JUNT@S PODEMOS TRANSFORMAR EL SISTEMA ENERGÉTICO

The document presents a manifesto for 'Energy Sovereignty Now!', calling for a shift away from capitalist and neoliberal energy models toward a system centered on human rights, environmental justice, and community control. It outlines ten demands, including the transition to 100% renewable energy, the recognition of energy as a common good rather than a commodity, and the implementation of a just transition that protects workers and marginalized groups. The manifesto emphasizes the historical responsibility of the Global North to provide climate finance and lead in emission reductions, while advocating for decentralized, small-scale renewable technologies managed democratically by local communities.

• The current global energy system, driven by a dominant economic model, has caused extreme inequality, biodiversity collapse, and the climate crisis, necessitating a complete system change rather than minor corrections.
• Energy should be treated as a common good and a basic human right rather than a commodity, with the sun and wind viewed as shared resources that exist to meet human needs instead of generating corporate profit.
• Energy consumption is profoundly unequal; the richest 10% of the population produces as many carbon emissions as the rest of the world combined, and the richest 1% has added twice as much carbon to the atmosphere as the 3.5 billion poorest people.
• Wealthy nations in the Global North bear a massive historical responsibility for climate change and are legally obligated to provide climate finance, which should be funded by redirecting military spending, taxing the rich, and eliminating tax havens.
• A transition to 100% renewable energy must include an immediate halt to all new 'dirty energy' projects worldwide, including fossil fuels, nuclear energy, mega-dams, industrial biofuels, biomass, and waste incineration.
• The most equitable path to renewable energy is through decentralized, small-scale technologies managed by communities and municipalities under democratic control to increase resilience and protect biodiversity.
• A truly just transition must protect the rights and livelihoods of energy sector workers and be grounded in anti-capitalist feminism, ensuring that public funding strengthens social infrastructure rather than bailing out transnational corporations.
• Climate justice is inseparable from social justice and requires the dismantling of structural oppressions, including patriarchy, racism, and classism, and the establishment of public care systems to reduce the disproportionate burden on women.
