MEDIA ADVISORY WHEN: Saturday, November 18, 01:30 PM Baku time (GMT+4)WHERE: Location 4, Blue Zone. Spokespeople will be available for interviews nearby.WHAT: On Monday, November 18, civil society members and activists will gather to call out to world leaders to commit to a strong climate finance deal this year that enables the Global South to implement a Just Transition. We don’t just need words, we need public finance for a Just Transition!The Just Transition Working Program (JTWP) is the most promising opportunity for the world to prevent an imminent climate collapse given its wide scope, which was secured by the collective efforts of trade unions, social movements, CSO’s, and developing countries.However, Northern countries are seeking to further evade their climate obligations by limiting the scope of the JTWP and passing the burden of financing the transition to the private sector. They want developing countries to either implement a just transition on their own or further enable Northern-dominated and profit-driven multinational corporations and international financial institutions to lead the transition.This action comes at the start of week two of COP29, where the stakes are high for securing financial commitments to support the global transition away from fossil fuels and protect countries from worsening climate impacts. Here is the list of demands from Global South led civil society groups. WHO: Activists from multiple UNFCCC constituencies and civil society groups from across the world.QUOTE SHEET HEREContacts:Isabel Rodrigo | Asian Peoples’ Movement on Debt and Development | [email protected] | +63 926 734 5712Esthappen S | Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice | [email protected] | +919820918910
