economic globalization hurts

Neoliberal policies are leading to a global system of unsustainable production and consumption that benefits giant corporations but fails people. The natural resources that sustain livelihoods are being extracted and destroyed, while inequality between people and societies is increasing.

less wto, more sustainable economies

We are campaigning to replace corporate globalization with fair and sustainable economies, based on democracy, diversity, reduced consumption, cooperation and caution. The unsustainable use of energy, fish, forests, metals and minerals, land, water and biodiversity needs to be stopped and people's livelihoods protected. Food and environment and development agreements should not be subject to trade rules. We are working with others to curb the power and scope of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and other regional and bilateral trade liberalisation agreements.
