Decolonizing environmental justice Or: Why environmental/climate justice means dismantling colonialism and not just cutting emissions.

Policy Objective

Energy & Environment Policy Instruments πŸ‘‡

Remember: Policy instruments are the means by which governments can achieve the degrowth goals/objectives we urgently need!

πŸ’‘ Translation: Climate justice starts with land back, reparations, and dismantling corporate and military control.

🏞 Return stolen land and recognise Indigenous and frontline communities as primary stewards of ecosystems.

πŸ›‘ Ban extractive industries (logging, mining, oil drilling) from Indigenous and occupied lands without consent.

🌍 End neocolonial β€˜green’ solutions like carbon offset schemes, debt-driven climate finance, and corporate-controlled conservation projects.

πŸ’° Ensure climate reparations and resource redistribution so Global South nations and frontline communities have the power to shape their own futures.

🏴 Dismantle corporate and military control over natural resources, prioritising community-led and cooperative energy and land management.

πŸ’₯ There is no climate justice without decolonization.
