Synopsis

The Green New Deal Is About Power
The European Commission’s Green Deal is history’s most ambitious exercise in greenwashing — it falls far below what the Commission itself says is necessary to achieve a just transition, and it fails to address Europe's legacy of extraction and plunder across the global south. To win this fight — in Europe and abroad — activists need to shift from a mode of reaction to a mode of invention, developing concrete political demands and strategies to achieve them.
