Quixote Center staff are participating in the "World Peoples Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth" in Cochabamba Bolivia this week. The Conference is a response to the derailment of climate change negotiations by the industrialized countries in Copenhagen in December, 2009, placing the future of our planet at risk.
We have received reports that, after a 12 hour negotiation session, the Unified Peasant Movement of the Aguán (MUCA) has signed a preliminary agreement with the Government of Honduras regarding the conflict in the region. The agreement is scheduled to be ratified on Saturday in Tocoa, Colón after the peasant population has had an opportunity to review the terms.
