6:06 am
we had to cross it to get home. we had no other choice i got for when i went there and saw it myself, wholly be helpful. climate change was caused by the energy sector burning of more fossil fuel and things like that. but the impact is being fed by the water sector with too much water to little water, too much humidity to when little sine my sugar. so climate change, cool water is affecting society. okay. which means it's affecting just whatever thing. it's not just flags adults, but it's horticulture. it's livestock, it's you and help you keep naming it just about everything. okay. what blemishes is basically saying is the future is not going to be like the past?
6:07 am
ah yes, i got a turn today. well, i haven't, i don't know either. if they take tomorrow, i certainly won't. in these little bucket like little people are people to know. john, i left 2 more. what i meant with our water hill, your waters ready? up the water belongs to everyone. in the, in the middle now comma, loud in the back of or my name as kamala david potter got it. i live in from poor iceland diary in selling under less often. i bought a home in. i got married when i was 17,
6:08 am
a boiler whatsoever. i had my 1st child during my 1st year of marriage, even though they were while on the bottom. now i am 42 or 3 children. while a boy is washed away, had what had been done. ah, a decent bond. i had to fetch water. oh, the grass and i had many other household chores, neither one of them i had to cook and clean for every one to home. it was hard for god, only one. and that's how this happened to me. ah
6:09 am
ah, in the portal alone, people pass all the time, but when they call you kill docker pitches into town to people, a 5 compet down to we need to we regularly train their diva, do go got to go to the site, gave us a chance to make friends and former close community. satisfied, so not legal name, olga gilbert on mike elliot, badly created an environment of brotherly coexistence. when people see us as protectors, my become a place of mutual affinity, where there's a sense of belonging mindset. that's one good thing. i learned how, by the way, let that tell me then when,
6:10 am
if there was no sports field here before people used to bring their cows to pasture . mother, there was nothing but grass and many large trees. while you're told we cleared the land ourselves, what, how the trees had you drew? there are farmers and shepherds close by, and they often carry spades and shovels. they helped us to pull out the roots. i'm going to kill me that we worked really hard to turn our practice filled into a proper soccer coach. i'm going to get in is 31 of the lab was 30 years ago and i get this since then. we train and play here.
6:11 am
6:12 am
6:13 am
our life and our land that i do need her with all their banner. wow. know of any? no, no. i think on the ladder. it takes about 3 hours to go fetch the drinking water and bring it back home. laza, you need about 30 minutes to get to the well again. then it takes a while until you get the water out. there are usually lots of people and you have
6:14 am
to wait your turn in the bible. there's only the one spring for every one of them. got. 5 a lot the container is for carrying the water are heavy, but you always tell yourself that the more you can search on one trip, because the longer the water will last at home, i got on board what it'll get eaten by a boy. he may have been going on, buddy, i knew i had to do it all by myself. there was no other option than to do the
6:15 am
household chores alone. one day they takes around one and a half to 2 hours to get on the water. as for us and for the cattle make the trip $4.00 to $5.00 times a week, sometimes even 6 times days out, and that's why the illness got worse. the rover and i had to have an operation option to be a good thing, bobby hoodie annually is to the hotel the problems with my room again when i was pregnant with my 2nd son. but nothing is easy, hoss work as work. daily tom o lee. oh glad elaine i'm there weren't any other women in the house to help me. there were only men. they didn't help born and that's why it was very difficult to dwell with
6:16 am
other ah ah sullen that man fairly close for total it. but if i have any panic will sorta, there are springs around so yonder, but the water levels are very low. what bad are people still need to fetch drinking water? finding honey by tap water in the villages isn't potable and, but it can be used for washing for the cattle or for household chores. i apply what i can find, you know, now muscular kona, and i forgot i did not become somebody there, but the cell worker, the nepalese government has been trying to supply shall yonder with water since 1975. but there are still unresolved problems. oh,
6:17 am
there are places in napa were entire villages on the hills or be abandoned because the springs of dried and is all we can get the water there. there's just no way because the next water source may be 500 meters down below. or you cannot be, you can carry water drove 2050 meters. you can't get 500 meters every the award and so still hope to survive. it well in springs are not on anybody's valerie. it's springs that people use for drinking water in the hills. people don't use streams and unless we properly understand that and do something about of the hill life is going to be untenable in all across the mala. ah santana i mean o d d bob sanchez, my older sister sons. and anyway alexi on here. she always used to help me
6:18 am
with my homework. in san fran at alley, we used to argue, and if i didn't do my own work with subway than a lady, i love to. she loved every one and she'd help her brothers and sisters with their school work. i don't know when a sullen up boiler for tomorrow she liked studying it out and taught her younger siblings and cousins. and she looked after them just as i got it up. what ah, the minute they gave me they did here do they? she was diligence and everything she did. mm. oh boy,
