6:00 pm
the success of the dunk bass can demonstrate it. the read all means to be and so i will from 1943 until the capture russian troops itself, the the yeah, watching why is and why in this country. what if i give birth special in order for not imagine just in eunice, solving gas, the name of the city of con, units is palm. do i use roll have died as a data needs initial invasion in the north of the region. it's on top of the, it's inevitable of that well, the nation's corporations would have to pay for climate destruction on the planets . find out why a go to the ground. next. age of debates throughout the next fortnight about the
6:01 pm
use of common amazing military attacks, dispose of thousands of children, as we've seen in this region in the past few weeks, facilitated by cop to attendees. the usa, you can, the, you will who best as it goes. you've been, well, yes, this is enrollment which they use the same as 2 point one damage front. it's clear that we need a fund that will draw from, you know, rich people from corporations that are producing greenhouse gases and to pay for the home that they causing to, to pull communities. and yet, what have they care about the environment? yes. hello, this is eliza, great sierra of this sort of amazing break, you know, people coming together to make it sound like to doing the right thing. but clearly with quite concerned about the issue of green washing and you know, signing the right crisis down to the blinking is half
6:02 pm
a cop representing the united states. when he was here in the me least, the other day it seems like he was urging more oil production inside the radio. he was saying, come on, you're going to put up with using more oil inside the rape. you said no, originally soon act from britain. yes. it seems contradictory to the whole purpose of this climate change caught that they're asking for more production of fossil fuels. uh, you know, when, where you are in serious need of all countries to reduce their alliance on fossil fuels, when not on track 28 haul. but they won't be any mention we'll, they're about evidence that the bible attacks the north stream pipeline supplying germany, resulting in the largest man made, maintain emission event in all human history. and now of course techs and l. n. g fact in texas, it is now appearing on the shores of western europe since the last since called the well, the problem,
6:03 pm
if you all of the special or opportunity you can comment on north stream. i know we have to wait for the investigation. it's ongoing. isn't that the point that you know, that hasn't been conclusive evidence of this. who could cause that, that explosion. so it's difficult for me to comment on that and yeah, but i mean, had a meeting like this, a military emissions even going to be talked about. according to the cost of all project, $760000000.00 pentagon budget equates the $51000000.00 tons of c o. 2 more than most countries at the emissions from the united states. uh, well, the military is of the world is larger than just the c o. 2 emissions from russia be the, is the military going to be up for debate to the top? 28th or just don't really care about the secretive emissions that are clearly that more important than the bcc ever seems to understand. yes, well, i mean,
6:04 pm
it is a concern that the military across the globe is, is uh, creating significant greenhouse gas emissions. and as in discussions with them, civil society organizations today expressing concern about this actual issue of, you know, the emissions from the military across the glove having, you know, seemingly accountable to their mission. so this is a great concern. i mean, we can hear you signed a letter and opposing the policy of nato nations as regards gaza, which the soul region and the whole global south is focused on the ledge garza genocide. why is it that you uh, as part of your rebate, presumably about losing emissions of all of these wall plains, from israel and the on by the u. k. u, as in the you nation bombing and killing thousands of children and gaza there at admissions and their human rights that have some sort of a bulk of say,
6:05 pm
also to not cool for a cease fire. well also saying one's green at golf 28 this year. well, i mean not, i don't assign writing in this, in this, of this more. so it's a, it's a serious concern. and of course, you know, in, in all the, uh, you know, the, the was that we're seeing going on at the moment. there are a lot of greenhouse gas emissions associated with this and, and this is one of the emissions and the military doesn't seem to be accountable for this job. i didn't find a blank check for it. do you think your last or that use a co sign means that's the reason why joe biden, after appearing in previous cops, hasn't bothered to develop into by this year. well i, i can't answer for why he's not sure or not, you know, uh, but you know, it's certainly an issue. you know,
6:06 pm
that one of the biggest greenhouse gas produces in the world is not, you know, represented by the head of state. do you have any idea why he didn't bother to donna? no, i, i had no idea why he decided not to, to, i mean, clearly the whole international community against european union britain in the united states supports a ceasefire in gaza. you know that uh, were being uh, talking to that i think let me israel said that they're not being cognitive well or not my, my concern was the human rights violations from both sides. you know, with people have been killed on both sides. you know, in israel and 1000 and that was our concern for suicide cessation of hostilities. so it, it's, uh, you know, we think this is the face by right. if you're calling for i say it's 5. yes. which, which uh, $35.00,
6:07 pm
both sides. yeah. which the united states absolutely has not called for, nor as any uh, mid the ledge, genocide, aimless hochstein, while thousands of children were being slaughtered in gaza. he said this is a energy, i mean, i don't know whether that's a climate advises, is it? highland gas advisor full of a texas energy man to uh, to the me least to, to is there a lot uh, is there an energy klein with aspect to gaza. mike, as soon as the sort of broader issue of climate change impacts globally and, and the amount of emissions that are being produced by industry across the globe. and i, i prefer not to sort of narrow it down to the guys the situation because that, you know, they're much greater emissions occurring outside of that region. and so that's why i'm here to talk about the global problem of climate change and, and trying to get all countries to reduce that greenhouse gases. but clearly,
