The lives of vulnerable people and nations are at risk because of global climate change. Changes in global climate will affect those living in developing nations most directly because they depend on the surrounding physical environment to supply their needs and have limited ability to cope to climate variability and extremes. For these reasons, communities across Africa must have a voice in determining global policies to mitigate and adapt to global climate change.
In late September, African delegates will arrive in the U.S. to meet with United Nations officials in New York to encourage the United States to take a lead in the post-Kyoto negotiations and to make sure the voices of people in Africa are heard. Progress on climate change can only happen if there are international agreements where all participate and where all voices are heard. Stand in solidarity with our African sisters and brothers by signing the Welcome Letter that will be presented to the African delegation when they come to the U.S.
