Economic Justice

Everyone on Earth has the right to the same basic opportunities and living conditions. While the global economy grows, there will be less and less nature. And 4 out of 5 people on Earth live in extreme poverty.

The constant mechanical pursuit of economic growth involves incalculable ecological problems, global inequality, and social erosion. The need to develop alternatives to the prevailing growth paradigm has never been greater. The efforts to rethink the economic development through de-growth has the possibily to create new and better conditions for societies and for a meaningful everyday life.

At NOAH, we are challenging the big companies and financial institutions' influence. We are questioning the neoliberal policies promoted by development banks and international institutions. We oppose trade negotiations focusing on market access which undermines people's needs and environmental concerns. It is only by targeting the struggle against neoliberalism, which is central in the global economic system, that we can put pressure for a systemic change.

We work with social movements around the world that promote the influence of local communities.  We are struggling to address the global inequality in a dynamic, creative, and constructive way that can build movement and solutions in order to promote global economic justice.

The mainstream economic thought currently dominating the world needs to change.

Popular movements now and in the past show us there is another way forward. We need to challenge the neoliberalism dominance, and create better conditions for alternative systems with a sustainable and fair approach.
