Bolivia: Correa Calls for Environmental Justice

Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa was also in Cochabamba for the People’s Climate Conference. In a call for environmental justice, he insisted that those responsible for damaging the planet should be held accountable. “The problem of the destruction of nature, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change could all be solved by that wonderful word: Justice. Environmental justice in this case. We are all responsible, but in different ways. Some have much more responsibility for the damage inflicted on the planet, and those countries should pay for causing that damage,” said Correa. teleSUR
