Over twenty years have passed since governments within the United Nations Framework Conventi... more Over twenty years have passed since governments within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) began to discuss the impending climate crisis. Year after year, we witness the talks moving further away from identifying the root causes of climate change while the increasing impacts affect even more peoples and regions. Every meeting has given more space for corporate involvement and less to the voices of those directly affected by these climate policies. Despite the promoters’ fancy “green” campaigns and videos, the main focus at the climate negotiations continues to be about saving the free-market economy for those who are holding the cards – the biggest transnational corporations and financial institutions. This booklet is not about the coming climate talks per se, but about years of struggle, passion and commitment for environmental, social and climate justice. It is about reflecting and carrying this into future generations. The writings found in the following pages are contributions from grounded and committed activists, researchers, scholars, feminists and thinkers. These experienced voices work within wide networks of dynamic peoples and groups. They continue to push the limits in the quest towards justice. This booklet attempts to help build an understanding of the root causes of climate change beyond the fallacy of the UNFCCC negotiations and contemporary media hype.
