We proudly present you our new policy paper “Ecofeminist proposals for climate action. How debt swaps and carbon markets boycott urgent just transitions. The case of Madagascar », a research conducted in collaboration with our partner ODG, with which we hope to contribute to spread the feminist and decolonial proposals for debt and climate policies, for COP30 and beyond.

In concrete, we point out the problems of debt swaps and carbon markets, two mechanisms that we consider as false solutions, because they neither solve the debt problem nor alleviate the worst consequences of the climate emergency in Madagascar. On the contrary, they allow the countries of the Global North to avoid assuming their historical responsibilities.

To achieve a just transition, climate policies must include the notion of reparations, recognizing the invisibilized debts, like the ecological, colonial and reproductive debts that the Global North owes to the Global South, and that we owe to women.

The French version will be available soon (la version française sera bientôt disponible).
