People Power Now manifesto
Summary
The 'People Power Now' manifesto by Friends of the Earth International advocates for a systemic shift away from capitalist logic toward a just energy transition. It emphasizes the leadership of indigenous peoples and frontline communities in implementing sustainable initiatives and proposes ten demands to accelerate the transition to a climate-just world.
Key insights
- The manifesto argues that the scale of current crises necessitates a complete system change to create sustainable societies and new relationships between humans and nature based on reciprocity and equality, expanding existing initiatives that already challenge capitalist logic.
- Friends of the Earth International identifies indigenous peoples and frontline communities as the primary practitioners of the values needed for a just transition and intends to use the manifesto's ten demands as a tool to ensure these communities lead the discourse on solutions.
