COP 17 Letter by Marlan Padayachee December 2011
AMID all the high drama, dissents, debates, discourses at the Durban COP 17 Climate Change conference, including a strong comeback to the frontline and fringes by civil society, non-governmental groups and young and old activists, it is hoped that the ‘Durban Protocol’ will give birth to a powerful commitment for a broader, worldwide movement to encourage people to get involved in green politics, issues, development and socio-economic sustainability. Within this context of the diverse landscape of this COP 17, let me share a perennial Native-American quote to inspire how we can navigate the future: : “We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.”
