The freezing weather across Europe and its human toll must teach us all to be responsive to Climate Change and its deleterious consequences. When it freezes, it harms and kills. When it's heat-waves, it hurts and kills! Both the people and their fellow global villagers are concerned. We do deeply feel for them.
Let the Cancun Summit deliver on its promise : a safer, healthier world for us and future generations! That's the barest minimum we would accept. No more excuses, please. We are harming our planet! Are world leaders listening? Do they not see?
Now to some concrete steps by the EU-Africa Cooperation/Council: Build Holiday Camps, Homes and Resorts in Africa! Spread/locate them across the continent. Do this right away so Europeans can come over for Winter Escape & Summer Rendezvous! Make it an ambitious 10-year Intervention. It is good health, it is life-saving, it is sound business, and it is futuristic governance!
As the governments mull and pull this agenda, let the private sector and civil society bodies roll out templates and pilots. Action is overdue - long overdue.
