G8 Environment Ministers Meet Amid Protests in Triste, Italy
Protests surround the G8 Environment ministers in their first meeting since the US scuttled COP 6 in The Hauge last November. 10,000 activists took to the streets demanding real substantive measures be taken to curb global climate change before it's too late. They were met by over 3,000 police who blocked many streets to protect the elite gathering. The protesters demands for a proactive global environmental policy included rejection of polution quotas and radical change in the multinational financial institutions and corporations which have become the dominate power brokers in the era of globalization. IMC Italia partner Radio Fragola in Triste has coverage of the protests. There is also coverage from vaikuttava tietotoimisto (IMC Finland).
