Our planets climate is changing at an alarming rate and leading to extreme weather patterns over the past 140 years since 880. 00 the earths average surface temperature has risen by just over one degree but the rise is already having an impact. Storms flooding and drought a causing more and more people to leave their homes the un says that 5205200 1000000 people will have been displaced by the effects of Climate Change. Where will they go. Grew up here in the highlands of guatemala. Shes grown potatoes all her life in recent years things have changed. Yet this little plant as you can see she isnt Strong Enough to survive if we cant use it was seeds of potato production its a loss in sydney. Every year drought and frost destroy many potato plants which is all our family grow on their fields. In guatemalas Western Highlands most people are small scale farmers and 3 quarters of them live in poverty during the rainy season from may to october the countryside changes from dusty and dry to lush and green for people are this would be the most trouble free part of the year if only rainfall patterns were like they used to be thank you. Then actually what is so important for us to the community because we have no natural water sources. We depend on the rainfall was here last and just thats why we buy 10 years and canisters to catch them i would. Say. But yeah well theres some of cannons thats the only way to store a bit of water and that its very important for our communities and our plantations lets start siap. Them without water we can do nothing thats. Around half the residents of toddlers sometimes have gone to the United States after every drought and more and more leave most of the men are now working in the us. Every month they send a few 100. 00. To last house was built with u. S. Dollars. The family also uses the money to pay the installments on a loan they took out to finance the trip and the people smugglers.

But the cities of phoenix and tucson still use the resource wastefully. They counted among the least sustainable cities in the world. Hundreds of thousands of liters of water go into keeping golf courses in the deserts green and. In the arizona desert scientists at the biosphere 2 experimental station are trying to find out how to model and perhaps aid the earths major ecosystems. The biosphere started out as the Worlds Largest ecological experiment ever conducted with a closed our controlled environment to try to replicate Earth Systems and a better understanding of. The Research Center houses 7 model ecosystems its a unique place where under close to real world conditions its possible to test how Natural Systems will respond to extreme environmental change the researchers can control the climate and measure how the ecosystem reacts. In the model rain forest an International Team of scientists are studying what happens when theres less rain why. Its important to know what will happen in the worlds forests in the future. And so what happens here in the us or what happens in europe or asia at some point is going to end back all of us so i think it behooves all of us to recognise that we are seeing changes that those changes have in packs on ecosystems on resources and we are dependent on those systems for arts. And so. Dramatically. Impact potentially if were not able to adapt. The law is seeking help to the 5 the extrusion whether potatoes are her livelihood now shes lost not only a large part of the harvest but has too few seeds for planting next year a seed bank helps farmers like. 53 domestic potato varieties grow in the fields here the seed bank gives people are this in return shell have to give up some of her next harvest.

But now even the economic crisis doesnt seem to be dampening the party spirit here. But appearances can be deceiving in terms of gender equality lebanon lags way behind in the global index thats partly because many aspects of life are governed by religious traditions only men can pass on their lebanese nationality to their children.
