An end to militarism and wars
The present fossil fuel based development model leads to violence, war, and military conflict over control of energy, land, water, and other natural resources.

This is demonstrated by the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as militarization across the globe in regions rich in fossil fuels and other natural resources. Peasants and indigenous communities are also being violently displaced from their lands to make way for agrofuel plantations. Trillions of dollars are spent on the military-industrial complex, thus wasting enormous material and human resources, which should instead be devoted to implementing a sustainable transition.
