Eating is such a fundamental aspect of our existence, that I find it strange that anyone
should question the wisdom of proposing that FAO should do all in its power to
ensure that everyone can eat three meals a day, says Brazilian José Graziano da Silva.

Providing LAC special coverage of the 17th United Nations Framework Conference
on Climate Change (COP 17) to be held in Durban, South Africa, in December 2011.
Organizing a one-day international conference on communications and sustainable
development in Bogotá, Colombia.
With the aim of achieving better results, and in consultation with LCREA, we decided
to concentrate our efforts on the news coverage of the COP 17 in Durban: providing
more pre-Conference analyses and reports from different regions of Latin America;
sending a specialized journalist for on-the-ground coverage and reporting during the
conference; creating a special page on the Tierramerica website featuring images from
the COP ( http://www.tierramerica.info/cop17.php); distributing promotional
newsletters; and producing radio programs.
Moreover, using the knowledge and the contacts acquired in Durban, in JanuaryMarch 2012 we will be producing a series of six special From Durban to Rio+20
reports and we will publish two op-ed pieces by World Bank officials or experts,
linking the two events and preparing for the June 2012 global meeting.

Agreement for New Global Treaty to Reduce Emissions
By Stephen Leahy
The biggest breakthrough at the climate talks in Durban was getting all of the world’s
governments to agree to negotiate a new global treaty to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by 2015.
DURBAN, South Africa, Dec. 11 (Tierramérica).- The world is increasingly
committed to dangerous levels of global warming with yet another failure by nations
of the world to agree to needed reductions in carbon emissions here in Durban.
However, as the 17th Conference of Parties ended early Sunday morning, members
did agree to talk about a new global treaty to reduce emissions.

Indigenous Peoples Call for REDD Moratorium
By Stephen Leahy
While climate treaty negotiations became trapped in a maze requiring a European
Union "road map" to provide a way out, the proposed use of forests to offset carbon
emissions continued to raise controversy.
DURBAN, South Africa, Dec 9 (Tierramérica).- A new coalition of indigenous
peoples and local communities called for a moratorium on Reducing Emissions from
Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) programs, a key part of the
negotiations for a new international climate treaty that took place over the last two
weeks in South Africa.

Biofuels Are Not the Solution
By Nnimmo Bassey
The fact that agrofuels have triggered a new scramble for Africa is no longer news.
Millions of hectares are being grabbed with little concern for the poor who are bound
to face displacement, says the chair of Friends of the Earth International, Nnimmo
Bassey.
DURBAN, South Africa, Dec 5 (Tierramérica).- Science tells us that we are heading
for a climate crisis, yet it is within our means to change course.

"Fracking" for Shale Gas: Neither Clean Nor Green
By Stephen Leahy
While the promotion of clean energy sources remains sidelined at the climate talks in
Durban, exploration and drilling of "unconventional gas" is spreading uncontrolled

DURBAN, South Africa, Dec 5 (Tierramérica).- Hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" is
being used to tap the last remaining natural gas deposits across large areas of the
United States and western Canada, fueling continued dependence on hydrocarbons
instead of a shift to genuinely clean energy sources to cool the planet

South Outdoing North in Fight Against Global Warming
By Julio Godoy
The developing world can present solid evidence in Durban that it has contributed
substantially to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
BERLIN, Nov 28 (Tierramérica).- The claims of some industrialized nations, which
accuse the developing countries of not doing their share to curb emissions that
contribute to climate change, are proven false in studies conducted by respected
academic institutions.

Brazil Cannot Swim Against the Climate Current
By Mario Osava
Brazil has distanced itself from Latin America on climate issues and is coordinating
joint positions with the other BASIC countries - South Africa, India and China - and
the Group of 77 developing nations.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov 28 (Tierramérica).- With no meaningful proposals, internal
setbacks and an adverse international context, Brazil is largely unprepared to assume
the leadership role expected of an environmental power at the Durban climate change
conference.

Initiatives aimed at greater integration of Latin American nations have yet to reach the

MEXICO CITY, Nov 28 (Tierramérica).- The foreseeable absence of binding
agreements to stabilize the global climate could give rise to increased regional
cooperation to help Latin American countries adapt to the severe effects of climate
change.

A Rio+20 Activist Manifesto and Action Plan
By Bhaskar Menon
If civil society activists create their own action plan to save the planet, there would be
no need for governments to negotiate common standards for nations and communities
widely unequal in wealth and technical capacity.
UNITED NATIONS, Nov 14 (Tierramérica).- Unless civil society activists launch
their own program of action at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable
Development in Rio de Janeiro next summer (Jun. 4-6), the event will be little more
than an expensive talkfest.
