News asia coming up today just help badly as the world failing when it comes to combating the climate. Emergency. Negotiators from almost 200 countries have convened in the gyptian resort town of sharm el shake for cop 27. Its unclear if theyll make any progress. All the talk wont address immediate problems any time soon, such as the permanently flooded towns across the philippines. As water levels continue to rise. Or the damage that pakistan is still recovering from climate related floods. Devastated parts of the country earlier this year, taking lives and livelihoods away. How much a rich countries willing to help. Ah, im melissa chan. Thanks for joining us. We as a planet are not cutting emissions fast enough. Are not meeting our climate goals as mapped out by the pairs agreement of 2016 and temperatures will rise to celsius or so by the start of next century. All of it can seem so abstract, but its already having an impact. Rising temperatures, impact weather systems and eventually mean rising sea levels combined that with Sinking Ground levels and that means coastal town submerged, including this one on the island of cell m bow in the philippines. Is the sound of waves work, the middle family up early flood waters into the home on the philippine island of salam bo more and more often these days with the childrens mother jeremy has decided that all 4 should go to School Including 6 year old just so the path a world has been raised several times over the years, but sea levels keep on rising. Beneath the water, there are dangerous concealed dips and hollows. Just a few meters from the school. It gets too deep for jer, cell. Some children even come by boat. The floor of the classroom is still on dry ground, but no one knows how long it will stay that way. 34 year old jeremy runs a small store from the front part of her house. This used to be the top floor they had to abandon the ground floor years ago. Along with their dreams. Everyone would like to move away, but how will we mean to make a living . People here at fishes. If we move to the mainland, things will be difficult. We dont know anything else. I had a blaze full big. 1500 people still live on solemn bow. Others have deserted their homes. You could call their former inhabitants climate refugees. 1 in the bay of manila, sea levels are rising twice as fast as the global average by 7 millimeters a year. At the same time, ground levels are sinking due to a construction boom and groundwater extraction. Large scale Land Reclamation projects are also making flooding worse than theirs. The impact of Climate Change according to environmental expert carlos de la cruz. The philippines have been in denial for too long the solution to our problems that have happened 20 years ago. I should have started 20 years ago because dealing with climate would require longer planning horizons. And right now we dont have that, that the, you know, we dont have the luxury of time. So now were in the philippines. Everything feels like an emergency. Everything feels like a crisis because they are everything said is against that. In the past, people often chose to settle by the coast attracted by the riches of the sea. Now, many are running the other way, like pakistan endured its worst flooding in decades if not a century earlier this year. Monsoon rains were compounded by melting glaciers because of rising temperatures. The flooding killed almost 2000 people left behind billions of dollars in damages and the country is still recovering from the effects of that disaster. Ha, jana collects the pieces of a life that once was the immense floods that hit pakistan, the samo destroyed everything in their path of hell. Hell, this was my house. Theres nothing left of it. You could you been a but youre millions of children to are displaced, are suffering from waterborne diseases. Of the water hasnt receded, even though its been months since the flooding. All of the farm land lies the submerged. A big problem for farmers domains erosion, garbage. We have no hope of going out of what we cant grow anything any more. Got it could be nothing the good. Theres no rice grain or other crops the season. No. Would you be in a loose, arent you . Similar sides can be seen all across pakistan. Even though the u. N. C is people here contribute very minimally to Climate Change. This discrepancy is on the agenda of the Climate Conference cop 27. Why Prime Minister shall sharif spoke on monday with hardwood, without center or funding to learn. When jim austin was needs some people say, hey, gina is lucky to have at least found a tenet to live on that. But looking at her broken heap of her home, she would perhaps hardly agree. And as pakistans foreign minister, a bill while boots are dari, told d w, the country needs more international help, particularly from rich countries. He underscored the disproportionate impact developing countries experience as a result of Climate Change. Its a question of justice that a country that produces a 0. 