In the lead-up to Copenhagen, RAN Ghana participated in a forum to discuss their country’s negotiating position for the international climate talks and what their government can do about climate change. This report comes from RAN Ghana’s John Akwetey.
It was December 2nd, and the weather looked very bright as the sun rose and the breeze blew from the ocean side towards the Accra International Conference Center, the venue of the 2009 National Climate Change Forum.
As the delegates arrived at the venue to kick start the talk, I talked with some of the delegates about their expectations. I was not very impressed with their answers. It looked to me like a lot of them don’t have any plan ahead of the National Climate Change forum. At about 9:58 am, the Vice President H.E. John Dramani Mahama arrived at the venue, but prior to his arrival was the Minister of Environment, Science and Technology, Ms. Sherry Ayittey and other dignitaries.
Ghana's National Climate Change Forum
The Event started on a very soft note with an opening prayer, followed by the introduction of the Chairman for the occasion. The theme for the event was Climate Change: Everybody’s Concern. At the end of the forum, most of the speakers’ views were centered on the negotiation position that the COP-15 summit in Copenhagen should result in developed countries providing money to the developing countries to help them reduce their own emissions.
I was not fully in support of that idea – or rather, I didn’t think it was sufficient. As RAN Ghana works to protect our environment and human rights issues, we believed that Climate change has great significance for sustainable development plans, life and livelihoods in Ghana and across Africa. Many developing countries, including Ghana, are unable to cope with current climate variability, let alone cope with the medium and longer-term impacts of projected changes. Floods and droughts, Food Supply, Human Health, Settlements and Infrastructure, Desertification, Water Resource, Natural Resource Management and Biodiversity for example, continue to challenge the success of poverty reduction programs since relief and rehabilitation effort reduce budget, which sometimes received huge financial support from developed countries, that should have been used for developmental purposes. The developed countries should not only make available financial and technical assistance for developing countries but, they themselves should also cut down their greenhouse gas emission so that the money and assistance can go a long way to help mitigate the problem of climate change.

Сиквел переносит нас в девяностые годы прошлого века. После событий оригинала прошло 12 лет. Одинокий молодой человек по имени Дарен – протагонист второй части – знакомится с милой девушкой Анжелиной. Они случайно встретились в фотоателье маленького города в Новой Англии. Заметив, что за Анжелиной кто-то следит, герой решает выяснить, что происходит… Здесь и начинаются его приключения.Явно поторопилась Gas Powered Games, когда утверждала в январе, что выпустит свой новый проект Demigod без участия посторонних компаний. На кусок аппетитного пирога позарилась Stardock Software, через неделю запускающая сервис Impulse – эдакий аналог Steam, но со своими отличительными чертами. Со слов издателя, распространяться Demigod будет эксклюзивно через эту систему. Публичное бета-тестирование игры начнется летом, а релиз состоится в феврале 2009 года.

“I was not fully in support of that idea – or rather, I didn’t think it was sufficient…”
I love that. Africa and Africans cannot alway depend on charity. But isntead development capital. What is called “Help for Self-Help”
With so much problems facing Africans.
Since now that we know about climate problems, our development projects will take the lead along enviromental friendly lines.
This is to say that there is not much emission in Africa compared to the developed nations. They had neglected us in Africa and intentionally left us in poverty. Asking them to provide money to clean their dirt – is really not enough! But when they offer investment funds we shall know what to do about climate warming up.
“. . . the developed countries should not only make available financial and technical assistance for developing countries but, they themselves should also cut down their greenhouse gas emission . . .”
Good work, good thoughts I wish you all the best in this your duties!
