Eco-socialism is a political and economic philosophy that combines aspects of socialism with environmentalism. It advocates for the restructuring of society to prioritize ecological sustainability and social justice. Eco-socialists believe that capitalism often leads to environmental degradation and social inequality, and they argue for a system that promotes collective ownership and democratic control of resources.
The movement emphasizes the need for a sustainable economy that respects the planet's limits while ensuring equitable distribution of wealth. Eco-socialists often support policies that address climate change, protect biodiversity, and promote renewable energy, viewing these goals as essential for a just and sustainable future.
