The Climate IMC continues to provide up-to-the-minute coverage of the summit.

[ Climate IMC | November 6 Rising Tide/Mediterranean Activists' Day of Action | "A Tale of Two Cties:" connecting climate change and globalization ]

The World Economic Forum describes itself as a "platform for discussion, debate and action on the key issues on the global agenda." Detractors, who have most recently faced the World Ecnomic Forum's meetings in Salzburg, Austria, Davos, Switzerland and Melbourne, Australia. See coverage of those meetings in the archives of the Austria, Switzerland and Melbourne IMCs.

From the S11.org site:

• What is the World Economic Forum?
• Corporations involved in the World Economic Forum
• Issues involved in the World Economic Forum
• Frequently asked questions about the World Economic Forum

Since the U.S. began to drop bombs on Afghanstan U.S. cargo planes have dropped almost a million daily food rations. Have these food drops alleviated the increasing humanitarian crisis in Afghanstan or simply served as propaganda for the U.S. military? Has the U.S. helped Afghan people by supporting the questionable Northern Alliance/United Front, or will U.S. actions result in even more war, oppression and poverty for the Afghan people?

Join the Philadelphia IMC in gathering links about the humanitarian situation in Central Asia, including articles about the effect of food drops and questions about human rights in Uzbekistan.

Listen to reports from Between the Lines Radio and other IMC-Radio associates on the humanitarian situation.