6:19 am
i know we had our financial problem, elliot ala, we couldn't provide for her. and the way that we wanted to put on the zone cannot, they say, oh, i don't worry one moment there. i wouldn't really you gonna boiler voting, but i don't 1st she went to a boarding school close by my old one and then we had too many children in the family and we couldn't afford the boarding school anymore. so we sent her to a state school and took her an hour to get there. and she always said, i'll study hard and become very successful. the walk through monday, one to one. and i think i to
6:20 am
me on my daughter's name was in china, bella, me put a liberal, she was swept away in the floods, me. ah. any regularly we hear the sentence, what are the life, what is necessary for all aspects of life? climate change is not just about computer change, right? want me it's more than that. it's also about changes in the precipitation rainfall . nipple is one of the countries facing very high amount of climate
6:21 am
change. the watering is court and it is around point 06 degrees celsius. per year, which is quite intensive by a global standards the onset and the deed of monsoon seems to be changing but the press are forgotten. the rainfall is also changing in this part of the work. it's not only about 2 months war go you'd so also lot cool little water. i only took half what you didn't fill it up water. so this one's left over like yes, with that one, it's 2 buckets. you like to do 2 of the small ones fit into the large bucket to oh
6:22 am
yes, you could fill up to smaller bucket, not the larger one, just that one and that one of those. i can, you filled out one. i think it will. these 2 and the big bucket, where do you get the water? i think it's on. no the when you feel before or you mean the 2 big bucket? what did i say? i didn't understand you all good. put more in the long move. any one it really hurt i'll be that of either you. oh, it itched inside. yes, delani. i was reloaded and had major problems. i bought
6:23 am
a da da da da da da. during my period i would bleed heavily. oh, it was even more painful that had the bleeding was heavier than a body can bear with them. yeah. well i got an evil lounge. i had a pro lapse room for 20 years. me to wash ally and lewis. i didn't buy my law to leave us. i did say by 2 years ago, uterine cases were frequent in san tar. women were getting married very young and having children in quick succession, often one a year. you bought this last. they had many children or say you found me coming to ne policy, the one is 30 dawning, 2015. the estimated deb soon with the 600 podium to pull out. so pulling from this
6:24 am
did you when a woman gives birth to revise that are against gradually low, that means a big come to get what a dinner i'm going to say brand site. so during that video, you see the bound to work hard, especially when doc i bring a little pressure in dr. dore of breast that has increased. so in that huge ism that does processes that bird. so did it gradually come back to normal process is advert. ah ah, finding the families ended up on me back a lot of questions i want to live in the water problem plays a major role in connection with the uterine cases. because women have to do all the household chores alone. and they think they'll have more time for other tasks if they fetch a lot of water at once. and this leads to them carrying too heavy
6:25 am
a load. it's also not easy to walk up hill with these heavy loads. carrying water over long distances is directly linked to the uterine issues. the women continue to work and during great pain, pamela bunny into so fine, you go into a body, i will, i, but you see me who do my back. i leave it on that. who when the floods came, we had an observation post on the bridge shop. what you, what you bought, it was to register how high the water fell, or rose in one hour. well, that's how we measured water levels in the affected area. there was
6:26 am
a power cut back until we went to the bridge torches to check the water level, but my teeth will not let it near the map and reckon the dns at its head thought us the rain was heavier than we could have ever imagined. but i did get him with somebody by anybody. ah, if he did, he i, he was a flooding was so powerful that the cato river flowed right through the town, and inundated around $800.00 houses, lovable above arctic r duty the ball body i owe body. i said that when the waters came, we launched a rescue operation. we went from door to door and said,
6:27 am
you must evacuate the house until i thought the flood waters are here. somewhere. life is an am mulkey group. my think we informed everyone, personally, house by house. i think 2 to 300 people took part in the rescue at the time the shit in stephen mit. lemme to with that about my ticket. i think i think i think that it all unless ends up on a saturday and team when i say under my supervision i some of our friends formed a team to go to the river and checked the state of the house. is there a middle team and we didn't know how to save people. busy me, i'm like that it was a challenge. so what i thought of this were gonna win that lay roger now to use the inner tubes from car tires to get the residents out of the flooded areas. you legend guy to go to. so phil, i sat in the fragmented out at this by the little ada. family finance leslie? ah ha, i mean,
6:28 am
