still lives in poverty, exploited beauty, africa's new l dorado. w. what are sports and scoring? we say little about never giving up sports life every weekend on d w. hello my fellows of into 7th percenters. it's time for your favorite magazine show the 77 percent. i am wendy camara and we're about to take you for a ride fast in your seat belt. ah, coming up on the show. we caught up with some 77 percent of the northern kenya to

find out how they feel about clearly we take a closer look at how climate change is impacting that all african continent. and in winder spatial project is helping prepare and power. the next generation of environmental. after years of severe drought, the situation in northern kanga is desperate. animals are di, fields have dried out and people have little to eat. from november 2021 to august 20. 22. the number of hungry people in east africa has increased chucky by 193 percent in care alone, according to the i r c. but this we john isn't the only one battling this horrific conditions. nigeria, nisha, chad and the surrounding region were only recent swamp by heavier waves and sliding

between june and october this year. and in recent years, more and more parts of northern africa are all taught. witnessing the extreme effect of climate change. water is life when the source in local ton of milas really trend dry, she had no choice but to relocate. now she and her neighbors have re settled in cattle. they rebuild their hurts near well, but they need more than water to survive. la la la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, alabama. everything is empty now. i've read, we have nothing to eat, it, it's empty. and you again the last 5 days and i didn't have anything to ela, develop them. sometimes i slept on an empty stomach. i and, and again, it was only this morning that the lord vision gave me one. i wanna, ya know,

rainfall has decreased by more than 2 thirds in the past 6 months. and with the temperatures hovering at around 40 degrees celsius, livestock farmers can only look on as the animals die. here on the border to south sudan close to the ongoing conflict. many people have firearms in order to defend their watering holes and animals. even the youngest carry weapons, the battle for water is now an everyday reality. 3 days ago, there was conflicts to web the, the communities while fighting over pasta alone. the sort i know that you concede the abbey of this drought and saw the how to crossover in such a fossa, ford there anymore, saw that, ah, it comes along with our conflicts each and every time that these drought in these, the region some n g o's active in the region, but they're not able to help everyone. the woeful program says it needs more than

40000000 dollars in emergency 8, and that is just to help the hardest hit communities, local town. marla and the scope of woman, i say, my nomadic they settled easily into their new home with international funding, the n g o pen africa has drilled a well here and provided the woman with a plot of 5 hector's projects liked us, inspire hope, and inspiring hope. and courage among the 77 percent. as is one thing this show strikes to do. climate change is especially important for the youth, not just in africa, but around the globe. young people have literally been shouting car regis lee at what leaders to bring about policy changes and ideas to combat the effects of a warming world. so we handed over their mike to a group of some very insightful young canyons into kana county. edith can money

over to you. hello and welcome back to the 77 percent in his 1st inaugural international address . kenneth president william router vowed that climate change would be central to this government. while we are here, intro cannot in the north of kenya to find out what challenges lay ahead of him for this promise. and i have some lovely people here to try and explain what exactly is happening in this region. and i'd like to start with althea, she's an agronomic engineer, but just to give us an overview of the climate profile of this area, what is of the nature of the earth, the weather patterns, and how has that changed over time? so this is a cone to which is an arrogance him are in area and the communities with of livelihoods is highly affected by the climate change. because when we have the change in weather patterns, that means that we look,

visitation cover for them livestock. we also have challenges with water because for crop production we relay a lot on our borders or that is for irrigation. and when we have a extreme with the conditions, that means that the water live was also good. don't. well, thank you so much for that summary and i want to come now to our mamma here who lives in this area. she's a native truck on a woman and i just want to find out from you mama, what have you seen changing over the years? among barrel and kinney, we've been having a serious drought that has killed our livestock. our people are now hungry, especially our women and children. donna were only living by grace, of course. he knew they're cutting like a map carrying can go my very keener look winking. so drought is obviously a front and center issue here, and you can see that it is already having real consequences. this, by the way, being the 5th consecutive failed rainy season. that this region of the great hon of africa is experiencing supplement. i want to come to you. how bad is the situation

