10 principes clés pour une transition énergétique équitable et féministe

The report outlines a framework for an energy transition that prioritizes gender justice, human rights, and systemic transformation over corporate profit. It argues that the current fossil-fuel-based system is rooted in patriarchal and colonial oppression, which disproportionately affects women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and Indigenous peoples. The proposed transition is based on ten principles: feminist popular power, a life-centered feminist economy, decent work, energy sovereignty, colonial reparations, the right to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC), demilitarization, fair public finance, the rejection of 'false solutions' like carbon markets, and the decolonization of knowledge and technology. The document emphasizes that renewable energy deployment must not replicate existing inequalities or lead to new forms of extractivism, particularly in the Global South.

• Climate disasters disproportionately impact women and LGBTQIA+ individuals; women's mortality rate during climate catastrophes is 14 times higher than that of men, and they constitute 80% of the world's climate-displaced population.
• Women human rights and environmental defenders (WEHRD) face severe gender-based violence and repression; between 2012 and 2023, 35,077 incidents of violence were recorded against 8,926 women defenders across five examined countries, including 200 deaths.
• The renewable energy sector continues to exhibit significant gender gaps; women represent only 32% of employees in renewables globally, compared to 48% of the general global labor market, and often face a 20% wage gap compared to male colleagues in equal positions.
• Energy sovereignty requires the de-privatization of energy, treating it as a universal right and a public common rather than a commodity for profit, and shifting from centralized grids to decentralized, community-managed systems.
• The transition to renewable energy risks creating new 'sacrifice zones' through 'green extractivism,' as seen in Argentina's Jujuy province, where lithium extraction threatens Indigenous land rights and water resources.
• Military operations contribute significantly to carbon emissions—estimated at 5.5% of global emissions—yet remain largely exempt from accountability and are rarely included in national climate strategies.
• Global financial structures perpetuate a 'fossil fuel debt trap' for the Global South; for example, in Mozambique, gas projects are projected to provide low real returns while increasing debt and risking billions in losses through Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanisms.
• The report rejects 'Nature-based Solutions' (NBS) and carbon markets as 'false solutions' that facilitate greenwashing, allow polluters to avoid real emission cuts, and lead to land grabbing and the violation of Indigenous and women's land rights.
• Technological sovereignty is hindered by Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and the TRIPS agreement, which the document argues should be waived for environmentally sound technologies during the climate emergency to allow local production in the Global South.
