Greenpeace volunteers raise a wind turbine at dawn in Durban, South Africa, to send a message of hope for the latest round of UN climate change talks opening here on Monday.

Africa is on the front line of dangerous climate change, with millions already suffering the impacts through increased drought and extreme weather events, threatening lives and food security.