8 percent of the Global Carbon footprint, is the 8th most climate stress country on the planet, and is disproportionately affected by Climate Change. The 33000000 people are paying with their lives and their livelihoods, with the industrialization or richer countries. Therefore, this is a global problem of a group sort of global actions. We hope that it also has a global solutions, despite the incredible difficulties that everybody is facing at us. None of these problems will be resolved without the cooperation of the United States and china. Both countries are the worlds top emitters, but diplomatic relations between the 2 are at a low. Both say they are committed to fighting Climate Change. But china, for instance, continues to construct coal power plants across the country and is helping other countries do the same. For more we have isabel hilton, founder of China Dialogue joining us. Its and, and geo that looks at china and the environment. Isabel, i understand the chinese have brought a delegation of about 50 people to these meetings a while. The americans have about a little over a dozen. I guess my question is does size matter in this instance . Is this telling us beijing is more committed to the issue . I think it would be a pretty crude read across to say its more committed to the issue just because of the size of the delegation. China does traditionally st. Quite a lot of people. I guess the disappointment in both cases is that is the seniority of the delegation change in while chinas absolutely veteran climate negotiators is present. But its a vice minister whos actually leading the delegation on the other side. We have john kerry who is shady and was equivalent, and President Biden is actually coming unlike she can pin he, he didnt come for the, for the opening because as we know, there is a rather important political event going on at home, which will also affect the climate depending on how it turns out, but he is going to turn out. So i think actually what china has is a steady commitment since the beginning, though not always a very constructive one. Where is the United States comes in and out, depending on whats happening and domestic politics. And this is a perfect illustration of it. And are right now us china relations are not that great out. What does it mean when they have decided theyre not going to talk about Climate Change . Give us a sense of the consequences. Well, if we look back to the most successful cop ever, which was the periscope which laid the foundation of the, of the agreement of the, of the targets of everything that we are now discussing in char mosaic at that came about because she didnt pin and barack obama shook hands 2 years before the court, and they promised to Work Together to bring about a climate agreement. And thats really what happens when the United States and china Work Together when they dont Work Together, then things tend to break down because theyre taking up an antagonistic positions that not mobilizing others, they each have countries that they can bring along. If they, if they want to, and when they use that together, thats extremely powerful. Unfortunately, the we, we left 26 in glasgow with a modest agreement struck between church and wall. And john kerry that they would Work Together on a relatively limited program. But it was a really important signal, it was going to work on, for example, reducing me thing, which is a very damaging short term that greenhouse gas. But when nancy pelosi visited taiwan, the chinese pulled out of or suspended that agreement. So we have no formal framework in which the u. S. And china are working together. So all were left with is the hope that they can do a kind of virtuous competition. But corporation, as we heard of the opening of this call is far, far more productive. Now for this conference, or what are some of the specific goals china has set out . Or china as a goes, i think here a pretty defensive, you know, china is the worlds biggest emitter and has been since 2005 and it had, its not really bringing anything new to the table this time around. And in fact, if you look at whats happening in china with the set sectoral goals, for example, in the very important building industry, everything slipping a bit partly because of ukraine because of worried about Energy Security because of geopolitical tensions. So was china had promised that it would peak its own emissions . Well before 2030 this is now slipping. And all these little targets which add up to the big target are beginning to kind of nudge towards 2030 rather than well before 2030. So thats not very encouraging, and china has hasnt got anything you to put on the table. Unlike the United States, which has the inflation reduction act, which is a major piece of legislation wrong or both to a change in political circumstances in the United States. But very important, nevertheless. So china is keen to present itself as the leader of the emerging economies making demands for lawson damage on their behalf. Whilst hoping to avoid any claims for loss in damage against itself. And thats quite important. The other thing that china we need to watch china for is that china has never really accepted the 1. 5 degree target, which certainly, or the Vulnerable Countries feel, is absolutely essential. And china didnt like it when it was 1st her mooted in paris. And its never liked it, and its becoming more vocal now in, in resisting it. So i think that there is a real danger that china could succeed in, in essentially saying there is no credible pathway. Were beginning to hear that anyway. But if china says it, then were definitely not going to meet 1. 5. Isabel hilton, thank you so much for joining us. Thats all for today. Be sure to check us out on social media on twitter at w news.
