The Climate Debt Agents makes an important and prominent campaign in Brussels while the prime ministers of EU discuss the climate. With the message “EU pay your climate debt” the Agents in their red suits makes a sensational appearance in the streets of Brussels. See the picture in the Danish newspaper Politiken today (October 30^th) and read the article “EU takes an important step in the climate negotiations” (EU tager et vigtigt skridt i klimaforhandlingerne).

Read the interviews with the Agents in the article “De rykker for 42 milliader euro” (They reminds for 42 billions of Euro), published in the danish newspaper Politiken today October 28^th.

Watch the Climate Debt Agents as they do their spectacular walk through the streets of Copenhagen.

Right now the Agents are in Brussels to communicate their message to the politicians. Follow the events and performances on this site.

The Climate Debt Agents in Denmark are preparing events, work shops and information meetings that will take place in Copenhagen, Odense, Århus and Bruxelles the next following weeks.

We will inform you at this web site and on Facebook about how you can take part in the events.

Yesterday 11 Climate Debt Agents arrived in Kenya after 12hours of traveling. The journey was quit interesting the high light being a meeting with Connie Hedegaard in CPH. She promised to respond to our mails, so for all the Climate Debt Agents at home start writhing! (a video will be posted later on).

Today we had our first meeting with Forest Action Network (FAN), an NGO that has been working against deforestation in Kenya since 1994. Doing our visits it became clear that we have come to the right continent when it comes to mapping climate change. 1/5 of all known species of plants, mammals and bird are located at east Africa. All of which are depending on the eco – system that are now being radically change because of climate change. There is less water in the rivers, the ice at Kilimanjaro are melting, the Enso rain is getting more extreme and coral reefs are being destroyed. The different species are struggling to adapt.

The humans living in villages are highly depending on nature and the eco-system to be continues. More people are suffering from malnutrition because their crops don’t grow anymore. The raising temperatures are making malaria spread to all parts of the country.

Energized after the interesting and informative day we can’t wait to start our fieldwork in cooperation with FAN in order to get as much information on the table as possible before COP15.

We will be posting more short news as they unfold so follow us on twitter and chek out our facebook group.

In less than a week from now 13 Climate Debt Agents will be heading for Kenya to gather evidence, deliver training and meet up with fellow activists. Follow our journey extensively here on this blog as we move along!

Among other things the program will include a visit at the Kelele blogger conference, 6 different communicties in the Arid and Semi Arid Lands severely affected by climate change – and a week-long training camp with youth from 4 different countries.
