Venezuela Polishes Proposals
for Earth Summit
CARACAS - Venezuelan academicians,
representatives of green movements,
legislators, and governmental officials
unite efforts ahead of the Earth Summit, to
take place in April in Bolivia.
Venezuela's proposals for the world
conference of the peoples are based on an
eco-socialist approach, which encourages
practices in harmony with nature.
The coming event in Cochabamba will be an
alternative for plural dialogue and
consensus among countries, faced with the
failure of the 2009 Copenhagen Summit, the
vice president of the Latin American
Parliament (Venezuelan group), Filinto
Duran, told Prensa Latina.
The recent document elaborated by
participants to the Bolivarian Eco-socialism
Forum in that capital will be made known
today by organizers of the working sessions,
he added.
Members of scientific institutions,
indigenous movements, students, deputies,
among other civil sectors, took part in
debates in that capital.
The creation of a court to sanction those
who damage the environment, holding a world
plebiscite on climate change, and
proclaiming the earth's rights are key
issues of the Cochabamba conference.
About 17 discussion tables will open the
meeting, Bolivian ambassador to Caracas,
Jorge Alvarado, confirmed.
Thousands of people from different countries
are expected to attend the summit, which
will mean breaking with traditional concepts
on common problems resulting from irrational
exploitation of natural resources, and
negligent behaviours imposed by capitalist
models, the diplomat stressed.
