The Kandy Declaration: a collective roadmap for systemic transformation

The Kandy Declaration is a political roadmap produced during the 3rd Nyéléni Global Forum in September 2025, calling for systemic transformation to replace capitalism, patriarchy, and colonialism with economies of care and solidarity.

• The Kandy Declaration was developed during the 3rd Nyéléni Global Forum held from 6 to 13 September 2025 in Kandy, Sri Lanka, involving over 700 delegates from more than 100 countries, including Indigenous Peoples, peasants, youth, and feminist movements.
• The Declaration serves as a political guide for global movements focusing on food sovereignty, gender and climate justice, peoples' rights, and a social and solidarity economy.
• The document identifies capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy as the drivers of ecological collapse, war, and hunger, and advocates for the transformation of global governance to prioritize people over profit and the defense of the commons.
