PRINCIPIOS DE AMIGOS DE LA TIERRA INTERNACIONAL PARA UNA RECUPERACIÓN CON JUSTICIA AMBIENTAL, SOCIAL, DE GÉNERO Y ECONÓMICA

Friends of the Earth International argues that the COVID-19 pandemic is a consequence of a capitalist and neoliberal system that prioritizes profit over people and nature. To achieve a 'just recovery,' the organization proposes four principles: abandoning neoliberalism and austerity, enhancing multilateral cooperation and international solidarity, strengthening democracy and human rights, and addressing the structural causes of systemic crises (climate, biodiversity, food, and care). The document calls for the nationalization of key public services, the cancellation of Global South debt, a transition to 100% renewable energy under public or community control, and the implementation of agroecological food systems. It specifically emphasizes the need to protect the rights of Indigenous peoples, Black and Afro-descendant communities, and women, while ending the impunity of transnational corporations.

• The COVID-19 pandemic is viewed as a result of a systemic economic model that prioritizes profit over human rights and the environment, driven by neoliberal globalization and the power of transnational corporations.
• A 'just recovery' requires the abandonment of neoliberalism and austerity in favor of public policies that prioritize the common good, including the nationalization or community control of essential services such as health, water, energy, and education.
• Economic recovery packages and public spending should prioritize marginalized groups, including Indigenous peoples, Black and Afro-descendant communities, migrants, rural women, and the working class.
• The document calls for the total cancellation of the Global South's debt, arguing that the North owes an 'ecological debt' and should provide non-reimbursable grants instead of loans.
• To address the climate crisis, the document advocates for a transition to 100% renewable energy under state or community ownership, the cessation of fossil fuel and mining projects, and the payment of the historical climate debt by the Global North.
• The food system must be transformed from industrial agriculture toward food sovereignty and agroecology, including the implementation of popular land reforms and the end of seed privatization.
• The document emphasizes the need for a legally binding international instrument at the UN to end the impunity of transnational corporations regarding human rights violations.
