2015 D&C Days - in just six seconds
One of the features of the 2015 Development & Climate Days (D&C Days) was the use of interactive and visual elements, and these were captured in a series of six-second Vines - including the bug eating!
- This year's Development & Climate (D&C) Days conference during the UN climate negotiations in December 2015 delivered "tough talk on poverty and climate" and focused on the key transitions needed to tackle climate change and eradicate poverty by 2030

Participants in Development & Climate Days focus on "bold action needed now"Some 200 people gathered in Paris on Saturday for the 13th annual Development & Climate Days to debate how to achieve 'Zero poverty, zero emissions'. Discussions at this practitioner-led event centred on the need for bold and immediate action to tackle the challenges of climate impacts on the poor and to seize the opportunities presented by climate compatible development.
May we suggest a cricket crostini? Mealworm chocolates?The event was partly a panel discussion and partly a cooking demonstration. It was led by Pablo Suarez, associate director for research and innovation of the Red Cross Red/Crescent Climate Centre, and Economist journalist Oliver Morton. But the real star was top Senegalese chef Pierre Thiam, who prepared a range of insect snacks for participants.
