“The search for alternatives is on. As the world grapples with the multiple crises of ecological unsustainability, poverty, food and water insecurity, and economic collapse, there is urgency to forge paths of human well-being that are equitable and ecologically sustainable. A large number of such alternatives are already being practiced in many countries, including sustainable food production, holistic rural development, sustainable cities, community-based conservation, meaningful educational and health security, decentralized governance, economic democracy, and others. These point to a future based on a new paradigm: Radical Ecological Democracy (R.E.D.). This is an evolving framework of governance in which each person and community has access to decision-making forums of relevance to them, and in which the decisions taken are infused with ecological and cultural sensitivity, and socio-economic equity.”
