Dispatches from World People’s Conference on Climate Change

A World People’s Conference on Climate Change has been called by Bolivia as a response to the failure of COP15. As one of the few countries that openly criticized the negotiations in Copenhagen and has refused to sign the Copenhagen Accord, Bolivia has invited governments, organizations, and people to take part in finding solutions to fight climate change.

Oakland Institute Fellow Jeff Conant, an award-winning journalist, is working with Global Justice Ecology Project and a coalition of grassroots groups to deliver daily news from the World Peoples’ Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth in Cochabamba, Bolivia between April 19th – April 22nd, 2010. We invite you to read Jeff’s blog on the events in Cochabamba.
