2011 Special Broadcasts / COP 17

The 17th Conference of the Parties (COP 17) to the United Nations Conference on Climate Change will take place from November 28 to December 9 in Durban, South Africa. As in previous years and since 2007, Real World Radio will do a special coverage of the climate conference on the ground. While industrialized nations pressure for agreements that will release them from responsibility towards the climate crisis they have caused, social movements from all over the world will arrive in Durban to demand justice and real solutions. Real World Radio’s goal is to follow the agenda of the people affected by climate change, such as peasants, indigenous, fisherfolk, as well as environmentalists and women’s movements and other social organizations that support them in their struggle for climate justice.
