Deceleration’s Marisol Cortez speaks with Ashish Kothari on his work with the Global Tapestry of Alternatives, recently returned from the People’s Summit and COP30 in Belem, Brazil. An activist and author based in Pune, India, Kothari has been at the forefront of movements both in India and globally to imagine and enact on-the-ground alternatives to “development” as a colonial and often environmentally destructive paradigm. We talk with Kothari about radical democracy as the “missing debate” from climate discussions and the importance of maintaining focus on the work of “yes” as much as the work of “no.”
