Déclaration du Sommet des Peuples vers la COP30

The 'Déclaration du Sommet des Peuples vers la COP30' is a statement issued by a gathering of over 70,000 people from diverse social movements in Belém do Pará, Brazil, in November 2025. The document identifies the capitalist mode of production and transnational corporations as the primary drivers of the climate crisis and calls for a systemic transition based on popular sovereignty, feminist ethics, and the protection of common goods.

• The document identifies the capitalist mode of production as the fundamental cause of the escalating climate crisis, asserting that environmental issues stem from the logic of financial capital and large capitalist corporations regarding the production, circulation, and disposal of goods.
• The statement argues that the current energy transition is being executed through a capitalist lens, which has failed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and has instead created new opportunities for capital accumulation.
• The authors reject market-based 'false solutions' to the climate crisis, specifically naming the Targeted Forest Finance Facility (TFFF) as an inadequate, financialized program. They advocate for the treatment of air, forests, water, land, minerals, and energy as common goods rather than private property.
• The declaration emphasizes that peripheral communities, particularly women, youth, and people of color, suffer most from extreme weather and environmental racism due to a lack of infrastructure, adaptation policies, and reparations.
• The document calls for a total end to fossil fuel extraction and demands a 'just, popular and inclusive' energy transition that protects territories, with a specific emphasis on the Amazon and other ecologically sensitive regions.
• The statement demands a restructuring of international climate finance to bypass institutions like the IMF and World Bank, which it claims deepen North-South inequalities. It argues that the Global North and its corporations owe a socio-environmental debt to the Global South.
• The declaration integrates feminist political goals, arguing that the 'work of reproduction of life' (care work) is essential for planetary survival and must be visible, valued, and shared by society and the state to ensure women's autonomy.
• The document calls for the demilitarization of resources, demanding that financial assets currently allocated to war and the military industry be redirected toward climate disaster recovery and reparations.
