WORLDMAGNUM: 07 May 2010 - UNTV: United Nations, New York - Bolivian President Evo Morales Ayma, today (7 May) presented the findings of the World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth which recently took place in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
Morales, together with indigenous, social and environmental leaders, briefed reporters and pushed for a planetary bill of rights based on the findings of the conference.
He said that the best way to defend human rights is by defending the rights of Mother Earth and pressed developed countries to honor their climate debt by decolonizing the atmosphere.
The Bolivian President said that voluntary cuts in Copenhagen Accord signed last year are inadequate and will not stem global warning. He accused developed nations of wanting to eliminate the commitments made in the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which he insisted must be implemented.
He concluded by saying that the world is facing the option of two paths; to save capitalism, or to save Mother Earth.
Morales presented Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon with the conferences declaration known as the Peoples Agreement.
The declaration warns that if global warming increases by more than 2 degrees Celsius, there is a 50% probability that the damages caused to our Mother Earth will be completely irreversible.
