 Good morning. Hi, I'm Tan Copsi from BBC Media Action. BBC Media Action is the BBC's international development charity. And today I'm going to tell you how we can create better communication with rural youth. Rural youth, as we'll see today, have vast potential to create responses to climate change that improve lives. We're lucky today also, I thought I should mention, to have a lot of the people here, sort of young innovators and change-makers, and I'm really privileged to be among these people. People like Karen Twazon of the Philippines, who's working with young landowners to empower them through collective action, which is something we found was really, really important in the climate-ager study, which I'll tell you more about today. Also people like Autumn Joseph, who's worked in a war-torn landscape in Uganda, but he's helping restore that landscape, also with others. Okay, so better communication can enable effective action in response to a changing climate. Communication here can be a variety of things. I'm from the BBC, so one of the things I'm really interested in is communication through broadcast media, but it's not just broadcast media, it's face-to-face communication with a village elder, let's say. Today I'm going to tell you the stories of two people, one in Indonesia and one in India, and I'm going to demonstrate to you a bit how communication can change lives in rural areas. Everything I say today is based on data, so you know the climate-ager study is a gigantic study across Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan and Vietnam. We conducted more than 33,500 interviews, and that included 8,500 interviews with young people in rural areas. I thought I'd better say here, as I have some friends with a quaint background in the room, young here is people age 15 to 24, but we're also including analysis of people age 25 to 34, so perhaps more of us in this room are young than we realized. Okay, if I could have the first slide, please. Second slide, in fact. Brilliant. Okay, this is Jenta. Jenta lives in Kalamantan in Indonesia. Oh, sorry, we can go one back, please. She weaves bamboo mats and she values her religion. She thinks life has largely improved over the last 10 years. As an example, she says they've built roads into her village, which means a greater variety of foodstuffs come in and out. But she's also noticed changes in climate. She thinks that rainfalls become less predictable and that temperatures have risen. In her area, she also feels that young smallholder farmers, but also other farmers are suffering from decreased agricultural productivity. And this is interesting because she also says that large palm oil companies in the province are doing very, very well and also putting pressure on her to give up her land. She thinks that a combination of these changes, development and changes in climate, have negatively impacted her life, particularly her ability to earn money. What's worse though is that she doesn't feel informed about how to respond to the changes she's noticing. And this isn't just Jenta in Indonesia. Across the region, only 10% of rural youth felt very informed about how to respond to changes in climate. Across the region too, a quarter of young rural youth are feeling a high impact on their lives now as a result of these changes. This can sort of have social impacts too. So if we move from Indonesia to Bangladesh, in one village in the northwest, people in the village were suffering from intense water shortages. This was a result of both a drought and a dam on the other side of the border in India. In this village, young men were really struggling to find wives because who would want to marry into a village with no water. But young people are responding and as we'll see today, young people can take action to respond to both changes in climate and resource shortages. A quarter of young people had already begun to change their livelihoods and we asked them, what does this mean? What does this mean to change your livelihood? In some cases, that was within farming, so people were alternating crops or trying new crops and techniques. In other cases, it wasn't necessarily so positive. So for instance, Jenta's husband now works for periods of the year in Malaysia. When he comes back, he talks about how he lacks the skills to be successful outside of agriculture. Another key point, Jenta here is worried about the future. She thinks she's experiencing impact on her life now as we touched upon on her ability to earn money. But Jenta, like half of young people across the 8,500 we surveyed, expects to experience high impact from changes in climate in future. Okay, now if we move to the next slide, I'm going to tell you how communication with rural youth and I stress with can empower them to create change. This is Cabralal. Cabralal is of course his nickname. It means either radio man or person who provides information. He lives in a community in Madhya Pradesh, which is also suffering from water shortages. Cabralal one day was listening to his radio and he heard on the radio an invitation to enter a competition, much like many people here. The competition was for young people to try out new techniques in farming. It was organized by an NGO in India called Development Alternatives. Cabralal got together with his friends and they tried out a variety of sort of organic manure and planted organic crops. Ultimately, the reason he's looking so happy is that he won the competition. The point here is that across the climate Asia study, we found young people who worked together, who felt more involved in their communities and felt that their communities acted together to solve problems were much more likely to be taking action and much more likely to be successful with that action. We also found that people who talked about these issues, who talked about food and water, energy and indeed changes in climate, were also taking more action. So my question to you here today is how can we inspire more Cabralals? How can we take what we do here today and transpose it? How can we talk to these people in language they understand? At BBC Media Action, we're trying to build on the findings of the climate Asia study and of course, as I said earlier, we're interested in broadcast media so we're trying to do this at scale. In Bangladesh, we're working with climate change experts and a state broadcaster to create something of a world first. It's a reality television show for young and indeed older farmers. We hope to reach tens of millions of people with a program that inspires people to take action. But it's a little more complex than that because it's not simply about providing information to an audience. What we hope to do is inspire people to transpose that information and use it in a local context. We want to use the program to stimulate discussion in communities much like those featured on the show and we want to challenge people to try and economically empower themselves. We're interested in featuring young entrepreneurs who are taking action in response to changes in climate. We also want to stimulate discussion because ultimately, as we'll see today, people are stronger when they act together. Okay, I'll leave you just with a final thought. Everyone who speaks today is going to tell you something interesting and fascinating but we're here in a hall in Warsaw. So how can you take what you learned today and communicate it with the people you know with the audiences you're familiar with? Thank you.
