies out be where farmers, they've managed, they called they adopt new technologies. the, i don't you their ages and they work with commercial farmers who i'm entering them and is accessible. while big commercial farmers often have access to finance and technology to implement water saving measure is smaller farmers like out of molten . don't. he still managed to build a successful nursery business using his savings and strict water saving measures. despite the challenges that forced many farmers to close shop move now employees a team of 9 and hopes as children who already work on the farm will continue the

business. they are, they must do, you must follow my steps. so yes, it's from has do that. yeah, yes. hostesses to solidify opportunities in the culture business. i think it's a culture. oh, nowadays you sir. one of the sector, so they are really own patios, more job opportunities mountain now wants to start his own apple in production and continue to find new ways to make use of scarce water resources. ah, it's a milestone in population growth. the united nations says the number of people living on the planet has reached 8000000000, and that number is expected to rise, albeit more slowly. one city that's buckling under the pressure is lagos in nigeria . every year, thousands of people moved to africa's largest city. looking for better opportunities to w's america coin has more. oh, it's

a typical born in africa slider city that's must domino like homer is around 40 vehicles at a time. and it's bob lived here with around 20 passengers shaking them across league. that just a fraction of the roughly 20000000 people will call this at the home and make it to that many people in a place with little album plan in me a lot of traffic pollution and know most negotiations have a hard time accessing basic services like sanitation and electricity, many of us struggle just to find a roof over their heads, even though a legacy is quite lucrative when it comes to women, there is on time, so your pay at the end of the month. but then yeah, this struggle for transportation, sometimes when you have to your opening time you open an hour to work is maybe at the end where you have to go by for i think they will call me to lagos on a daily business. leave yard back out. i've been

a big guy in the middle of the night before you called me from one of that so and i saw that through the night, people were called me today. there was no stop on there, but they got us to sleep. so many, many people legos would either have or no legos now, but no, boy, you thought maybe it would be when i sent you one more or just unable before. well, i think for people who probably actually grow up in la garza and what kind of used to it, that's what i can say. i do, goldman does she do. so to now both teach close micies i've been used for gas often . gotcha. besides these issues more and more people continue to come to legals from around the country inside of a better life. one direct impact of this population. good. yes. functional slums. since there isn't enough affordable housing. well, this year they go state commission about $4000.00 houses for low income citizens with a promise of at least $7000.00 more than just

a drop in the ocean. i'm with the year almost over less from is yet to be completely the lever. the united nations reserved by 2035, the population. we're here 24000000 people. that shows how a big talent the government has to make this city livable. while some of the 8000000000 on the pallets didn't get an easy start, almost 15000000 babies are born prematurely every year around the world across the continent, hospitals are trying an alternative to w is. maxwell shook, sat traveled to a hospital in northern garner to visit deck, kangaroo care unit skin to skin, keepin b b warm new mother. teresa bonia is providing kangaroo care to pin a close hole on a prematurely born child. you have to put the baby. oh, your chests, b t brace side with a cloth,

just like have dan. then for 2 hours you can do the anti dean to meet and to learn the laundry. and the mother, it's molly teaching hospital set up is kangaroo k unit into into 10 because of the shortage of income betus mothers can stay here to look after the a premature babies of the given bit. just in this hospital, after 3000 babies admitted every year and in neonatal intensive care, unit one in every 3 of these are born before 10. the babies can stay here from days to weeks, depending on the severity of the conditions and in moved to their kangaroo k units to continue the skin to skin process. since then, the success story has catered for almost 3 quarters of all pretend babies born here . britain, babies, one of the reasons why we lose them a lot is their body temperature come flat, cheat, their mothers do have

a more stable body temperature. so when we keep them in that position, their mother and a baby gets to some equilibrium said that if their mother is babies, modest temperature is at it particular level. the baby's temperatures also around that by that one. new modest need to be schooled on the procedure. denise's sure them how to feed what temperature to keep the room ut and which close to where . so even door is form of care is family business risk. they are still practical challenges, but a hospital staff say the results are what it we need is facial space. we need more nurses because we are getting to results and we're getting a tinkling. most of our babies at fest that do die as a result of pretty. now it's not like that for tiny newborns like this kangaroo care has been, it will sound in success in this hospital. skin to skin contact has helped reduce

