There were demonstrators from the outside — the thousands of activists who have no accreditation to get into the Bella Centre where the talks are being held, [...]

I am still in the Bella Centre, still tracking technology negotiations. That means I have a magical “secondary pass” unlike thousands of other NGOs who cannot get into the building today. Technology is supposed to be the “easy issue”, on which there will possibly be an agreement, evoked by both the Danish Presidency and the [...]

We have been trying to lobby for precaution and assessment on technology, trying to talk to the press about our issues, attending side events, organizing our own workshops, meeting old and new friends and allies and basically working from [...]

Silvia Ribeiro* En Chichicuautla, muy cerca de las porquerías de Granjas Carroll –incubadores de la influenza porcina–, la gente resiste. Resisten la contaminación brutal de tierras, aguas, aire y las enfermedades que les provoca esta carnívora trasnacional, propiedad de Smithfield, la empresa porcícola más grande del globo. Resisten también la represión que contra ellos ejercen [...]

Silvia Ribeiro* La autorización del gobierno para sembrar maíz transgénico en México es un crimen de proporciones históricas. Un puñado de funcionarios que están en su puesto por unos pocos años cargaron contra 10 mil años de trabajo colectivo de millones de campesinos e indígenas que crearon y cuidaron el maíz –uno de los cuatro [...]

Silvia Ribeiro* Mientras el planeta se sigue calentando y el caos climático aumenta, las negociaciones sobre el tema en Naciones Unidas van de mal en peor.
