However, if something like that does happen, it might be better placed here
rather than klimaforum:

~ Global Struggle for the Earth and for Social and Environmental Justice ~
~ A Call to Action and Decentralized Organization ~

Invitation to participate in the creation and action of the International
Anti-C at P Space leading up to the COP16:

*Regional Climate Convergences*:
-San Salvador Atenco, just outside of Mexico City 5-7 of November.
-Mexicali, Baja California 13-14 of November.
- San Cristobal de las Casas- 13-14 of November.

*Anti-Capitalist Mobilization in Caravan the first days of December to
Cancun*

Faced with the failure of the fifteenth United Nations Conference of the
Parties on Climate Change in Copenhagen, Denmark this past December, the G20
(the national banks and governments of the 20 most wealthiest nations in the
world), multinational corporations, and the international financial
institutions (IFIs)  to extort the rest of the governments of the world into
accepting a new international treaty on Global Warming and Climate Change...

With particular chapters of the Kyoto Protocol expiring in 2012, a new
treaty is being drafted not only to set the minimal goals to reduce human
activities that cause Global Warming, but also to legitimize a “carbon
market” generating the legal basis to contaminate the air we breathe, a
market that would clearly be controlled by those who hold political and
economic power. Once again, developed nations are turning a blind eye to the
enormous ecological and social debt they owe the rest of the world, to the
fact that their development has been based on the over-exploitation of
natural resources and the total destruction of entire peoples and cultures.
The information collected from around the world, based on the best science
possible, leaves plain the false arguments from these same parties that
there is a lack of solid evidence of human activity that produces Climate
Change; or their more recent contestation of responsibility in the emission
of gases that cause this effect.

The United Nations bodies that are charged with carrying-out the task of
generating the new treaty have been corrupted by multinational corporations
and international financial institutions. These agents of capitalism are
developing and consolidating an international market to buy and sell credits
to contaminate and pollute our air; equivalent to privatizing the
atmosphere. The environmental degradation produced in capitalist systems are
driving the world's climate to a point of no return. If we continue along
this path in less than one hundred years over 80% of all species in the
world could disappear. The environmental defense that we are enacting as
part of greater social movements is crucial, and it offers us a new
opportunity to confront the root causes of climate change.

At the beginning of 2010 the United Nations announced that the 16th
Conference of the Parties on Climate Change would be held in Cancun, Mexico.
2010 is also the bicentennial  of the Mexican independence from the
Old-World Empire, and the centennial of the Mexican Revolution. For many,
2010 is a significant marking-point for the social struggles in the
Americas. To commemorate this historical process of emancipation, and to
counter the false solutions demonstrated at the summit in Copenhagen
(COP15), we invite you to the International Anti-C at P Space- an
Anti-Capitalist effort in opposition to the COP16- a struggle from below
against the New-World Order.

The International Anti-C at P Space is an effort of various grassroots groups,
organizations, and activists who have come together to build an
environmental and social justice movement that uses direct action and
popular education to articulate fair and effective solutions to the
environmental crisis leading up to the COP16. We invite social movements,
civil organizations, networks, activist, and communities of the world
committed to the anti-capitalist struggle and the principles of social and
environmental justice, to participate in the International Anti-C at P Space in
Cancun this December.

We don't forget the past mobilizations of civil society in Cancun - The
World Economic Forum in 2001 and the World Trade Organization in 2003.
Without a doubt, we live in a world politically different than those days
but we still assert that the principal causes of our misery are the same:
capital, the state, its destruction of the environment and the structures of
power it maintains. Faced with a global financial crises, the same forces
are in search of a new round of accumulation through green capitalism in
order to evolve and regenerate. We hope that just as we buried the WTO in
2003 we will bury the COP.

We are against a reductionist science that substitutes one nightmare for
another - transgenic agrobiofuels for automobiles, carbon bonds and credits
for the emerging carbon market in order to continue polluting the air we
breathe, the displacement of indigenous peoples for "the conservation of
pristine areas." We have a broader vision of nature and we know that the
struggle against environmental destruction goes beyond reducing emissions.
Often climate change is used as a pretext to hide the real criminals
responsible for the environmental crisis. The same ones who want to manage
the climate and social crisis with a new market of "green" and "sustainable"
products, making promises of techno fixes and other false solutions. In
Cancun we will show that: WE ARE THEIR CRISIS!

We invite communities, organizations and activists to join this
anti-capitalist force in order to create autonomous spaces, events,
mobilizations and actions to re-appropriate the discourse around climate
change, and the processes of "adaptation and mitigation", that honestly
search for environmental and social justice,

In this sense we consider the International Anti-C at P space to be a permanent
and collective process where we create a continuous interaction that permits
us to generate collective solutions to local and global environmental
problems. Towards this effort we are organizing regional climate
convergences where we can reflect upon the environmental question, share
knowledge and learn practical tools to confront such problems. The upcoming
Climate Convergences are in San Salvador Atenco, in the State of Mexico from
the 5th to 7th of November,  in Mexicali, in the state of Baja California on
the 13th and 14th of November, and in San Cristobal de las Casas, in the
state of Chiapas also the 13th and 14th of November.

The Anti-C at P space is also organizing busses for the Anti-Capitalist
Mobilization in Cancun that will depart during the first days of December
and that will coincide with other caravans from national and international
networks and organizations on their way to Cancun -- for more information on
how to reserve your seat on these busses please send an email to
caravanaanticapcop at gmail.com

Join us in organizing educational events and actions at key points during
the rest of 2010, leading up to the Conference of the Parties -COP16. We
welcome the participation of organizations that are inline with our
objectives, in opposition to false solutions of carbon markets and in favor
of real, effective and just solutions to the environmental and social
crisis.
We invite you to take Direct Action with us, to take it upon yourself to
create solutions to people's problems and to build from below and from the
left the organizations in each of our communities and collectivities. We
hope to organize direct actions in relation to climate change all over
Mexico and the World.
