7th International Ecosocialist Encounters

At a time when humanity’s very survival is at risk, we need a movement that once again offers a hopeful alternative to the rise of the far right and the failures of neoliberalism. That is why we call on all those who defend human dignity and strive for an alternative to destructive capitalism to join us in Brussels from 15 to 17 May 2026 for the 7th International Ecosocialist Encounters.

More than a century after Rosa Luxemburg posed the alternative “socialism or barbarism?”, the new reality of extractivist capitalism is pushing humanity to the edge of the abyss with a new equation: “Ecosocialism or barbarism?”

Organising Resistance and converging our struggles

In the face of all this, it is essential to organise resistance and counter-offensives by bringing our struggles together: ecosocialist, territorial, and decolonial struggles; eco-unionist struggles; #climatejustice movements; #ecofeminist and anti-extractivist struggles… We must also share Share A unit of ownership interest in a corporation or financial asset, representing one part of the total capital stock. Its owner (a shareholder) is entitled to receive an equal distribution of any profits distributed (a dividend) and to attend shareholder meetings. our analyses, research, and experiences in order to build an international ecosocialist and #anticapitalist perspective that allows us to regain the initiative in building a more just society where life is placed at the centre.

Since 2014, the Ecosocialist Encounters Network has met on two continents and in five different countries. After Buenos Aires (Argentina) in 2024, the 7th Encounters will take place in Brussels in 2026 and will bring together organisations, collectives, and trade-union, political, feminist, decolonial, migrant, and research movements from several continents—particularly Europe, Latin America, and Africa.

See you in Brussels, 15–17 May 2026!
