Education is preparation for reparations. By learning the histories of resistance of colonised people across the world, we understand that the problem started before the industrial revolution. The problem started when people created systems to exploit the earth-people for their gain during colonial times. Those same systems are still standing today.

The 13th recommendation is a framework that hopes to amplify the ways in which climate justice can be realised in our movements. We understand that the climate movement needs to realise activist and international solidarity, understand intersectionality, and also centre those most affected in order for us to tackle the problem from the root.
