WWF was UNICEF's special guest during a workshop debate on climate change, one of the public events that marked the "La semaine des Nations Unies", from October 19 to 24. WWF was represented by Tiana Ramahaleo, head of Conservation Science / Species Programme.

The workshop started with the projection of the film "Climate witness in Itampolo (South-west)", followed by a presentation by representatives from WHO on the impacts of climate change on health around the world. The film was very well received and constituted a good warm-up for the exchanges. The latter focused mainly on WWF's policy and position on adaptation, the impacts of climate change on cattle farming and the need to have educational material to spread the "message" to sensitize the youth.
