Bolivia To Demand Serious Commitment From Developed Countries

Bolivia announced on Friday that it will demand developed countries make serious commitment to addressing global warming at the upcoming 2015 Paris Climate Conference (COP 21), due to be held from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11.

"We are going (to COP 21) to submit a proposal which is more real for developed countries and more effective according to what humanity needs. They (developed countries) need to make a serious and real commitment," said Alexandra Moreira, Bolivian minister for the environment and water.

Moreira was participating in a seminar entitled "Climate Change and COP 21" in the South American country's capital city of La Paz on Friday.

During the seminar, Moreira said Bolivia will take at least four concrete proposals to COP21.

The distribution of the global carbon budget based on a climate justice approach, incorporating the concept of respect and protecting Mother Nature's integrity are among the ideas Bolivia are to propose.

Bolivian President Evo Morales confirmed he will attend COP 21, which is expected to gather in Paris heads of state from 147 countries. (Cihan/Xinhua)
