We hear it in music lyrics and jingles, an idea embedded in many cultures, a seemingly throwaway line on par with the often parodied quest for \u201cWorld Peace\u201d and the fantasy for us all to \u201chold hands and be friends\u201d. We accept it as a warm and fuzzy notion \u2013 but what if everything&nbsp;<em>really<\/em>&nbsp;is connected and this tenet is what, in the next half-a-decade, could be at the heart of our capacity to push back against and triumph over the erosion of our planet and all its life forms?<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2022\/03\/4df2cfe4-foto-ms-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Maristella Svampa, the Argentine sociologist and writer at Pacto Eco Social del Sur.\" class=\"wp-image-52589\"\/><figcaption>Maristella Svampa, the Argentine sociologist and writer at Pacto Eco Social del Sur.

It would mean Existence isn\u2019t neatly filed in alphabetical order but is rather a fabric of actions and consequences tightly woven and interdependent. This interdependence is what Maristella Svampa, the Argentine sociologist and writer at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/pactoecosocialdelsur.com\/\">Pacto Eco Social del Sur<\/a>, refers to as an&nbsp;<em>\u201c\u2026articulation between social justice and environmental justice\u2026\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>It might not be immediately evident to all that to fight climate change we need to pay attention to and prioritize the care economy. The global community of care workers (populated largely by women) \u2013 carers, health workers, domestic workers, and more \u2013 is heavily relied upon by many, especially during times of crisis. Yet despite the crucial role it plays, care work often goes unnoticed and undervalued. It is imperative then, to recognise the hypocrisy in this \u2013 a key part of what sustains humanity and life, in general, is undervalued while other economies focused on profit and bottom-line are raised up. What if we asked ourselves \u2013 what is truly valuable? When crises hit and the fabric of society starts to unravel it was and is this care workforce, also d\ubbed, during pandemic times,&nbsp;<em>essential<\/em>&nbsp;workforce, that builds back resilience in units of care, attention and connection. What could be possible if we put care at the core?<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2022\/03\/b6360366-mara-dolan-wedo-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Mara Dolan, Program Manager at the Women\u2019s Environment and Development Organization (WEDO).

More than just highlighting issues, their solutions emanate from the roles they play as women in the communities, such as informal household workers, caring for children and the elderly, and frontline workers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2022\/03\/1dff4b6d-dina1.jpg\" alt=\"Dina Kafafy, Sinaweya, Egypt.

And when we look into traditional communities in every corner of the world, we see an understanding of local resources, climate patterns, flora and fauna; they were aware of and revered their environment which sustained them. Take from the Earth but always give back, replenish. And in this synchronicity and awareness comes abundance of resources and compassion. A gift economy and sense of community emerges. If weaved into our society\u2019s foundations this principle would breed more love, fairness and connectivity to the Earth and each other.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>All these women, and so many more, in different forms and spaces, are advocating for a radical shift in how societies understand value, and how their roles in all kinds of crises should be acknowledged \u2013 be it in pandemics, ecological catastrophes and wars; how those who hold seats of power act, how we measure wellbeing; they are fighting for a just future equipped with the necessary forms of resilience for all life forms to thrive.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWe are fighting for a new order in which economic systems give primacy to the provisioning for a dignified and empowering life for all people in ways that are compatible with the capacity and health of the planet, values social reproduction as equally important as production, and recognizes the often invisible role and contributions of women. Beyond simply recognition, what has traditionally been considered women\u2019s work should be socialized and redistributed.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;said Nacpil. Svampa is in agreement when she states that&nbsp;<em>\u201c<\/em><em>This will make it possible to tackle labor precarity and achieve a fairer distribution of caregiving tasks in terms of social class and gender, as this work usually falls unequally upon families and, within them, upon women.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>Similarly, WEDO advocates for a \u201c<em>transition from an extractive economy to a repairative one rooted in the rights, health and well-being of all\u2014and this means valuing, supporting and investing in care work in all its forms<\/em>.\u201d To this end, Dolan cites that they have&nbsp;<em>\u201coutlined key economic shifts needed in global financial architecture in order to redistribute resources towards investment in care. This means shifts as outlined in the&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/wedo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Blueprint_A-Feminist-Agenda-for-People-and-Planet.pdf\"><em>Action Nexus\u2019 Blueprint for a Global Feminist Economic Justice<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;Agenda.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>This includes ending austerity and committing to robust public services and social protections, developing a more just global tax system that no longer protects corporate interests and profits above human rights and well-being, and building a new multilateral and legal framework for a debt cancellation and workout mechanism. She adds that&nbsp;<em>\u201cGreen jobs are not just jobs in hard hats retrofitting buildings and constructing solar and wind energy \u2013 they are also jobs of caring for each other, teaching, home health care, child care, elder care and more.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>There are many traditional and Indigenous solutions in the global South that would challenge capitalism and extractivist models such as the commons, degrowth, redefining well-being, and enhancing fair incomes and other alternative socio\u2013economic models.They are people-focused, community-driven, putting care at the center and working within our ecological limits. The question now is how do we turn these solutions into a new and better normal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2022\/03\/4b8d0305-gp0stt97i_medium_res-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Sonia Guajajara at the Free Land Camp 2019 in Brazil\" class=\"wp-image-52593\"\/><figcaption>Sonia Guajajara at the Free Land Camp 2019 in Brazil \u00a9 Christian Braga \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>At the end of it all, Indigenous leader Sonia Guajajara of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apiboficial.org\/\">Articula\u00e7\u00e3o dos Povos Ind\u00edgenas do Brasil<\/a>&nbsp;could not have put it simpler.
