On the 30th of October, the Southern Voices Programme will be hosting a seminar in Copenhagen, Denmark where the lessons learned from Phase II of the program will be discussed, and presentations will also be given by four partner networks involved in the programme.

Over three years from 2011 to mid 2014 the Southern Voices on Climate Change programme supported around 20 climate policy networks in the South in their efforts to influence climate change policies at national, regional and international levels. With funding from the Danish Climate Envelope (Klimapuljen) the project was implemented through a consortium including Sustainable Energy Denmark, IBIS, DanChurchAid, CARE Danmark (lead agency), Climate Action Network International and IIED – the International Institute for Environment and Development.
