Dear Ms Maya,
When I asked the first question about the CN Net on December 24, 2008 (11 months ago), I felt most participants to this online campaign (companies, organisations and local authorities) were from developed countries of Oceania! Was it okay? Generally, what has been the trend of new participants from sub-Saharan Africa?
Francis Bagambilana (from Tanzania (United Republic of))
Dear Francis:

Thanks so much for this great question. CN Net has twelve participants from sub-Saharan Africa, including participants in Cameroon, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda and Kenya. The country of Ethiopia is also a CN Net participant. You can see the global distribution of CN Net participants on the CN Net participants map (http://www.unep.org/cn_net_map/map/world_map.swf).

While the majority of CN Net participants are from developed countries, we are actively recruiting participants globally. Encouraging climate neutral practices in the developing world is a priority for CN Net, and we welcome grassroots support. Please spread the word about CN Net!

Thanks again and have a great day.

Best regards,
Maya
