Those were the headlines and back with more news in half an hour here on next its inside story do stay with us. 5 years since the paris climate agreement on it is growing faster than ever thats around the world people are taking action so could the pandemic get a new chance to tackle the Climate Crisis this is inside story i. I. I. I. I i follow im a mans apparel and welcome to a special edition of inside story in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Program the paris climate agreement was born 5 years ago while it leaders pledged to cut Carbon Emissions and stop Global Temperatures rising by least 2 and ideally 1. 5 degrees celsius above preindustrial levels but instead of changing course the last 5 years have been the warmest on record wildfires heat waves floods and melting icecaps all point to top in crisis i could not tell habitats to straw aids disease outbreaks such as corona virus pandemic courage become more common but despite the gloom there is hope every year the un recognizes people who lead by example into hunting the planet around the champions of the earth this year include the Prime Minister of fiji the 1st country to ratify the Paris Agreement and then to activist who pushed against drilling in the ecuadorian ahmanson a farmer who modified traditional techniques to stop the certification and the sahara out and a man who spent his life fighting environmental injustice in the United States. With the usa expected to be back in the climate fall and china committing to long term emissions reduction targets we are hopeful that the global momentum production in Greenhouse Gas emissions can really regret it and made even more ambitious Everything Else would be meaningless if there could be in this economy flea market so we must put some of the new in this time of this 3 and a nicer planet Brisson Mistral putting c. P. I. Is siggy more respect than of a silver. You know well for some time. Before cold in 1000. 00 commuters a car were inundated with all kinds of environmental hazards and disparities over 1000. 00 brought to the service the underbelly of what Systemic Risk ism is doing we have to pandemics and thats happening at the same time the cold pandemic and that hand image of racism and they both must be attacked at the same time. Lets bring in our guests in copenhagen in says executive director of the United Nations Environment Program and we have to recipients of the uns champions of the earth award in berlin is dr fabian lee into his as you noted disease specialist and group leader at the robert Cox Institute in boston is mental and environmental entrepreneur and c. Series a nonprofit Sustainability Advocacy Organization a warm welcome to you all thank you for being here and id like to start with you so fighting talk and action from the champions in the video just then but what where was the Paris Agreements we thought of Carbon Neutrality from around 130 countries now and still the science of saying that were heading for 3 to 3 world so is there room for hope from the person or is it a lot of hot air. Oh no its not a lot of hot air its absolutely essential that we meet its goals anything else would be impossible to contemplate but look lets look at it this way if we just do what we promised in what is called the nationally determined contribution these promissory notes that each country has submitted well yes then yes we will by the end of 2103 degrees over 3. 00. But with a net 0 commitments and come in well were beginning to shave off a little bit we have 51 percent of all emissions have come in and made this met 0 that they will reach that 0 commit emissions 5202050 that should get us to iraq 2. 00 degrees were still not there but then we would like to see obviously the others come in plus right now we are literally pumping trillions of dollars into our economy to restart post pandemic so the question before us is do we want to push that public money which we have boring from the future make no mistake into a broken planet on we want to use this to restart with a cleaner Greener Planet and thats why i will not again i hope have so much public money going into into the private sector into businesses which is a good thing we want to restart our economy lets make some green Strings Attached lets make sure the disc goes to and with conditions on company use that can can reduce emissions and lets go for Renewable Energy and all of these Infrastructure Investments that are being approved across parliaments across the world so we can get there and actually with the stimulus packages being approved driton now we have an opportunity to make it our of our calculations my last point show us that if we use what we project in terms of stimulus packages still to come if we use this in climate positive. We can hit 2 degrees and were within a fighting chance of 1. 5 mindy where do you stand on this because are you as hopeful and you were there at the Paris Agreement wont you help to catalyze the necessary business support to to get the Paris Agreement across the finishing line so so thinking back to 5 years ago are you hopeful that we could turn this around. Im not only hopeful and i am and ill talk about why thats the case but it has to be the way we think about our future somehow issues like Climate Change have become things that some people support others they become political what were talking back here is our childrens future every person i know who has a child a niece and nephew certainly i have 2 children theyre grown now we would throw ourselves in front of the bus if it were coming out our children that thats what we do and it did it wouldnt matter what political background we have or what country youre from right now were looking at a challenge and a threat that is like a quest that works well and weve got to bring come together for country in all parts of the world and all term political persuasions to stop that bus but i think we can and i think we can for the solid reasons one is the Paris Agreement is far on its powerful and when the United States back in and we are back in thats the good news with the change of administration we have the entire world focused tama sheridans are going to go and i think we can meet it the other reasons im optimistic is ive spent the last 5 years while the United States that backed out that over the last 3 and a half years working to move Capital Markets leading businesses leaving investors they now understand and theyve been at it for a long time as well that this is a problem that affects our economy as well as of course our humanity our children our families and theyre acting so it is not people just waiting for government its hundreds and hundreds of companies st we will get to net 0 by 25th day if not earlier and were now expecting that the 20 to 40 and now the Investor Community people are making commitments as recently as this week that they too will