Can Copenhagen alleviate poverty in Africa while protecting it from climate change?

On the dawn of the Copenhagen UN Climate Change Conference, Paula Kahumba has made a video with the simple question:

will Copenhagen face the challenge of how to alleviate poverty in Africa while protecting us from climate change?

Paula lives in Kenya where she manages a blogging platform for wildlife conservation on http://wildlifedirect.org, brainchild of the famed palaeoanthropologists now politician Richard Leaky.

More gifts from MannaRelief of Advanced Nutrition for malnourished children

My wonderful contact at MannaRelief has just rang to offer another 6 months supply to us, fully funded. With these "glyconutrients" we can add to the "current food programs which are mainly cereal-based and lack many of the nutrients young children need ... filling a child's stomach not only fails to correct the problem, but it serves as only a temporary fix to a much bigger problem." This product ... "provides children with plant-sourced nutrients in standardized and nutritionally effective amounts. ...Nutritional Chews can be eaten directly from the packet and do not require refrigeration or mixing with scarce clean water."
