Declaración de Kandy

The Kandy Declaration, emerging from the 3rd Global Nyéléni Forum in Sri Lanka, calls for a systemic transformation to combat the intersecting crises of climate, health, and food insecurity. It advocates for the protection of the 'commons'—including seeds, water, and land—against corporate extractivism and the 'blue' and 'green' neoliberal regimes. The document commits to a feminist and popular transition toward agroecology, a just energy transition, and the reform of the UN multilateral system to prioritize people over corporate interests.

• The document identifies a systemic crisis driven by capitalism and imperialism, which converts biodiversity and ecosystems into consumable products while promoting corporate mining and monocultures through institutions like the World Bank, IMF, and WTO.
• New colonial frontiers are emerging through 'green' and 'blue' neoliberal regimes and the financialization of territories, leading to increased land grabbing and the displacement of rural and urban communities.
• The industrial agro-model is criticized for undermining the right to food and health through the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers, agrotochemicals, genetically modified organisms, and industrial aquaculture.
• The declaration calls for a just and feminist energy transition that treats energy as a common good, ensuring community-led renewable energy and local control over energy resources.
• There is a demand for the transformation of the UN multilateral system to remove corporate influence, specifically calling for the protection of the FAO and WHO from corporate appropriation and the full implementation of UNDRIP and UNDROP.
• The movement supports a legally binding treaty to hold transnational corporations accountable for human rights violations and advocates for a strong Global Plastics Treaty to end plastic pollution and digital biopiracy.
