ALJAZ Inside Story 2019 Ep 272 July 14, 2024

Environmental campaigner who is following to continue the fight 2015 there was a proposed park plants to be built by the government and we asked the community we are really opposing because it has a lot of environmental degradation its going to cost a lot of pollution the sea pollution the air and the water pollution. This is the the site that the proposed plant is supposed to be built here. If you can see behind me this is where there is a sea here its only now that is too low tide but this area connects to the the deep sea and there are People Living here you can see their houses are there there are animals here there are people who have their farms and they come and cultivate their crops here. Our main concern is about the sea because theyre saying they will be dumping their waste from the land to the sea. The sea is the backbone of peoples will if you will be putting poison into the sea that means you will be polluting the sea and that means the feed and everything is said this is going to be killed there so thats our main concern and the other one is about theyre dumping the ash the ashes from the coal power plant when the dam pits into the land we have animals here we have people who are farmers it means when you are going to destroy the land then animals would no longer be there and the farmers can no longer do their farming activity so we have enough from kenya to the global perspective every week on planet as the west will be the level of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere and other big numbers to help us understand whats going on at the moment c o 2 levels are 408 parts per 1000000 thats 30 percent more than before the industrial era the average global temperature has gone up no point 9 degrees centigrade since the start of the 20th century and the level of optics sea ice has decreased for 12 months straight. Well despite these big and worrying figure is a Climate Summit early this week failed to deliver Game Changing pledges to slash Carbon Emissions World Leaders gathered at the United Nations and the head of the un and so on it gets harris them to offer concrete commitments and action plans not just speeches nature is angry and we fool ourselves if we think we can fool nature because nature always strikes back and around the world nature is striking back with fury someone asked me the other day doesnt all of these make you despair my answer was a clear and resound no i am hopeful and i am hopeful because of you. This is not the climate talks summit we have here the enough talk this is not the climate negotiating summits because we dont negotiate with nature this is a Climate Action summit climate activists gretta turned bird issued another emotional plea she accused World Leaders a pretrial in her generation by failing to cut Greenhouse Gas emissions you have stolen my dreams my childhood with your empty words and yet im one of the lucky ones. People are suffering people are dying entire School Systems collect singing we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal Economic Growth so a really powerful call for World Leaders to step up but only 77. 00 countries said they are committed to being Carbon Neutral by 2050 some of the worlds biggest emitters such as australia and brazil didnt make any pledges a tall and President Donald Trump who wants to pull the us out of the paris climate agreement attended only briefly. Now gulf states make up 3 of the top 4 at mit is when Carbon Emissions are assessed on a per capita basis so the total emissions divided up by the number of people in the country but the eye mayor of qatar is promising change another 100 today you will hear the phenomenon of Climate Change is undoubtedly one of the serious challenges of our time causing many problems including economic environmental and social problems all cease must fulfill their responsibilities and honor their commitments under International Agreements and the state of qatar has assumed its responsibilities as an active or there in the International Community to confront Climate Change bill had a mari as the director of the Climate Change department qatars Environment Ministry and he joins me from new york mr omara thank you very much for being here what exactly is qatar doing to on its commitments. Cutters commitment is in line with the vision of carter 2030 and the believe and understanding of for the government that Climate Change is a very important issue and its a cross border phenomena that needs to have all its faults and solidarity to achieve. Meaningful outcome and approach to blame and Climate Action and that is agreement where the challenge is if qatar is to stick to its 2030 vision of Economic Development plus Environmental Protection and also to reach the Carbon Neutrality required by the Paris Agreement then thats impossible if it continues to depend on fossil fuels which are the base of its economy and yet the switch to Renewable Energy here seems to be rather slow this is something that is actually its not only in the in qatar you know it is the dilemma that were all facing in terms of energy the knowledge is limited in terms of for renewable is for instance this is a harsh environment but we face the problem of does and heating of the panels so we are doing our best really to have our own customized kind of renewable sources the science shows that if Current Trends continue then by 2100 then this region will be uninhabitable its got our prepared to leave its dependence on fossil fuels in order to ensure that future generations here do not become climate refugees. Well look we recognize and they were by the noise that oil and gas or the fossil fuel is a depleting resource and that is why were there visit find in terms of you know other sectors including sport and occasion and many others but still we are trying to really also adapt to the harsh environment that we have there are said is that we have already that shows this unbacked is really there and it is increasing and we need to be ready for it seem events but as we said before this is something that needs to need so that he and working together otherwise then backed or having their response and to