CADTM is pleased to share the presentation by Jawad Moustakbal, a member of CADTM’s Shared International Secretariat, delivered at the 13th session of the 13th Asian Regional School, which took place at the International Institute for Research and Education (IIRE) in Manila on 8 June 2025.



The presentation addresses the ecological crisis and explores potential solutions. It begins by referencing the contributions of Marxists, both historical and contemporary, to the systemic analysis of this crisis. It presents a concrete case study of Morocco and the Philippines highlighting the dramatic scale of the ecological crisis. The presentation emphasises that the response put forth by the capitalist system—specifically, green capitalism— is not a genuine solution but rather counterproductive. It concludes by proposing a series of alternatives.
