Justicia Climática para América Latina, el Caribe y los pueblos del mundo

The statement argues that climate disasters, such as Hurricane Irma and the earthquake in Mexico, are results of the neoliberal capitalist system's production and consumption patterns. It criticizes global policies that promote the privatization and financialization of nature, such as REDD and Payments for Environmental Services, as 'false solutions' that protect corporate interests. The document advocates for popular alternatives including food sovereignty, agroecology, and energy sovereignty to preserve life and ensure environmental, social, and gender justice.

• The document asserts that climate disasters, specifically citing Hurricane Irma and the earthquake in Mexico, are not merely natural phenomena but are products of the neoliberal capitalist system's relations of production and consumption.
• The author denounces the lack of recognition of differentiated responsibilities between the Global North and South in multilateral climate frameworks, arguing that current global policies prioritize the corporate model and the consumption patterns of the Global North.
• The statement rejects the 'financialization of nature' and specific mechanisms like REDD and Payments for Environmental Services, claiming they are false solutions that destroy community and democratic management of common goods.
• The document proposes a set of community-led alternatives as the only way to reverse the current catastrophe, specifically listing food sovereignty, agroecology, community forest management, public-community water management, and energy sovereignty.
