“The figure U.S. negotiators are floating for how much Washington will contribute to an international climate change fund is a paltry $1.4-billion”, said Klein. And she added: “Meanwhile, the cost of the ‘surge’ in Afghanistan is estimated at $30-40-billion”.

Researcher, journalist, writer and activist, famous for her anti-globalization work, Klein was present at the Klimaforum to participate in some workshops. On Thursday, she was one of the speakers of an activity called “Toward the Peoples´ Tribunal on Ecological Debt and Climate Justice”. Jubilee South, Climate Justice Now, Friends of the Earth International, Focus on the Global South, FASE, and Ecologistas en Accion were some of the organizers.

Let´s listen to Naomi Klein addressing hundreds of people at the Klimaforum.
