1,000 organisations call for peoples and rights to be at the center of Just Transition negotiations at COP30
'1,000 organisations call for a people‑centred Just Transition at COP30', 10 November 2025
More than 1,000 organisations from 106 countries – spanning trade unions, Indigenous leaders, feminist and youth movements, Afro‑descendant and peasant groups, environmental advocates, disability networks and community organisations – have united to urge governments to stop treating climate action as a numbers game. Their open letter calls for a Just Transition that makes climate work for the people who live its consequences.
COP30, billed as the first “implementation COP” since Paris, is seen as a test of whether multilateralism can still deliver after years of drift and broken trust. A decade after the Paris Agreement pledged to secure a Just transition, safeguarding rights and livelihoods, that promise remains unfulfilled, and it’s not without consequences: climate action has stalled, inequality has deepened and communities have been left behind.
