VOICED : Benin looks for protection from climate change

Cotonou, a city in West Africa, faces severe pollution issues affecting local fishermen due to waste from a large market. Nikola Oolo, a French envoy, is working to secure Benin's commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change impacts, such as rising sea levels, exacerbate poverty and inequality in Benin. The country, with low industrial emissions, seeks to transition to renewable energy but requires international support. The Green Climate Fund aims to help developing countries like Benin adapt to climate change, with hopes for increased funding at the Paris conference.