i think our allies are club members hopped out to. i'm beside the amf club for me, melissa. together we rescued 40 or 50 people as further literacy boyle or the boy labriola julia down with emma labor. yet he said when he did, i remember that in the past just was the river used to burst its banks about every 10 years at sea and body. it possibly rapid over the last 5 to 7 years. it's been happening every 2 years to daniela's. he bought now that had told her is developed and built up. there is no where for the water to drain away naturally. some of it are up by level bodied are illegal body metaphorically. so there's a big difference between the floods of the past and those of today. in way to to you are the gray here by nissan to i'll is it grievously the water was low and water just flowed through it had one other than the gravel, atlanta to gravel or either touch in
6:29 am
a gravel from the building sites in the mountains chip jack to the water he, i but he knew collabo didn't by the good will at pushes up the water level and means flood waters are higher too door, mighty mighty i. deforestation is increasing at a rapid rate in the 2 ladies. similarly, there is also a lot of a deal to practices and busy cost men in the forest, which means that it's also leading to our situations and saw your audience because of the angle to practices at the, at the and the down is themes. and this is also leading to lot of flat flats and in depth is flowing into the are clearly the us this uber as the past. the that isn't always fun. and without the proper man has been. yeah. should it isn't,
6:30 am
these problems are going to be aggravated in the future as well. what the increase greenhouse gas actually causes is of course increase in the price per decent amount in this part of the world in south asia. but also the variability of monson produce and year by year and within the season also increases with 000-0000
6:31 am
i. 7 didn't i don't know, i was at home that day by making i was sleeping because i had a fever. when i told her she shouldn't go to school because it was raining so hard . she said she had exams and had to go. lou garza, i was only didn't james, i was undergone me till because it was raining. we were all worried about sunshine . i heard something about him gum so la tentatively that her school was one hour away and she probably had to walk to the river. i go all my daughter, only one only i wasn't supposed to pick her up. her mother got his after a while, i caught sight of her walking home. he, i think his old us had stopped and lack of my brother in law offered to drive the teachers over the damn thought. i know they said that the bus brakes would be too
6:32 am
weak for that. madeline bus mom calling about a cross at all one until we had to cross the river. don't it was very stolen that day. sort of could, it was the only way back. so we had no other choice but went up. wagner quality to only disciplinary son. de la more, it was sunshine m me and for other people, call it on it. put us on a caller. they come, i me, the 6 of us walked in a row or it's either so so but it did allow you, i was holding on tight to san china. sutherlin went to some of the getty audio designers cuz i totally, oh school. satellite or do the 2 others kept hold of 2 of some, china's friends on a donnie, didn't by law already sort of money. we took a few steps to auto get on willy sanders. i was focusing on some china
6:33 am
learners as we moved forward, she slipped and fell unable to move to the la la, whose address and i couldn't hold on to her shoulder any more. so i grabbed her hand just in the river, swept st. china and me away ella. i kept hold of her brucely while i settle on, when it's only about it. i pointed to him, i went down there and saw it myself. i had to watch as the flood swept away my daughter and my brother in law. i couldn't speak. i ran along the river, but i couldn't see any one when he didn't do it at her history. stiff ticket water from la deal with him from the living that you did. he had a there were large rocks dilemma. dia and we were carried further down the river.
6:34 am
gotcha. and i was getting struck left and right after one of those impact. and i let go of some china, atlanta just was i don't know exactly when i retorted it. all i can remember is that i collided heavily 3 or 4 times bio bite on it. eventually i got out of the river. i looked everywhere for some china, but she wasn't there. every one was crying, and i asked that they'd found some china something i ran down the river to look for her shouting. she'd been carried another 400 meters down, drink any i was sleeping for my brother in law called me more glad when i got there. the floods had already carried them both off. and after a while, my brother in law came back. someone else had found sanction or further down the river and brought her to us or took her to the medical center. but she was already
6:35 am
dead. and both noon later me, me me who people who live in close proximity with natur, and we must live in that is a supposed to switch to environmental hazards like floodplain steep slopes. and we also lack the necessary infrastructure needed to me to get the changing impacts of climate. so therefore also we are so much fun,
6:36 am
wriggled to it. and no one is, it isn't enough to fight that. is this emergency alone? we are together and we must act that against all the defense that we, the young people, amenities, and of 4 countries lies in the forefront to be of the it's to be, it's grievous consequences. and the sad part is that many of the victims, they don't know what is happening, why the stuffing the time is the stacy is a key component in the fight against climate. and this is particularly very relevant for a country like basically because this is, this is an issue that has emerged from the i looked at the bad development that you western world did. and the consequences that we're having to face when do you enough to policy convention was negotiated?
