Friends of the Earth International’s pathways to system change.
System change is a powerful idea and a political struggle for a better world. Powerful because it’s about addressing the root causes of today’s ecological, economic and social crises. It is about making deep, far-reaching and lasting change that goes beyond winning individual campaigns.
Our demand for system change is:
- Honest – about the true scale, urgency and complexity of the challenges we face.
- Realistic – we know social and political injustices and the ecological crisis are intertwined, and that change in one area will help achieve progress in others.
- Collective – it embraces the potential for diverse communities and social movements and organisations to solve environmental, social, gender and economic challenges together.
- Inspirational – it is a rallying cry that resonates with peoples all over
the world who face similar threats and share the same rights and aspirations.
