LA PAZ, Feb 10 (NNN-PRENSA LATINA) – Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehauanca has called governments to participate in the summit on climate change scheduled for April 20 to 22 in Cochabamba.
The Cochabamba summit will work towards organising a World Referendum of the Peoples on climate change, the creation of a Climate Court of Justice and define strategies of action and mobilisation in defense of life confronted by climate changes.
He said that after the failure of the Copenhagen Summit in Denmark last year, he will also sent invitations to scientists from all around the world to take part in the “First World Conference of the Peoples on Climate Change and Rights of Mother Nature”
Industrialised nations, he said, refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol that establishes measures for emissions of carbon dioxide and consequently threaten Mother Nature.
At the Cochabamba summit, about 11,000 delegates will debate on structural and systematical causes that lead to climate change and propose measures for the welfare of all humanity in harmony with nature.
Choquehuanca said that the gathering in Bolivia will conclude on April 22, coinciding with the International Day of Mother Nature with a mass rally in the Felix Capriles Stadium of Cochabamba.
The meeting called by President Evo Morales precedes the next presidential conference on the same issue that will be held in Mexico at the end of the year as a follow up tp the Copenhaguen Summit in Dec.
The summit will also debate new commitments and define projects on fields such as climate debt, migrant-refugees of climate change, reduction of emission, adaptation, technological transference, financing, forests, shared views and plight of indigenous peoples among others.
The Cochabamba summit will work to organise a World Referendum of the Peoples on climate change, the creation of a Climate Court of Justice and define strategies of actions and mobilisations in defense of life confronted by climate changes.
He also pointed out that the so-called developed nations have refused to acknowledge the climate debt that they have with developing nations. — NNN-PRENSA LATINA
