    SUBJECT: Morales Continues to Attempt to Derail Copenhagen Accord

    CLASSIFIED BY: John S. Creamer, Charge d'Affaires, DOS, La Paz;
    REASON: 1.4(B), (D)

    ¶1. (C) Summary: Declaring the Copenhagen UN
    climate change summit a failure, Bolivian President Morales
    announced he will convoke the first "People's World Conference on
    Climate Change and the Mother Earth" in Cochabamba April 20-22 --
    coinciding with Earth Day. The conference's stated objective is to
    improve the position of social movements in the climate change
    process and develop an alternative work plan to take to the United
    Nations. As one of only five countries that did not sign the
    Copenhagen Accord (besides Tuvalu, Venezuela, Sudan, and Cuba), the
    Bolivian government hopes to raise doubts about the ability of the
    UN process to advance the climate change agenda and address the
    concerns of the world's poorest nations. More fundamentally,
    Morales views climate change as a vehicle for raising his and
    Bolivia's international political stature, especially among
    sympathetic anti-globalization groups. End summary.

    ¶2. (C) President Morales seemed to revel in his
    high-profile opposition to the UN process at the Copenhagen summit,
    ridiculing developed nations' proposals, making extraordinary
    demands for reparations and aid, and alienating the conference
    organizers and most delegations. Danish Ambassador to Bolivia
    Morten Elkjaer told us Morales canceled most of his bilateral
    program at the last moment, including meetings with clean energy
    firms, sustainable energy experts, and leading Danish businesses
    and labor federations. Danish Prime Minister Rasmussen spent an
    unpleasant 30 minutes with Morales, Ambassador Elkjaer said, during
    which Morales thanked him for bilateral aid (Denmark provides
    Bolivia approximately $30 million a year in aid), but refused to
    engage on climate change issues. The Danes said they are "fed up"
    with Bolivia and the ALBA countries, who continue to mount legal
    and propaganda arguments against the Copenhagen Accord, but that
    they will continue to consult with their European Union partners on
    ways to influence the GOB position.

    ¶3. (C) Chinese DCM in La Paz, Huang Yazhong,
    told the Charge that he has raised the Copenhagen Accord twice with
    Bolivian MFA Multilateral Affairs director MarC-a Cecilia ChacC3n,
    urging the GOB to rethink its radical opposition to the deal.
    Noting he had made little progress, the Chinese diplomat suggested
    that further engagement was pointless and argued that it is up to
    Brazil to bring around Bolivia and the other ALBA countries.
    Brazilian officials told us Bolivia refused to adopt Brazil's
    position on Copenhagen at a November 26 meeting in Manaus organized
    by President Lula da Silva. Still, Itamaraty official Marcel Biato
    (and future Brazilian Ambassador to La Paz) said Brazil will
    continue to press Bolivia on Copenhagen, hoping that Bolivia's
    isolation on this issue will eventually bring it around.

    ¶4. (C) Gisela Ulloa, a member of Bolivian
    delegations to earlier COP meetings (but not COP-15, where she
    represented Papua New Guinea and the Coalition for First Nations)
    told us the GOB's position is aimed at creating an alternative
    development model consistent with Morales's anti-capitalist
    philosophy. In addition to demanding enormous reparations from
    developed nations, the GOB opposes using markets as a mechanism to
    reduce emissions. Ulloa suggested that Morales recognizes Bolivia
    will not be included in the deliberations of the major players and
    is keen to create an alternative forum where he can style himself
    as the leader of anti-globalization groups and other social
    movements MAS Senator Ana Maria Romero added that Morales sees
    environmental issues as one area where he can carve out an
    international identity independent from that of his close ally,
    President Hugo Chavez. She recounted to us that an animated
    Morales told her he was surrounded by well-wishers in Copenhagen
    urging him "not to abandon them," while Chavez was alone in the
    corner.

    ¶5. (C) Many Bolivians are quick to observe that
    Morales's climate change campaign is about enhancing his global
    stature, not about the environment. Former Morales Production
    Minister and MAS replacement (suplente) Senator Javier Hurtado said
    there is a huge gap between Morales' strident, pro-environmental
    rhetoric in international fora and his domestic emphasis on
    industrialization as they key to development. The foundation of
    this effort is large-scale natural gas, iron, and lithium
    production projects, enterprises that have historically proven
    extremely damaging to the environment. In fact, the Inter-American

    Development Bank has presented a report to the GOB that details the
    serious potential for environmental damage in extracting lithium.

    ¶6. (C) Comment: Bolivia is already suffering
    real damage from the effects of global warming, but Morales seems
    to prefer to score rhetorical points rather than contribute to a
    solution. This radical position won him plaudits from
    anti-globalization groups, but has alienated many developed nations
    and most of Bolivia's neighbors .. Our assessment is that Bolivia
    remains beyond reach on Copenhagen, at least until Morales sees the
    limits of his approach. End comment.
    Creamer
