Speaking at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Lima, Peru, Bolivian President Evo Morales called on the world’s richest countries to take responsibility for their role in exacerbating climate change, and to reduce their emissions to avoid environmental disaster.

The indigenous leader highlighted the detrimental impacts of global warming, felt most strongly by developing countries who, Morales said, are “historically the least responsible.”

Morales noted that developed nations had not changed their approach to reducing emissions over the past thirty years. He has been prominent in the campaign to make the wealthiest countries honor their commitments outlined by the Kyoto Protocol, demanded that northern nations listen to indigenous peoples to tackling climate change.

Developed countries “will carry on stealing from us. Stealing our future. Stealing our opportunity to development ourselves in a sustainable way,” Morales said at the conference, also known as the COP 20.
