Friends of the Earth led a series of actions today in the UN climate conference in solidarity with African countries who demand that Kyoto targets for emissions reductions are protected.
Speaking to the cameras after the second action Nnimmo Bassey, Chair of Friends of the Earth International said the rich countries were "using dirty negotiating tactics..trying to change the rules and tilt them in their own favour."
African countries stood up to these tactics and during the action Friends of the Earth International chanted "We stand with Africa. Don't kill Kyoto targets"
