Abstract:
-
In April 2010, more than 30,000 people from over 100 countries took part in the World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth in the central Bolivian city of Cochabamba.
The participants, who included more than 40 official government delegations and thousands of activists and representatives of social movements, wrote and approved the documents published in this pamphlet.
The resolutions adopted in Cochabamba must now be put into action, in two parallel ways.
On one hand, the resolutions will become part of bnegotiations for a new climate treaty, Evo Morales told the delegates that the eight member countries of the Bolivarian Alliance of the Americas (ALBA) will go to the next round of international climate negotiations with a submission that is "based on ... the proposals that came out of the seventeen working groupd of the Cochabamba conference."
At the same time, the Cochabamba meeting is a major step towards building a mass democratic movement against climate change. the resolutions adopted in Bolivia provide a programmatic basis for such a movement.
This pamphlet contains three of the key resolutions adopted in Cochabamba. Other workshop resolutions are being posted, as translations are completed, on the official conference website (http://pwccc.wordpress.com/) and by the only journal Links (http://links.org.au/node/1647).
Climate and Capitalism encourages the widest possible distribution of these resolutions and documents. This pamphlet may be downloaded without charge, as a PDF file, at readingfromtheleft.com. It may be reproduced and distributed or sold by climate and social justice groups and activists, so long as no changes are made, and so long as the selling price does not exceed a reasonable cost of production. Commercial reproduction is not permitted.
