Global Green New Deal

We campaign for a just transition to fairer, greener societies and economies, to protect people and planet.

To tackle the climate crisis and growing inequality, we need a just transition of our societies which goes further than ending fossil fuels or creating green jobs. It must tackle the causes of injustice: the exploitation of workers, the plunder of the Global South, and the destruction of nature. Power and wealth must be shared fairly, so that everyone can thrive within the Earth’s limits. This is our vision of a Global Green New Deal.
