 My name is Barnard Kimoro and I work for the State Department for Lifetalk, Minister of Agriculture and Lifetalk Development, where I'm in charge of coordinating policy that looks at adaptation and mitigation measures in the lifetalk subsector for us as a country from the global south. When you look at the agricultural sector as a whole, lifetalk is a very important subsector. Progressively what you have seen is that there has been increase of temperature which is creating a lot of heat stress on lifetalk. So that has a direct impact in terms of reducing productivity from lifetalk. We're also seeing emergence of new diseases and the pests which are further exacerbating the issues around productivity. Further we're also seeing especially in the fragile ecosystems, the increasing frequency and predictable droughts are actually leading to direct losses of lifetalk and that is affecting the livelihoods in those particular areas. Climate change is actually becoming a driver to other issues that traditionally not been there. We're also seeing issues around conflicts because lifetalk now have to go further in the past areas and this is leading to inter-communal conflicts because the resources are coming more scarce. Working with the CJIR has really been very helpful to us. Getting information that can inform new policies that you're forming which are directly looking at focused interventions on adaptation for example climate information services that we need for the species that are adaptable in different areas. Lifetalk species that can actually adapt to the heat stress or even reduced feed materials or even tolerant to some of the pest and diseases. On mitigation of course you also have to look at which technologies can be used to reduce emissions from the lifetalk because lifetalk has been looked at to some extent as one of the contributors of emissions especially methane from material fermentation. When you look at the NDC that we have contributed to as lifetalk sub-sector most of the information that you put there we have used the research especially from ILRI and also our national research systems which are operating. We are looking at a problem which is transboundary. It is taking place across ecosystems. We need to have implementation of interventions which are large scale and for us one of the things we are looking at is how can we be able to mobilize resources and means of implementation that can work at scale. For us therefore at COP27 one of the things we are looking at is can we be able to partner with any organization that looks at addressing climate hazards at transboundary levels and we can be able to ensure that if we are doing an intervention in one area it does not become a maladaptation or create a problem in another area. Increasing population means that we are going to have much more demand of livestock products in the long run. In fact in Kenya we are looking at the milk demand doubling by 2030 and becoming almost three times by 2050. In terms of meat we are looking at almost one and a half times by 2050 so demand is huge we have to be sustainable but we need the means to do that. That will be from large scale implementation initiatives.
