  • The organization attributes the destruction caused by Hurricane Irma and other phenomena to the production and consumption systems of neoliberal capitalism and dominating power relations imposed on nature and people.
  • Climate injustice is exacerbated by multilateral organizations that ignore the unequal responsibility between Northern industrialised countries and Southern countries, while transnational corporations continue to receive guarantees for destructive activities.
  • The document rejects global policies that promote the privatization, commodification, and financialization of nature, including REDD and Payments for Environmental Services, arguing they are 'false solutions' that protect Northern consumption and corporate profits while destroying community management of the commons.
  • The only way to escape the capitalist catastrophe is through people-led solutions, specifically food sovereignty, agroecology, community forest management, public and community water management, and energy sovereignty.
