DE ABREU, Alcinda. Mozambique Minister for Coordination of Environmental Affairs condemns "those that did nothing to keep the planet safe, and as promoters of climate genocide"

Alcinda António de Abreu (Minister for Coordination of Environmental Affairs, Mozambique) statement at the Lima Climate Conference, Lima, December 2014 (2014): “Mozambique wants to express its full alignment with the statement made by the representatives of African group, G77 and China and LDCS Countries. Excellencies The world is being witnessing the impacts of climate change almost every day with people dying or displaced and communities losing their livelihood and properties resulting in more people becoming vulnerable and poorest. The science has been telling us that if we continue to increase emissions, in the near future no single country will stand safe from the negative impact of climate change. Today we have the honor and privilege to revert this trend by adopting and implementing decisions that will stabilize and revert the current trend. None of us would like to be appointed by the present and the future generations as part of those that did nothing to keep the planet safe, and as promoters of climate genocide” (Alcinda António de Abreu, Mozambique statement at the Lima Climate Conference, Lima, December 2014: https://unfccc.int/files/meetings/lima_dec_2014/statements/application/pdf/cop20_hls_mozambique.pdf ).
