O meu desejo para 2010 - muita Paz e mais Justiça Climática - Peace on Earth and Climate Justice

Letra

Heaven on Earth, we need it now

I'm sick of all of this hanging around

I'm sick of the sorrow,

I'm sick of the pain

And I'm sick of hearing again and again

That there's never gonna be peace on Earth

Hello from London

And if the darkness is to keep us apart

And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off

And if your glass heart should crack

If for a second you turn back

Oh no, be strong

Oh, oh Walk on, walk on

What you got, they can't steal it

No, they can't even feel it

Walk on, walk on Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been

A place that has to be believed, to be seen

You could have flown away

A singing bird in an open cage

Who will only fly, only fly, for freedom

Oh, oh Walk on, walk on

What you got, they can't deny it

Can't sell it, or buy it

Walk on, walk on

Stay safe, tonight

Yeah I know it aches

And how your heart it breaks

You can only take so much

Walk on

You gotta leave it behind

We've got to leave it behind

All that you fashion

All that you make

All that you build All that you break

All that you measure All that you deal

All you count on two fingers

And all that you steal

You've got to leave it behind

Halle, halle

You've got to leave it behind hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

See you when I get home

See you when I get home, sister

Halle, hallelujah (Halle), home...

Halle, halle Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah Halle, halle

Contours of Climate Justice:: Ideas for shaping new climate and energy politics Critical Currents no. 6, October 2009 Free E-Book Download the whole book here

The climate is changing in more ways than one. Not only has an increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere been wreaking havoc in the global biosphere, but there has also been a significant shift in the way the issue of climate change is debated. From being a marginal ‘green’ issue, it is now central to many a strategy for political and economic renewal. It has become ever more obvious that the image of climate change is not primarily the drowning polar bear, but the farmer without crops, the migrant without a home, the worker with no future. Yet international efforts to slow climate change have not advanced much beyond square one. At the same time, a new global cycle of struggle seems to be coalescing around the call for climate justice, in particular in the mobilisation around the 15th international climate summit in Copenhagen.

This collection of interventions contributes to the re-conceptualisation of climate change as an issue of justice, and therefore also of struggle. It further seeks to strengthen a climate and energy politics that will prove capable of solving the multiple crises that climate change is part of, and which humanity is facing.
