The ICOR denounces imperialism as the main cause of the global environmental catastrophe that has already begun! With his reckless striving for maximum profit, it utterly exploits humanity and nature and gradually destroys their unity. The deadly typhoon Yagi in Asia, floods in Brazil and Kenya, droughts in southern Africa and forest fires in Europe, 2023 as the warmest year on record, are just a few currently visible features of a catastrophe that jeopardizes the survival of humanity. The melting of the glaciers as in Himalayas threatens the entire water supply for farmers and therefore the supply of food and drinking water. On all continents, further features are visible, such as the danger to the world seas and forests, species extinction, destruction of the ozone layer, etc.

Today, the environmental struggle must be society changing, and in socialism the unity of humanity and nature has to be fought for again and reinforced. The ICOR criticises illusions and greenwashing in capitalism through monopolies and the parties representing them, as well as the reformist division of environmental protection and jobs. It recognises the leading role of the working class in the environmental struggle. In particular, the ICOR denounces the global fascist deniers of human-made environmental catastrophe who want to pave the way for an even more open attack on humans and nature.

The ICOR will denounce those responsible at the World Climate Conference, will organize solidarity when regional catastrophes occur, work to build consciousness and organize the struggle and, given a regular race agaiinst time, promote the struggle for socialism. The international coordination and cooperation also of environmental struggles is of greatest importance.
