CLIMATE JUSTICE AND PALESTINIAN LIBERATION: MAPPING THE COMPLICITY
Summary
The document links the systems of imperialism, neoliberalism, and colonialism to both climate breakdown and the genocide in Palestine. It details the catastrophic environmental and humanitarian impacts in Gaza, including the destruction of water, energy, and agricultural infrastructure. Furthermore, it identifies a network of transnational corporations—including arms manufacturers, energy companies, and financial institutions—that profit from and facilitate the occupation and military actions in Palestine.
Key insights
- The conflict in Gaza has caused severe environmental degradation and infrastructure collapse, with 90% of electricity infrastructure destroyed and no grid power since October 11, 2023. Water security is critical, as 93% of groundwater wells in Gaza were destroyed by June 2024, and over 98% of groundwater is unfit for consumption due to contamination from seawater, sewage, and toxic war materials.
- Agricultural and food systems in Gaza have been decimated, with 67.6% of cropland and 44.3% of greenhouses destroyed. This has contributed to famine-like conditions for 500,000 people in Gaza, while aid is actively blocked.
- Renewable energy infrastructure has been specifically targeted; 75% of water, wastewater, and desalination plants operating with solar panels were damaged or destroyed, including all wastewater treatment plant solar systems, resulting in losses exceeding US$10 million.
- A global supply chain of corporations facilitates the genocide through arms, energy, and finance. This includes US companies like Lockheed Martin and RTX, Israeli company Elbit, and energy firms such as Chevron, Total, Shell, and ENI. Financial institutions like Barclays and BNP Paribas provide critical support through 'war bonds' and investments in weapons companies.
