Danish UI Student Heads Home to the Copenhagen Climate Summit

Story air date: Thursday, December 10, 2009

Adam Lentz is taking a week from his studies at the University of Illinois to go back to his home town in Europe. But it’ll be a working break – his home is Copenhagen, where representatives from the world’s countries have gathered to hammer out an agreement on climate change. Lentz is a Fulbright graduate student studying natural resources and environmental science. When he was an undergraduate at the University of Copenhagen, he was the president of the Union of Danish Natural Resource Students. He’s going to the Copenhagen summit to monitor its progress, and he sat down with AM 580's Tom Rogers to talk about his expectations.
