The launch of this Manifesto is an appeal to leaders, institutions, and communities to connect with the lived experience and critical perspectives of Indigenous peoples and local communities, women, and youth throughout the Global South.
We must avoid at all costs a new colonialism during the ‘clean energy transition’, and instead engage in a just and democratic transformation that moves us away from the neoliberal economic system.
‘The engines of this unjust status quo—capitalism, patriarchy, colonialism, and various fundamentalisms—are making a bad situation worse. Therefore, we must urgently debate and implement new visions of ecosocial transition and transformation that are gender-just, regenerative, and popular, that are at once local and international.‘
Allies in the Global North, including ORCIE, now need to promote the manifesto, share in the struggle and support creative collective visions and collective solutions. https://tinyurl.com/ecosocial-manifesto
