 I heard a very wise discussion and displacement this morning that my foundation is working on and this was priceless to us to have the direct voices on the ground and it's been a great conversation on how we implement the Paris Agreement and on how we make sure that this great global commitment translates into meaningful and positive change at the local level and how local communities can inform that this change which is vital so that we can ensure that we do stay at 1.5 degrees Celsius a goal and all the time ensuring that people are at the center of the discussion so that we achieve climate justice. Is that better? A better? More accurate? So in a way your all part of this discussion we're going to make this session as interactive as we can and use the messages that you have contributed to to inform the discussion. I've already introduced the Minister Minister, so let me now introduce the other panelists, Cathy, General Kitchener, Climate Action Activist and put from the Republic of the Marshall Islands who made such a fantastic impact at the summit last in 2014 in New York. Yuba Sokona head of the Interim Independent Delivery Unit of the Africa Renewable Energy Initiative and vice chair of the IPCC, great to have you here Yuba. Hindu, Hindu Umarul Ibrahim coordinator of the Association of Indigenous Women and People's Chat wonderful to have you. I see you on every panel nowadays I mean they signal transfer of the panelist I thought it's great to have you, it's great to have you here and on my on this side James close director of the Climate Change Group of the World Bank and Patrick McFury Community Resilience Manager from the Red Cross in Malawi. You recall that we've been speaking in three tracks and we've been speaking in three different tracks. The first one is action towards climate ambition in the Paris and ambition and Yuba and Cathy will speak to that but because we have a limited time of the Minister we want to make sure they maximize that limited time so we're going to actually start with track two and track two is on just and equitable decision-making and it's important that we have an opportunity to hear the way in which Minister you as a champion of climate justice and of women's leadership how can we bring the voices of women and vulnerable communities into the negotiations and I know that you would prefer to speak in French but you're going to speak in English because more people understand English. Thank you, thank you very thank you for giving me this opportunity to share with you what I think before I before being champion first mother of three daughters and one for one young kids and I was fighting during all my life for two issues first one is sustainable development environment this is my feeling and everyone was women but I'm not I was not waiting for women as well I was fighting for the issue of women because this is not a women issue I'm so delighted to see men here in this in this session and women because this is a society issue we can build this new world where women are from Paris without women women are in the heart of the global transformation. Paris was an amazing and historical moment and Paris was just a fair today we are here in COP 22 to implement the Paris agreement to implement the Paris agreement means that we need to change all our habits we need to change the way we produce we need to change the way we are consuming we need to change the way we are building transporting etc etc we need to change our culture and we need to change the way we are dealing with the development and now we have dealt with the development without women and we can't do anymore because women with the issue of climate change are in the heart of the issue women are the one who are the most vulnerable to climate change women are the one who are working on the land fields on the lands and agriculture they are representing 40% of the tax in Africa if we speak only about Africa so women are the one who are most written by climate change but women are the part of the solution too so we can deal this global transformation without women and thanks to the leadership of this woman Mary Robinson I don't have the answer for a question you had because together with you we have loved it in Paris to introduce gender in all the agreement we have loved it here to have the first decision on the women on the gender issue on the decision of COP 22 and I would like to congratulate you for that the thing the issue is now how to make the gender issue across cutting issue in all the articles of the Paris agreement because we are both involved in we are involved both in mitigation and in adaptation and you you can all of us know that we don't have only few men we have few women we don't only have mayors man we have only we have also mayors women so I think that this is now the time to be able to to to work together hand in hand to build this to to build this global transformation Paris agreement is waiting this is a process like and the long-term process we will not change and climate change in two days or in 12 days during COP 22 we have to build the process and we can't build the right process without 50% 50% of the the world which are women so women are there and I would like by the same occasion to invite all of you to the summit of women leaders and global transformation which will be held on the 16th of the in the is the palace for them we will break first ladies they will they were not involved in the discussion we will grow a break see use women see use they were not involved in the discussion we will bring all the leaders women leaders to discuss this issue and to be part of the global transformation well thank you very much for that open invitation which I hope people will take seriously on the 16th to your one of the summit of women leaders now minister I'd like to invite Hindu to give you a sense not just as you have so eloquently framed it about women's participation but also the other issues that are related to