MILAN (AP) — Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate said youth delegates at a gathering in Italy’s financial capital are struggling to get their voices through in an event that she and others complain has been heavily orchestrated. Nakate is among 400 activists invited to Italy’s financial capital for a three-day Youth4Climate meeting that will draft a document to forward to the next round of U.N. climate talks in Glasgow, Scotland, that begins Oct. 31.
