Youth raise money for adaptation
Posted at 10:08PM on Dec 17, 2009 by Devon Willis
Today Canadian Youth took it upon themselves to fundraise money for adaptation in developing countries. Distressed by the inaction of developed countries, the youth hit the streets of Copenhagen, playing music and singing Christmas Carols, such as the Twelve Days of Copenhagen, asking passersby to help close the gap between what developed countries have committed and what developing countries are demanding.
They made a total of 100 kroner (one man generously donated 50). Furthermore, they were interviewed by "the CNN of Venezuela" and by a documentary filmmaker who is working on collecting information about the activities at the COP beyond carbon emissions reductions.
