Climate change challenge for ETimor

Last Updated: 23 hours 33 minutes ago

A United Nations-sponsored climate change awareness campaign has been launched in East Timor.

The UN says the $US200,000 National Adaptation Program aims to foster understanding on how climate changes are affecting people's lives and what can be done to help.

An introductory meeting on the two-year program was held in Dili this week.

It was attended by about 80 people, including representatives of government, donors, international agencies, students and non-government organisations.

East Timor is vulnerable to a range of natural calamities, including drought, flood and soil erosion
