Cochabamba comes to the world!

Join the Peoples Conference on Climate Change live on the Internet

LAUNCH 20 APRIL

The response to the World Peoples’ Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth has been overwhelming. When online registrations closed on Friday 16 April, more than 15,000 people had registered from 126 countries.

However many thousands more have expressed their support and not been able to attend due to lack of financial resources or because they are not flying for environmental reasons. Most recently we have the sad news that hundreds of participants are unlikely to make it because of the volcanic eruption in
Iceland.

That is why we have been hard at work with a Bolivian team, Mayfirst collective from the US, and oneclimate.net from the UK and other groups to bring the conference live to everyone in the world who has an internet connection.
