energy policies. That includes consuming less energy and producing solar and biogas energy on the farms instead of heavily promoting agrofuel production as is currently the case.
4: The implementation of agricultural and trade policies at local, national and international levels supporting sustainable agriculture and local food consumption. This includes the ban on the kinds of subsidies that lead to the dumping of cheap food on markets.

Popular movements in nations impacted by oil development take a similar approach, best articulated by OilWatch, an international network based in Ecuador, Nigeria, Thailand, and Costa Rica. A recent report demands that we "keep crude oil underground," by developing models of energy self-sufficiency based on renewables like wind and solar, and that benefits be paid out of a global fund to nations which limit their extraction and use of fossil fuels.

Another global network called GAIA, the Global Anti-incinerator Alliance, began as a campaign to reduce emissions of persistent organic pollutants such as dioxins, but has in recent years become a leading proponent of the concept of "Zero Waste." Zero Waste strategies consider the entire life-cycle of products, processes and systems with the understanding that waste including both solid waste and toxic emissions can be prevented through redesigning manufacturing processes to mimic natural systems and to reuse byproducts. While Zero Waste strategies are taking root in some European industries, there are entire communities devoting themselves to Zero Waste on the Philippines, India, South Africa, and elsewhere.

By keeping oil in the ground and leapfrogging to renewable technologies, redesigning industrial systems to eliminate waste, and promoting local self-sufficiency in agriculture, Global South movements are addressing the three main drivers of climate change. But social movements, based as they are in a vision of justice for all, recognize that a fourth condition must exist in order for all of us to climb out of the danger zone together. In responding to the extreme conditions brought on by climate chaos, in concert with the collapse of traditional living systems and the assault on local economies wrought by corporate globalization and hostile northern trade regimes, it is fair to say social movements in the Global South want the same thing they have always wanted: equity. Or, in the more colorful language of Mexico's Zapatista movement, justice with dignity.

Neither equity nor
