Forests are more than carbon
The Friends of the Earth International´s Climate and Energy Program recognises that we must challenging dominant, corporate-driven political and economic model that is the driver of both the global competition for energy and of climate change.
The just and equitable sustainable alternative is energy sovereignty: the power and the right of the people and the communities to have access and decide their energy resources and healthy energy consumption patterns that will lead to sustainable societies. This, combined with the need for all people to share an equitable amount of resources within ecological limits, is essential to achieving climate justice.
Friends of the Earth International will engage people, communities and sectors to move towards climate justice and energy sovereignty.
