The global call will be delivered to the Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC later in the week.
Right now, the fate of our planet is being decided in Poland.

Action
The action will feature numerous environmental leaders, activists and people with signs and other visuals. The group of 30 or more people will forecast the deliver of the demand petition to the leadership of the UNFCCC on behalf of all Parties.
The People’s Demands, supported by people in over 125 countries, features six demands to governments:
- Keep fossil fuels in the ground.
- Reject false solutions that are displacing real, people-first solutions to the climate crisis.
- Advance real solutions that are just, feasible, and essential.
- Honor climate finance obligations to developing countries.
- End corporate interference in and capture of the climate talks.
- Ensure developed countries honor their «Fair Shares» for largely fueling this crisis.
The demands are rooted in Global South movements and were convened by movements like the Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice (DCJ), Asian People’s Movement on Debt and Development, ActionAid International, ETC Group, Indigenous Environmental Network, Climate Justice Alliance and others.
