There is no mention of effective and fair solutions such as
respecting the land rights of forest peoples, promoting clean democratic energy or ensuring
food sovereignty for communities and small farmers, all of which would keep carbon safely locked up underground and in trees and soils.
We required this agreement to say: «For emission reductions we need to have a just energy transition with a focus on community - based renewable energy, we need to have a sustainable
food system where land rights are
respected and
food sovereignty are at the forefront, and we need to not sign onto any of these international trade deals that put people and the planet behind profit.»
