En este número de Biodiversidad, sustento y culturas, el editorial resalta: “Seguiremos entregando información veraz, resaltando los miles de ejemplos de lucha valiente que los pueblos y sus organizaciones continúan desplegando, desenmascarando las formas de acción del capital trasnacional y la violencia criminal, apoyando las muchas formas de resistencia que hoy se construyen. Los tiempos son oscuros, pero el futuro sigue siendo nuestro."

El proceso Nyéléni, nacido hace casi dos décadas
como una confluencia de movimientos campesinos,
indígenas, feministas y urbanos, ha vuelto a encontrarse,
esta vez en Kandy, Sri Lanka, para dar un paso más:
acordar una Agenda Política Común que articule luchas
diversas frente a las múltiples crisis del capitalismo global.
Esa agenda, lejos de ser un listado de demandas, se
constituye en un mapa político que expresa la madurez
de un movimiento internacional que no se limita a resistir,
sino que imagina y construye alternativas sistémicas.

On October 29, 55 movements and organizations from 14 Latin American and Caribbean countries published a powerful MANIFESTO rejecting carbon markets and defending territories against an avalanche of projects that are causing damage throughout the region. This manifesto challenges COP30 of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which will begin in the first week of November with high-level meetings.

As the 3rd Nyéléni Global Forum in Sri Lanka draws to a close, it’s exciting to reflect on the fact that this country - inhabited and loved by its people from coast to coast, and home to some of the world’s most biodiverse, verdant and abundant forests, rivers and wetlands - is also poised to become the birthplace of a new global meta-movement of social movements committed to bringing health and vitality back to the planet’s communities, countries and climate.

We see a gathering tsunami of emerging (and converging) corporate technologies being super-charged by increasingly rapid developments in digital/AI, bioengineering and geoengineering technologies. The new corporate constellation of a few men with vast personal wealth operating within the existing hegemonic capitalist financial system is also being used to influence key governmental policy-making spaces, sidelining democratic processes and excluding civil society.
