Eco-socialists are individuals who combine principles of socialism with environmentalism. They believe that the capitalist system is a major cause of ecological degradation and social inequality. Eco-socialists advocate for a sustainable economy that prioritizes the well-being of both people and the planet, often calling for public ownership of resources and industries to ensure equitable distribution. Their approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of social justice and environmental health. Eco-socialists argue that addressing climate change and environmental issues requires systemic change, including reducing consumption, promoting renewable energy, and fostering community-based solutions. They often draw inspiration from movements like green politics and social justice.
