because they should have planted the load needs and into for the fuel. we need to address the cut emissions in increase for and just an inclusive 20 percent for us the most much because we can draw in our experiences to offer solutions to changing play mit. so we start our conversation with our panel. so when misery, coves, so good to have you all here at the stream. so please introduce yourself to stream viewers around the world. thank you so much for me. my name is sel with heart, the special advisor for claimant action to the you on check with general and assistant sector general for the climate action team. to agree to join you are great to have you ms. ring. please say hello to stream audience and tell them who you are, what you do. hi everyone around the world. it was morning evening and also good afternoon. wherever you are watching us. my name is fine, i am from to them. and i'm the chair of the us, the chris city, general advisory group on climate change get to have here and hello. how are we can't do this conversation route. you tell our audience why who you are and what you do. well, thank you for having me semi hello everyone. i'm co barrett, i'm one of the 3 i p. c. c, vice chairs. so the audience come misery. there was a big meeting today. it was a close meeting. leaders around the world were gathering. they were being very kind, age and the the you were saying, we need to take climate change. seriously. if you with miss rain, what would you have told those wild leaders to actually get them to take more action? what would you said? what would have been your pet talk? well, i guess i would say that unfortunately we've been more than quarter century discussing something that already by science. and unfortunately, even most of the companies already ratified to the various agreements we still left behind when it comes to action. and i would tell them that our future that we'd be actually in dangerous, not only the future, but even even now, even the person that we are living in, in africa, on one of the big country and our route where other areas of the world. and i was very critical because a lot, right, it doesn't really matter. now if you are coming from a developed countries or developing countries, because climate crisis, when kids are or how would bring your advice to those wildly that it would have been candid, unfiltered. what would you said? well, is there a better answer than what miss ranger said? and coming from the youth who are inheriting this earth that we are leaving for them? i think it's powerful, but i would say the earth is shouting, we did action. so when you were actually there, right, so was it close door because it was such an emergency and the world leaders had to be i'm just wondering whether the un secretary general gave them a dressing down. well yes, it was a closed door meeting. and the 2nd general contained this meeting, really because the reality is we are we off track and he wanted to instill a sense of urgency on the dire state of the climate process. and he also wanted to hear directly from leaders, what they intend to bring to cop 26 in grad school were way off target on emissions reductions on finance, on support for adaptation. and the good news is that leaders agreed on the sense of urgency the need for higher levels off ambition. and hopefully that will translate into increase in more ambitious commitments as we had towards grad school in the next 4 weeks. you twice a week. so yeah, you say you say, hopefully there's not much time between now what is known as cop 26, a big climate conference. it's happening in glasgow. people who are in the climate . so just take it off, go now that he was, they got $26.00. he's the secretary, which is a few days ago. you feel the sense of urgency of his speaking. have a look, have a lesson unless there are immediate, rapid and large scale reactions in greenhouse gas emissions, we will be unable to limit the global heating to $1.00 degrees celsius, and the consequences will be catastrophic. comp 26, these november must mark the turning point by then we need all countries to commit to achieve net still emissions by the middle of the century and to present clear, credible, long term strategies to get this. i am wondering if this is incredibly, incredibly frustrating. for you, the sciences there, we know, and we know for a very long time, decades as a fine test. what is this moment like for you? you know, for me, it's not frustrating for me. i feel like society in general and governments are listening to the science like they never have before. sure, it's hard because the message is dire. i mean, you know, earth is likely hotter now than it has been in any moment since the last ice age. 125000 years ago, every decade in the last 40 years has been warmer than the one before. so the evidence is now team. but i'm not frustrated. i'm optimistic. i think people are taking the science seriously and it should spar action. i'm going to play uri for you, i. so when he's a climate scientist, i'm going to play him to you and then ask you, then how do you tell what he says that science into policy and action? his yury. we already live on the change planet that has warmed by more than one degree celsius and where we are now experiencing the devastating impacts flops, he twins or one fires. science can now attribute these changes to our human activities in our greenhouse gases. that means we also know what we need to do to avoid some getting worse. greenhouse gases need to be reduced as dps possible, and carbon dioxide needs to be reduced to 0. so when can you explain to us why it is so difficult to get government to actually have a climate change policy? we don't even have any red flags anymore. it's just the climate is changing in every single country around the world. why is this difficult felt when? well, it's a very complex issue. the science is extremely clear. as you reset, of course, said others mystery said, government know what did need to do. we need to cut emissions by about 45 percent below 2010 levels by 2030 and achieve that 0 emissions by 2050. but we're not seeing the national commitments. we're not seeing national commitments from government, but the level of our mission that is required or in line with the sites. yeah. and the reality is that countries see this as difficult. hard choices need to be made. it means transformation of energy systems. it means transformation of transport systems, which is, which is very expensive, especially in the money so, and if it's just about money in history and is in this machine is going to interject. i mean, if you need adjustments, so when you pick up off the back of the go ad, we just, we just too cheap to say that planet misery and i think so, and it's sort of them. i think that's why he think that's actually