"Bolivia’s World People’s Summit on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth was radical, inspiring, uncompromising and exactly what was needed. Up to 30,000 people from six continents took part in the summit, which was held in the Bolivian city of Cochabamba from April 19 to 22... The call from Cochabamba is unmistakable. Global warming is not just an ‘environmental’ concern. To save the planet from dangerous climate change the climate movement must also stand for radical social change and grassroots democracy.” - Green Left Weekly
