twelve tonnes each. Copenhagen must deliver a fair deal to Africa and
this means real effort to cut carbon emissions in rich countries and
significant new commitments of money to help Africa deal with the
problem."

end to human trafficking and modern-day slavery..., including child labor
and forced labor, is to know, and to tell others.
