Hello Haruna

I hope you are following Copenhagen climate summit with keen interest. It is a new momentum for global advocacy for environmental justice. Just wander if the Gambia's dictator will appear in the summit given the fact that Gambia is threaten with global warning. The geo-politics of the Gambia river basin leading formation of OMVG is a hydro-political issue of the four countries that share that natural resource. Climate change is increasing the salinity level of river Gambia and thus threatening fertile rice growing ecologies along the River Gambia. Most of Banjul is along the sea level along with lot of areas in Western Gambia. National efforts to face salt water intrusion along many areas along the River Gambia through building dikes did not yield any friutful result. Poor is causing higher dependency on ecological result. Since coming into power there is no even political will to designate a national park. Very efforts done to protect Gambia's fauna and flora was done by PPP Government. National Environment Agency of the Gambia under the office of the president was only reduce giving only advice and thus undertake any environment and development project or programme to address our national agenda to drive into development paradigms of sustainability. When it comes to issues of environmental politics, our political animals are negated no issues of green or ecological politics so it is not a political agenda for them.

With our national energy crisis every regime that comes alway dream about transforming River Gambia as a source of energy supply without critically evaluating its environmental impact or source benefit analysis. There is not much done to address geo-political issues of surrounding the management of Gambia River Basin that floats along Senegal,G Bissau,G Conkary and Gambia. fFinancing for climate change adoptation in reality is the respnsible of developed economies. But any deal in Copenhagen next week for financing climate change adoptation should not negate participatory democracy for social and environmental justice. The political reality of countries of Gambia River Basin is marked by decedance. You don't think they should don't learn from Mali.
