The recent heavy rains caused severe flooding and caused huge damages, Floods hit hardest around the town of Houailou where rain has been battering since the weekend and two mudslides occurred and killing 5 persons and 11 missed. Anthony Lecren, member of the Government of New Caledonia, in charge of land development, customary affairs, ecology and sustainable development, speaks out the climate change disaster effects in South Pacific. ANTHONY LECREN MINISTER OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN NEW CALEDONIA SPEAKS OUT ON CLIMATE CHANGE DISASTROUS EFFECTS IN PACIFIC-------------------------------------------------------------------------- "On the occasion of this climatic phenomenon, we have deaths and this is the reality today of the Pacific, even if each state has its own problems". Explained Anthony Lecren, during a working session in the Senate in July 2015. Anthony Lecren, a member of the government, minister in charge of sustainable development, participated in the Climate Awareness Summit on 3 November in Fez. Morocco will then host the COP22. The World Summit of Awareness for Climate was initiated by Nicolas Hulot at the COP21 last year in Paris. This second meeting took place in Morocco, four days before the opening of the 22nd Conference of the Parties (COP22) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which will take place from 7 to 18 November in Marrakech. This large gathering also coincided with the entry into force of the Paris Climate Agreement, which exceeded the minimum threshold of 55 countries which ratified the text and accounted for 55% of greenhouse effect.------------------------------------------------------ The Summit of Consciences is a call for the mobilisation of everyone. "To help ourselves, to help our children, to save our fellow citizens on the other side of the world," said Anthony Lecren in his speech, in line with the declaration of the Oceania 22 Sustainable Development Summit , Which includes the Pacific States and Territories. The government member has also attended the COP22, with a Caledonian delegation, in Marrakech.

PARADOXICALLY PACIFIC ISLANDS ACCOUNT ONLY 0,03% OF GLOBAL CARBON EMISSIONS AND PRODUCE THE MOST GLOBAL OXYGEN---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As soon as he returned from Marrakech, Anthony Lecren, Minister of the Environment of New Caledonia, received several prizes from the Moroccan government, within the framework of COP22, in tribute to his initiatives in Caledonia, Especially the creation of the marine park, by this same minister, it arrives at the archipelago in full floods and just after the police riots related to the death of a young man kayak, two days before ... Anthony Lecren, who had gone himself, in Marrakech to bring the unique message of "A tree, a day and a life" to climate change on behalf of the 22 countries of the Pacific zone, is directly confronted with the collateral damage and direct consequences of the climate disruption when he went back to his country. A sad surprise awaited him after signing many deals with other countries during his roadshow at COP22, with the hope of better the preservation of the ecosystem and get really into the “adaptation“ process under the Paris agreement´s framework.

THE GLOBAL WARMING BELL HAS SOUNDED VERY TRAGICALLY IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC------------------------- The alarm of global warming has not only sounded but it is now becoming more and more close and dangerous by its torrential rains or cyclones increasingly intense and frequent in this area of “‹“‹the Pacific. The injustice is that it is this area that is both the least polluted of the Earth and at the same time, produces the greatest amount of oxygen to the rest of the planet, thanks to photosynthesis and phytoplankton.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paradoxically, islands and Pacific states account for only 0.03% of global carbon emissions and are hit hard by the consequences of global warming. On the other hand, more than 50% of the oxygen comes from the marine plankton either from the Pacific Ocean and photosynthesis from plants or from biodiversity. The injustice is blatant and all the more attractive because the disastrous effects appear to be more and more violent than closer, besides the more the oceans warm, months of oxygen is produced, which could inevitably lead to an Oxygen Content of most Zones by the 2030s, according to the bio-scientists. The decrease of dissolved oxygen in the world's oceans is one of the most pernicious effects of climate change that we have caused during the industrial era. It's one of those hidden monsters in the global warming cabinet that, Steve Pacala, export scientist, is talking about. “The kind of monster you really do not want him to escape; It's an apocalyptic monster “¦“ He said The Deoxygenated Oceans are the Great Reaper of Mass Extinctions Caused by Global Warming; This is what Exterminates Most Species. This is an equation that is both unfair and worrying for the islands and states of the Pacific. This is why the consortium of 17 South Pacific nations meets regularly (the most recent by Oceania 22) to bring this message both peaceful and vital to preserve their biodiversity, preserve the ecosystem and their local populations. It is also to preserve the rest of the planet from which it derives the highest oxygen content of this region and, at the same time, the least polluting of the Earth“¦/
