Durban — A number of youth groups who are making a difference in the fight to save the planet will be attending the Conference of the Youth (COY7), set to take place before COP17 in Durban later this month.

The delegates are excited to experience the colour of Durban. "And of course, because we're British, we're particularly keen to see how nice the weather is".
