    Originally published: Global Ecosocialist Network on June 4, 2022 by Paul Murphy and Jess Spear (more by Global Ecosocialist Network)  | (Posted Jun 18, 2022)

    We need degrowth in industries ranging from armaments and advertising to fast fashion and fossil fuels, together with a dramatic reduction in consumption of the richest 1% who are responsible for 15% of emissions.

    Originally published: Global Ecosocialist Network on April 13, 2021 by Claude Calame (more by Global Ecosocialist Network)  | (Posted Apr 17, 2021)

    The 149 proposals issued by the French Citizens’ Convention on Climate last June, with the goal of achieving at least a 40% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2030 compared to 1990, manifestly belong to a thoroughly reformist approach.

    Ecosocialism: A vital synthesis

    Originally published: Global Ecosocialist Network on December 10, 2020 (more by Global Ecosocialist Network)  |

    The capitalist system, driven at its core by the maximization of profit, regardless of social and ecological costs, is incompatible with a just and sustainable future. Ecosocialism offers a radical alternative that puts social and ecological well-being first.

    Oil spill threatens disaster for Mauritius

    Originally published: Global Ecosocialist Network on August 10, 2020 (more by Global Ecosocialist Network)  | (Posted Aug 18, 2020)

    The Japanese-owned (Mitsui-operated) MV Wakashio was en route to Brazil from China to fetch iron ore from a port owned by the notorious mining company Vale. Here the ship is seen having run aground near Blue Bay, one of the area’s most pristine sites for coral, already threatened by bleaching due to the climate crisis. Now the marine life and fisherfolk must survive this spill.

    Lebanon explosion is an ecosocialist issue

    Originally published: Global Ecosocialist Network on August 7, 2020 by John Molyneux (more by Global Ecosocialist Network)  | (Posted Aug 10, 2020)

    In saying that the terrible explosion in Beirut is an ecosocialist issue I am not counterposing this claim to the fact that this is also an issue of corruption, of government incompetence, of health and safety and many other things.

    Catastrophe is upon us–the grim view from Southern Africa

    Originally published: Global Ecosocialist Network on January 28, 2020 by Rehad Desai (more by Global Ecosocialist Network)  | (Posted Feb 13, 2020)

    The word catastrophe is being used more and more by institutions reporting on the effects of extreme weather in the two regions of Africa, Southern and South Eastern Africa, and of late Australia. The word means a number of things: tragic; fiasco; utter failure; sudden and violent change in a feature of the Earth. All are completely fitting for the situation we now face.

    Welcome to Global Ecosocialist Network

    Originally published: Global Ecosocialist Network on January 26, 2020 by John Molyneux (more by Global Ecosocialist Network)  | (Posted Jan 29, 2020)

    The Global Ecosocialist Network (GEN) is being launched at a moment of extreme danger for humanity. The intensity of the crisis and the scale of the danger is hard to grasp or express adequately because, unless you are in one of the parts of the world currently experiencing extreme weather, it cannot yet literally be seen. And even where the danger is actually being experienced there are very powerful forces at work to obscure its real causes.

    Harry Magdoff | F 16N Fighting Falcon | MR Online

    In this reprint of the February 1994 “Notes from the Editors,” former MR editors Harry Magdoff and Paul M. Sweezy ask: “The United States could not have won a more decisive victory in the Cold War. Why, then, does it continue to act as though the Cold War is still on?”
