If it’s not feminist, it’s not just

The document asserts that the 'Just Transition' framework has failed to address patriarchal oppression and systemic injustices linked to the fossil energy system. Based on 2020 webinars with 100 activists from the Friends of the Earth federation and allied organisations, it argues that women—particularly black, indigenous, women of colour, LBTQ, peasant, and working-class women—are central to creating lasting solutions and that a transition cannot occur without a feminist approach to system change.

• The current 'Just Transition' discourse has failed to account for the systemic, interlinked injustices of the fossil energy system, specifically patriarchal oppression.
• The climate and nature crises are driven by a patriarchal extractivist system that exploits people, territories, and nature to support neoliberal capitalist accumulation.
• The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted intersecting systemic vulnerabilities, with black, indigenous, women of colour, LBTQ, peasant, and working-class women bearing the heaviest social, political, and economic burdens.