neonatal mortality. by more than half there is a bug near says she and her baby. i nipped it to the unit. if we were not ca, to do kangaroo when her k, i don't think they would have been dis match. beg, greets ball with a little bit. we and now having high weights, i don't think it would have been here. maybe distorted, would have been different. healthiest pic c kangaroo care has more benefits. it started early. it helps prevent infections promised breast feeding and strengthen the warm between a mother and her baby. ah. now national teams are arriving in cut off for the football world cup. with all the superstars preparing to hit the pitch and what could be the next generation of stars is getting ready in ivory coast, thanks to a program run by the sports governing body pfeiffer. together with unesco,

every kid my students on a pitch in ivory coast economic capital abbey john is taking place under the watchful eye of trainers from fever. ivory coast is the 1st country in west africa and the 5th on the continent to join the football for schools programs launched in 2019. it incorporates football related activities into education systems. one aim is to keep kids in school while they pursue their football dreams. almost the bar for a kid who is not so great in the school doesn't want to go. it's a good idea to encourage him on the path of football instead. but there's no assurance. the only assurance is to go to school. football for schools organizers believe the sport is uniquely position to incentivize students to stay in school while making professional grade training available to anyone who wants to play

here we are a bit different because our method connects football and education at the same time . yeah. competency. so there's the teaching of life skills, coupled with football and technical skill. organizers help the program may 1 day reach up to 700000000 children worldwide with the ultimate goal of nurturing talent for the game, while encouraging children to stay in school. while the, let's cross over to our west africa bureau of lagos and speak to t w 's or lisa to puma. lisa, we saw how soccer is inspiring young people, but this year nigeria and ivory coast. both multiple african champions will be missing out. what does this year's world mean for africans? well right here is the 2022. welcome. be that i think may with all the controversies about the bill to based on them and 45 african teams is all about put

in africa. finally, on the map, perhaps going beyond what the final stage, maybe when it may be final. so it's all about going fall for the 5 african themes in this for them. and that is a strange woke up have to be said, if not to use low. usually some are welcome of june july. this is november going to december for quite a bit strange, but we went out to districts of niger area to find out what the funds think about the welcome on who they think would do well from africa. i'm excited because i lost a bull. well, the excitement will be better if not joe's plane both got on the assignment as will equally. i see africa as early as regards the early snigger. so i believe the candy. i think then he got on go far and he got uncovered the can qualify from the growth stage. i prefer like ghana because of is africa wanted and nat geo, amina john guys. sonya angela,

i was suppose gonna to go for dar also wasn't germany because generally has been the hub everton to take this what course. and what's a feeling about how these 5 african teams will likely compete? ah, is going to be a tough one. we've got to know those african seems a morocco and that's an easier adobe look into to what they can to you know, go past the group stage and we go to west african seems in that the black stars of ghana, interestingly. and also i, my room and as synagogue, these are the 3 teams who have, you know, ever made it to at least a quarter finals of any woke up gonna senegal and cameroon. so maybe this is a time to can see can gun i go to the semi finals even if you have problems, you know, qualifying yes, it was almost like a look of one against nigeria kind of cameron, go beyond what they did with the days of roger mila, or synagogue, who are the current african champions? can they, you know, go one more than they did in 2002, when they beat france in a group says i went all the way to the quarter finals. that is

a big question from an african perspective, maybe $22020.00 to walk up in casa, might be the year we have an african seen in the semi finals, or perhaps the finals. he will be hard, but that is a general hope for the continent. and who do you think is likely to do over the groundwork here? well, hopefully synagogue the african champion. so from an african perspective, i think our route for synagogue to perhaps take that african torchlight, you know, to the finals in casa. and if senegal doesn't win, who do you think will rail at? that's the really tough one. ah, my gut tells me england. perhaps maybe now and never for england. the 3 lions were led by captain hurricane. oh, little messy. finally. perhaps a bout with argentina. you never know re let you never know with these tournaments . all right, that is definitely is elisa took wilma in lagos. thank you so much. and he is something that will probably throw off any reporter in the field. journalist elven

co window was in the middle of his report in a wildlife parking kenya. this baby elephant is to install the shell. take a look circle of life under the rising drought cases. it is up to us to be guardians of our own natural world, save our wild speed and provide our current kept his cruel, then handed, handled it like a true pro. one next to me as well. anyway, thanks for out. that's our show be can be sure to check out other stories on a d, w dot com, forward slash africa. we're also on facebook and on twitter, i'm bringing the bahamas. thanks for watching. i'll see you soon. bye bye. ah, with
