Chile’s President Sebastián Piñera announced Wednesday his nation will not be hosting the U.N. climate summit in Santiago in December as planned. The U.N. said it is now looking for an alternative venue. Piñera also canceled the scheduled Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference, APEC, as mass protests against inequality in Chile entered their third week. His announcement came as a shocking new report warned 300 million people are at risk from rising sea levels, three times more than previous estimates.
