AFP in the news

New AFP Foundation project in preparation of COP21

Journalists interested in the science of climate change and its political, social and economic fallout are invited to watch a series of videos launched by the AFP Foundation.

Produced by journalists working for AFP’s environment reporting service and AFP-TV, the videos contain background information and interviews with experts.

 

The videos are part of a project on climate and sustainable development commissioned by the United Nations Foundation.

 

The first in the series examines the possibility of tackling climate change through geo-engineering, an idea that has divided the scientific community. It can be accessed via the website http://www.fondation.afp.com/content/top-cop21-en.

 

A total of 12 videos will be produced in English and 12 in French before the start of the COP21 conference in Paris on November 30. The project will also include a series of hour-long live question-and-answer sessions with specialist AFP reporters.
