Numbering between 5,000-7,000 demonstrators gathered at the Glorieta del Albanil and marched towards the Plaza de la Republica this morning. The marchers carried banners, placards, colourful festoons to show their discontentment with the way the official UNFCCC negotiations have been
dangerously moving towards the adoption of the Copenhagen Accord as the framework for negotiations, which means that there will be no binding commitments from big, industrialized countries to reduce emissions. The UNFCCC talks are also going the direction of promoting false solutions to the climate crisis such as carbon markets, technological quick-fixes and the further intensification of industrial agriculture with a greater role for corporate agribusiness.
