A forum with a difference: Two indigenous women and a man line up to participate in a roundtable on climate change as part of the World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth in Tiquipaya, on the outskirts of Cochabamba, Bolivia. The conference officially opened on Tuesday. The conference is being held to give a voice to the world's poorest people - those most affected by climate change - and the goal is to present draft proposals to the UN climate meeting due to be held in Mexico later this year.
