00:12Live to Turkey, Antalya, in the context of the COP31, where the Apten President,
00:20Dersi Rodriguez, is addressing the audience. The Apten President arrived yesterday in the
00:28context of this COP31, the UN Climate Conference, to represent Venezuela and to advocate for
00:42the climate change, for resilience in the climate. The Apten President is delivering
00:51now a speech in front of the audience in Turkey, Antalya.
01:02We're listening to the statements. We believe that there is no unavoidable contradiction in
01:11the development of energy, because that third transition doesn't turn off an economy, instead
01:21transform them. We defend our sovereign right to power up our hydrocarbon industry as a big model for the
01:35development national development, but also we know it is possible to grow taking care of the environment.
01:53We exposed recently in the UN Assembly the necessity of solving the energy problem.
02:06security supplies, affordable prices for the development and sustainable environment. Today more than 600 million people
02:25people don't have access to energy. The decarbonization cannot make poverty much more profound and cannot punish the most vulnerable.
02:38It must be fair, viable and affordable. Mr. President, we talk with facts. Our country comes reducing the intensity of
02:51burning for more than four years.
02:53consecutive years. In Venezuela, the emissions have been reduced even more. This requires international cooperation, resources and respect for sovereignty
03:08and the national circumstances.
03:11That's why we reiterate all the countries associated to accomplish all the agreements in correspondence to the agreement of common
03:30responsibilities.
03:31The developing countries need more than 3,000 million dollars to adapt, but they receive less than that. That bridge
03:45is also a problem. From the Venezuela that is rising, we advocate for a climate resilience and we reaffirm our
03:57determination to contribute to Mother Earth and the
04:01harmony with nature and the well-being of our people to move forward hand-by-hand. Today, oceans absorb 91
04:10% of the heat of the planet and over 60% of the superfers experimented a heat wave. That is,
04:27drastic change is
04:29to affect our oceans, and more. This is affecting our oceans, endangering our marine ecosystems, fishing, and more.
04:40That's why I informed you. I have decided to create, as Uptim President, the plan Venezuela Leave. To create all
04:53programs that allowed us to protect the
04:59forests, oceans, Venezuela live is a future because protect nature is protect
05:09life or we are all together or life is going to end. I want to finish with the
05:18verse of a poet, Turkish poet, that says how little needs a man to live, a little
05:27of soil, a little of heaven, don't allow that small piece of soil to be extinguished.
05:35Thank you very much. And those were the statements of the acting
05:43president of Venezuela representing the country in the context of the COP 31st in
05:50Turkey, Antalya, where the acting president arrived yesterday and was advocating for
05:56a common ground on all the nations in order to achieve the agreements for
06:05climate resilience to avoid the extinguish, to extinguish the process of the
06:15climate change that is heating the oceans and affecting the fisheries and
06:20fishermen and affecting all the nations. She was advocating for the united work of
06:29all nations in order to achieve these agreements. She also highlighted that she
06:35is about to create a program that is called Venezuela Live in order to oversee the
06:45forests and the oceans in Venezuela in order to create a development program to build and to
06:55fight against the climate change. Those were the statements at this hour of the
06:59acting president of Venezuela in Turkey, Antalya, in the context of the COP 31st that
07:05is taking place there from November 9 to 17. We will keep you informed about this and more in a
07:14coming new brief. Stay tuned with us.
