About the Cochabamba Climate Conference:

People from around the world are attending the Peoples' Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth in Cochabamba, Bolivia this week as a follow up to the failed UN Climate Talks in Copenhagen, Denmark last December.

Social movements have converged in Cochabamba to rally opposition to the push by the world's leading carbon emitters to promote unjust and false solutions to climate change such as carbon offsets, and to make a collective push for stricter binding carbon reductions, reparations for industrial-driven environmental destruction, and a human rights approach to climate policies.

For folks interested in following the conference in Cochabamba there is loads of possibilities:

By means of the http://envivo.cmpcc.org.bo website you can participate and contribute at a distance. It's an open, free and collaborative space in which you will be able to see several video or audio webcasts, to post messages, etc.
