this is the issue with a wide range of projects with pico africa. in 60 minutes on d. w. a uses to thought they were great, it will be hello, my fellows of in 70 percent says it's time for your favorite magazine show the 77 percent. i am wendy camara and we're about to take you. fluoride fussed and you see coming up on the show, we caught up with some 77 percent of the northern kenya to find out how they feel.

hold clarity. we take a closer look at how climate change is impacting their all african huntington and in who and our special project is helping prepare and m our, the next generation of environmental. after years of severe drought, the situation in northern kanga is desperate. animals or di fields have dried up and people have little to eat from november 2021 to august 2022. the number of hungry people in east africa has increased sharply by 193 per cent in care alone, according to the i r c. but this we john isn't the only one battling this horrific conditions. nigeria, near chad and the surrounding region, were only recently swamped by heavy rains and flooding between june and october

this year. and in recent years, more and more parts of northern africa are also witnessing the extreme effect of climate change. water is life. when the source in local toner, milas really trend dry. she had no choice but to relocate. now she and her neighbors have re settled in katy law. they rebuilt her, hurt near a well, but they need more than water to survive. la la la la la la la la la, la la ma'am, and everything is empty though. i really have nothing to eat it, it's empty. and you with gun the last 5 days and i didn't have anything to ella, 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 don't wanna, ya know, rainfall has decreased by more than 2 thirds in the past 6 months. and with

a 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 in every day reality. 3 days ago, there was conflicts to web the, the communities while fighting over pastor alone the sort. and as you can see, the area of this drought on saw the how to crossover in such a fossa for their animals, so that it comes along with our conflicts each and every time that these drought in these, the region some n g o's, are active in the region, but they're not able to help everyone. the woeful program says he needs more than 40000000 dollars in emergency 8,

and that is just to help the hardest hit communities local turn. a marla in this group of foreman, 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 the might to a group of some very insightful young canyons into cana county. edith can money

over to you. hello and welcome back to the 77 percent in his 1st inaugural international address . kenneth president william brutal vowed that climate change would be central to this government. while we're here in through cana, in the north of kenya, to find out what challenges lay ahead of him for this from is, 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 i didn't see me or in area and the communities 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 or now bore holes or that is for irrigation. and when we have a extreme with the conditions, that means that the water levels also go down. well, thank you so much for that summary and i want to come now to a momma here who lives in this area. she's a native took on a woman, and i just want to find out from you mama, what have you seen changing over the years? i'm on burial owen kinney, we've been having a serious drought that has killed our livestock up all. our people are now hungry, especially i women and children. donnelly were only living by grace. of course, he, me, they're gonna come up. i think i'll go lumbering. kenya lincoln. so drought is obviously a front and center issue here. and you can see that he is already having real consequences. this, by the way, being the 5th consecutive failed rainy season. that this region of the great han 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 says don't worry up to now. we've got experience in the rain. so the 0 to crane are in 4 in putting 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 harsh, i think are, 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, order k new because i did that aspect to find security also. okay. 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 are possible is moving from china across the border to going to a place called cupboard in such for posture. so when the, when the you, when, when the other community, it's gonna community, now there is moving, that is moving to, to their place inside for poster. it creates a situation where, where by the they want to, we're the ones. what are the animals the want posture away? the sim community also wants to see him. so let me come back her to mom i here 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, la mooney wrong, veronica, when we get water from far away, whether not this village has no water. we fetched 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 took while river. yeah, only there the land of the not going my the gunny. ah, i old like the wagon. oh yeah. i thought the dog of 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. the debate on climate change, sometimes i say it's a professionally bit that only serves the needs of a few clinical people or, or aims to gain and profit from this claim of the 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 sitting at the back then maybe you can help me. ah, can they remember the last time a local leader came a sat be them about climate change? if they can remember, just raise their hands. who would honor the mob? no, no. oh there she actually looks disgusted, 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 mottos group clements into the senior from 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 occurred resilience to ensure people are getting water. we are the program saw and improve improvement of briefs. so about re come of climate resilient breeds intercom, county and so many other innovation, 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 plan. but also we have over 1000 boards as director,

