Global Justice Ecology Project and Biofuelwatch attended and presented at this important event, planned when the COP25 UN Climate Summit was still scheduled to take place in Santiago. The statements and workshops at the Cumbre were very radical and focused on identifying and addressing the root causes of the crises we are facing and strongly opposes the neoliberal false solutions we are being confronted with. Thanks so much to our allies at OLCA for inviting us to take part in this powerful event.
