Cochabamba People's Conference on Climate Change - eye-witness reportbacks

Saturday, June 5, 2010 - 14:30

Last month 30,000 people gathered in Cochabamba, Bolivia to do what world leaders had so spectacularly failed to do a few months before in Copenhagen, develop an agreement to address the looming climate catastrophe and ensure a safe climate for future generations. While the Copenhagen summit was splashed across the international media, Cochabamba has been discussed remarkably little in the mainstream press. Yet this was a significant meeting for the international climate movement and an inspiring example of the people, energy and movements that can ensure a safe climate future.

Please join us at this public forum to hear eye-witness reports from Gemma Weedall, an activist with CLEAN, and Ben Courtice, a Melbourne climate activist, who attended the summit as a representative of the Socialist Alliance.
