In solidarity with those affected by recent hurricanes and disasters caused by the neoliberal capitalist system

A statement by Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean (ATALC) expressing solidarity with victims of recent hurricanes and earthquakes, attributing these disasters to the neoliberal capitalist system and calling for community-based solutions over corporate-led models.

• Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean (ATALC) asserts that Hurricane Irma and other disasters are consequences of the production and consumption systems of the neoliberal capitalist system, which imposes power relationships of domination on people and nature.
• The organization denounces international agreements and global policies that ignore the differentiated responsibilities between the Global North and Global South, arguing that 'false solutions' to climate change—including privatization, commodification, and financialization of nature—serve to protect the consumption models of the North and the profits of transnational corporations.
• ATALC advocates for 'people’s solutions' to reverse capitalist-driven disasters, specifically citing food sovereignty, agroecology, community forest management, public-community based water management, and energy sovereignty as paths to preserve life.