6:08 pm
if you're sending a mass of aircraft carriers into south china sea are sort of spending millions of dollars where the weapons into ukraine. you're sending billions of dollars a weapons to israel. i mean, clearly their environmental concerns whilst we hear sweet woods for events in a blinking some house and do by yes. but, you know, as i saying, i mean, i, i would prefer not to just narrow it down to this issue because, you know, able to, before they said install hostilities color. i said, we still have a numerous amount of emissions being a good by major economies across the globe. and this is my concern is, is you know, how to address this issue of the major economies across the globe. and that's, that includes john or russia, united states, united kingdom, european union are all producing greenhouse gases that are, you know,
6:09 pm
a concern and, and these are on a basis. and we need to, you know, pull in these emissions because we can see people across the crowd suffering as a consequence. we only have to look at the floods that are just occurred and says it's um, uh you know, the long drought, the people who lived in some, you know, been living in somalia and now suffering droughts. lodge floods. you know, there's a common trend around the globe that we see these long periods of drought when people are dying as a consequence of climate change and, and then suffering floods. so this is a global concerned that i'm worried about and it's affecting people across the globe. the un special orbiter. i'll stop you that small from you in special replica on climate change in human rights after this break, the
6:10 pm
the quintessential foreign policy did. and yes, so one of the greatest mass murderers in history kissinger might have been bolt and much more because death was not on timely with his legacy. still, hans, us, in many ways he initiated some of the worst aspects of american foreign policy. the show room just don't have to shape out the application and engagement trails. when so many find themselves will support we choose to look for common ground, the the,
6:11 pm
the welcome back to going underground. i'm still here with you and special repertoire and climate change in human rights talk to in for i a special or i'm going to, we were talking about the militarism and the fact that it is not just militarism. obviously, that's a the context of climate negotiations here. in do by for comp 28. so you did say that ukraine was complicating things what, why was the conflict in ukraine complicating environmental measures?
6:12 pm
well, i'm, i'm not sure i've ever said that. i mean, clearly there is no issues and conflicts across the blood that uh, you know, a serious issues and you know, their emotions associated with those. but there are a lot of other sources admissions as well. of course, of course. and i, i should actually ask you about recent trends in what's happening in the world that weren't happening and 1227, or what have you made of scientific literature that says plants that application to climate change is a reason for optimism and that the climate modeling was not expecting how quickly plans seem to be able to adapt to the woman climate and also new research. and it's very keyed. do you think some of the modeling will have to change and give us a few more years than the seemingly applicable applicable uptake. a full cost being made last time as well. i,
6:13 pm
i'm not convinced by that. i mean that's certainly you know, uh, plants are growing quicker and absorbing more time dockside but how long i can hold onto that. carbon dioxide is an issue and there's other research which suggests that because of the high temperatures, plants are aspiring more and producing more carbon dioxide so that there are certain serious issues do on that end. particularly, you know, the issue of the absorption of carbon dioxide in the oceans, which is causing the oceans to warm up. and, you know, we're saying most of the weather events. so i don't think we're seeing any sort of lessening of the climate change issue. uh, it seems to be getting worse and was experiencing, you know, more severe events. and in fact, just last month it was the highest average temperature across the globe that has ever been recorded in history. and that's, that was, you know,
6:14 pm
on an average across the glove, 2 degrees above pre industrial levels. so we've already, you know, so no, no, not in history. obviously. yeah. i yeah. in human history. yes. you know, in recorded history since, since it's reco, it's been, yeah, i mean, this is always been a problem from those who doubted that the climate was changing until the ice coordinator wasn't it. because if you just say, gosh, this was the heart of yeah. on record, in terms of the history of the world, clearly it doesn't, doesn't actually, it may mean that bunch well, i mean, you know, records do go back quite a long way. so they go back only like the tiny percentage of the, the history of yes, but as far as you know, it's clear that you know, since the industrial revolution, the amount of comm, dockside has increased napa shifts,
6:15 pm
and global temperatures have increased quite dramatically. and this is unprecedented. well obviously, well lead is west and europe in the united states don't share your pessimism as they see the ever increasing amounts of drilling for fossil fuels and exploitation of resources. and not only that, people who think like you do special rubble to all our reading up interest and give the longest sentences, what have you made given us, measurable to fully environment and for human rights? what is being happening say in britain to the just a boil, protest is getting incredibly long sentences for their activism. what is going on in western europe as regards people who are as concerned as you are about the environment? yes, it's like the right to the government about this issue uh, expressing my concern about the sentences level that these are climate change prior testers, you know, it affects you know, it, it's set set to sort of chilling,
6:16 pm
