It has been a rather unfriendly one and a half day of stay in Copenhagen. The extreme cold and strong winds have conspired with very high cost of almost everything the malls to ensure that we remain indoors.

I and a colleague of mine Emmanuel Okella who works with Radio Simba in Kampala jetted into Copenhagen from Entebbe through London, on Saturday afternoon.

We are part of the Climate Change Media Partnership (CCMP) that is sponsoring over 40 journalist fellows from the developing world with the view of increasing the coverage of the forthcoming climate change negotiations starting December 7, 2009, from a developing world perspective.
