The Leap Manifesto has been getting a lot of play, not only in Canada, but internationally. It’s most prominent signatory is Naomi Klein, and it’s been endorsed by a wide range of environmental and indigenous organizations, trade unions, and church groups.
The environmental movement has been broadly divided between those between those who think economic growth must be significantly slowed or halted to save the planet and those who see no contradiction between rapid economic development and preventing catastrophic climate change. There was a heated debate in October 2012 between Alex Gourevitch and Max Ajl in Jacobin magazine along these lines, for example. As if often the case on the left, the differences may be more exaggerated than real. For those interested, my question is: How would you amend the Leap Manifesto, if at all, to bring it into line with your views on economic growth and climate change? https://leapmanifesto.org/en/the-leap-manifesto/#manifesto-content _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list pen-l@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
