Climate Change : Voices from the Developing World
Speakers from Kenya and El Salvador offer powerful perspectives on a global issue.
Climate change is a global justice issue. Carbon emissions from rich countries have contributed most to climate change, yet it is the poor in developing countries who are being hit hardest by its consequences. If we are to truly face up to the challenge of climate change, the voices and ideas of those in developing countries need to be heard.This spring,Trocaire are offering the public throughout Ireland a chance to hear from two speakers Dr. Dominic Walubengo and Martha Yvette Aguilar, who have a unique insight and expertise on the real impact of climate change – coming from two of the countries directly affected.
