In only 9 sleeps, over 300 youth delegates will have arrived in Durban to attend the 7th Conference of the Youth (COY7), which aims to mobilise, unite and build capacity among the youth to strengthen their voice about climate change.
How will they get from their accommodation to the conference at Howard College?
And beyond that, how will the expected 20 000 international delegates arriving for COP17 (the 17th Conference of the Parties) commute from their accommodation and side events to the conference at the ICC?
Well, where there's money to be made and destinations to reach, it wont take long for the taxis to provide an extra taxi or two along their existing routes, or even deviate slightly from their existing routes to offer their services. Informal public transport can be terribly efficient! Now we just need to let them know that it's happening!!!
