 How are you? Are you friends here? Not yet. Hi, what's your name? Nice to meet you. Where do you come from? I'm from Brazil. I'm from Thailand. My name is Kim, by the way. I work as a hydrologist at Overflatter. In ancient disaster, the pandemic center is in Bangkok, Thailand. I'm also being a part of this project as well. Really nice to meet you, Evan. Nice to meet you too. I'm an environmentalist and psychologist at the University, at the Federal University of Paris, Brazil. And I worked with Resilience in the urban areas of the National Delta. And what's your name? Hi guys, nice to meet you. Yeah. I'm Verica. I'm from Oman. I work in the urban parts. And I'm in the climate change program. Who should we stop? As you know, I'm a prince from Ghana. And I work in the Saudi Arabian part of Ghana. I'm always in Ghana. And I work on food security, climate change, teaching, supporting rural farmers and especially women to adapt to the bus of climate change. Yeah. So I think I've read the special reports from 4.5. That's great. In my home country, Thailand, so from the latest global private risk index, the RRI report of 2019, so my country, Thailand, turned out to be the top country that government get effect from the climate change in 2017. My country increased from 20 to 10 right now. So our government is a little bit panic. So especially this climate change effect currently through the library counter in Thailand. Have you guys ever tried mango with sticky rice before? Yes. Yes, do you like it? Yeah. Yeah, it's very yummy and delicious. So it's a very popular, even at the airport, they're going to have these mango with sticky rice that you guys can take back home if your country allow. But nowadays, people have a climate change mechanism. The temperature is increasing, so the trees, these insects, the life cycle is getting shorter. So from 21 days to over 38. So now because of an increased temperature, they just have 15 days so that another tree is increasing and then it's eating the flowers of the mangoes. So that's effect to the mango business in my country. And also because of the heavy rain and long duration where we have, so then we have less sunlight and that create a disease called attractionals that form a fungus. So they're eating the flowers of the mango. So now my country, before we can export 50 to 60% of the mango, but now this year just 20, not more than 30% so our farmers suffer a lot and maybe in the future we will have less mango with sticky rice for you guys. Yeah, so that's a cute aspect in my country. But my government, my lovely government like from the Congress agreement they also call it theater put into the National Strategy Plan since last year 2017 for the next 20 years, 2036 to be aware of this and making more serious and other public and private sectors trying to make a campaign like, for example, I learned from them and today they have called this tour back. So if you bring your own tour back to the supermarket, you will get some discounts, for example. So that's how I think that that's how to be aware and doing from the ground. Yes, Anna. In Brazil, I wish I could say the same thing that I had both of the government in Brazil and I... Even with I'm president wanting to pull out of the Paris agreement which I'm really hoping he's not able to and it seems like it's going to be my sense is that it would be very typical for him to do that and such an idea that he's going to now do it and change his mind. But from the picture that I gave in in the Amazon album, I really see a lot of low-wit-wit municipalities even though we do depend a lot on the federal government. I think there's a lot of ability to change and to adapt because they believe a very difficult situation and a lot of times people don't really think about the urban Amazon but in the Delta region there's more than 1.2 million people who are in the risk of flooding and like we were talking you know the most affected are the people living in the Paris food because these areas are unbanked and they flood and there's a lot of sanitation systems so they're definitely affected a lot in terms of their health. There's so many things that are impacted and I really feel like this report shows that the changes are going to have to be unprecedented in terms of land use and in terms of lifestyle. In terms of land use, we can say that working in the Earth and Delta we feel like there should be more water cities because there's no space for the waterways so we see the predictability of the rain and the flooding of the tides and the river. We really have a lot of still water so you not only have the problem of increasing malania and shibu konian and all of these factor-borne diseases you also have the dating problems of water-borne diseases, diarrhea and really one of the things we found is that single mom households are really one of the most affected in terms of disease and in terms of food security. I don't know if I talked too much but I think maybe it would be nice to hear a little bit from you. This 1.5 year issue, but imagine the people that doesn't have this information and you might have found some found a holy book from my people that is the poem it says that we are made from corn we are made from corn and everywhere in Guatemala you find corn everywhere is the place of our food and it's a very vulnerable drug too and imagine if the people in the rural regions that have problems with drugs they are not thinking about the heat or they are not thinking about some other issues that are already with this increase in temperature they are worried about what are they going to eat are they going to have a cold are they going to have enough money to food their they go to the center so I want to talk about corn because you see in the rural regions if you have soil in your backyard you see corn imagine if the corn crop is going to have difficulties so a lot of people are going to have to some people, some families they don't have anything about the corn they crop and they sell it or they will choose to work but I don't know sorry my English is still bad and if you have kids but the conditions are feeling bad and if you are going to have kids it's not good for the school for example so they are all the families with the health issues that have problems in the condition of health like diabetes or something like that so it's very hard for us not just for what we have but also the region, Central America is going to have a really, really big problem if we have this so please, can you please talk to us thank you I think it's really interesting from all that you guys are saying and for our kids in West Africa, especially in Ghana in the semi-arrived part of Ghana it's quite scary especially when you have light rooms of people and at this moment in that area of Ghana we only have in order which class or curriculum of 4 months, 3-4 months and with 1.5 it can go as slow as 2 months and that is really scary especially in old hospitals surrounded by people surrounded by people and I think even now at the moment the period where food gets in place for the household it's about 6-7 months so we can imagine about when 5 are affected by water activities we can go as much as 9 months or more and for me working with these people for a long time it's really scary and it has a lot of implications especially for women who are not given access to land they have a lot of old lands in the area and those who are not able to go to old land with 1.5 land goodness they want to farm more pastoral lands, so it is that the problem would then have to give up the lands that they have so that the land goodness can farm more and this is really scary especially also regarding water access irrigation even though there are like the flood water passes through the area but within the flood water people are able to give in assess it and use it effectively and along the flood water women are not even allowed to go along the flood water and this is really scary to a point when 1.5 would actually reduce the amount of water capacity the waste and the returns we hold and this is that women and minorities especially migrants would actually be eradicated in terms of water support some of these resources and that is really scary and again currently there are thousands of conflicts around water access among minorities and also women and this can increase from my calculation because the more the resources strength the more the fights and the struggle are raised and you know when there are conflicts women are caught in the list children and those who go to some of these things and of putting all these things together we know that people first think about what we eat before they think about blood agendas like gender equality women rights and things like that I remember one of our conversations where we were telling the community about how to allow women to participate in some of community issues and meetings we cannot even get what we eat first we have to think about putting food on a table allowing women to have access to some of to be part of the conversation so this really has a scary experience and with all this food people are able to feed themselves feed their families women are able to have access to food for their families instead of people moving from northern part of Ghana to the southern part of Ghana for alternative livelihoods and then again as well what people are doing now is really interesting they have a history of being women are starting to work like women and that's going to be amazing and very interesting that let's go to enjoy our slightly women's breakdown yes slightly women
