The Moroccan organisers of the 2016 UN climate summit are promising to use the gathering to ‘brainstorm’ solutions with leaders from cities, regions and business.
“We’re giving a signal to developing countries to show we are really working to make it happen,” said Rabat’s special envoy on climate change, Hakima El Haite.
“The COP22 [UN conference] should answer those African and small island state voices who are asking for urgent action to survive.”2
A ‘solutions conference’ planned for the sidelines of the UN’s annual climate gathering will target “problem solving, brainstorming, and global co-creation” said a statement.
