No action is too small to save our planet

A protest for climate action at COP17

Welcome to the Radio Workshop!

The latest climate change conference COP17 ended without any many achievements. While world leaders failed to agree on a new solution to global warming, there are many ordinary people like you and I who are doing something about it everyday. We hear from them in this episode of the Radio Workshop and how climate change affects their lives.
