On the 30th of October 2014, the Southern Voices Programme hosted a seminar in Copenhagen, Denmark where the lessons learned from Phase II of the program were discussed and where four partner networks gave presentations. 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. The Southern Voices Regional Facilitators were in Copenhagen at the end of October 2014 to attend the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. To coincide with the Regional Facilitators visit, stakeholders from DANIDA and the Southern Voices Consortium attended a seminar where the Regional Facilitators presented outcomes from Phase 2 and the Southern Voices consultant, Rajah Jarrah, discussed learnings from the programme.