the right level is not going to be really. You know having that item affect my summary thank you very much i get to have you on the show thank you very much thank you for having me thank you. As World Leaders remain divided on climate young people have shown they are truly united on the issue from new zealand to italy to canada millions of children skipped school again on friday to hold Global Climate strikes organizers say hoff a 1000000 students and adults joined gretta turn back at a rally in montreal and they have some words of wisdom for those in charge if you dont do this no be no future for us to look at the point of studying in school in the world today weve got these new mintern are doing justice to our planet of science he busy it up with last minute budget deal is over the blessed so you do. Remove all of his own movie we want action from you where are you. Going to keep fighting for the stain ability that we deserve and i believe. It would be. Starting with the banning of single use personally and even the banning of fossil fuels would be greatly to take product of wasting. Gases and we should actually take frayns take a bite from predators for tasted political newsroom agreement to. Show. You could have in your mind as a goal if you life improved in life this is really like your hour like no more time left to act on Climate Change because people around the world are already being affected my generation really should have to be out here missing school we should be in school. As it almost put the head of the port in cmos was kidding that is we should i be forced to leave because there is no going to be and this is the only planet we have to live in now theres a wealth of information out there from the media collaboration covering climate now like this one on the Guardian Newspapers websites explaining the Climate Crisis in 10 charts the states are on the rise of com dioxide a timeline of deforestation in the amazon as well as potential solutions. And there are plenty of great explainers like this one from hot mess its a publicly funded you tube channel out of the us devoted entirely to the Climate Crisis a lot of people around the world are already trying to do things differently even when others around them on mariella come o. Is a maori woman from new zealand who this year embarked on what became a very public Journey Towards 0 waste. Its a feeling it will thing i think for most Indigenous Peoples to to hear about their footprint in the way that we engage with. The environment and how we respect that we did create this pretty close to 0 waste values growing up but i didnt even think of it that way until the beginning of this year when i decided to try the things here at west for one month and i thought of this with others so i called it the month of change. Really focused on it being one of the one month ill try this thing out and man i really struggled for. I mean i i think i probably failed immediately because as it turns out you cant really decide to go 0 waste you have to undo so much of what youve learned ive discovered one of the cool things how much we believe that we need stuff that we actually dont need so i had to undo a whole lot of beliefs and a whole lot of practices and one of those things was discovering that i didnt need cleaning products i dont buy cleaning products and only more just dont need them and i was trying to baking breeden making biscuits and because i didnt im a total sugar freak and i dont want to be buying chocolate like i normally would find either a source of where we can find a place to call pick a tree produce or grow it its tricky focus for me id is really is trying to keep the rubbish been empty this is some of the paraphernalia that ive collected for the 0 waste this year i dont have all of this with me all of the time i have 2 or 3 of these things depending on what i think im going to need to in the day and if i struck something that i would like to buy but dont have the ability to. To buy without having Something Like this standby were not winning every day but were trying every day and thats what i say to people who are interested in this journey is try every day do what you came in. More every single day and at the end of the month there was no question of whether i will keep going and a lot of it was to do with the joy that i found in practicing this lifestyle you reconnect with you reconnect back to what provides for us how how hard it tries to sustain us. And how lucky we are that we have a planet that is despite our great efforts is still trying to keep us alive so fascinating insight into ways we can reduce waste and wed love to hear from you what are you and those around you doing to minimize your impact on the planets you can get in touch with us on social media the hash tag is a.

It became obvious during the election day saturday that the turnout was going to be low but these initial figures seem to bear out just how low the turnout has been we have had the initial figures back from the Election Commission showing that across afghanistan some 4500 polling stations were opens thats 500 less than the country wanted those 500 couldnt open because of security concerns and well over half of those polling stations have now returned figures showing that more than a 1000000 people voted now if you consider that most of these polling stations that have so far registered their numbers in the cities where security is higher then we could see even lower returns coming from rural areas where the taliban is stronger so that 2000000 votes could be on the optimistic side even so that is out of a population of 9000000 people who are registered to vote in a country of 30000000. 00 plus and this compares with the last election 5 years ago when 8000000. 00 people went out to vote in the last the Afghanistan Government is claiming this to be a success that despite all of the predictions of chaos and violence it was able to open polling stations and maintain a certain level of security across the country but despite that many parties here will be wondering just how valid this result can be with so few people voting and the allegations of vote rigging of voter fraud have already started between them.
