Declaración de Amigos de la Tierra Internacional en solidaridad hacia los refugiados

Friends of the Earth International calls for global solidarity with refugees, particularly those fleeing the Syrian conflict, and argues that preventing future displacement requires urgent action on climate justice, the end of resource exploitation, and the reform of unfair trade agreements.

• The Syrian conflict has caused massive displacement, with an estimated nine million people fleeing their homes. According to the UNHCR, over three million have fled to neighboring countries including Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq, while 6.5 million have been internally displaced within Syria.
• Resource extraction and use are identified as significant contributors to violent conflicts that force people to migrate. The document advocates for a transition toward more efficient resource use, the phase-out of fossil fuels, and the prevention of 'scorched earth' extraction practices, citing the devastation in Nigeria as an example.
• Climate change is presented as a driver of future refugee crises by exacerbating resource scarcity and increasing the likelihood of conflicts and wars. It is noted that the poor and marginalized will suffer the most from crop loss, disease spread, and extreme weather events.
• Unequal trade agreements and the activities of transnational corporations are cited as fundamental causes of poverty and environmental devastation in poor countries. The document specifically criticizes the TPP and TTIP for favoring corporations over the public interest.
