ABBREVIATED STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY (Please see “Work Products” for more detail).
There is no better lifesaving alternative than for for climate change advesaries to cooperate. Irrespective of and beyond political and economic ideology, together, Environment Las Americas/Bolivia’s work products will continually build a case for the absolute necessity of cooperation among culturally diverse climate change advesaries to acheive the deepest and broadest possible mitigation and adaptation. Foremost on our minds and in our hearts is the health and well being of our brothers and sisters around the globe, the world’s children and future generations. We strongly suspect adaptation to a 4C rise in temperature above preindustrial levels, which the Earth is quickly approaching due to human intervention, is not possible for the vast majority of the human population and must be avoided through a an unprecendented global response.
Environment Las Americas/Bolivia admires and supports the Bolivian government’s intentions and many of its efforts related to climate change justice. Indeed, our organization was among the first to speak out, in 2006, regarding the need for climate change justic education and advocacy in Bolivia. Nevertheless, we believe that neither Capitalism nor Socialism, nor any political economic or cultural model known to humankind to date, alone, will provide the answers that the global communty must develop within a few years time.
