JUNT@S PODEMOS TRANSFORMAR EL S ISTEMA ENERGÉT ICO

The document outlines ten demands for transforming the global energy system, emphasizing the need to dismantle capitalist and patriarchal structures to achieve energy sovereignty. It advocates for a transition to 100% renewable energy based on decentralized, small-scale technologies and the redistribution of climate finance from the Global North to the Global South to address historical ecological debts.

• The current economic model, based on the commodification and privatization of nature, has led to an ecological and social crisis, necessitating a complete system change rather than minor adjustments.
• Energy should be treated as a common good and a basic human right, not as a commodity for corporate profit, to ensure that the needs of people and communities are prioritized over shareholder gains.
• Energy sufficiency is required to balance universal access for the poor with the elimination of excessive consumption by elites and corporations, particularly in the Global North.
• Developed nations owe a climate debt to the Global South due to historical over-consumption and resource exploitation; this requires a massive transfer of public funds to support mitigation and adaptation.
• A transition to 100% renewable energy must be rapid and include a total ban on new 'dirty energy' projects, including fossil fuels, nuclear power, industrial biomass, and large-scale dams.
• Renewable energy technologies should be decentralized, small-scale, and locally appropriate to avoid 'green land grabbing' and to increase climate resilience against extreme weather events.
• Energy sovereignty requires that the production and use of energy be owned and controlled by the people, with a specific emphasis on the inclusion of women and marginalized groups in decision-making.
• A 'just transition' must protect the rights and livelihoods of energy sector workers and communities, ensuring they have decision-making power over the future of energy and food systems.
• Corporate interests and government subsidies for dirty energy act as significant barriers to the implementation of community-led renewable energy projects.
• Climate justice is inseparable from social and gender justice; the document argues that patriarchal and racist structures exacerbate the impacts of climate change, particularly for women of color and indigenous women.
