 Durban, 7 December 2011 – The Angolan Environment minister, Maria de Fátima Jardim, is addressing on Wednesday afternoon in Durban, South Africa, the High Level Follow-up Meeting under the ongoing 17th UN Conference on Climate Change.

In the forum, opened on Tuesday, the minister will reiterate the continuation of Kyoto Protocol and appeals to member states, mainly the developing and industrialised countries, to reduce the emissions of greenhouse effect gas (GEE), and thus have a good environment for the current and future generations.
