Just Transition Rising

@jt-rising.bsky.social

Across factories, fields, and frontlines, the people are rising - for a transition that heals, restores, and returns dignity.

Will the EU listen to this univocal, cross-constituency call from more than 1000 organisations? #ThePeople are demanding the adoption of the #BelemActionMechanism at #COP30! @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu @canclimateaction.bsky.social @etuc-ces.bsky.social @caneurope.org #JustTransitionRising

🚨 1,000+ orgs from over 100 countries tell #COP30 governments: stop treating climate action like a numbers game and make a #JustTransition happen. Put people before profit. Read the open letter ⤵️ 🔗English: docs.google.com/document/d/1... #JustTransitionRising #BAM

We need to see a #JustTransition now. The key is the #BelemActionMechanism. Will the UK stand in the way, ignoring this call from #ThePeople? @ed-miliband.bsky.social @thecccuk.bsky.social @canclimateaction.bsky.social @waronwant.bsky.social

"People must be at the centre of political decisions (...) The most vulnerable sectors of our society are the most affected by the impacts of climate change, which is why just transition and adaptation plans must aim to combat inequality.” — Lula, via The Guardian #JustTransitionRising #COP30

The era of fine speeches and good intentions is over. Brazil’s Cop30 will be about action | Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva

This is our message to world leaders: make this the ‘Cop of truth’, before people lose faith, says the president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva

At #COP30 we need a transition that actually reaches people - not just investors. Phase out fossil fuels ✔️ protect jobs & livelihoods ✔️ finance community-led solutions ✔️ guarantee participation & rights ✔️ That’s how we make climate action stick. #JustTransitionRising

Will the UK listen to the univocal, cross-constituency call from civil society? Politics for #thepeople, or politics for the few? #JustTransitionRising @ed-miliband.bsky.social @thecccuk.bsky.social @waronwant.bsky.social @prosocial.bsky.social

We sent an open letter to @ed-miliband.bsky.social signed by over 50 orgs and unions asking for the UK to support the #BelemActionMechanism. (Reply might be stuck in drafts 👀😬?)

A people-first transition is not just ethical - it’s essential. We need climate action rooted in justice, equity, and lived realities. The way: Parties need to adopt the #BelemActionMechanism at #COP30. @cop30brazil.bsky.social @gcdcj.bsky.social @wedo-worldwide.bsky.social @ituc.bsky.social

6/7 🧵 👥#NDCs fail to centre people and communities. Real #ClimateAction demands genuine measures for a #JustTransition and adaptive resilience. #NDCNotGoodEnough #COP30 Leaders Summit #ShowSomeAmbition #JustTransitionRising

We need grant-based finance, fair debt rules, and a global system that puts life before interest payments. #CancelTheDebt #DebtJustice #UNCTAD #JustTransitionRising

Debt is not just an agenda item at #UNCTAD in Geneva, it is a development #emergency. 3.4 billion people live in countries paying more on debt than on health or education. #JustTransitionRising @debtforclimate.bsky.social @gcdcj.bsky.social @eurodadnews.bsky.social @canclimateaction.bsky.social

“We need a fair global trade and investment system,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres said at #UNCTAD16. 🌍 This week, leaders, ministers and changemakers are in Geneva to shape the future of global trade, investment, development and the digital economy. ▶️ Follow live: unctad.org/unctad16

The path to a #JustTransition in Africa: listen first, include always. Center workers, women, and communities in every climate decision. #COP30 #JustTransitionRising @business-humanrights.org @ituc.bsky.social @wedo-worldwide.bsky.social @gcdcj.bsky.social

What are the key priorities for a #JustTransition in Africa? Abuses linked to mining & renewables suggest a new path is needed – one which secures companies’ social licence to operate. BHRRC's Joe Kibugu explains the key points ahead of #COP30: www.business-humanrights.org/en/blog/just...

The world can’t afford financial institutions that put austerity before people. We need global economic governance that works for communities, not only corporations. #WorldBank #IMF #AnnualMeetings #JustTransitionRising

⚠️The #WorldBank & #IMF are moving in the wrong direction. This week's #AnnualMeetings have demonstrated how they continue to favour fiscal consolidation and private sector interests over timely and fair solutions. Read our full reaction: www.eurodad.org/annual_meeti...

Private finance is not a silver bullet - on the contrary, it is one of the key drivers of the crisis we are in.

End neocolonialism and unequal exhange. We need #fairness #dignity and #justice.

We are extremely disappointed to see nothing new in the #G20's Declaration on #debt today, which reiterates limited & ineffective tools like the #CommonFramework over support of real reforms at a more inclusive forum, like the #UN. Read our full reaction ➡️ www.eurodad.org/g20_statemen...

Today's ministerial declaration on debt sustainability falls far short of what is needed to tackle the worst debt crisis the world has ever seen.
