Synopsis
"The absence of immediate global strategies to address the climate crisis hast the potential for incalculable impact, and we must look beyond Paris. For almost a decade, the possibility of a Green New Deal has been gaining momentum among progressive actors, serving as a common agenda for international political platforms. The idea appears simple: to end austerity, invest locally, restore social welfare and found a sustainable economy based in resources and technologies that do not harm the environment.

But can the most vulnerable countries afford to adopt this vision? Is it compatible with the accelerated and extricative digital transformation of developed countries? No matter which version of the Green New Deal we look at, there always seems to be a reproduction of colonialist and North-Atlantic tendency amidst an era of transnationalization, with no consideration for the future vision of the Global South. This is where the imbalance driving this unequal world is lived and suffered, but it is also where the possibility for a radical change in the system lies, and where new leaderships, voices and ideas must emerge; they must hold the relevant actors accountable in taking action regarding the current climate catastrophe, to ensure a prosperous future for all."
