The following statement was delivered during the Closing Plenary on June 18 2026 on behalf of the ENGO-DCJ constituency during the 64th meeting of the Subsidiary Bodies (SB64) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC):

Thank you chairs, I speak on behalf of the Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice, ENGO-DCJ. We echo statements from TUNGO, WGC, YOUNGO and ENGO-CAN.These SBs are left with a bitter taste; we keep having the same discussions all the time! It is time to stop. 

The era of implementation must be the era of public, just and grant based accessible finance including adaptation and loss and damage. We demand a stand alone agenda item on Article 9.1 Climate Finance Work Programme at COP31.

We need a Just Transition mechanism with ambitious options on governance, accountability and implementation support. This means we need intersessional work — with full support for developing countries’ and observer constituencies’ participation.

We condemn the false solutions that exploit the land and the people, and divert us away from the Paris Agreement goals. 

We must acknowledge that climate action will not deliver as long as Big Polluters continue to write the rules of climate action. 

We urge COP31 presidencies to ensure full and broad social participation in Antalya, and the respect and safeguard of civil society’s rights to protest inside and outside the conference.

We demand an end to genocide and illegal wars around the world by the perpetrators of the climate crisis.
