Principios para una recuperación justa ante la crisis del COVID-19

Friends of the Earth International argues that the COVID-19 pandemic is a result of a neoliberal economic system prioritizing profit over people and the environment. To achieve a 'just recovery,' the organization proposes four principles: abandoning neoliberalism and austerity in favor of ecological limits and wealth redistribution; fostering multilateral cooperation and international solidarity, including the cancellation of Global South debt; strengthening democracy and human rights; and addressing systemic crises—including climate, biodiversity, and food—through a total system change. Key demands include transitioning to 100% renewable energy under state or community control, implementing food sovereignty via agroecology, and ensuring public services like health and energy are guaranteed rights funded by fair fiscal policies.

• The document argues that the COVID-19 pandemic and other systemic crises (climate, biodiversity, food, water, and care) share the same structural causes: a "sistema capitalista, patriarcal y racista diseñado para la acumulación de capital y la globalización neoliberal agenciada por las grandes empresas."
• A just recovery requires abandoning neoliberalism and austerity. Public recovery packages should prioritize support for Indigenous Peoples, Black and Afro-descendant communities, migrants, and the working class, while avoiding public bailouts for transnational corporations, particularly those in "combustibles fósiles y de minería, agronegocios, aerolíneas".
• International solidarity and multilateral cooperation are essential, specifically through the cancellation of all debt for the Global South and the application of "el principio del pago y reparaciones por la deuda climática y ecológica".
• To address the climate and pandemic crises simultaneously, the document advocates for a transition away from fossil fuel dependency toward "una energía 100% renovable, bajo control y propiedad estatal/de las comunidades para todas y todos".
• The document calls for a complete transformation of the food system, moving away from industrial agriculture toward "soberanía almentaria" and the support of agroecology over corporate farming.
