The urgent call for climate justice
2024 has seen unprecedented global temperatures. We’re racing against time to keep the global temperature increase under 1.5°C.
The climate crisis reveals stark injustice: while poorer nations bear the harshest impacts, wealthier countries—those historically responsible—are failing to provide the necessary climate finance. Meanwhile, big polluters like fossil fuel companies continue to make enormous profits.
What needs to happen at COP29?
At COP29, the UK must be held accountable for this and commit its fair share of public climate finance. This funding is critical to helping lower-income countries and communities:
- Recover from the damage caused by climate change
- Adapt to current climate impacts
- Build resilient, low-carbon futures
Although COP28 saw a major commitment to move away from fossil fuels, the absence of finance pledges left a significant gap. Similarly, the Loss and Damage Fund, established at COP28, remains at risk of becoming an unfulfilled promise unless wealthier nations follow through with additional funding commitments.