get. And its so i think we have to be hopeful i am hopeful based on what im seeing but it will not be easing weve got to move at a pace and a scale but its entirely different than what weve seen before us moving slowly is the same as not doing anything climate isnt big enough problem that weve got to keep moving it quickly the less we act now the further the problem grows so it is time and im delighted that the u. S. Is backing and of course the planets not going to respond say pledges and promises talk to fabian whats your view of the situation as a scientist. Well obviously things are interconnected right so we have the climate which and impacts the environment and people directly and animals so if you have intact and vironment you obviously also have a much better chance to reduce the risk of disease transmission from different kinds of animals to humans to keep them at the places where they belong so there are all these interconnections right by cutting the forests also act again affect the climate and that again affects the disease threats so we have to recognize that there is not one problem there are several problems to tech to that the same time so we have the environment the human health and the any mode how closely into connected and this is actually nice because we can make use of the different approaches to reach the same goal so this is what we call the one Health Approach and this is what were fighting for and anger can you tell us a bit more about what it what is the one Health Approach. So what were really looking for and desist part of the important work and why we are really were making to support at this time to to dr fay been under its is to understand that if you like planets or e health natures health. Is connected to retin or a healthy Animal Health is connected to human health to yours and my health and often we have not really understood we build our hospitals we have our ministries of health what have you and we go to the doctor and we consider that that is completely separate from how as a planet doing but the thing here is that we need to understand it were seeing these zone gnosis east diseases that emerge in nature is often transmitted through wild animals are and then perhaps to a domesticated or illegally traded animal what have you onto humans were not really fully understanding that that that is and the incidence of snow says has increased tremendously and that as we illegally trade more and more as we fragment and destroy natural ecosystems and and fragment them well then these ecosystems get under stress so the one health means that we need to understand that we have to Work Together on the planetary dimensions making sure our ecosystems are healthy if you like animal dimensions making sure both domesticated and wild animals are healthy and understanding that it seizes which is of course where dr lenders has been doing a phenomenal work and ensuring that we our human health is taken care of we recently and United Nations Environment Program signed a and m. Or you with our friends in w. H. O. The World Health Organization our friends in f. A. O. The food and Agriculture Organization and the organization or why you that deal. As with Animal Health this is critical and its not new unfortunately at this is been on the agenda for many years but countries havent quite understood it because it seems so farfetched but what do i have to do what does my health have to do with that of an ecosystem but in fact as we heard from dr len just everything is connected to everything and it is important that we begin to understand those into connect and deal with them. And mindy what are you saying from the Business Community because if that if not there is an understanding that everything is so interconnected but but still i mean in that post pandemic stimulus funds the government says still putting 50 percent more money towards fossil fuels at rather than 70. 00 ople energy how can the how can we explain that well its a good question and no respondent to my colleagues since your question if it was one thing we learned from codes it it is one where our World Community and 2 if has shaken our system a system of human health we are seeing that some like anything weve ever wanted or mansion and it has shaken our economy and i hope we are smart enough as a World Community to learn from that that one set of circumstances and of course its not one but the start was one that comes that has rocked our economic or personal or humane or planetary ecosystem in ways that we never could have imagined and were also excellent doesnt really matter who are in venezuela or brazil or china or the u. S. Were all suffering mightily both and with moment and a fundamental human level. The reality is climate will be worse and its already starting to be the shake to our system in terms of our economy our health our humanity will be far worse so the need to understand where were living in and we are living that together and to what climate will bring upon this is really crucial we know we should have acted earlier on code. And we know we have to act now sooner rather than later at extraordinarily increased efforts to deal with Climate Change and i think the key is we are all understanding that there are people critically disagree with the science but overall our opinion leaders our public our students our young people who are in the streets calling for change and demanding more from all of us businesses are seeing the impact on their economy think about if youre an Insurance Company you need paid out billions and billions of dollars this year alone from storm damage from wildfires climbed this upon us and thought leaders understand that and are starting to act so it is true we havent moved to office misleaders or all of the public but we need to do that through facts through science and also through fear were all fearful of what might come next and so can we move this stimulus package and i couldnt agree more that ists and should be a key focus for all of us we will likely see. Somewhere between 5. 