Congratulations to Raymond Chieng in Malaysia who is the winner of our Climate Change competition!

He answered all questions correctly and wins €150!!

Here are Raymond’s answers:

1. averted
2. set
3. World Health Organisation
4. solar and wind energies
5. participation by several different countries (usually three or more countries)
6. infringed
7. pledged
8.I am quite pessimistic about this because the economy of developing countries is heavily dependant upon logs and oil palm which are destroying our forests and fossil fuels which is the cheapest means of energy source. Financial help from developed countries is necessary for them to adopt expensive new technologies.
