Hay que decidir: cambiar de sistema o enfrentar una catástrofe climática

The statement criticizes Global North governments for declaring climate emergencies without implementing the systemic changes necessary to avoid catastrophe. It rejects 'false solutions' like carbon markets and geoengineering, advocating instead for a transition to 100% renewable energy managed as a common good by communities rather than corporations.

• The author contends that declarations of climate emergencies by governments in the Global North are often empty gestures, as these nations continue to fund fossil fuel infrastructure both domestically and abroad.
• The document identifies 'false solutions' as technologies and schemes designed to ensure corporate profits rather than solve the climate crisis; these include carbon offsets, carbon markets, large dams, nuclear energy, bioenergy, geoengineering, and carbon capture and storage.
• A proposed 'system change' approach advocates for treating energy, wind, sunlight, seeds, food, forests, and ecosystems as common goods and human rights under community control, rather than as commodities.
• Achieving 100% renewable energy requires a just transition that protects workers' rights and prevents 'new green deals' from continuing neocolonial resource extraction from the Global South.
