A Global Climate Deal is Within Reach, But Only Public Pressure Can Ensure It Meets Earth’s Needs

http://democracynow.org – As we broadcast from the U.N. Climate Conference in Lima, Peru, where delegates from around the world are meeting on a global agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming, the first text of this year’s draft has been released. We are joined by Pablo Soln, Bolivia’s former ambassador to the United Nations and former chief negotiator on climate change. Now the executive director of Focus on the Global South, Soln was a presenter of the International Rights of Nature Tribunal, which also took place in Peru.