statistically? since 1969, the temperature intercom account of increased by 2 degrees. but since don't worry up to now. we've got experience in the rain. so the 0 to crane are in for it, but on to come a county as compared to 15 years ago. i'm just trying to figure out, you know, looking around it might be difficult for somebody to imagine how do you survive in this environment and why stay in this environment? if it's so hush, i think our, we are pastries came here and her. we sat here and i those are the way of living for our self. so are we can move from may be here to get i li, audra k. no, because i did that aspect to find security also. ok. so you brought up something really important, which is one of the impacts of climate change being conflict. but i want to come to you dominic because is another phenomenon which is a climate migration. and i know parts of your family have been forced to move from

one of these areas into another one in such of literally greener pastures. at the moment we are talking about our pasta released, moving back from china across the border to get a place called cover in such for posture. so when the, when the, when, when the other community, it's going to community. now that is moving, that is moving to, to their place inside for poster. it creates a situation whereby they, they want to, we're the ones. what of the animals, the want posture away? the sim community also wants to see him. so let me come back her to mama here i would like to day if you wanted to get water, where do you go and find it? how far is it? and what do you do on a daily basis to sustain yourself to feed yourself and your family lam. when is wrong, veronica alone, and we get water from far away. whether not this village has no water. we fetch drinking water from the pool area, about 10 kilometers away. and once we fetched water, we go looking for wild fruits in the bush along the truck while river. yeah. only there the while at the knuckle. my, the gunny. ah,

i older like the wagon than oh yeah, i thought about the body. well, so reason we're hearing some very dark things on the other side that these food insecurity malnutrition, and may be under nutrition. where do even begin to resolve this? a good question. they debate on climate change. sometimes i said a professionally bit that only serves the needs of a few clink of people or, or ames to gain and profit from this kind of a bit. because if this debate was meaningful, then this debate would be translated into the local people's lives. so i want to ask the people who are seated at the back, then maybe you can help me. ah, can they remember the last time a locally that came a sat with them about climate change? if they can remember, just raise their hands. who would of nora? the mob? no, no. oh there she actually looks disgusted. oh, i guess because of the state of leadership. so coming to have to come back to you there. so many policies, these even

a beautiful climate change act and his county. and yet people are still feeling disconnected from the leadership. how is that possible? initially didn't of remarks in class, we need to have structures which will include actually communicate with the public to the masses or not us through the clements, into the ceilings of up to sean and even ali wanting. can you give me examples of adaptation and mitigation? things that are being done, which are actually working, county government is doing water project. for example, we've drilled over 1900 bonds. just a courtesy, lawyers to ensure people are getting water. we are the program saw and improve improvement of breathes. so that we come off climate resilient breeds intercom, county and so many other innovations, but we are doing. okay, so lucille, we've heard what government is doing when you look at countries like egypt and israel, you get the sense that we could be doing so much more as to how can i go into these a lot that we can learn. but also we have over 1000 boss who's as derrick to had

mentioned dealing a book is a huge, huge investment because you have to drill, you have to equip and it is so sad that so many of this boy who is currently do not have water so that means our efforts are actually diminished because like, what more can we do right now other than have emergency response is i'd like to wrap this up. so if there's anybody who has some solutions for me, this is the moment one of the things that people need to do. so to move this discussion, sir, from new york, a divorce of brussels. these are, is a very big debate to the pasta released communities. we are, we almost hit by the drought, we appealing to the wild leaders or to bring this discussion home to where the problem is really this was never going to be an easy conversation. it's not an easy one globally. it's not an easy one locally. but one thing has come up pretty clearly from my panel here that we need to do more talking and more talking to each other and not at each other. i think the local guys here who joined us today, i think the panel for breathing,

