Climate change is a grave and urgent threat to life on earth on a global scale. The challenge is dire, but more for the people and communities of the Global South who stand to bear the brunt of its most harmful consequences because of accumulated economic and social vulnerabilities throughout history till the present.
A critical piece of immediate as well as strategic response to the climate crisis is Finance. The mobilization of unprecedented levels of finance is needed- on the one hand to enable people, communities and nations to deal with present and as well as already unavoidable future impacts of climate change, much of which are irreversible, and on the other hand to make the systemic and technological transformation necessary to prevent the worst catastrophes, solve global warming and heal the planet.
The Global Campaign for climate finance is a multi-year campaign by DCJ and its members that aims to mobilise climate finance from the Global North to the Global South as per legal obligation under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) through public grants, and not in the form of loans or private investments.
