2AC -- AT: Corporate ActionCorporate action failsGuerrero ’18 [Dorothy Grace; 2018; Head of Policy and Advocacy of Global Justice; Climate Crisis, The: South African and Global Democratic Eco-Socialist Alternatives, “THE LIMITS OF CAPITALIST SOLUTIONS TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS,” Ch. 2, p. 39] SPark Climate change will not be solved through negotiations dominated by corporate interests. The governments that are supposed to lead in climate change solutions are also the ones pushing corporate trade deals like the TTIP that will benefit the fracking industry and support big agribusiness companies that undermine the ability of farmers to adapt to climate change, as well as various free trade agreements and bilateral investment treaties. 2AC -- AT: Non-Democratic AltsDemocracy is key to sustainability - distance form it makes effective decision making and ecological development impossiblePadilla ’21 [Luis-Alberto; 2021; president of the board of the Guatemalan International Relations & Peace Research Institute (IRIPAZ), member of the International Peace Research Association (IPRA), former Secretary General of the Latin American Council on Peace Research (CLAIP), Director of the Diplomatic Academy, Former Vice Minister, former ambassador in Chile, former permanent representative to the United Nations at the Vienna International Centre, former ambassador to Austria, former ambassador to the Russian Federation, former ambassador to the Netherlands, permanent representative to the UN in Geneva, and professor of the Seminar of World Geopolitics at the Faculty of Political Sciences of the Catholic University Rafael Landivar (URL) of Guatemala; Sustainable Development in the Anthropocene, “The Origins of Human and Sustainable Development as UN Paradigms,” Ch. 4.4, p. 175] Spark Any development worthy of the description ‘sustainable’ implies the existence of a democratic political system that ensures the effective participation of citizens in decision-making to help redistribute surpluses in an equitable manner while simultaneous ly negotiating solutions to the inevitable conflicts that result from social inequalities.6 Democracy is also essential to ensure that the productive apparatus respects the obligation to preserve the ecological basis of development and does not go against the ability of governments to sustain and preserve natural resources. Furthermore, in order to reduce carbon emissions, democratic governments must promote the search for new technological alternatives - mainly in the field of renewable energy - while establishing intrinsically flexible administrative procedures which are capable of self-reform and correction while promoting sustainable trade and financing patterns.
