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

A statement by Friends of the Earth International calling for global solidarity with refugees, specifically those fleeing the conflict in Syria, and outlining systemic changes needed to prevent future displacement, including climate justice and resource management.

• The conflict in Syria has caused massive displacement, with an estimated nine million people fleeing their homes. According to the UNHCR, over three million have moved to neighboring countries—specifically Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq—while six and a half million people have been internally displaced within Syria.
• By the end of 2015, it was estimated that half a million people would have fled to Europe due to persecution, conflicts, and hardships, with over 350,000 having already arrived.
• Resource extraction and abuse are identified as significant drivers of 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 catalyst for future refugee crises by worsening volatile situations and increasing resource scarcity. Potential impacts include crop loss, disease spread, supply route disruptions, and more extreme weather events, which disproportionately affect the poor and marginalized.
• The document criticizes unequal trade agreements and corporate power, specifically mentioning the TPP and TTIP as agreements that favor corporations over people and contribute to poverty and environmental devastation in poorer countries.
