 Good morning. My name is Fatima Denton, the Director of the United Nations University Institute for Natural Resources in Africa, which is you and you, Indra, based in Ghana, with an Africa white mandate to support the management of natural resources. In this conference, I would like to focus on a few, I think, compelling issues that are related to lands and implications for whether some of the implications of land management and how that intersects with climate change. The aspects of climate related injustices that we're seeing as a result of a model of extracting in terms of our economies and how that is also affecting our land and how it's affecting our food security and our food systems. First, I'd like to say land is a price commodity, but more than that, land is essential. It's essential for human survival. Land is about us, it's about our identity. But land is increasingly on the threat because land is degraded. That degradation is causing a lot of hardship for people across the globe, especially people who are land dependent in Africa. And that with the stressor of climate change, which is now almost like a perennial one, because it seems like it's here to stay. That pressure is also affecting food security. It's affecting people's ability to earn a living. And it also means that developed nations and developing countries need to come together to find solutions in terms of how this is managed. The solutions are not easy. They're often very complex, very difficult because we are talking essentially about historical emissions. People in the global south are bearing the externalities of climate change and that has implications also on their economies. It has implications on the strategies they want to use to manage land. So what I think is essential in this conference is to lay out that there are historical emissions that we cannot deny. Those historical emissions have got, I'd say, they've got links to our food systems. They've got links to our strategies for adaptation and mitigation. And we have to think about all of these different links and basically see how we can make sense of them. But more than that, I think it's also important to say that it means that we have to think about ways of designing solutions out of this. The climate finance aspect is essential. Right now it's really skewed against developing countries. The management of land, the management of climate change, being adaptation and mitigation have got serious financial burdens, I'd say, on developing countries. That burden, that responsibility is not shared by all. And yet we have a global architecture that says we're all in this together. So if we're all in this together, it means that those that have done nothing to be in this scenario need to be giving some of the tools and the resources so that they can also get themselves out of it. But also begin to build a shared growth and prosperity for their people. So those are some of the issues I'd like to talk about. I know that these might have implications also for other things that we want to do related to green minerals, for instance, how that is managed because that is something that is also very important. We want to go towards renewable energy, but that might also have implications for land and land management. So how do we look forward to the future, but at the same time, address some of the more structural problems that we see that are some of them are voice that are nice, but some of them are things that we can address and we can solve. So that is the essence of what I would like to say in my conversation on this very important conference. Thank you.
