Copenhagen Climate Change Summit 2009
VOXAFRICA.COM | 13-12-2009 15:44
This week over a hundred world leaders descend on Copenhagen in a bid to save the world from the threat of climate change. They're under pressure to agree to cut carbon emissions by 25-40% below 1990 levels by 2020, and to stop the earth's temperature from rising by more than 2% above pre-industrial levels.
Can this summit really deliver for Africa, and is the continent speaking with one voice?
Studio guests: DR AMA BINEY, Historian and Pan-Africanist, SIMON TRACE from PRACTICAL ACTION UK, and DR ZEREMARIAM FRE from Pastoral and Environmental Network in the Horn of Africa (PENHA) and University College London.
