Millions of young people have organised to demand action against climate change, a result of capitalism's insatiable need for profit. The labour movement must give support. Only the socialist transformation of society can solve this crisis.

Liberal commentators constantly call on us to take 'individual action' to avert ecological disaster. But even where this is done, the profit system still stands in the way - as the chaos of plastic recycling aptly demonstrates.

Electric cars are being heralded as a key technological solution to the climate crisis. But under capitalism, this green alternative to petrol-power is dependent on imperialist exploitation. This is why we need a socialist economic plan.
