text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">The next United Nations
conference on climate change will take place from the 6th to
17th of November in Bonn, Germany 2017 – with Mother Earth
heating up dramatically and humanity plagued by unprecedented
adverse weather and rising sea levels. The capitalist system,
fuelled by the profit greed, is not capable of addressing the
current climate crisis. Even the COP21 Paris Agreement and its
inadequate proposals to keep temperature increases below 2
degrees celsius is in limbo, with the recent pull out by U.S.
President Donald Trump.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: none; margin: 0px 0px
1rem; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit; line-height: 1.6;
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">This year we witnessed the
increased impacts of climate change both in scale and intensity:
hurricanes (Harvey, Irma, Maria, etc.), floods (India, Nepal,
Bangladesh, Sierra Leone, etc.), storms, droughts, heat waves
and more. Hundreds of thousands of people displaced, thousands
killed, and total disappearance of some island territories. In
many cases, peoples have lost all the resources needed for
living. The most affected: peasants, poor people, rural workers,
the indigenous, the fisherfolk.<span id="more-6679"

<p style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: none; margin: 0px 0px
1rem; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit; line-height: 1.6;
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">We know the cause of this
climate crisis: the global industrial food system is responsible
for over 50% of greenhouse gas emissions through intensive use
of agrochemicals, toxins, fossil energy, freight land grabbing
and forest degradation through plantations, mining, logging etc.
Perpetrators of the crisis, using their "monetary muscle", now
lobby and push for false solutions: "climate-smart" agriculture,
GMOs, REDD and REDD+, "blue carbon", and all other green economy
schemes that seek the financialization of nature and its
services. Multinationals pollute the climate negotiations and
make them the place of economic and financial power over
peoples, to the detriment of our rights.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: none; margin: 0px 0px
1rem; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit; line-height: 1.6;
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">As the COP23 draws nearer,
we reaffirm the importance of struggling for public policies
that promote and support agroecology, local community-controlled
energy systems and collective action for a just transition away
from fossil fuels and against the false energy solutions that
encourage corporate capture of our natural resources. Our
peasant agroecology feeds the soil with organic matter,
conserves and recovers biodiversity, using the knowledge of our
peoples and our Mother Earth to feed us. We reject any attempt
by agribusiness to co-opt agroecology and commit ourselves to
defending and promoting our peasant agroecology!</p>
<p style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: none; margin: 0px 0px
1rem; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit; line-height: 1.6;
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">For Vía Campesina, our
lands, our knowledge, our seeds, our rights are not negotiable!
We call for the strengthening of all mobilizations against this
system that engenders the current and future climate crimes. We
must fight against all free trade agreements and disastrous oil,
gas and mining projects as well as all exclusionary mega
projects (dams, highways, airports, plantations, etc). We must
urgently transform the financial, social and ecological
production systems, as well as the sharing of labor and wealth,
the preservation of common goods such as water, land, flora and
fauna.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: none; margin: 0px 0px
1rem; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit; line-height: 1.6;
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">We call upon our allies,
friends and social movements to mobilize together with the civil
society outside the UN climate talks in Bonn, spreading our
voice and our true solutions.</p>
