As the climate crisis worsens on a seemingly daily basis, the need to end the destructiveness of capitalism becomes more urgent. It is now starkly clear that a system based on profit cannot and will not deal with runaway climate change.

The Marxist idea that humanity faces a future of socialism or barbarism is more manifestly relevant today than ever before.

Yet in many countries the movements for ecosocialism are weak and fragmented, lacking leadership and unity. So the question posed for every progressive and environmentally conscious person is: How can we win change and make ecosocialism a reality before it is too late?

The final session of the conference will share experiences, explore the challenges and raise possibilities from socialists, Greens and progressive leaders in the Asia Pacific region.
