An Evening with Gustavo Esteva - Beyond Climate and Institutional Collapse: Openings to a New Era

The Guardian was right: climate change or global warming are euphemisms. There is a climate collapse. And the institutional collapse is even worse. We can no longer put our hope in governments or international conferences, as the current show in Glasgow demonstrates. But a new hope is emerging at the grassroots. Beyond the mobilizations, increasingly useless, we have all kinds of initiatives, as La Travesía, the Zapatista tour in Europa, is making evident. Yes, it is time to say YES to life and NO to the projects of death and war.
