An Overview of Climate Change and Health Health is not merely the absence of disease, but also the state of good physical, mental, and social wellbeing [1]. While it may not be directly apparent, health is affected by social determinants, i.e., the conditions in which a person is born, grows, works, and ages. Our physical, […]

Climate Action Network International (CAN) welcomes the adoption of the #JustTransition mechanism as one of the strongest rights-based outcomes in the history of the UN climate negotiations. At the same time, CAN warns that #COP30 has produced weak outcomes in the very areas that are critical to ensuring justice for vulnerable and frontline communities. A dangerously weak outcome on Adaptation finance leaves little hope for impacted communities.

As the first Plenary begins at the UN climate conference, Climate Action Network welcomes the inclusion of the Just Transition in the second Mutirão Decision text – but we urge parties to go further and launch the mechanism here in Belem, and not defer to another round of development. 

As negotiations continue, Climate Action Network welcomes the fact that Parties are close to delivering justice at #COP30, and encourages them to stay the course. Climate Action Network (CAN), representing over 2,000 organisations in more than 130 countries, is calling first and foremost for the Belem Action Mechanism to implement a Just Transition.

In response to the Presidency’s draft text issued on November 18 at #COP30 called Global Mutirão: uniting humanity in a global mobilization against climate change, Climate Action Network has the following topline analysis

COP has never been this close to putting people’s needs and rights at the centre of climate action. The latest Just Transition text shows real movement: consensus on the inclusion of key social groups, recognition of labour rights, and a clear push to anchor justice in the transition itself.

While Climate Action Network appreciates the Presidency’s effort to gather the wide range of Party inputs into one document, the Summary Note offers us a broad shopping list rather than a clear path forward – and it does not yet reflect the political reality inside the negotiation rooms.

Civil society arrived in Belém with a cautious sense of hope after three consecutive COPs marked by deep disappointment. In those years, the world watched as the wealthy countries most responsible for the climate crisis repeatedly failed to deliver the ambition needed to end it – falling short on emissions cuts, on climate finance, and on ensuring just transitions at home. The bitter taste of unmet commitments travelled with us, and little in the first week of COP30 has helped to shift it.

Social and environmental movements from around the world today mobilized thousands of people to join marches worldwide, demanding an end to the system that has fueled climate destruction in the Amazon to the rest of the world. The protesters condemned global economic inequality, environmental racism, and corporate impunity that have delayed action and denied justice to people in climate-vulnerable countries.
