WHEN:  Tuesday December 15th 12:30PM

 

WHERE: Asger Jorn room in the Bella Center, Copenhagen

 

WHO:  Climate Justice Action, an international mobilization of protest groups that will march towards the Bella Center for the Peoples’ Assembly from the outside; representatives from Climate Justice Now! on behalf of civil society groups, social movements and environmental organizations who will walk out of the COP15 process

 

Speakers Include:

**Stine Gry (Danish activist from Climate Justice Action)

**Ivonne Yanez (Accion Ecologica, Ecuador, part of the Climate Justice Now! network)

**A representative from PACJA (Pan African Climate Justice Alliance)

**Bolivian Party Member (Gavir Labagenz)

**Moderated by: Anne Petermann (Global Justice Ecology)

 

**ADDITIONAL RESOURCE PEOPLE will be available to explain why their groups and constituencies are supporting the action**

 

WHY:   Climate Justice Action and Climate Justice Now!, networks that encompass both the global North and the global South, are coming together to declare that the last fifteen years of the COP process has not only failed to protect our communities, but is putting corporate profits before the needs of people. The climate talks have been widely criticised for being undemocratic, marginalising the voices of those most affected by climate change and being totally inadequate to deal with the scale of the climate crisis.

 

If there are severe access restrictions at the Bella Centre on Tuesday morning, the conference will be held at the same time at an alternate location just outside the centre, and an advisory will be issued.
