Sam Otieno interviews Abu Juma, Bagamoyo, TanzaniaAs global negotiations kicked off at the UN climate change summit in Copenhagen this week, BBC World Service Trust researcher Sam Otieno appeared on the breakfast Network Africa show on the BBC World Service.  He spoke to presenter Peter Ndoro about the difficulty of translating the terms and concepts of climate change into local languages and explained this "failure in terminology":

"This is a fundamental challenge in communicating about climate change to the masses. People need more information about the causes of climate change and how its long-term effects and expected increase in extreme weather will affect their lives."

Sam was the lead researcher for Africa Talks Climate in Kenya, and also helped to supervise fieldwork in Tanzania.
