Description: November 7, 2016, the 22nd Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change began.

This program features the reporting of Laila Ndagire from community radio Mama FM in Uganda, who presented live and pre-produced content for the conference’s Climate Radio station.
Host(s): Grainne Delaney
