Working people and oppressed communities are suffering from an escalating climate crisis. Why have capitalists been unable to stop climate change? Capitalism’s relentless drive towards profit brushes aside the real emergency and proposes solutions that leave loopholes for corporations to continue polluting undisturbed. That’s why we face a growing economic crisis for working people, the extinction of ocean life, the potential irreversible destruction of old growth forests, desertification, unleashed zoonotic diseases, and pollution filled air in our urban centers. This includes the attack on indigenous lands.
Hear experts and activists from around the world explain why the solution must be eco-socialism. An eco-socialist future is one in which we can democratically plan the work of reversing climate change and providing real economic justice for those who work for a living.
