Statement

Collection of data and assessments of consequences of climate change is crucial. However, we already have data that evidences the profound mismatch between neoliberal capitalism, together with patriarchy, racism and colonialism and the right to development and the environmental crisis. This discrepancy will only bring more exclusion, inequality and social control that impacts disproportionally on the most vulnerable and marginalized groups; and will never bring development, and even less sustainable development. 

We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to resist Israeli systems of settler colonialism and apartheid, and the ongoing oppression, dispossession, displacement, ethnic cleansing, and human rights violations they have faced for decades.

We make this statement on behalf of the Sexual Rights Initiative, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and the Center for Reproductive Rights.
