President Obama is set to speak at Midway on Thursday to announce $40 million in programs to help countries that are vulnerable to climate change. After his announcement the president will be headed off to attend the G20 summit in China to hopefully join the agreement made in Paris last year. The new promos consist of USAID which will give $9 million to government to help create polices for climate change. Countries that will benefit from this are Micronesia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Tonga and few others. The United States will also give $15 million toward disaster-risk reduction initiatives in the region. This reminds me of when Seth came and talked to our class about climate change and how some islands or costal communities are in danger if being flooded.