had mentioned dealing of boyhood is a huge, huge investment because you have to drill, you have to equip entities. so said that so many of these were 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 responses? 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 is to, to move this discussion about from new york or divorce of brussels. these are, is a very big debate to the pasta release 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 out 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, its no secret that africa is a continent with, pardon me, not the 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 he's or hobbit to make sure that the mother of so wise for all of us, from drought 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 productivity growth in west africa has fallen by about 34 percent. more than any other region in the world. over the past 50 years, jobs related has its, have claimed the lives but a half a 1000000 people across the continent. entry good, $70000000000.00 and 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. 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 hit 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 target to reduce greenhouse gas emission. is that enough? are you happy with it? what do i 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 to as an issue which has been substantially talked about across the globe. young people are 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 us as a training center, as well as the startup 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 the founders and find out how the campus is paving the way for a ton of tea. lively, who in, in the north of kenya, a stone's throw away from the world's largest, as a lake lake to cannot live the learning. lions tech hub in the region known for its

harsh environment and where most communities are depend on their livestock. the hub offers new opportunities. it's an ice city hap, we're based in them of 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 booking novice docutech frances carry, the ip campus stands out in the landscape that otherwise has little infrastructure built using locally post materials, it's adapted to it surrounding the campus itself as both training, sometimes 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 the, the 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, she teaches managers the school and farming projects and runs her own business, selling traditional took on a craft. my interest was creating and marketing to kind of products. because i feel like going, i was not really well presented of lived in villages in aunties and me with my family. and i see the kind of walk into the kind of utilizing the competence 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 boxing on their venture. so i think right now we need to change the

mentality of going to school, trying to land and 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 laptop, you can walk anywhere in this world. you can be a digital norman. with that startup, they've even managed to make us more profit. self reliance is another key value of the hub. but unlike the start up for learning, lyons still received funding from abroad prism and his team have our ever launched their own game changing projects like producing chicken feed 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 per trinity's . and some former students like marine, have bought into the vision for 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 landlord, eastern african country, to boost environmental awareness, see and wonder biodiversity conservation organization has launch a project for young people, aka the future caretakers of the regents pristine forests. it is aimed at students in schools 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 pulled peaceful coexistence between people and their fellow creatures who up to protect the environment and in the you. but as the, when you find in many more in the community, you can advocate 40 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 love on immune good, national hon. that is a treasure. truthful biological diversity. the 1068 plant species have been counted here, and many of these grasses and trees unfound in any of the forests or parks. you wonder what as much of the greenery that's unique. the park is home to 322 species of birds and making it a great spot for bird watching bucket school. they learn more about what they've seen. this project is part of the rwandan government initiative into you guys. you did me back over, did implement the glove you are the future of this country. would you move that teaching you educating you in the hub? bring you taking a deep tulsa, that is the promise over the future. the pupils take their mission seriously.

they're assuming responsibility for the environment my present when it's plants and animals gone. bo, 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, aka about 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. villagers can receive farm animals in exchange for giving up hunting when

i get them on, as i used to hunt antelope and eat them with my family. 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 could soon 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 sure in harry is putting the environment centers eat in the theater piece, an act of mun, irene divina is a 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 did.

no, good. ha, actor send zonati, gives the suffering earth a voice. with the actor uses comedy a drama to teach children about environmental protection with the story and act of man is about the life of a rainmaker who's lost his powers. i learned that se and end up a time when i met tant, she's and her, everybody to and keith, 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 an aspect and doing a performing ads performance, because they understand it more so it's out of their formal education in class

sense. so in your tea'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 nodded systems played a role 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 is presented with a touch of humor. but it quickly get serious is that we have improved for or the cindy or just it in your system and your prob, probably and said so has definitely made an impression. we are happy that we have talked before that he of the moral and we are hoping that by poking them instead of them doing a lot of discussions,

building more action around issues of climate change. and so has taken his performance around zimbabwe and if he's able to acquire more funding, you'll keep spreading the message. perhaps 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 threats 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 sat in the 77 percenters will see it through. so go to your pot and do right to us on facebook, instagram and youtube. you can also drop me an email at 77 at d, w dot com and tell us what you've done. thanks for staying with me until this point. for now, i leave you with a musical tree. here is mother nature, by angelic,
