But while our leaders wrangle over quotas for greenhouse emissions over banquets at lavish summits, there are remarkable individuals who are doing their small bit to prevent our planet from peril.
Take Nigerian civil engineer, Dr Joseph Adelegan for instance.
He firmly believes that the world’s future fuel demands can be met through renewable energy.
And he is using increasingly innovative methods to achieve these results.
Three years ago Adelegan won plaudits for his “Cows to Kilowatts” project, which used effluents and waste products from abattoirs to produce cooking gas.
The project was a winner of the prestigious 2005 Supporting Entrepreneurs for Environment and Development (SEED) International Awards.
