Live report from the inside of COP20 in Lima, Peru
Live report from the inside of COP20! Mr. CHAN Beng Seng and Mr. Alvin KAN of Asia and Pacific Alliance of YMCAs are right now attending the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of Parties (COP 20) in Lima, Peru.
From farmers and indigenous people in the Andes and Patagonia, victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Phillipinnes and climate-migrants in the Pacific region, we heard the real-life stories pointing to one common issue! We call for justice for people who suffer the most from the effect, even more so in the future, but contributed the least to climate change.
