World wide Climate Campaign

Launching a global climate campaign the green parties of five continents will end the second Global Green congress from 1 to 4 May 2008 in the Kenyan capital Nairobi. In four days of workshops and debate they’ll phrase a strong message that, from economical reforms to social consequences and conflicts caused by fuel and water shortage, covers all green solutions to the planet’s most urgent problem.

Green Belt
