PRINCIPES POUR UNE REPRISE JUSTE, fondée sur la justice environnementale, sociale, économique et de genre

Friends of the Earth International proposes a framework for a 'just recovery' following the COVID-19 pandemic, asserting that the crisis is a result of a neoliberal, capitalist, and patriarchal system. The report outlines four principles: abandoning neoliberalism and austerity, fostering multilateral cooperation and international solidarity, strengthening democracy and human rights, and implementing a transformative system change. Key recommendations include the abolition of debts for the Global South, the transition to 100% renewable energy, the promotion of food sovereignty through agroecology, and the end of corporate impunity for transnational companies.

• The COVID-19 pandemic is framed as a consequence of a systemic economic model that prioritizes profits over people and the environment, driven by neoliberal globalization and the power of multinational corporations.
• A 'just recovery' requires the immediate abandonment of neoliberalism and austerity, shifting the role of the State toward the common good and the sustainability of life, and ensuring public services like health, water, and energy are under public or community control.
• Public recovery funds must prioritize marginalized groups, including indigenous peoples, Black and Afro-descendant communities, women, and workers, while strictly prohibiting bailouts for fossil fuel companies, mining firms, and airlines.
• International solidarity must include the total abolition of debts for the Global South, the payment of historical climate and ecological debts by the North, and the removal of patents and intellectual property rights from COVID-19 treatments and vaccines.
• The report calls for a transition to a 100% renewable energy system managed by the State and communities, replacing polluting energy systems and ensuring energy sovereignty based on the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities.
• To address the biodiversity and health crises, the document advocates for food sovereignty, the support of peasant and family farming through agroecology, and the recognition of indigenous peoples' collective rights to manage territories.
• The document demands the end of corporate impunity through a legally binding international instrument on transnational corporations and human rights, and the dismantling of Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanisms.
