MEDIA ADVISORY
COP29 Press Conference – The Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice (DCJ)
COP29 in Baku, the so-called “Finance COP”, risks becoming a bankrupt COP as developed nations demonstrate that they have the money to fund genocide, subsidise big polluters, expand oil and gas production and fund false solutions but no public money for climate finance. As we enter the second week of COP29, at the end of a year marked by devastating wildfires, floods, heatwaves and preventable climate and geopolitical disasters, we are witnessing a failure of international cooperation embodied in the Paris Agreement.
Global North governments are turning their backs on the Global South on all critical fronts: creating pathways for equitable global cooperation, the New Collective Quantified Goal, finance and technological transfer for a Just Transition and divestment from fossil fuel investments including preventing false solutions like carbon markets from taking hold of climate finance. We are left with the Global South, disproportionately affected by the climate crisis and least responsible for it, dealing with disastrous impacts on communities and ecosystems.
Join us as members of the Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice RING THE ALARM on the potential failure of COP 29 to deliver on key mandates that can lead the world out of the polycrisis that we are facing.
