Philippine climate activist starts global trek
Manila: An internationally renowned Filipino environmental activist on Wednesday started a journey to climate change hotspots around the world to press for an accord at a United Nations summit later this year.
Naderev “Yeb” Sano — a former envoy to UN climate talks who came to world attention in 2013 by fasting to highlight the threat of global warming — said he hopes his “People’s Pilgrimage” will put pressure on delegates to reach agreement at the UN Conference on Climate Change in December.