6:37 am
the focus was very much in the reducing desk. i'm sure 20 years later you can see the prism context, the whole time it is in best i mentioned achieve. there's been a higher realize that this reducing greenhouse gas emission is not going to solve the problem even though we stop the emission right? now we do like, you know, the jewel presented. the impacts are already happening. who aspects to solve this issue, that one is reducing the emission, but then we know that even if we reduce the emission to that the impact is going to happen for many tickets. so it would not stop. so the other way is to, you know, pick axons to adopt the changes, so that's the adapt isn't and vigilance meaning, so local excellence to add up to the changes and billions of the people and society . i think that's really important. so just reducing greenhouse gases emissions are not going to solve the problem there. so problem of the global world now, it's just not happening any country,
6:38 am
but the only question is where the resources this of course, also under the purchase agreement and the inevitable. you can be and that is the duties of these countries to support country like ours. but if you want to look at the green climate fund or the other funds that are set up, it is extremely difficult. the way the process and mechanisms have been established in a way that it takes sometimes several years to decide resources from the bank. i mean, for instance, even the it to the project that nipple just visit it nearly took nipple over 2 years. to exit. this is
6:39 am
a want any one that you have on amazon danza. i'm the one with blue on the bottom. i had, it was on the things can get worse is on the now if we talk about our problems that can attract unnecessary attention and things get more complicated because will know about that. was written in any kind of it was very painful. so i couldn't eat or sleep properly any. so i sat around doing nothing, milan i couldn't eat and drink or do any physical work and exam, but he didn't, he, my husband didn't want to go to the doctor with me. i told him i wanted to go over to the lakers. i was getting weaker. then i made the decision myself and my husband didn't want to go with me. so i went alone on hulu telling me all the time, hetty. ah,
6:40 am
well it ebony delora yank or delani cannon on nevada robson boat and bertha of above and over and over at the hospital in my village. they told me i had to go to court mon, due for an operation. on monday, on monday, my only allow value. i traveled to cut my due by bus on my own. any of all at the time of the operation. they told me i had an infection option got on, had a gabby. lemme get hardway. delegate was addon domains law. they said, if i come just a few days later, i would have got cancer among law, one of the loan number, not by li, gotten a bio do one in july, i felt i had to have this operation to prevent cancer voice . however, she the, whatever my children are still young,
6:41 am
i havent married them off yet. the of having children isn't enough far behind. i'd also like to do something for them to play on a gallon of water when the boil all this on law, this manfully, it'll be a year since the operation. now i feel fine. i deal with that. i'm going to 32. and a policewoman. i'm actually in the idiots, the dick your most off dear household walks. are they need to bring the water, they need to grow their drops than you do after the children. i feel that by the youth and human people are uniquely impacted by climate change because of the intersecting vulnerability days such as the dependence on agriculture and the lack of employment. the increase in the over to date and decrease in opportunity is
6:42 am
climate change only intensifies this impact in calming years. ah, one music in battery is that was good. we're not have as much amount of water. or they have to spend much more time catching water from a distance being sources because the nearby spring sources upgrade. all this been, you know, in some cases, hours to get water, which means the kind they are a, you know, they have for other kind of more, more productive, more creative work is reduced. and the wash spot is that though few countries who are mainly responsible in creating the smith denying this existential trade with our ineffective policies and also denying climate finance for the board countries. the developed
6:43 am
countries would support the developing countries by providing the climate finance and helping them to move towards the climate rosalynd. the block meant barrier, the us up, i really gotta get on emissions. and the developing nation stood also upright eyes listenable developing, and put natur in the heart of its step love, me ah, ah, that our drivers, yet am our drivers of which we are guilty yet and now to day, off, over bumping, all filling up, reach osborne's robes letting them silt and waste away, or just filling them up so that you build a bus, bought a corner daughter, god knows what else. okay. and preventing this infiltration. this is within our ability to do something about that good policy. if we don't do this,
6:44 am
