SUMMARY:What’s at stake in Canada’s trade negotiations with Ecuador? | ¿Qué está en juego en las negociaciones de libre comercio entre Canadá y Ecuador?
DESCRIPTION:Este es un evento bilingüe en español e inglés con interpretación simultánea | This is a bilingual webinar with simultaneous interpretation between English and Spanish Investor protections vs the rights of communities and nature: Canada and Ecuador have jumped headfirst into Free Trade Agreement negotiations they hope to finish by 2025 — but key voices are being left out.\nWhat’s already clear is that the agreement is being designed to attract and protect Canadian mining investment in Ecuador. What’s at stake? Hear directly from Ecuadorian organizations and communities impacted by Canadian oil and mining projects about a lack of consultation around the FTA and learn about how including an Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) clause would prioritize the rights of transnational companies over communities and the environment.\nLa protección de los inversores frente a los derechos de las comunidades y la naturaleza: Canadá y Ecuador están apresurándose para negociar un acuerdo de libre comercio que esperan concluir en 2025, pero se están excluyendo voces importantes. También está claro que el acuerdo está diseñado principalmente para atraer y proteger las inversiones mineras canadienses en Ecuador.\n¿Cuáles son los problemas? Escucharás directamente a las organizaciones y comunidades ecuatorianas afectadas por los proyectos petroleros y mineros canadienses sobre la falta de consulta en torno a las negociaciones y aprenderás cómo el ISDS, un mecanismo previsto en el acuerdo, daría prioridad a los derechos de las empresas transnacionales sobre los de las comunidades.\nPanelists: Ketty Nivyabandi, Amnesty International Canada\nFanny Utitiaj, Amazonian Women Defenders of the Forest, Shuar Nation\nHortensia Zhagüi, Kimsakocha Women’s School of Agroecology and Board of Potable Water Administrators of Victoria del Portete and Tarqui\nIvonne Ramos, Acción Ecológica\nDavid R. Boyd, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment\n
