Climate Change and Poverty Diagnosis Program 2010

Over the past year, Abibimman Foundation has expanded from promoting the MDGs and leading anti-poverty campaigns, by running two events focused on poverty and climate change in Ghana. With the support of GCAP, WWF and other organizations, Abibimman led a series of Climate Justice Hearings in October 2009, traveling around the country learning about and publicizing the effects of climate change in different communities. In December 2009, Abibimman led an International Human Rights Day event with the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) to highlight the challenges of those living in slums in Tema, and how climate change is adding further difficulties to those trying to attain their basic rights.
