Remember: Policy instruments are the means by which governments can achieve the degrowth goals/objectives we urgently need!
Policy Objective
Energy & Environment Policy Instruments π
1 - Decolonise land, resources, and governance π»
π‘ Translation: Climate justice starts with land back, reparations, and dismantling corporate and military control.
π Return stolen land and recognise Indigenous and frontline communities as primary stewards of ecosystems.
π Ban extractive industries (logging, mining, oil drilling) from Indigenous and occupied lands without consent.
π End neocolonial βgreenβ solutions like carbon offset schemes, debt-driven climate finance, and corporate-controlled conservation projects.
π° Ensure climate reparations and resource redistribution so Global South nations and frontline communities have the power to shape their own futures.
π΄ Dismantle corporate and military control over natural resources, prioritising community-led and cooperative energy and land management.
π₯ There is no climate justice without decolonization.