the session that we had on just an equitable decision-making for climate resilience into and then minister if you could respond to thank you very much Mary for this invitation and it's my pleasure really to resume the track number two the two-day working outcome in this how to give place to all this take hold at the decision-making yes I hear from a high auntie about women participation and how it's going I'm going to be beyond this one we get the decision during the parties and we saw the leadership of participation of the decision-making would take us to the parties agreement and into the force but we said we won't have action and we want to implement the price agreement so from the two day discussions we saw that to implement this one the decisions have to cop at the different level at the national level yes into the negotiation but at the national and local level so at the international level how this one can go beyond the barriers who are already there there's always the same issues and people sitting to the table in discuss so on this one as indigenous peoples and we do have the decision 135 on the knowledge platform we say traditional indigenous peoples knowledge are very important but we cannot do that without taking the same place into the decisions we propose at the knowledge platform how we can have the full and effective participation of indigenous peoples in this one and when we participate we don't want to just listen from you how the people can listen from us because the solution are coming from us the knowledge are coming from us if we don't have the space and we cannot say whatever that we want this platform work it's cannot going to happen concretely and achieve the goal that we have and secondly how we can do that at the local and national level these decisions and what's come up from the discussions also there is a language barriers we saw that here like into this negotiation is only English is working but we do have six language into the U.S. so when you go back at the national and local level how these decisions can be transferred to the local language the national language their communities peoples can understand and they can be tapped into the consideration that's really a big challenge but we need that for the actions so another one how we can include the social aspect we cannot go to the solution without respecting the human rights and against people rights and when we say that we do have many solution now we are talking a lot about renewable energy and we talk a lot about the solas and the things but if there is a big dam for the clean energy or a big land grabbing to make just a solar power or we it's not anymore a clean energy because it's violating the rights of the people displacing peoples or destroying biodiversity by the big dam so those are not the sustainable solution how we can get these one really clear and involve peoples and give them the right solution on me so those come from the to the discussion and how you can ensure as it can really work here in the decision-making thank you Hindu and you know I did a meeting together with you and we proposed to the UNF Turkey see already that the the ingenious people practices or best practices should be reshifted in the NASCAR platform this is the first thing but we think that we need to have dialogue together with the different group of negotiation and with the bodies of the UNF Turkey see to find the right place when you can when you can deliver your message and when you can participate as a representative of the of the indigen indigenious people you make to work now it is exercise okay this is the first point I think that we can organize this together with you and with the UNF Turkey see and another leadership of Mary the second point concerning the local communication and how we can implement it locally I think that this is a local issue the country has to develop its own strategy we have we are creating the framework here we are saying okay we are going to decarbonize we are going to switch to to low carbon technologies we this is what we are doing and the indices of the countries should come through or should be the result of the division of the country the strategy of the country and you have the NDC and then you have to implement your NDC locally so I think this is more related to capacity building because nobody will tell you how to choose your project what you need to present is a optimal project with a low carbon technology which is adapted to your specificity to your culture to your practices and then what we need to work on together with the Green Fund with the financial institution with the UNF Turkey community is how to make this link together with you and how to give access to such local project coming from the indigenous people I think that the debate we had before together between the indigenous people and the UNF Turkey see was not a debate oriented action now we need to switch to this debate to be constructive and to say that we need platforms for discussion we need platforms and tools for finance we need maybe to discuss with the Green Fund a quota for the indigenous people I don't know but we need to discuss such issues with the right organization with the right but the bodies of the UNF Turkey to be able to find out what are the thank you very much minister thank you for responding in fact I was also aware that one of the first things you mentioned was the gender decision and it now includes valuing local and indigenous knowledge valuing the participation of grassroots women so we have already made significant progress in creating a potential platform which in do you have to make a real platform make sure it was not easy I hope thank you so much I promised you that we will not keep you longer and the few minutes that you had and all the best for the rest of this cup and in particular for the issues that we're discussing here in the climate days and we will all I hope come to your wonderful summer I'll win the leaders
