The Colombia Network brings together researchers from across the country, from the north in La Guajira to the south in the Amazon, navigating our Caribbean and Pacific seas.
Its members participate in social movements focused on social and environmental justice, addressing environmental issues from an intersectional perspective that considers class, race, and gender.
The collective’s work centers on supporting and denouncing megaprojects in peasant, ethnic, and communal territories, highlighting the multidimensional impacts of the extractivist model, the armed conflict, and the legal and criminal processes of multiscale accumulation.
Among its key areas of action are:
* The protection of freshwater and saltwater against the logic of commodification
.* The care of the commons and the defense of the common good
.* The preservation of ancestral knowledge and resistance in coastal areas, glaciers, rainforests, mangroves, and mountains
.* The vindication of the peasant subject, food sovereignty, and the struggle for land
.* The promotion of collective urban processes, which, through community gardens, artisanal fishing, and the protection of nature, redefine the relationship not only with the territory but also with the diverse lives that inhabit it, recognizing the profound interdependence between humans and nature.
Likewise, the Colombia network promotes cross-cutting transformations that embrace “sentipensamiento” as an ethical and political horizon in academia; furthermore, this group seeks to position peacebuilding as a fundamental commitment to addressing the climate crisis.
