A transition away from fossil fuels must be just, equitable and ecological — this is central to our vision for a Global Green New Deal.
Image
Just, equitable and ecological transitions are fundamentally about justice – inseparable from equity and fairness. Justice for all people, waged and unwaged, and justice for our planet and all its beings.
To secure justice, we must imagine and build alternative systems which better address the root causes of the socio-ecological collapse we are experiencing. Basing these systems on values of care and repair is critical to winning the widespread popular support needed for transitions to be successful.

Climate
The climate crisis is the most pressing ethical and political issue of our lifetime. We have ten years left to keep global heating to a maximum of 1.5°C and avoid catastrophic climate violence.

Food
The global food system is broken. Although there is enough fertile land in the world to grow food for everyone, industrial agriculture feeds corporate profits instead of people.

Garment workers
The global garment industry employs up to 60 million people worldwide and makes billions in profits each year. Yet most garment workers, mainly young women, have never benefited from this wealth.

Global Green New Deal
Together with our Global South partners and allies, War on Want is campaigning for a Global Green New Deal to deliver a just transition to fairer, greener societies and economies, to protect people and planet.

Militarism and repression
Militarised wars and conflicts are major causes of global poverty. Caused by governments, companies, or individuals, they devastate and displace communities, and lead to grave human rights abuses, the loss of life, livelihoods, and social protections.

Trade deals
Trade affects almost every aspect of our lives. From the food we eat to the price of medicine, our private data and our ability to take action on the climate crisis, trade deals shape our societies and livelihoods.
