L’ampleur de la crise planétaire demande une action de même envergure ; la solution est le changement de système

A statement by Friends of the Earth International arguing that the global climate, social, and environmental crises are rooted in a capitalist economic system focused on growth and profit, and can only be resolved through a comprehensive 'system change' based on popular sovereignty and justice.

• The current global crisis is driven by a capitalist economic system that prioritizes continuous growth and profit, leading to the concentration of wealth and power and the exploitation of people and nature. To address this, the document calls for the dismantling of the logic of capitalist accumulation and the combatting of root causes such as privatization, financialization, and the commodification of nature and societies.
• System change requires the creation of radical, just democracies centered on popular sovereignty and the intersection of struggles against various forms of oppression, including patriarchy, racism, colonialism, and class exploitation. Gender justice specifically requires recognizing women as political subjects, ending violence against them, and promoting feminist economic principles.
• Transforming the energy system is essential for system change, requiring a complete end to fossil fuel dependence and corporate control. A just transition must move beyond simply changing technologies to renewable energy, ensuring that energy is owned and controlled by the community rather than treated as a commodity.
• The document advocates for a radical transformation of the food system toward agroecology and food sovereignty, and the protection of biodiversity through community-led forest management. It notes that currently, only 8% of the world's forests are managed by the population.
• Proposed solutions for a new system include implementing tax justice to provide public services for all, developing social ownership, cooperatives, local markets, and fair trade. This requires national and international public policies that guarantee rights to water, land, territories, food, health, education, housing, and decent work.
