The climate crisis cannot be solved within capitalism, and the sooner we face up to this fact the better.
The following is a keynote speech by Jason Hickel at a congress held in Havana April 28-May 1 to mark the 50th anniversary of the New International Economic Order (NIEO), a set of proposals to end economic colonialism and dependency. The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration for the Establishment of a New International Economic Order and its accompanying program of action on 1 May 1974. The Havana conference co-convened by the Progressive International and the Asociación Nacional de Economistas y Contadores de Cuba brought together leading scholars, diplomats and policy-makers from 36 countries for three days of intense discussion, deliberation and preparation of a Program of Action for the Establishment of a New International Economic Order ahead of the September 2024 UN General Assembly. Jason Hickel teaches at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA-UAB) in Barcelona and is a visiting senior fellow at the London School of Economics. He is best-known, perhaps for his book Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World (2020), which presents degrowth as an anticapitalist alternative to ecological imperialism and unequal exchange. I will say more about the Havana congress following Hickels address, which I thank the Progressive International for making available.
