00:00As the world faces a record-breaking Super El Nino, the United Nations has warned that Mozambique is ranked as
00:07one of the most vulnerable countries in Africa.
00:10The powerful weather system is projected to bring severe heatwaves below normal rainfall and heightened drought risks across southern Africa.
00:22Mozambique is among the countries most vulnerable to climate change on the planet, despite having contributed very little to it.
00:30And in the coming months, in the context of the 2026 Super El Nino, prolonged droughts, cyclones and floods are
00:37predicted.
00:40This latest climate warning comes as Mozambique faces acute economic strain following catastrophic flooding earlier this year.
00:48Moguero called on multinational companies operating in the country to avoid environmental damage.
00:58Also, it is necessary to define very clear obligations for private companies, particularly multinational companies,
01:05that they have a responsibility to respect human rights and avoid foreseeable environmental and climate damage.
01:12This is particularly true for fossil fuel companies.
01:20Three and a half million people are already experiencing acute food insecurity in Mozambique.
01:26The two other most vulnerable countries in Africa have been named as Malawi and Madagascar.
