Day of Action

Bangkok Thailand

The Asian Peoples' Solidarity for Climate Justice was formed to prepare the civil society program in parallel with the United Nations climatetalks, 28 September to 9 October 2009, Bangkok.

In addition to a dynamic and extensive schedule of events, we invite you to participate in peaceful  and public demonstration of our collective demand for climate justice. We demand immediate cuts: cut the carbon, cut the foreign debt, cut the false solutions, cut the World Bank and the corporations out! We demand recognition and full respect for peoples' rights, reparation for climate debts and peoples sovereignty NOW!

Join with us in the streets of Bangkok with your banners and flags to create a colourful, vibrant, energetic peoples march for climate justice. There will be a program of events at the conclusion of the march including speakers from across civil society and music.

Support the Asian Peoples' Solidarity for Climate Justice!

EU-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Campaign
Country Level Thematic Reports
The EU-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Campaign  initiated  in 2007 a research project that would examine the nature and scope of the EU-ASEAN Relations including the impact of the proposed EU-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The project resulted in the publication in March 2009  of  the country-level studies that cover Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The publication also included  two articles  from Thailand that critique the EU- FTA’s proposed Chapter on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).

The country-level and thematic reports in the publication are intended to provide campaigners and trade justice advocates with  a broad overview and background information  on the extent of EU relations with particular ASEAN member countries. The reports outline the key areas of interests for both EU and ASEAN  that will likely be the key areas in the FTA negotiations. We hope that the reports will  contribute towards an informed public debate on the EU-ASEAN FTA not only across Asia and Europe , but in the global campaign for a fairer and more just trade system.

Included in the Information Package:

Introduction
Thailand Case
Indonesian Case
Vietnam Case
Sectoral and Thematic Cases
