LASC invites you to a talk, chaired by Chris O’Connell, LASC Committee Member, on the cancellation of the “Yasuni ITT Initiative” When: Thursday 21st November, 6.30pm When announced in 2007, the Yasuni ITT Initiative was hailed as a triumph for the environmental movement, provided newly elected President Rafael Correa with global attention and credibility, and was thought by some to represent the beginning of a new and alternative mode of global economics. The scheme appeared disarmingly simple: in return for donations of around half the value of the crude oil thought to be under the surface of this incredibly bio-diverse region, Ecuador would refrain from drilling, thereby protecting the park for all of humanity. |
