Bolivia: New Text by LCA Chair is Imbalanced, All Voices Must Be Heard

In a press conference this morning at the COP16 climate negotiations in Cancun, Ambassador Pablo Solon of the Plurinational State of Bolivia said that a new text released yesterday by the Chair of the working group on Long-Term Cooperative Action is imbalanced, and excludes the proposals of Bolivia and many other developing nations. The main differences, Solon indicated, must be ironed out in negotiations among countries rather than unilaterally decided by a Chair.

“Debates should continue on the negotiating text that includes the proposals of all parties,” Solon said.
