Every monument of civlisation is also a symbol of barbarism. Colonial mind set in Climate Change Negotiations, and climate justice movement is not clued in on this.. when you dont have we think of the present in developing countries..

Who is going to fund the transition? What does the transition look like: ? Do we want to modernise capitalism? Is that what the game is? The big corporations would like public finance to underwrite their transition.
It is not a question of funding alone. It is a question of acknowledging It is also a question of technology. Patents is a way of collecting rent from our distress, not only from COVID but also from Climate Change.
When we talk about climate finance, 16 trillion dollars were created to underwrite corporate losses during the pandemic. . But they cant find 100 billion dollars, a year for the climate fund. Creat a new open source patent regime.

What role do we play? Movement building? Do all movements have to look the same? We have to build a rich body of movements .
Does the climate justice movement see the farmers movement in India as part of its movement? that is the question for us. Linked to that is the question of hunger.
The struggle against war! Is that not part of the climate movement? The largest institutional polluter is the Military.
Do not expect us to mimic what you are doing? Look at the movements there and exisitng for justice to transform the world.