then with climate change, as things get worse, then this bad situation is going to get much worse. oh, i'm gonna tell my them as an economist, as hina, are pitches unusable. toyota has oh, we're trying to manage and we're training at a school telemundo. m as in the sports field, there isn't so good. but a bit better than the other options. there are. yeah. so that's why we go there. i think that as, oh, there just isn't another pitch that's big enough to attend the sanity to the small . but we're managing our downtown san was are they were when come to let us still seeing a lot of discord, difficulty in some other money, let's say ah, the long term solution is a 700 meter damn from the bridge to the soccer field, the damn body this barrier between the river and the sports field must be at least
6:45 am
3 meters high. priority is good. they're getting by order. if you would say, ah, didn't umbrella to camp or so would that do so? well, that's the only way to protect the town money. what's up this particular device to sort of our petty body all day so floods will return. yeah. or vital derm hasn't been built latina. this we worried that the next flood will wash away our training fuel? began penny tinted. so softly, a condo at the embassy, but if we don't take action, we'll have a catastrophe in our hands. the town will exist any more, it will be a desert with no people, no animals, no fertile soil, then a we slammed into 2 when it comes to flood, the only solution are a great edition flood control department seem to think it's just built embankments
6:46 am
. now that doesn't solve the problem because you build amendment in one area, you know, the opposite side is the, is only a flooded you build on both. then what happens is like with a quasi river, you jacket that it was the spectrum. we use it in on the jacket on the river, so he still allowing the river to flood and you know, deposited scent all over you jacket the river, and dice still gets deposited within that. natalie, the river bed keeps rising. rising until you're your embankment discount, horribly as that are, are these are both in embankments. okay. and then in order to bridges them banquet and causes master flooding, and this is purely because of stupid water management. ah, ah, i like,
6:47 am
ah, ah, yeah. father, he you mean by now by the words here, 9. the believe anna. i saw when we started was that it will you they go yet, alamo, and until about the ambrosia sumner, music, albany. i answered a lot. that's the main street. there's no way of avoiding it on when we drive along it and see the river. we slow right down. we still remember it. battle i always think of her before i reached the spot. i've been with atlanta, i guess we don't even allow the children to cross the road and are scared to let them leave the house. even when there's only light rainfall. we're scared to send them to school, back to one another that with amazon. this road was built when we were small. we played there and even pitched in with the construction work in the village, they'd collect money to build a suspension bridge. they'd already bought the materials and said the build it all
6:48 am
that they didn't. and that's why the accident happened. we la would up would when allowed you. i know as i were there, so go to one now and then over at nalley. honda what my, what you were in law sung in i did i will m song a letter abbey at a that i'll always remember taking her to visit my parents. uh huh. whenever we visited my family, she always scolded the other children when they misbehaved. love cleaning. so sometimes she says, she's not doing well and she doesn't feel good and she can't eat lunch. we try and
6:49 am
reassure her there and then tell her that she needs to let the pass go. but doesn't movie. we tell her to think of her to other children. grieving won't bring her back . you will need a me late sunday. whenever i think of her, i want to cry. when i hear her name or look at her photo, i just can't believe she's no longer there. for me. ah ah
6:50 am
6:51 am
a lot of money over here. you're giving you a lot of money. nicer. how her mother fell in because she worked too hard and carried to my go. she'll have to try to come up with ways to avoid that. i'll tell her my story and ask her to pay attention to her health. my love, i hope she doesn't have to live and suffer as i do. i want her to have a happy life. oh oh oh,
6:52 am
i alarm little love lady. p like mart one a little lonely. what would it be out of want to go anything get anything grandma wanted to tell you we're ready to rebuild it or so. the soil again, it was cold receding atlanta trees around the pitch and put up a fence around the side of some for that we need financial support. so we've asked the local government for help and the law. we've prepared everything for the reconstruction. neither one of them. okay, but the dam plays the most important part of all the lagging them. if we have bad them, we've got long term protection of the bad boy. one it is by this order today. ah,
6:53 am
6:54 am
oh i oh, i, i have a lot of candidates and because what i've seen is that they're capable and they're also very interested in this. i think, i think on the young jan that isn't going do that. all, all folks are on the do it in the ends of young people united globally and give me hope and gives me the courage to fight and to act for the climate. ah visa, no future way, all of the people's get it could opportunity it. good, right? the all good. that right? to leave in
