Achievements in 2021
Among our many achievements in 2021 was strengthened collaboration with activists from China, North Africa and Eastern Europe. Another was the consolidation of a new inter-sectoral coalition connecting the dots on how global governance of public policy is increasingly captured by large private companies. In line with our new goals, we invested a lot of energy in developing positive narratives aimed at catalysing a popular movement to reclaim public services, as Covid taught us we must. At the policy level, we contributed to some real breakthroughs regarding drug policy, and have succeeded in delegitimating the Energy Charter Treaty, which makes the energy transition that much more difficult and expensive for states. We had our best year ever in terms of media outreach, with particular attention for our pioneering work on climate, militarism and justice.
