There is a renaissance of gas, but there has to be a full transition to other forms of energy, and Germany has to be in full support of this. Mizutori demands more ambition for mitigation adaptation, that vulnerability is reduced, more comprehensive risk management and more local resilience. The world should be covered in early warning systems in the next few years.
Mwikali feels that one of the most disappointing parts is that young people are not taken seriously enough. “They should be seen as a resource and equal partners. Young people should be taken into consult. Give them more power for decisions!” Everybody, women, children, and refugees, should be part of the communication, too. That would stop the danger of speaking in silos and nobody would be left behind. An intergenerational partnership should be the goal. Mizutori also emphasizes that the people who are especially affected by disasters, have to be heard and have to be part of the solution.
