Message to COP15 from www.ecofem.org
The challenge of climate change cannot be met without the following:
1) A fundmental re-evaluation of the moral value of the nonhuman.
2) A thorough appreciation of the intersection between environmental
sustainability and the operation of class, gender and international relations.
3) A radical beneficial revision of Western patterns of consumption.
Reliance on the market and technological innovation will not tackle anthropocentric greenhouse gases.
Climate change represents an opportunity to ameliorate militaristic, capitalist and environmental crime,
and to re-define our understandings of development, sustainability, progress, flourishing and species interdependency.
