Chanting for Change at COP29:
WHAT: Civil society organizations at COP29 will unite in a powerful, synchronized protest demanding that the Global North finally pay up its climate debt to the Global South with $5 trillion in real climate finance.

Their rhythm and resolve will echo through the Blue Zone, carrying a message of climate justice for all.
