Technology must be socially controlled and embedded in diverse forms of knowledge and cultures
This means ensuring the development of local knowledge through sovereign science, supported by fair and internationalist technology transfer

We need to address the core drivers of the climate crisis and say NO to #FalseSolutions
These schemes, pushed by extractive and high-emissions industries and their backers, only delay climate action
For a Feminist and Just Energy Transition
We need a radical overhaul of the global economic, trade, and
financial systems
Our current systems are built on debt, fiscal exploitation and tax injustice that fuel extractivism and accelerate climate collapse.

We demand the demilitarisation of territories and the dismantling of the military-industrial complex
Peoples' right to self-determination and a dignified life must be safeguarded. There is no room for apartheid states or genocidal campaigns in a FJET
We strongly condemn and denounce the acid attack against Andrie Yunus and express our full solidarity with him and all people’s rights defenders in Indonesia.
This attack signals a growing threat to HRs and environmental defenders across the country.

The struggle for a #BindingTreaty on transnational corporations and human rights is far more than a struggle for corporate regulation.
It is a struggle for life, dignity and the sovereignty of peoples long sacrificed on the altar of corporate profit.

Through Investor-State Dispute Settlement mechanisms, transnational corporations have created their own global private court system.
In the face of human rights violations against peoples and communities, this guarantees their impunity.

With @foeeurope.bsky.social
We need a legally #BindingTreaty to pave the way for justice for the peoples affected by corporate violations and to hold those very same transnational corporations to account.
Relying on corporations to voluntarily regulate themselves presents a clear conflict of interest and will never work
Regardless of ambiguity or conflict between the #BindingTreaty and any other international agreement, human rights must always prevail, and the peoples and communities affected by transnational corporations must always receive the most effective remedy.
Transnational corporations have been central drivers of today’s climate and ecological crises and continue to use denial, delay and disinformation to block meaningful climate action.

There is no justice in replacing an exploitative system with a renewable energy system built on injustice, dispossession and extractivism.
No land or community should be sacrificed for profit-making in fossil fuels, renewables and beyond.
The #BindingTreaty meant to secure access to justice for those affected by transnational corporations must centre the needs of those communities and peoples, not the desires of corporations.
From the Amazon to Palestine, it’s time to #StopCorporateImpunity
At the #BindingTreaty intersessionals, we’re gathering with affected communities and social movements to demand an end to corporate impunity.
Transnational corporations are sacrificing peoples and planet in the name of profit. We need a legally binding instrument to dismantle their corporate power.
We're at the #BindingTreaty intersessionals in Geneva, Switzerland, as part of @stoptncimpunity.bsky.social to demand an end to corporate impunity.
Alongside affected communities and social movements, we remain steadfast in our fight for an effective treaty that dismantles corporate power.
Extractive industries have always relied on structural racism to justify their plunder of resources and theft of land.
They endanger the ways of life of racialised and Indigenous communities
In a feminist and just energy transition, colonial continuities need to be disrupted

Energy sovereignty is key 🗝️ Processes of energy production, distribution and consumption must be under public control.

Decent work is key to transforming the system. This means:
👥Decent, unionised work for women, trans-, and gender non-conforming people
❌No pay gap
🟰Equal opportunities
⚖️The right to care and a decent life

On 12/3, Andrie Yunus, human rights defender in Indonesia, was attacked. Individuals threw a chemical on him.
There is a growing threat to all people's rights defenders in Indonesia. In solidarity with them, we call on the international community to denounce the attack.

On this 8 March we honour the courage of women and gender-diverse people who defend life, territory, and collective rights.
The struggle for #GenderJustice is inseparable from the struggle for life itself, and it is a struggle we will continue together.

Given the meagre outcome of ICARRD+20, it becomes even more important to return to the final declaration of the ‘Forum of Peoples and Social Movements: United for Land, Water, Territories and Dignity’, held on 22-23 February.
Popular Agrarian Reform Now!
www.foodsovereignty.org/icarrd20-mus...
Yesterday marked the end of #ICARRD+20, and the social movements in Cartagena rejected the official declaration.
Land redistribution, Recognition, Restitution and Regulation must form the axes of an intergal agrarian reform, they said.

#AgrarianReform
🌾 Territories under the stewardship of Indigenous Peoples, peasants and other rural communities are among the most biodiverse and resilient ecosystems on Earth.
On the 4th day of #ICARRD20 in Cartagena, Colombia, social movements highlight their role for transformative Agrarian Reform! 👇
Despite their crucial role, small-scale fisherfolk continue to bemarginalised indecision-making processes. Their inclusion is key to ensuring rights and justice.
Agrarian Reform cannot remain limited to land, but must fully recognise marine and coastal territories as spaces of life!
#ICARRD20
AGRICULTURAL REFORM is a historic debt owed to the people. We need to urgently halt corporate encroachment on territories, land and water.
ICARRD+20 has begun in Cartagena, Colombia, and the popular struggle for comprehensive #AgrarianReform for the people and with #EnvironmentalJustice is underway.
🌱✊ In the North and the South, the West and the East, we need agrarian reforms that recognise peoples’ rights to sovereignty in their lands, waters and territories.
On the last day of the Forum of the Peoples in Cartagena, this is the agrarian reform we need to build 👇