but i think anyone who have mine inside of their head knows that it's a monday. it's an interest issue. it's not easy to auction. it's called a hole. it does. she like the problem? it would induct street. they control a lot of sectors. they actually even support a lot of sectors. they support sometimes the health sector. they even support some of the election companies are the world leaders nowadays? so money improve interest. this is the triangle that actually taught the profit from happening. simply how issue is complicated. why the reason is very obvious. it's interest and well, thou and yes, leadership by governments is absolutely critical. and we need governments to take the lead in 2nd grade, clear climate commitments, target. some policies are government can't do this alone. as miss reed said, we need the voices of young people who must advocate for their future. who must be these are young people whose future will be jeopardized, will not be able to realize their full potential every don't address the climate crisis. what we need to also order leaders to leaders signed on to the purchase agreement leaders committee to pursue the $1.00 degree goal of the pirates agreement. the current commitments place us at $2.00 degrees celsius. this is next to they're not living up to their commitment. so in your life, can i just just in just really obviously what, what the pages were and what we're actually seeing right now have a look on my laptop. hey, this is to thought to great graphic is a terrible graphic, but really easy to see. so this is a climate action tracker. this is a 1.5 celsius paris agreement who is compatible gambia 11 place. and then almost at all i said, agreeing to cutting the emissions and what they promised them, what they have delivered, costa rica if you can. morocco, nepal, nigeria, the u. k. insufficient, you can see all of these areas around here. look at this, the e, you view opinion as not even one country that many there usa here, highly insufficient, huge list here. and then critically insufficient russia, saudi arabia, thailand, there were promises and those promises have not been delivered. let's talk about the impact that's actually happening down on the grants missing. good. you go 1st and i'm not, i'm going to bring him glad. he's also a young climate activist mystery thoughts read the diagram again. i just want to show you something that's actually go ahead. it's here, it's ready. yes. that countries who does the question and you see and the almost sufficient all of what u. k are the following country. they are from them, from the lower emission. isn't that amazing? the countries are probably meeting the least are doing the most work and the 3 and just did that because because she's, she's almost diplomatic herself. she said in d. c nationally determined contributions. that is the promise that was a problem that was made during the parents agreement. and then whether they actually deliver, i want to bring him live here. miss. really find my, i'm going to play lie to you. because a lot he's talking about climate change. it's happening right now where he lives. have a listen, have a look. my home community, the capital one additional if you don't change through the fate of the minister where we get 80 percent of our portable work. unfortunately, it is traditional the nice, there is the grading with every single year, and there is no end in sight so far. and you said independent and scores on how the parents agreement is progressing in this field. unfortunately, the recent data shows that we are at best 50 percent way there, but we are still on the way to allow a warming that could be more than 2 and a half degrees. there is still a lot more action, require a lot more commitment and a lot more finance to feel this commitment as well. so co the risk assessment from the into government puddle supply. me at change was that we all i to code read for humanity. there is no obscure language there. what does that mean in terms of the science? what are we seeing right now that is deeply, deeply scary? well, 1st i'll say that stories like the one shared by blood, our stories that we are seeing all across the globe. i mean, look at this is summer heat waves, drought fires, floods that like what we're seeing here across the globe recently is exactly what we envision to be typical of global warming. and they are also directly caused by global warming. so the report goes into detail about how the earth has warmed and how it's projected to warm in the future. it talks about how we are now able to attribute human influence to the climate extremes that we're seeing. the science finds that the next 10 to 20 years are critical, really, to getting the problem under control, we cannot continue to put off rapid and transformational action. the good news is though, if we strengthen our resolved an ac. now it's not too late to forestall. many of the most dire consequences reducing every ton of carbon pollution and avoiding every fraction of a degree of warming will not only lessen the harm over the next few decades. but we'll reverberate for centuries to come. i am going to ask all, if you get to do a speed round, we have she event on youtube right now. we have the question, i want to instant officer from all 3 of you. if i may develop countries hom, the environment most, how do we convinced the carpet emission giants to change? instant soft arthur, misery, new star? well, renewable energy, renewables, these, there is a big then in my regarding, i do right now. when you have an energy. so is a way, way to get the energy. unfortunately, the manufacturing of renewable energy materials are in your energy equipment yet not very cream green. so i think we should do green renewable energy at this reduce a lot of, of the mission. it will also reduce the inequality because actually our is a great tool to do so in this is your entire job. how did, how did you persuade the carbon emission giants to change is what she balance. aust, he's what right now, what are you going to give him? well, my answer, it's in the economic interests of countries to to be more ambitious on climate action. renewable energy in most parts of the world is much cheaper than coal power . and many instances, fossil fuel, power, generation and energy emissions of call for 3 fourths of total emission. so it's in the economic interest. it makes good business sense for country one company for a city to be ambitious on climate change and to go great. make at west wild. what would you say? i would actually agree with what miss re inside and add to it a little bit. you know, this is an incredible opportunity for us to transform our economies. and we've already seen it with renewable energy solar and when prices are going down and it's so much more affordable, we just