The Climate is Changing: It\u2019s Time for Solutions!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Launching the People\u2019s Summit, the Opening Plenary will reflect on what we have accomplished, and the lessons learned from our collective victory over the WTO in 1999, and connect that watershed moment with the struggles for justice today. The Climate is Changing.\u00a0 We know that means we have to take urgent action for climate justice. But it also means that this is the best opportunity we have had in a long time to put forth viable solutions for people and the planet.\u00a0 The People\u2019s Summit begins with specific ways we can all build alternatives to make another world possible.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The closing celebration of The People\u2019s Summit is an opportunity for leaders in labor, environmental justice, cultural activism and food sovereignty to move forward a shared vision for Global Justice, reflecting on the significance of the 2009 WTO meeting on November 30th, the 10th anniversary of the WTO shutdown in Seattle, and the upcoming Climate Change talks in Copenhagen in December. Participants will be encouraged to reach across sectors and borders to strengthen alliances, drawing inspiration from the People\u2019s Summit to forge shared goals for the next 10 years and more.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
