The
Ecosocialist Alliance, organised in the UK for COP26 by Green Left, Left Unity
and Anti-Capitalist Resistance, has decided to continue as a campaigning group.
This is an invitation to an open Zoom meeting on 26 January for all who take an
ecosocialist view. Messages are being sent to those groups and individuals who
supported the Ecosocialist
Alliance COP26 statement.
Our collaboration
for COP26 was more successful than we could have hoped for, with 27 groups and over
60 individuals worldwide, supporting our statement. How can we build on this
for the future? How can we operate on a
local, national and international basis? As expected, COP26 itself delivered
little, despite the urgency of the climate crisis.
The meeting
will explore ideas for growing the alliance and think about how we can work
together in preparation for COP27, and perhaps other campaigns. We also need to
decide what kind of structure the alliance will have, and some ideas that we
have for that, but in the main we want to listen to others and an open discussion
session will be the centrepiece of the gathering.
Our original
idea, which remains unchanged, was to join together, to amplify our collective
voice, to demand real ecosocialist solutions to the climate crisis and the
gross inequality caused by the dominant world economic system, capitalism. Only by
moving away from this destructive system, of endless growth and accumulation,
can a rational, fair and ecological solution be achieved. Capitalists and compliant
governments cannot do this, only the people of the world can.
We do not doubt
the enormity of this challenge, but equally, we can’t afford to do nothing
given the seriousness of the situation. Come and join with us. Ecosocialism not Extinction!
The meeting is on 26 January 2022, 7pm to 8.30pm (GMT). To get details of how to access the meeting please email eco-socialist-action@protonmail.com.
There’s a big difference between “Climate change” or “global climate change” AND “ RAPID climate change” or “RAPID global climate change”
ReplyDeleteThe latter is caused by anomalies of human activities. The former is from Buffalo, birds with all kinds of aquatics! Remember, aquatics make 80% of the earth’s oxygen in our atmosphere. This natural dynamics of global climate change is what has been developed over millions of years. As opposed to this, human’s activities are more like
driving a Comet, into the Earth, ready to destroy everything in reach! All we need to do is “Look up‼️”