need to take that kind of action and apply it to transport. city, agriculture and, and kind of bring ourselves into the future here. it's time i would even go home if i me say that we should go buying a grow for the already fall up country. why and how the equity. all i actually involvement in the under development are these development countries. the growth is kerry story for a lot of people, but when you make it them, it makes a lot of sense. because if i ask someone, do you prepared to leave you all happy and healthy life, or do you prefer you guys off empty guy bridge? i think most of us, which are no healthy life and have a wealthy live with a low medical health implications. economic cation infrastructure, implications and so on. so i guess the growth is a scary idea for a lot of people. we might find it the only way, the only solution to actually reduce the richard that are already put the in the, in the planet. the a couple of weeks ago, guess the thing looked at the climate emergency and some of the climate activism that was happening, particularly a group called extension rebellion where they are taking at climate crises so seriously that they're using a very specific kind of protest. but i'm not sure we had rupert read and we had a prediction about 26. remember that big climate change conference? it's happening in scotland in november. haven't listen, have a look to what he said. and he told us on the stream a few weeks ago on believable a pulling in action on this for such a long time. we're now moving to a moment when that could change, which is the cock go big, big climate conference in november. but i'm going to say something on comes up as century now and controversial, which is that back conference is virtually bound to fail. it will fail us as they failed us. previously, even the parents agreement in 2015, which was an amazing diplomatic achievement, is a paper tiger. and we're on course for if we stick to the parents agreement, where on course, even then the civilizational meltdown. so the bottom line is that there are no adults, there is no cavalry writing to the rescue. and really a crucial message that i would like to give to everyone watching tonight who is thinking, what can i do or what, what should we do in this situation? is we need to act on this together and we need to act on it with our expectation that our governments are going to save us some right to the right. wow. ok. i show me when that happened on the stream. so when there's, i've seen a few of them for 26, i've seen a lot of cynicism for 26. and it's almost like the last chart saloon. are we putting a lot of pressure on our governments to be able to come up with something that is actually going to change where we all right now? so in thought caught $26.00. yes, i just talked to gerald said it this morning that if we don't change course, there is a high risk or failure at court 26. and he has being very clear in terms of what needs to happen. countries need to put more ambitious national national commitments on the table. the need to increase the climate finance that they're provided to developing countries. and they're also the to support bud rubble. developing countries are also, or on the front lines of the climate crisis, with finance, in order to better adopt and build, which means to climate change. but the reality is we have 5 weeks left. we need to use every day between now and 26 to get countries to be more ambitious and i'm not ready to give up yet. the 2nd general is not ready to give up . yet, the beauty of the pers agreement is that, you know, it's not a perfect agreement when it's our best hope of time in the climate emergency. i like allows countries to submit periodically there the national commitment. and we've seen countries increase half countries represented half of global emissions have submitted in dcs. and these indices hub or sorry, these national commitments, no acronym, and these national our lead have lead to a reduction emissions of around 12 percent. it's not enough. it's not enough. but every, every single ton of carbon, every single degree ads, every single ton of carbon that is, we use or avoid it helps us to get closer to $1.00. we're not there yet. there are 20 countries that represent 80 percent of global emissions. we need these countries to meet. all right, so what needs to happen next are that we ask teresa addison and this is what she told us. let's be frank. the world isn't on track to meet the paris agreement targets, either to limit women to 1.5 degrees or to provide enough common finance to developing countries. so if we're to have a successful call $26.00, we need to see movement in 3 key areas. firstly, we need to see governments, particularly the wealthiest solution. governments have done the most to cause the climate crisis, taking far more action to be transformative, to be radical, in fact, to start polluting and to reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions at national level. so can we, we need to see those same governments providing far more time finance to lower income countries. and thirdly, we need those governments at developing the international policy frameworks at cop $26.00 common negotiations to really close loopholes to greenwashing and to protect the rights of those on the frontline of the climate crisis. so thank you to i guess . thank you teresa selwyn, misery and co for being, i guess to day and for sharing your knowledge in your insights on can governments take action? i feel that they are optimistic, perhaps more optimistic than our audience watching. thanks for watching off the next time. take care everybody ah oh, stories that need to be told find away and demand to be heard. the opening the window into another light and chanting perception from personal endeavours in epic struggle with the colossal sacrifices in individual journey witness showcase it inspiring documentary the change the way on al jazeera when freedom of the press is under threat in oh, you just because i thought genuinely about your thoughts towards the making government step outside the mainstream. there has been a implement here some of access points that shift the focus, the pandemic that's turned out to be a handy little pretext for the prime minister if it clamped down on the press, covering the waves. the news discovered the listening post on the news news news with me. i me. the canadian prime minister's liberal party went to the parliamentary election but fails to get a majority. ah, i'm fully back to boy, you're watching al jazeera life for my headquarters. the also ahead, the u. s. e 's as travel restriction to foreign visitors were fully vaccinated and have a negative cove in 1900 test, global markets rattle. years grow that one of china's biggest real estate developers could collab.
