Who We Are:
Alter-ECO is published by a group of non-governmental organizations, Indigenous Peoples Organizations and social movements at the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change COP-13, who have come together to make a unified call in support of real, relevant, effective and human rights-based solutions to climate change.
We oppose the false market-based response to climate change, including carbon trading, carbon financing and agrofuels, that is being implemented under the Kyoto Protocol. Because of their commercial appeal these 'solutions' are at the top of the political agenda. However, they are being used as a smoke-screen to ward off legislation and delay the urgent action needed to cut emissions and develop alternative low-carbon solutions that allow for a shift from fossil fuel dependence.
At the same time they encourage business and people to continue with, or even increase, polluting activities, as well as reducing life to a mere commodity to be bought and sold.
We join together to produce Alter-ECO as an instrument through which to project our collective voice, which reflects the views and concerns of grassroots constituencies and impacted communities all over the world.