the heat. and i especially thank you for watching. bringing young people on board is absolutely essential when it comes to policy making. they view the issues with a different perspective and can offer solutions. that's exactly why we go to many parts of africa and make sure your voice is a heart. if you want to watch that whole debate, do visit our youtube channel. moving on, it's no secret, but africa is a continent with a pardon me, nicely young population which has taken securing the future of the planet. but many young people still remain unaware of the exact extent of the issue. climate change is the biggest threat our planet is freezing, and each one of us needs to do here or how beat to make sure that the mother of so wise for all of us, from job to disrupted rainfall,

passions to dry up lakes and flooding africa accounts for about 4 percent of all global greenhouse gas emission, but it's already disproportionately bearing the brunt of climate change. how exactly we know the science, but do you know how bad the situation really is? in africa 2021 was the 3rd warmest dia on record. as the mercury rises, agriculture, but activity growth in west africa has fallen by about 34 percent more than any other region in the world. over the past, 50 years, drug related hazards have claimed the lives of the half a 1000000 people across the continent. entry get to $70000000000.00 in regional economic losses. by 2030 water stresses estimated to effect about 250000000 people on the continent and displace up to 700000000 for young people across the continent to fix the ominous. but have we done enough?

the cop 27 was recently held in egypt. but did it deliver? cop 27 in egypt brought together more than 45000 people from around the world. the conference ultimately agreed on establishing a loss and damage funds that will compensate countries, he'd hardest by climate change. it also kept alive the goal of limiting global warming to $1.00 degrees celsius. but the latest field doesn't include any new agreement on cutting fossil fuels or setting new targets to reduce greenhouse gas emission. is that enough? are you happy with it? what do? because you feel about the whole climate issue, and what would you like to see? right? anyone wait a minute, wait for it, we need to figure out what to do as an issue which has been substantially talked about across the globe. young people taking center stage to demand change in

policies and business practices. but many feel that the action still phone short of what's required. one way to help the planet is to use its resources backed up. and that takes us to tennis, most northern and possibly most off weed id campus on the shores of lake to cannot call founded by breeze unwary. who you also had from in the street debate the campus act as a training center, as well as the staff of incubation hub. it trains young people and supports them in building their businesses in the field of i t web design and branding. we meet 3 young start of founders and find out how the campus is paving the way for a ton of tea livelihoods in, in the north of kenya, a stone's throw away from the world's largest lake lake to cannot live the learning lions tech hub in the region known for it's harsh environment and we're most

communities are depend on their livestock. the hub offers new opportunities it's an ice city, happ we're based in, they're not them part of kenner. and the idea is to fight poverty using digital opportunities. while we get young people from this region and really equipped them with a high end digital skills designed by bulky, novice, docutech, francis carry, the ip campus stands out in the landscape that otherwise has little infrastructure group using locally for materials it's adapted to surrounding the campus itself as both training santana, startup, incubator, to date 27 classes have completed its curriculum. many of them are run by former students with the help of external trainers. so, and we joined that 3 months basic training where we, we learnt about web development. this is in graphic design basics in music

production, photography, filming business, 4 years later, maureen with many have to teach of managers the school and farming projects and runs and business selling traditional took on a craft. my interest was creating and marketing to kind of products because i feel like going to was not really well presented. i've lived in villages, aunties, and me with my family. and i see the kind of walk into the kind of utilizing the campus of facilities and international connections also formed the backbone of the digital lions. a company founded by former students, offering branding, web development, and design. the team now have clients all over the world. the entrepreneurs come from a nearby town, and neither of them had any formal training before and boxes on their venture. so, i think right now we need to change the mentality of going to school,

playing to lanham, get their white collar jobs. i think if you get an opportunity like for us, if you get trained as long as you have your love to an intimate, you can walk anywhere in this world. you can be a digital norman. with that startup, they've even managed to make a small profit. self reliance is another key value of the hub. but unlike the start up for learning, lyons still receives funding from abroad buffy from prison and his team have, are ever launched their own game changing projects like producing chicken feet from the left overs of local fisheries. so the idea is to really not to live in want to behind a village whereby the community is empowered to exploit the available parties. and some former students like marine, have bought into the vision. so if the future holds opportunities for her here and

