As COP 17 draws to a close, Global Justice Ecology projects said today that the conference has been nothing but failure. They say only 1% of the needs for the people have been met in Durban and all the important issue are being avoided.
Desmond D’Sa from the South Durban Community Alliance says that Durban is a funeral parlour with coffins containing dead bodies of the future generation.
He says this will continue to increase in the coming months and coming years. He said “there is no doubt, what he refers to as conference of the polluters has been about lies, deceit and dishonesty”.
Kandi Mosset from Indigenous people who broke in tears when she explained her disappointment of COP. “I was hoping that the United States will get in”.
She said the leaders at COP are taking advantage of people who are impoverished. She added that they are dividing people who are in power using money with false scheme such as REDD and now they want to have Green Economy Fund.
Global Justice Ecology Project are urging governments of developing countries to be steadfast in demanding the enforcement of existing agreements and higher targets for emission cuts by developed countries to be met through domestic measures. #COP17
