The fight for climate justice : Report back from Bolivia climate summit

Monday, May 10, 2010 - 18:30 to 20:30

In late April, around 20,000 climate change and indigenous rights activists from around the world attended the World People’s Summit on Climate Change hosted by Bolivia’s radical government.
The conference, a grassroots alternative to the failed Copenhagen summit, was a pivotal event in the fight against global warming.
It discussed the important topics the rich countries try to ignore such as climate debt, climate refugees, problems with existing market-based solutions, and the structural causes of climate change.
