Justice climatique pour l’Amérique latine, les Caraïbes et les peuples du monde

Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean (ATALC) issued a statement in September 2017 attributing climate disasters, such as Hurricane Irma and the Mexico earthquake, to neoliberal capitalism. The organization criticizes the unequal responsibility between the Global North and South and rejects the financialization of nature. ATALC advocates for community-led solutions, including agroecology and energy sovereignty, to replace extractive and industrial models.

• ATALC attributes the destruction caused by Hurricane Irma and other phenomena to the production and consumption systems of neoliberal capitalism, arguing that these events highlight the dangers of dominant power relations imposed on nature and people. The organization asserts that the most economically impoverished and dispossessed social sectors are the most affected.
• The organization denounces climate injustice, stating that multilateral organizations fail to recognize the unequal responsibility for the crisis between Northern industrialized countries and Southern countries. It rejects global policies that promote the privatization, commodification, and financialization of nature, claiming these 'false solutions' prioritize Northern consumption and transnational corporate profits over stopping climate change.
• ATALC argues that the only way to escape the capitalist catastrophe is through people-led solutions, specifically citing food sovereignty, agroecology, community forest management, public and community water management, and energy sovereignty as means to preserve life. It notes that extractive industries, agribusiness, the 'green economy', and initiatives like REDD and Payment for Environmental Services intensify the crisis and destroy democratic community management of common goods.
