The Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice (DCJ)
Due to electoral losses and collapsing coalitions in key governments of the Global North, they have arrived in Baku with no money or mandates for the so-called Finance COP, the COP29. Posturing for political points back home, the US and the EU are once again accusing the Global South of blocking progress, while attempting to divide G77+China unity that is standing strong for a New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG).
Developed countries and their mainstream media blame developing countries for “blocking” progress in the transition from fossil fuels, yet it is the very climate finance developed countries have failed to deliver that is needed to enable more ambitious cuts in emissions by developing countries.
Our warming world needs a fresh breeze of Caspian air for a big breakthrough in Baku but it seems set for a breakdown. Join members of the Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice as they explain the tactics and intentions of Global North interests undermining climate justice, and what we need for success.
