Here, There, Everywhere

My musings on travel -- and other things! Working for a Digital Media company, I sometimes mention clients, but it means I get to write about travel a lot, so it suits me fine! Mostly, though, this will be an eclectic place for all my travel/world interests.

Dinner Party in the Waves — Oxfam at COP17

To highlight the effect of climate change on food production, Oxfam staged a dinner party in the sea. It was their opening presentation at the COP17 conference, where United Nations leaders have gathered to discuss climate change. The charity is seeking to pressure the leaders to maintain promises they have previously made with the Kyoto Protocol, and make real the promise of $100 million to help those affected adapt to climate change. This comes at a particularly relevant time when hundreds of thousands have been hit by the terrible drought in Somalia, fleeing to neighbouring countries to seek refuge.
