As environment ministers from around
the world
gather in Marrakech
to finalise the
Kyoto
Protocol, a Greenpeace team on Mount Kilimanjaro spoke with journalists
covering the climate negotiations in Marrakech live via a video conference.
According to Greenpeace, Mount Kilimanjaro, one of the few places in
the world where ice and snow can be found on the equator, could lose its
entire ice field by 2015 because of climate change. This loss symbolises
the fact that climate change may be felt first and hardest by the environment
and people of Africa.
