CLIMATE CRISIS AND DIRECT ACTION

The debate on the environmental question, climate change and the movements of struggle developed at the Carrara Congress highlighted that the very violent acceleration of the indiscriminate exploitation of the planet impressed by capitalism is producing pollution, environmental devastation and a rise in temperatures with deadly consequences on the environmental and social level. It follows that there can be no capitalist solution to a disaster caused by capitalism.

The mitigation strategies offered by governments and transnational corporations are mere greenwashing operations. Capitalism is also able to take advantage from the climate crisis. Governments and supranational institutions wear environmentalist masks to conceal their unwillingness to change things.

The only viable way to stop destruction is direct action from below and the transformation of the mode of production and distribution to be no longer oriented towards individual profit but towards the satisfaction of the needs of humanity. This also implies strengthening ongoing debates with those parts of the scientific community that study and assess climate change, sharing valuable tools against climatic denialism.

We call for greater FAI\u2019s commitment to the field of information and the fight against climate change and those who produce it.
