No Justice in Lima Outcome

Friends of the Earth International and its signatories critique the Lima Conference for producing weak pre-2020 mitigation pledges and failing to secure binding commitments on finance, adaptation, and loss and damage. The statement asserts that the outcome shifts responsibility to the Global South, protects polluting corporations, and risks expanding carbon markets at the expense of land rights. It calls for a systemic transformation away from fossil fuels toward community-controlled renewable energy and agro-ecological solutions.

• The pre-2020 mitigation pledges established in Lima are considered insufficient and unjust, placing the world on a trajectory to exceed 2°C of warming by mid-century, with no commitment to revise or review them in 2014.
• The Lima outcome is criticized for lacking binding commitments on technology transfer, adaptation, loss and damage, and finance, which prevents people in the Global South from building resilience and achieving a just transition to limit warming to 1.5°C.
• The document alleges that politicians from the EU and US acted to benefit polluting corporations by deregulating the international climate regime and shifting responsibility to the Global South.
• The outcome is seen as enabling the expansion of carbon markets, including potential credits from soil and forests, which the authors claim undermines the land rights of farmers and forest communities.
