Climate Justice vs. False Solutions to climate change

Achieving climate justice requires us to oppose greenwash “solutions” to climate change that protect the status quo and enable corporations to profit from the climate crisis.

About the issue

Climate Change links the issues of social injustice, ecological destruction and economic domination.

To successfully address the climate crisis, we must identify and address these connections through broad and visionary alliances to identify and address their common root causes.

Climate justice will never come from corporations or from schemes based on the market, because the market is what got us into this crisis in the first place.

Our Accomplishments

Co-founded Durban Group for Climate Justice in 2004; Climate Justice Now! in Balli, Indonesia in 2007. Co-organized the historic Peoples’ Assembly and Reclaim Power march out at the 2009 UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen.
Used writing, analysis and public protest to expose the extent of corporate influence on UN climate and biodiversity negotiations. Highlighted the exclusion of Indigenous Peoples, social movements and other stakeholders from UN decision-making.
Brought together networks and alliances to address the root causes of the climate crisis and expose dangerous false solutions to climate and biodiversity crises.

Fighting False Solutions

We advance climate justice by exposing and challenging false solutions to climate change and by protecting forests and defending the rights of the peoples who have historically kept those forests standing. Forests house 80% of the world’s biodiversity, yet they are being destroyed on a massive scale across the planet for fake greenwashed climate “solutions.” These include:

• widespread burning for biochar and biomass electricity

• plantations of GE trees that grow or store carbon faster for use as so-called “carbon offsets” to allow polluters to continue polluting;

• Rare earth minerals for solar panels and electric cars;

• hydro-electric dams

• vast industrial oil palm plantations for biodiesel
