The Ecosocialism Conference 2026 is coming up on Saturday 30 May 2026 at London South Bank University, and tickets are available now. The organizers promise a day of political discussion, debate and strategy, with speakers and workshops aimed at strengthening the ecosocialist movement in both ideas and action.
The start of 2026 saw us heading deeper into a global crisis. Far right parties are on the rise throughout Europe and beyond. Trumps domestic and international policies are deeply authoritarian, and damaging to ordinary people.
At the same time, we are in the throes of an ever-worsening climate and ecological crisis. Global temperature measurements show an inexorable rise, and the target of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees is out of reach. We are currently on course for 2.7C warming, threatening our ability to reliably grow food and rendering vast parts of the planet unlivable. If we reach 4C then it will be catastrophic for life on Earth.
The ecological crisis deepens as endless wars cause devastation to people and nature. The black oil smoke over Tehran as a result of US and Israeli attacks is a terrifying image of the world that the capitalist oligarchs and their war machines have created for us.
Trump has withdrawn the US from nearly all its ecological and environmental treaties and obligations, and ripped up even the tepid regulations that existed before. The climate crisis accelerates as nationalist and far right movements gain support.
The root cause of the crisis is fossil fuel based capitalism. Governments have no tools to redirect the harmful greenhouse gas emitting to a sustainable renewables based economy.
The far-right claim to be on the side of ‘the people’, opposing any new environmentally vital changes. Meanwhile they work hand in hand and are being supported by the very corporations responsible for this. The only genuine solution to these problems is an anti-capitalist ecosocialist movement, removing the corrupted ruling classes from power.
Our hope is for the strengthening of genuinely left parties around the world, and shifting their policies towards more urgent environmental actions.
There is a lot to discuss and organize around! The Ecosocialism Conference on 30 May 2026 will be a place to develop links to forge a mass movement around the climate, in our workplaces, communities, towns and cities, uniting people across the world to end the ecocide on the planet being caused by capitalism.
Remote participation in the conference will also be possible.
