Space for Movement?

REFLECTIONS FROM BOLIVIA ON CLIMATE JUSTICE, SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND THE STATE

Written by Building Bridges Collective
August 2010

In the wake of the failed COP-15 in Copenhagen last December, Bolivia’s first indigenous president called for a World People’s Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth (CMPCC). Was this the necessary space for social movements to respond where governments and the UN have failed? Was it an attempt to co-opt radical demands? Following the CMPCC in Cochabamba, April 2010, this booklet reflects on the lessons from Bolivia and the role of movements in the fight for climate justice.
