Denmark gets ball rolling' at UN ahead of protests as poor nations call for greater collective commitment

Youth groups in Africa are preparing to embark on a series of climate demonstrations on Friday to highlight the problem of loss and damage" to poor countries blighted by climate breakdown, as only one rich country has so far stepped up with funding for the problem.

Actions will take place on Friday in Ghana, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Togo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with more to follow in some other African nations over the weekend.
