In response to the failed UN climate change negotiations in Copenhagen in Dec. 2009, the Bolivian government convened a conference of social movements to address the challenge of global warming. More than 30,000 people participated in charting a path toward climate justice during the April 2010 world people’s assembly in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The November 13 conference in Toronto will discuss what is being done in our communities to resist the war against Mother Earth and how can we implement the Cochabamba agenda here in Canada.
