Hello,
everybody,
so
my
name
is
nicola
peale
and
I'm
going
to
be
speaking
a
little
bit
about
climate
justice,
so
what
I've
been
up
to
for
the
last
20
years
and
how
this
relates
to
climate
justice?
Well,
I've
been
working
in
the
ecuadorean
amazon
and
when
I
first
went
down
in
2000,
I
had
no
idea
of
the
injustices
that
I
was
going
to
be
faced
with.
A
I
had
no
idea
that
the
largest
oil
spills
on
the
planet
have
been
in
the
amazon
and
also
that
some
of
the
highest
childhood
leukemia
rates
are
amongst
the
indigenous
people
in
the
amazon
so
seeing
the
children
there
so
sick,
seeing
rivers
running
black
with
oil
spills.
I
just
knew
that
you
know
it
was
wrong.
This
was
not
fair.
This
was
not
just.
Why
were
these
people
suffering?
A
But
climate
change,
it's
not
just
an
environmental
and
natural
problem.
It's
also
an
ethical
and
a
political
problem.
I
mean
these
issues
that
we
are
faced
with.
We
need
to
be
able
to
look
a
little
bit
further
out
than
the
little
bubble
that
we
find
ourselves
in
and
how
lucky
we
are
to
have
been
born
here
in
this
land,
where
we
don't
really
experience
extremes
of
temperatures.
A
But
if
you
look
at
how
dry
and
what's
happening
in
australia
and
in
california,
but
then
take
yourself
to
africa
and
places
where,
like
syria,
which
was
once
also
the
fertile
crescent,
and
now
they
can
no
longer
grow
food
there,
it's
turned
into
a
desert
and
the
people
are
moving.
Migration
has
happened
because
people
can't
grow
food
anymore,
it's
too
hot
to
live,
and
so
that's
what
we
will
start
to
see
more
and
more
of
is
people
on
the
move
looking
for
somewhere
to
live,
to
grow
food
and
to
to
bring
up
their
children.
A
So
the
people
that
are
most
affected
by
climate
change
are
the
poorest
are
those
that
that
live
on
the
edge
they
live
in
flood
plains.
They
live
in
shanty
towns.
They
live
in
coastal
areas
which
flood
as
well.
You
know
I've
met
many
people
that
live
on
the
coast
because
it's
free
to
live
fish
and
coconuts.
You
can
survive
so
these
people,
which
depend
totally
on
the
natural
resources.
A
A
That's
what
provides
water
for
people
and
for
agriculture
and
what's
happening
over
there
now
is
that
it's
getting
hotter
and
therefore
the
water
is
melting
quicker
and
from
that
there's
you
know
it's
getting
flooded
and
then,
after
the
floods,
it's
too
dry
to
grow
food,
and
it's
not
just
them
that
are
affected
by
the
food
shortages
and
when
it's
so
dry
from
the
droughts.
It's
us
over
here
as
well.
A
A
lot
of
our
food
is
imported,
so
they
also
you
know
the
poorest
of
people
don't
have
insurance,
so
when
they
do
lose
what
little
they
have
then
they're
unable
to
replace
it,
and
it's
these
people
that
are
most
being
affected
by
climate
change.
People
that
live
on
you
know
the
low
islands
of
the
world.
These
low-lying
islands,
like
the
maldives,
which
is
only
six
foot
above
sea
level,
and
already
you
know
their
leaders
are
having
to
look
at
moving
the
entire
population
of
the
whole
country
to
australia.
A
People
are
being
moved
off
of
their
lands.
The
water
is
rising
and
the
people
have
to
move
so
for
them
that
are
really
being
affected
right
now,
it's
not
in
some
distant
future,
but
you
know
this
is
actually
happening
now
and
many
of
these
people,
you
know,
have
never
been
the
cause
of
climate
change.
A
A
The
cause
of
of
you
know
the
problem
that
we're
facing
and
absolutely
in
some
ways.
Yes,
it
is.
We
somebody
sent
me
recently,
a
photograph
of
pears
that
were
it
said
you
know,
pears
in
syrup
and
on
the
packet
it
they
were
picked
in
argentina
and
packed
in
thailand
and
sold
in
tesco's
in
england.
A
We've
got
to
stop
and
really
start
to
question
this.
You
know
is
this:
actually,
okay
and
people
say
well,
you
know
the
africans
in
kenya.
They
need
to
have
the
you
know.
They
need
the
b
we
to
have
beans
all
year
round,
picked
in
in
africa
and
shipped
over
here
out
of
season
for
us,
but
actually
what
happens?
If
we
didn't
actually
buy
beans
from
africa?
Maybe
the
people
there
would
be
able
to
grow
food
for
themselves
rather
than
the
little
bits
of
fertile
land
which
is
used
to
send
food
over
to
us.
A
So
you
know
we
can
see
that
this
injustice,
which
is
happening
around
the
world,
the
haves
and
the
have-nots
and
the
idea
of
of
climate
justice
has
been
around
for
a
long
time
in
2000
was
the
first
time
that
it
was
seriously
spoken
about
at
the
hague
when
the
world
leaders
came
together
and
they
they
spoke
about
how
yes,
climate
change
was
a
rights
issue
as
well.
