RABAT, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) -- Organizers of an international climate change conference scheduled to start next Monday in the Moroccan city of Marrakech on Thursday picked an official anthem for the event.
The four-minute song, "Our Home," was composed and performed by Moroccan artist Ferdaous, the steering committee of the 22nd Conference of Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) said.
Ferdaous is the performer's stage name.
The song's lyrics, in English and Arabic, was contributed by Morocco's National Federation of Arts and Culture, the committee said in a statement. Its music was arranged by Moroccan composer Karim Slaoui.
The anthem, highlighting the beauty and benefits of nature, recalls the threats of human activity and stresses the need to act against the effects of climate change, the statement said.
