The Social PreCOP on Climate Change is the first Worldwide Public Consultation proposing governments to sit together with social movements and organizations around the world to set the basis of an alliance between peoples and governments facing the threat that climate change poses today for humanity.
From the confidence and leadership earned internationally under the leadership of Commander Hugo Chávez, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela opened the space of the Social PreCOP on Climate Change to allow popular organizations worldwide to influence the agenda of the UN at a key historical moment: the ability to overcome the predatory capitalist system of development through political agreement and thereby to save the planet.
Three high-level political consultations convened for 2014 make it a crucial year for climate negotiations:
Venezuela has materialized its role as protagonist at the international level by participating in the political leadership of the new legal agreement on climate change, and has come to the forefront of this global challenge from a revolutionary perspective tackling with the Socialism of the XXI Century and the Good Living the "Green Capitalism" and the "Low Carbon Development".
