This year marks the 50th anniversary of World Earth Day

This year marks the 50th anniversary of World Earth Day.

Climate change has now become an issue that questions the very survival of humanity. Many species have already vanished from the earth, while micro-organisms such as Covid-19 are appearing. Rising sea levels, recurring floods and wildfires spreading in many regions are only some of the signs of climate change. But it is becoming ever clearer that capitalism, which gives priority only to the market and profit, cannot deal with this extremely serious problem facing the planet and its living beings, humans included. Capitalism will only make this crisis worse. Reports from all over the world prove that capitalism has also failed utterly in facing the Covid-19 pandemic. On this year's Earth Day, as Covid-19 spreads across the world, let us look at the huge challenge of climate change facing humanity from a new perspective and strengthen the struggle for a socialist social order.
