Yet the agreement shut out the majority of participating governments altogether and set no clear targets for carbon emissions reductions. Social movements and Third World governments took a strong stand for a climate justice and ecological debt framework, yet now must look ahead to the next round of climate negotiations in Mexico City to win a substantive and just international agreement. Jose Bravo, Director of the Just Transition Alliance based in San Diego, was on the ground in Copenhagen as part of a US climate and environmental justice delegation that took to the streets in support of demands from the the Third World.
