Youth voices on climate change and COP16
Listen to the entire show
Welcome to the Radio Workshop Podcast!
Today’s podcast has been created in partnership with Unicef’s “Unite for Climate” campaign. On it, we’ll hear young people in Zambia and around the world talking about climate change — what it is to them, how it affects their lives, and what they’re doing about it. We’ll also hear their advice to the world’s leaders coming together at the end of November for the COP16 meeting in Mexico.

Welcome to the show!
Radio Workshop host Mbali Vilakazi welcomes listeners to the show.
The Radio Workshop broadcasts every Saturday at 12 noon on SAFM. Visit SAFM’s website for information about how to find their frequency in your area.
First we’ll hear recommendations from youth climate ambassadors to the world’s leaders at last year’s COP15. But what is COP, you may ask? We talk about this and other ABC’s of climate change.
We’d love to hear from you—send us an email at info@radioworkshop.org!
