DEVELOPMENT DILEMMA ARCHIVES
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2009

With less than 10 days left for the cop15 to start, there is both optimism and skepticism running deeply in South Asia. From the Himalayas to the Coastlines of South Asia, voices are emerging from the vulnerable population to the NGO experts and government officials. Panos Radio South Asia brings to you this special edition of Development Dilemma to air the voices of the South Asians on what they can expect from the world leaders. These voices were collected during a climate change road trip with South Asian journalists organized by UK government's Department for International Development recently in November. We have ordinary South Asians, climate change experts, scientists and government officials sharing their views. We have with us farmers from Jomsom in Nepal, Muzafarpur from India and Chittagong of Bangladesh. Also sharing their voices include some prominent climate change scientists – Saleemul Haq (SH) and Atiq Rahman (AR) from Bangladesh, expert Jayashree Roy (JR) of Kolkata and senior government official of Nepal Batu Krishna Upreti (BKU). Mayor of Kolkata, Bikashranjan Bhattacharya also speaks his mind. (30:00)
