The statement by Friends of the Earth International asserts that the current economic system, driven by unlimited growth and profit, is the root cause of the climate crisis and associated social injustices. It advocates for a systemic transition involving the dismantling of capitalist accumulation, the implementation of a just energy transition with public and community ownership, the adoption of agroecology for food sovereignty, and the recognition of community rights over forests to protect biodiversity.

  • The climate catastrophe is linked to structural causes including the privatization, financialization, and commodification of nature and society, as well as unsustainable production and consumption systems driven by a capitalist logic of unlimited growth and profit.
  • Transforming the energy system requires moving beyond simply changing technologies or promoting renewables; it necessitates ending fossil fuel dependence, dismantling corporate control of energy, and establishing public and community ownership to ensure a just transition.
  • Achieving food sovereignty and combating destructive industrial agriculture requires a radical transformation of the food system through agroecology, valuing local knowledge, and guaranteeing rights to land, water, and seeds.
  • Community-managed forests are the most effective at protecting biodiversity and mitigating climate change by storing natural carbon, yet only 8% of the world's forests are currently managed by communities.
  • Systemic change must integrate the struggle against various forms of oppression, including patriarchy, racism, and colonialism, and specifically address gender justice by recognizing women as political subjects and implementing feminist economics.
