The decarbonization of the rich, which is market-based and export-oriented,
depends on a new phase of environmental despoliation of the Global South,
which affects the lives of millions of women, men, and children, not to
mention non-human life. Women, especially from agrarian societies, are
amongst the most impacted (from the Manifesto for an Ecosocial Energy
Transition from the Peoples of the South
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfl_OW5eY_lZNABezGBhsbL3fy2xPOSpB0qwifkjnkA0B6y1A/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0>
)

The current model of ecological transition is inscribed in the same
exploitative, colonial, patriarchal paradigm of late capitalism, ready to
sacrifice life on the planet for the gain and power of the very few. How to
think and act for a truly *just *transition that protects life in all its
forms against extractive neoliberal forces at work today? What are the
strategies and tactics of eco-feminists, popular, community, and
territorial feminisms emerging today in those territories that are the most
affected by the so-called ‘ecological’ transition?

As a basis for our conversation, we will discuss some of the points
highlighted in the  Manifesto for an Ecosocial Energy Transition from the
Peoples of the South
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfl_OW5eY_lZNABezGBhsbL3fy2xPOSpB0qwifkjnkA0B6y1A/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0>
*  an important document that illustrates the dynamics at stake and how
they impact people in different territories. We highly suggest reading and
circulating it!
