Christian Aid at the Nairobi climate change conference

Against a backdrop of poverty, failing rains and increasing drought, delegates from 189 countries are meeting in Nairobi, Kenya to discuss climate change. Christian Aid is there too, urging the world’s environment ministers and their climate change negotiators to agree a new framework for rapidly and dramatically cutting carbon emissions to safeguard people’s lives and livelihoods in the future.
