Morocco launches "Climate Train" to raise awareness about climate change

Xinhua, October 21, 2016 Adjust font size:

Morocco launched on Thursday a "Climate Train" exhibition which seeks to raise awareness of climate change in the country.

As part of the country's effort to prepare for the 22nd Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 22) , slated for Nov. 7-18 in Marrakech, this travelling exhibition aims to give information and open a debate on climate all over Morocco.

Started from the Rabat-Agdal train station, the train will stop in 12 Moroccan cities before reaching Marrakech where it will be open to the public during the 11-day COP22.

The compartments of the train, which provides an intelligent and interactive presentation on multimedia mediums, serves an educational and entertaining event on the causes and impact of climate change notably in Africa and Morocco.

The eight-compartment train includes a scientific exhibition, a "village-innovation-partners" area, a conference zone and a reception. Endit