to connor, that's exactly where she wants to stay. let's now head over to a land lock, eastern african country to boost environmental awareness in winder. the bio diversity conservation organization has launch a project for young people, aka the future caretakers of the regions pristine forest. it is aimed at students in school from early childhood to university. let's see what they've been up to. these youths belong to an environmental club. he teaches them about wild animals in the hopes will help protect species diversity and poo peaceful coexistence between people and their fellow creatures. up to protect the environment and in to you. but also when you find in many more in the community, you can advocate for it don't to keep the animals don't this tub or cut the trees. always think that when you are protecting the environment, trees, animals,

you are protecting your sales of law. immune good, national hon. that is a treasure true for biological diversity. the 1068 to plant species have been counted here. and many of these grasses and trees unfound in any of the forests or parks, you wonder? what is not just the greenery that's unique? the park is home to $322.00 species of birds and making it a great spot for bird watching. ah, bucket school, the learn more about what the seen this project is part of the rwandan government initiative into you guys. you did my boss over did implement the glove. you are the future of this country. would you lose that? teaching you, it's getting you and having you taking a thick, tulsa, that is the promise over the future. the pupils take their mission seriously.

they're assuming responsibility for the environment by preserving its plants and animals. gumbo co, our mandate, and these environmental clubs is to be right on the front line for environmental protection. it's unacceptable for people who am their varman, to be left to their own devices. they must be shown the right way of reporter to the authorities. if they refuse to change your attitude, arca allow that a coin years with the teachers with more than $400.00 people per square kilometer. rwanda's population density is very high. so folks keep encroaching on nature. so on weekends, school groups visit villages to spread their message. careful, wild animals don't set traps or chopped down cheese. often they propose a treat. villages can receive farm animals in exchange for giving upon tim when i

get them on the i used to hunt antelope and eat them with my family with but through this awareness sunday, opportunities offered to was, i've stopped coaching since we've been given domestic animals. this no need to hunt in the park. i couldn't just several of you and as 30 districts take part in the environmental club project, but that couldn't change you to make up some 2 thirds of the country's population. so the help is key to preserve the species diversity. now over to south africa, a one man short in harry is putting the environment centers eat. in the theater piece, an act of mun, irene divina is forced to examine past traditions and future events. to come to terms with his personal misfortunes and the impact of natural disasters. i could do no. i could

do no. good. ha, actor, send zonati, gives the suffering earth a voice with the actor uses carmody a drama to teach children about environmental protection. with the story, an act of man is about the life of a rainmaker who's lost his powers. i love that sad end up a time when i mask pant cheese and tell everybody to monkeys for the teachers the show was a welcome addition to the lessons in which they emphasized the importance of environmental protection. it is important to incorporate that into our um, an aspect and doing at performing ads performance because they understand it more

so it's out of their formal education in class send sonya, he's been involved with climate protection for a while now for his 2nd job as a farmer, he uses climate friendly farming methods on his own land. traditional noted systems late at all in the past years in that science ease playing a role now, but how best can we make these 2 especially containing issues of climate change to keep adults entertained at the topic as presented with a touch of humor. but it's quickly get serious. that is, that we have improving for either cindy or just it in your system and your brother coming and says though, has definitely made an impression. we are happy that we have poked people that you able to know how and we are hoping that by poking them instead of them doing

a lot of discussions, there would be more actually not around issues of climate change. then. so has taken his performance around him, bob way, and if he's able to acquire more funding, you'll keep spreading the message. hops. that's just what we need, looking at the issue of climate change from different perspectives. well ladies and gentlemen, that's it for this week. today's show focused on one of the biggest split for our planet. but as we saw, there is plenty of will power, innovative solutions and varying perspectives. all the elements are there and i'm sutton, the 77 percent as we'll see it through. so go to your puts and do write to us on facebook, instagram, and youtube. you can also drop me an email at 77 at b, w dot com and tell us what you've done. thanks for staying with me until this
