Placing Feminist Economic Justice at the Core of an Equitable Green Future at NGO-CSW 65

This session discussed the structural policy and economic governance reforms in the international financial architecture required for the implementation of feminist economic justice. A feminist economy, with its key principles and analytical frameworks, is indispensable for a Global Green New Deal that works on a global level, beyond the boundaries of national politics, and in favor of an internationalist and equitable approach.

While greening the economy has been a political and rhetorical focus of many, this has mostly focused on green financialization efforts which, in the long-term, harm both people and planet, particularly in developing countries.

Putting feminist, and global, economic justice back at the core of the debate, our discussants look at the 1) changes needed in macroeconomics, specifically fiscal and monetary policy, 2) governance reforms required for debt justice and 3) shifts required for feminist tax justice. Ultimately, this session led an open discussion on the paradigm shifts needed to transition to democratic, decarbonized, resilient and reparative systems that work for the global majority.