you know, a response that we're seeing a clamp down on the right to protest. and i was quite concerned about that. in fact, you know, right, a lizard, you know, 2 months ago to the u. k. government, i have not had a response. and this is quite disturbing that uh, you know, the, the right to protest against climate change is being climbed down on people's, you know, have the right to express concern about the future, particularly young people. you know, because there is a concern about the future of young people and that they should be had the right to protest. right. so as antonio gutierrez spells out issues right? clearly, the kid, the bad past me by these young protest is in west and european capitals, including loans and the british government. no one from the british government, which is the next government has replied to you in special rapid here on the environment when you are expressing concerns about freedom of expression. this,
6:17 pm
this is the concern. busy that this seems to be an issue that the u. k. government is ignoring the is expressions of concern and, and, and it's traveling that people dont have the right to protest and particularly around climate change because it is such a serious issue. maybe you can call her him here in here and do by, but uh, do you expect that will actually uh, that ominous sign of uh, clamp downs on freedom of expression. and those protesting for the environment is a sign of the times as these countries are going to be reverse, previous climate commitments. yeah, it's a, it's a wiring trend across the glove that we're seeing and clamped down on on people expressing the right to to protest against inaction on climate change. and it is a wiring trend across the globe and your expect burgeoning environmental litigation
6:18 pm
to prevent democratically elected governments from legislating in effect for the environment and protecting the planet. well i, you know, i did a review of tar and to litigation. internet was my report to do in general assembly in october, instead of looking at the trends. and i, i think there will be a growing amount of litigation against corporations from, from across the globe full there in action on the encounter. there's a geisha, sorry, and counter litigation by those multi 1000000000 dollar corporation where this thing, what's called a slab suits, you know, with counter litigation is applied to people who are not protesting against climate change action and taking the litigation. so we're seeing also these calculated litigation issues as well as to what it would can be done given that
6:19 pm
they clearly have have the year off some parts of the nature nation main stream. so called media when it comes to the environment, they're going to litigate against democratically accountable governments trying to help the climates. i mean, the can something be done to break these global energy companies because it's clear what they want to submit. well, you know, i, i think, you know, they're just going to be held accountable and, and what we're seeing is where we're seeing litigation moved from, you know, of, you know, cases against governments to cases against corporations. and you know, more recently with thing litigation against a corporate boards, and i think this is with, i'll start to get nervous if actually, board members are, you know, brought before thoughts. and hilda cannibals for the actions of the companies and
6:20 pm
you know, the emissions and how they're doing. i mean, you've seen what's happening to whistle blowers and those trying to publish secret to memos within big us corporations. about the, the strategies of the these a multi $1000000000.00 outfits trying to prevent comp, $28.00 style changes. i mean a, it's getting worse, isn't it? still getting better? no. yeah, it's, it's, it is getting worse. and this is the problem where we're seeing this is a resistance by magic corporations to taking strong action. i mean, that has been moved by the bottom as administration to develop environmental and social governance rules and the, your opinion of bringing those and that by the, you know, potentially positive steps towards making corporations more accountable for their activities. but will this reminds to be saying whether they will promptly report on
6:21 pm
that what they're doing and what impacts to their action. so having, you probably get a big mailbag older ready, but so people can write to you if they feel that human rights are threatened because of that concern. with the issues raised a comp 28 in the corporations. they working anywhere in the world that yes and in fact uh, yeah, my next report to the human rights council will be around in a corporate accountability. and i put out a call for people to, to ride to my right to me, to uh, you know, express, uh, you know, give me evidence of where corporations are affecting their rods. you know, in the context of climate change. i know you made headlines in the philippines about the low against the communists in the, in the philippines on your recent visit. lot of news amidst the golf 28 conference whilst of course gaza focuses the minds of, of this region given is really ministers that these rails just start using nuclear
6:22 pm
weapons and gaza. do you don't think the environmental threat now most depressing one is the threat of nuclear war. not the threat of c o 2 in me. same or no i yeah. well, obviously nuclear weapons is a, is a great start and it's been around for a long time. i think the greatest right is climate change and, and the lack of action of dealing with climate change because it's going to have a long term consequences, you know, ecological. and she gave an impact. so will the poor face all the, all the challenges and the ritual have bunkers to live in and they're yours. and the pool will be told the recycling little bit more. and you were in the philippines. i mean, the pool or the philippines will have it even tougher time, while new american for new american bases will be built at a norm. is environmental cost. well, you know,
6:23 pm
it's not just us. prices are being built in our we're saying military build ups or across the globe. so they, they, these are issues, you know, global issues. but, you know, particularly the grice in the, you know, use of fossil fuels across the world is, is a serious concern. and we, we have to deal with those issues and some, well.
