A presentation by Anne Petermann, Co-Director of the Global Justice Ecology Project at the Left Forum, New York City, March 15
Global warming is humanity’s greatest challenge.
As such, we must tackle this issue on several fronts.
We must build opposition to the corporate-controlled false solutions to climate change that dominates the media, in order to open space for discussion of real solutions.
We must make climate justice a core part of our work.
We must make broad and visionary alliances with allied movements around the world, and we must begin the fundamental transformation of society that will be required to truly and effectively address the climate crisis.
The entire talk (including some excellent photos of grassroots protests during the Bali Conference) is at http://www.globaljusticeecology.org/
Those magnificent lines evoked, once again, the following subject.
Would you care to comment on the reports about Segolene Royal’s recent support of Porto Rico’s independence and self-determination at her visit to Harvard University?
