Plataforma Boliviana Frente al Cambio Climático
INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE JUSTICE TRIBUNAL
13th and 14th of october, 2009
Cochabamba, Bolivia
The Climate Justice Tribunal is an instance of social, indigenous and popular organizations that is independent from the formal justice system. It has been created to be a space or instrument for popular justice that amplifies and brings visibility to the debate and information on the impacts of climate change and false solutions on the lives of communities, individuals and peoples, on biodiversity and especially on the countries of the Global South. It is a instance of civil society that will make it possible to judge and ethically and politically condemn those responsible for climate change. Also, at the same time, it contributes to raising awareness throughout the world on the link between climate change, the capitalist model of production, consumption and development and the urgency of the struggle for
environmental justice and payment of climatic and ecological debts. Its resolutions and recommendations will seek to ethically sanction those responsible for climate change, and to face the causes and
promote the adoption of policies and measures that in justice and equity those directly responsible must assume when faced with the causes, the damage and the effects.
General Objective
Give visibility to the causes responsible for climate change and their effects on human rights, peoples’ rights and the rights of nature, as well as the impacts of measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change, such as agrofuels, large hydroelectric dams, REDD and other false solutions that constitute violations of these rights.
Specific Objectives
Strenghten the social struggles for climate justice and raise the level of awareness on the need to respond urgently to the effects of climate change. Influence the adoption of policies, strategies and environmental actions that are dequate for preventing and mitigating the effects of climate change and to stop the false solutions.
Promote the international judicialization and classification of environmental crimes.
Develop precedents of jurisprudence that contribute to the construction of a binding international body for the sanctioning of environmental crimes.
Contribute to the formulation of the rights of Mother Earth through the Tribunal experience and the concept of cological debt and climate justice.
