VANCOUVER REPORT BACK FROM PEOPLE'S CLIMATE SUMMIT

World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth
held in Cochabamba, Bolivia

Harbour Centre, 515 W. Hastings, Room TBA

"Bolivia’s World People’s Summit on Climate Change and the Rights of
Mother Earth was radical, inspiring, uncompromising and exactly what
was needed. Up to 30,000 people from six continents took part in the summit,
which was held in the Bolivian city of Cochabamba from April 19 to 22... The call from Cochabamba is unmistakable. Global warming is not
just an ‘environmental’ concern. To save the planet from dangerous
climate change the climate movement must also stand for radical social
change and grassroots democracy.” - Green Left Weekly
