COCHABAMBA, Bolivia - The World Peoples'
Conference on Climate Change and the Rights
of Mother Earth is analyzing on Wednesday
its Final Declaration, which will be

and alternative visions of the Latin
American, Asian, African and European civil
society.

Chavez, Ecuador's Rafael Correa, Paraguay's
Fernando Lugo, and Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega
are also expected today.
The Summit was opened on Tuesday with a

characteristic music of Bolivia, attended by
Andean priests and representatives from
indigenous peoples from the five continents
of the world.
