Silvia Ribeiro Es grave e irresponsable el intento de FAO de legitimar los transgénicos como solución al hambre y la crisis climática en el tercer mundo, cuya expresión más reciente es la conferencia Biotecnologías agrícolas en los países en desarrollo (Guadalajara, México, 14 de marzo). Frente a las críticas que van en aumento, los funcionarios [...]

Por Silvia Ribeiro Del primero al 4 de marzo 2010 se realizará en Guadalajara, México, una conferencia “técnica” internacional de la FAO (Organización de Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura) sobre cómo se podría manipular y/o hacer transgénico casi todo lo que esté vivo: desde los cultivos y microorganismos hasta los bosques, peces [...]

Silvia Ribeiro* La reunión de Naciones Unidas sobre cambio climático que se realizó en Copenhague en diciembre 2009 fue, como anunciaron titulares de todo el mundo, un fracaso. Pero también un parteaguas en muchos sentidos. Me parece útil acercarnos más al contenido de ambas cosas. Por un lado, como mencioné en artículos anteriores, se les [...]

Silvia Ribeiro * Durante las negociaciones de Naciones Unidas sobre cambio climático en Copenhague, Dinamarca, en diciembre pasado, la delegación de Bolivia comparó lo que allí sucedía con la película Matrix. Agregó que los únicos que tomaban la pastilla roja (que en la película permite ver la realidad como es) eran los que marchaban protestando [...]

Silvia Ribeiro* Copenhague, 18 de diciembre -Mientras escribo esta nota, no se sabe si habrá un nuevo acuerdo global sobre el cambio climático en la conferencia de Naciones Unidas que se realiza del 7 al 18 de diciembre.

Today was “Reclaim Power” day, a collaborative adventure with activists from Climate Justice Now and Climate Justice Action that had been many months (years?) in the making. 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 [...]

It is the mad dash for Copenhagen. I am leaving Montreal for the international summit tomorrow although the conference actually got underway today.

Silvia Ribeiro* En las próximas semanas se reunirá en Copenhague, Dinamarca, la Convención sobre Cambio Climático de Naciones Unidas. El ambiente está caliente, tanto entre los bloques de negociadores oficiales, como en las organizaciones y movimientos, que por primera vez acudirán en decenas de miles al lugar de reunión. No es para menos, el cambio [...]