10 trillion dollars thats trillion with a t. Not billiards. Moving it to remain as adequate some call it build back better some see theres a stimulus package some see it as an infrastructure bill but thats more money being pumped into our economy globally than we have seen in our lifetimes and it gives us 2 options we either stay the course and use it in the re we aris have and stay in a fossil fuel economy which will do a stand or we use this enormously important opportunity to make sure that a good deal of those trillions of dollars go into building our economy in a healthier safer way but in a way thats more equitable thats just and there are specific examples its not just words there are cement there are steel there are products that we could use that are less than a minute lets not go there for new rate every new press station every hospital with those old products that are hugely admitting lets use it with different steel with different cement. Lets not only bill clinton raised to the suburbs lets build mass transit in our inner cities where people need more Transportation Options lets build out new Energy Systems that are decentralized where people locally have more say and lets do job training to make sure that were ready for the new economy and bring in also ksan the economy not just the traditional people who have benefited from it you know sometimes we talk about an opportunity in the future i think that opportunity is now this minute and we will focus on that money or it will move past us very quickly so when were given the opportunity of trillions of dollars of new money being invented literally print it because its money that didnt exist in our treasuries and run specked countries are all doing it lets find a way to be smart to be capable that come together and make sure we use this unique and once the lights return a date to build back better anger in the recent emissions gap report your Research Found that fossil fuel production has to the klein 6 percent pay yeah for the next 10 years but actually were on track for an average annual increase of 2 percent so as mindy says the time is now but yet the actions of countries around the world doesnt reflect now its full. No i mean well 1st of all you know yes we saw a dip in 2020 we shouldnt attach too much importance to that defect from a carbon perspective thats because the solution is obviously not to lock humanity up and have 1100000000. 00 children out of school so once we saw a dip in 2020 of 70 percent in terms of our emissions we are seeing a year on year increase by around as you say 2 percent that then leads to precisely in the wrong direction so we need to if we want to have a chance of hitting 2 degrees we need to shave off significantly of our our our Company Emissions and if we want 1. 00 is around 7. 6 percent we said last year reduction year on year but here is the thing with now the net 0 commitments which have come in and youve seen from korea from south africa from japan from the e. U. As well as from china net 0 before 2060 and we assume when biden when biden the president elect takes office he said on the 1st day he will rejoin paris and we assume that they will also make a net 0 by 2050 commitment if that that will take us to 63 percent of all emissions that begins us to get us somewhere as i said if we include the u. S. We would be reducing and hitting 2. 00 degrees more or less if wed then expand that commitment to those g. 20 especially big g. 20 countries the g 20 in him its about 78 percent of all the emissions of just those 10 to 20 countries nearly 80 percent of all emissions and they are is a story as well as a present responsibility so getting them inside is what we need. But within that 0 commitments we are seeing something that is happening now what we are calling for and this is what we will be hearing today in the Climate Summit is we want to see dont plan this in 2049 because that would be too late you have to submit each country has to submit what is called a national or determined contribution to camp 26. 00 that will take place next yank lascaux where they are. Detail the plans for how what are you going to do in 2022 what are you going to do in 2023 and on and each 5 years we want to take stock thats under the Paris Agreement and see how were doing and stretch ambition thats the only way we can get the good news is if we compared to the n. B. C. s National Term contributions that were submitted in paris 5 years ago to where we are today ambition has been stretched so were beginning to make that headway with the trillions going into stimulus now is the time and as mindy said so eloquently we cant borrow its always children who will be paying these debts that we are taking now in terms of bonds and cetera et cetera we cant leave the kids to the next generation folks with a debt as well as with a broken absolutely but what about individuals in general this is the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement its also speaking to terry champion sara i mean what is the weve been talking about government and business but what is the role of individuals in this what role can they play in being part of the solution in the emissions gap report to which you referenced we show that 2 thirds 2 thirds of all emissions are linked to private homes households so when people say well its hopeless what can i do know you can do everything because to so its very emissions are linked to private households to on will belittle to how we move about by air by sea and by land including the food we eat because thats often transported from far away places with a heavy Carbon Footprint and its linked to our residential how many square feet of square meters do it does each person needs and its into the food we eat but dr faber my other individual if things stories arent about other things that individuals can do to prevent pandemics as well. I totally agree that every individual can do a lot and that is not always linked directly to emerging diseases but to climate to habitat and to what we are using at home what we are eating where the food comes from i mean people are eating much more stuff which coming from other countries now than we used to write so remember their local food we have these kinds of things and and that will impact also health indirectly the other thing is obviously that that you can just buy the normal things like hygiene how do you store your food and how how do you do your live basically in your day to day life already also reduce risk here i mean the important thing is that we are an enormously large human population theres no species as the mean and as we are and we are not different populations we are one big population around the world right so if a virus makes a jumps into a population it will spread around the building very quickly so we have to be extremely and even more sensitive to about these issues than we used to be 20 or 100 years ago so we are really on the rise with a lot species still and this is creating from an Infectious Disease point of view an enormous risk so this is an additional layer. To consider when you think about the risk taking by changing the environment on how we intrude in the last forest and how we live our environment in general. So irresponsible for a lot on a and therefore its as i as the champion show it really is within our hands baled to do something about it all thanks to all our guests and anderson talked to fame did lean and mean and thank you too for watching this special episode in collaboration with the uns Environment Program you can see the program again any time by visiting our website aljazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our Facebook Page thats facebook dot com forward slash a.
