Each year, representatives of a variety of nations unite with one purpose: to spur international action to combat climate change.
However, in the 20 years that these meetings have been taking place, the international community has yet to reach a definitive agreement. The topics covered are many, but the most important demands are that the nations commit to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions, and that they assist in the creation of a joint economic fund that will help to mitigate the impacts of climate change in developing countries.
With the purpose of informing and representing civil society, AIDA‘s team will be present in Lima to take part in the activities of the COP20 and the People’s Summit.
We will be closely following the themes of climate finance, the Green Climate Fund, human rights and climate change, dams and fracking.
Thank you for following along with us!
