African Countries Say Draft Climate Deal "Unbalanced" 
------------------------------------------------------


 
The destruction in the Philippines comes as climate negotiators convene
in Bonn, Germany, ahead of United Nations climate talks in Paris next
month. Former Philippines negotiator Yeb Saño is currently walking from
Rome to Paris on a "people's pilgrimage" for climate action. African
countries have objected to the latest draft of the global climate
agreement, saying it is "unbalanced" and does not do enough to aid
poorer countries hit hardest by climate change.
