COP21 - FoE(HK) x RTHK
|
|
|
|
From 30 November to 11 December, world leaders
convened in Paris to reach a climate agreement to limit the average
global surface temperature increase of 2°C over the
pre-industrial average. In collaboration with RTHK channel “精靈1點”, FoE(HK) has launched a radio series on COP21 (氣候警報21). For two weeks from Monday to Friday, we bring
the audience up to speed on what climate change is, why it is
necessary for us to take action, what governments aim to do, and
how COP21 is important.
