JAMAICA 2019
|
5 June 2022 - 13 years ago (2009), the Voices for Climate Change Education project produced Jamaica's most memorable and popular Climate Action song - 'Global Warning', with artistes communicating the urgency to local and international audiences. UNDP provided financial support for the song and music video production as well as training for artistes. This World Environment Day2022, Grub Cooper, the song's producer, and a new generation of artistes walk down memory lane, and discuss how they can amplify their activism to meet the challenges of today's climate emergency.