A
A
So
we
can
see
that
you
know
there
are
it's
starting
to
come.
You
know
we're
speaking
about
it
more
and
more,
and
you
know
even
legal
cases
on
climate
justice
are
also
being
tried.
In
america
there
was
21
children,
the
juliana
case
versus
the
united
states
of
america,
and
these
children
were
talking
about
their
own
life
and
liberty
in
the
future.
A
There
was
a
case
a
precedent
setting
case
in
the
netherlands,
where
they,
the
government
were
proved
to
be
not
doing
enough
and
not
reducing
global
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
and
so
this
was
one
of
the
first
cases
where
a
government
had
actually
lost
and
been
ordered
to
actually
do
more,
and
there
are
many
many
other
cases
around
the
world
in
denmark
in
norway,
in
new
zealand
in
switzerland
in
india,
many
countries
are
now.
A
A
So
you
know
there's
kind
of
this
myth
out
there
that
if
everyone's
responsible
well,
then
no
one's
responsible,
you
know
what
can
what
can
I?
What
can
one
person
just
do
this,
this
feeling
that
people
feel
very
disempowered?
They
feel
that
well,
one
person
really
can't
do
anything.
It's
up
to
the
governments,
it's
up
to
project
it's
up
to
everybody.
You
know
we're
looking
at
systemic
change
here.
Yes,
the
governments
have
got
to
act,
but
so
have
we
as
individuals,
society
legally,
economically
politically
on
all
levels.
A
There
really
has
to
be
change
and
when
we
look
at
the
ethics
of
climate
change
and
what's
happening-
and
you
know
what
are
the
principles
well,
first
of
all,
you
know
do
no
harm
prevention
of
harm,
and
I
think
that
you
know
most
of
us
could
agree
with
this,
that
that
has
to
be
a
leading
principle
to
do
no
harm.
A
Also
the
precautionary
approach,
where
you
know,
if
we
know
some
something's
wrong,
well,
don't
postpone,
and
we
need
to
take
action
and
equity
and
justice.
It
needs
to
be
fair
for
all
people
on
this
planet,
so
there
are
different
points
that
we
need
to
look
at.
We
know
that
we
need,
you
know
sustainable
development.
This
has
been
spoken
about
for
a
long
time
and
it's
obvious
that
all
people
need
food
and
water
and
energy,
and
that
has
to
be
you
know
a
basic
principle
when
we're
talking
about
you
know:
climate
justice
and
solidarity.
A
A
A
Why
would
people
you
know?
Why
would
they
not
hang
it
out?
I
said
well,
this
is
what
people
are
used
to
the
convenience
that
that's
just
what's
normal
in
our
world,
you
just
wash
and
dry
your
clothes
in
a
machine
and
the
machine
lasts
for
a
couple
of
years
and
then
the
machine
is
designed
to
break
it's
not
designed
to
last
forever
and
we
just
get
another
machine.
A
A
A
So
how
can
it
be
fair
because,
of
course,
everybody
in
the
world
wants
the
same?
You
know
time
saving
you
know
easy
convenient
gadgets
that
we
enjoy,
but
when
we
look
along
the
line-
and
we
see
that
it's
not
fair-
it's
not
fair
the
way
that
people
are
treated
in
mining
and,
unfortunately,
I've
had
a
lot
of
experience
with
seeing
this
firsthand.
A
A
A
A
We
must
all
do
our
part.
We
must
find
a
way
to
to
find
justice
in
the
world
social
justice
so
that
all
people
experience
a
good
life.
All
people
have
food
and
water
and
shelter
all
people
are
safe
and
not
harmed,
but
also
for
the
environment
that
nature
has
rights
to,
and
our
constant
greed
and
use
of
minerals
and
mining
is
also
not
fair.
A
So
we
also
use
a
lot,
the
word
sustainable,
and
what
what
does
that
mean?
What
is
it
to
be
to
have
you
know
a
sustainable
amount
to
have
sufficiency
to
have
enough.
It's,
like
gandhi,
said
once
that
there's
enough
for
everybody's
needs,
but
not
everybody's
greed,
we
can
share.
We
can
find
a
new
way
to
move
forward,
so
we
need
to
challenge
the
way
that
these
gadgets
are
made.
A
A
A
How
will
this
affect
them,
and
this
is
something
that
we
really
need
to
move
out
of
our
little
bubble,
where
we
are
here
in
worthing
in
sussex-
and
you
know
we
are
so
lucky
say
to
live
here-
where
we
don't
have
extreme
heat
or
cold,
we
don't
have
extreme
conditions,
our
government
kind
of
looks
after
us.
We
have
such
an
easy
life
here
in
comparison.
A
Leave
that
there
and
you
know,
hope
we
can
kind
of
think
a
bit
bigger
when
we're
looking
at
climate
change
that
yes,
you
know
it
is
and
will
affect
us
here
locally,
but
even
more
so
it
already
is
affecting
people
who
are
the
poorest
of
those
that
have
never
caused
it.
They
are
already
being
impacted
and
we
must
learn
to
make
decisions
for
them
as
well.
