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.

Los misiles iluminan el cielo con sus rayos de muerte. Estallan en los barrios, en escuelas, hospitales, viviendas y cultivos. No les importa asesinar porque quienes mueren no sólo no les importan a quienes envían esas bombas de precisión, sino que les estorban.

African ministers made history in Nairobi today, at the 20th Ordinary Session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN), when they agreed to a text forcefully rejecting SRM and calling for a solar geoengineering Non-Use Agreement.
This is a huge win for Africa! The text was adopted without any challenge from African countries.

La politique de la technologie est une création d'A Growing Culture et d'ETC Group. La démarche nous invite à explorer différentes façons de penser la technologie et son influence sur les différents aspects de notre vie : des structures économiques mondiales à la production alimentaire, en passant par nos modes de communication. À travers ce livret, nous encourageons une évolution des mentalités vers l'idée que toute technologie est politique.

Today, a handful of agribusiness corporations have consolidated unprecedented control over the world's food supply, with devastating consequences for farmers, consumers and the planet. This new report by ETC Group and GRAIN reveals just how extreme this corporate control has become. It examines the state of corporate concentration in six sectors critical to agriculture: commercial seeds, pesticides, synthetic fertilisers, farm machinery, animal pharmaceuticals and livestock genetics.
