Declaración de la Cumbre de los pueblos hacia la COP30

The 'Declaración de la Cumbre de los pueblos hacia la COP30' is a statement issued by the People's Summit, which gathered over 70,000 representatives of diverse social movements in Belém do Pará, Brazil, from November 12 to 16, 2025. The document identifies the capitalist mode of production and transnational corporations as the primary drivers of the climate crisis and calls for a transition based on popular sovereignty, feminist justice, and the protection of common goods rather than market-based solutions.

• The document identifies the capitalist mode of production and the logic of financial capital and large corporations as the primary causes of the escalating climate crisis.
• Transnational corporations in the mining, energy, arms, agro-industrial, and technology sectors, alongside Global North governments, are cited as the actors most responsible for and benefiting from the climate catastrophe.
• The statement argues that the current energy transition is being executed under capitalist logic, which has failed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and has instead created new opportunities for capital accumulation.
• The People's Summit rejects 'false solutions' to the climate crisis, specifically warning that the TFFF is an inadequate response because it is a 'financiarizado' (financialized) program.
• The document calls for the end of fossil fuel extraction and demands a transition that ensures the protection and reparation of territories, with a specific emphasis on the Amazon and other essential regions.
• The statement demands a restructuring of international climate finance to bypass institutions like the IMF and World Bank, arguing that Global North countries and corporations owe a socio-environmental debt to the Global South.
• The document advocates for the recognition of ancestral knowledge and the demarcation of indigenous and local community lands as essential for forest preservation and climate solutions.
• Feminism and the valuation of 'care work' (trabajo de cuidados) are positioned as central to the political project to counter an economic system that prioritizes private wealth accumulation.
