Seasons Greetings!


Bolivian President Evo Morales announced on 20th December that a world conference of social movements will be held in Bolivia, as a response to the failure of COP15. The meeting will take place on April 22, which is the International Day of Mother Earth. “It will be a great meeting where we’ll be able to come up with solutions for the problem of climate change,” he said.

It would be worth raising this meeting in your organization as soon as possible so that we can encourage trade unions to send delegations to this important meeting.
