Whilst global delegates assemble at the international climate summit, parallel activities are occurring nearby to enhance voices often excluded from official discussions.

This outcome would prevent coming ages a environment with sustainable food production, protected shorelines and survivable temperatures.
Developing Countries Demand Fair Shift
Emerging economies, in the form of the international grouping, have demanded a "equitable change system" to coordinate finance and help states shift to a low-carbon future.
