Declaración de la Cumbre de los pueblos hacia la COP30

The People's Summit declaration argues that the capitalist mode of production and transnational corporations are the root causes of the climate crisis and environmental racism. It rejects market-based 'false solutions' and the current multilateral system, calling instead for the recognition of ancestral knowledge, the protection of indigenous territories, and a sovereign, popular energy transition. The document demands the end of fossil fuel extraction, the redistribution of wealth from the global north to the south as socio-environmental debt, and the implementation of agroecology and feminist care work as central to planetary survival.

• The capitalist mode of production is identified as the primary cause of the climate crisis, driven by the logic of financial capital and large corporations regarding the production and disposal of commodities.
• Transnational corporations in the mining, energy, arms, agro-industrial, and technology sectors, alongside global north governments, are cited as the main actors benefiting from and causing the climate catastrophe.
• The current energy transition is criticized for following capitalist logic, where the expansion of renewable energy has become a new area for capital accumulation without reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
• The document rejects 'false solutions' to the climate crisis, specifically naming the TFFF as an inadequate response because it is a 'financialized program'.
• The current multilateral system and global conferences are deemed failures because they do not address the structural causes of environmental crimes and extreme climate events.
• Environmental racism disproportionately affects peripheral communities, who lack infrastructure, adaptation policies, and justice or reparations, particularly impacting women, youth, and non-white impoverished populations.
• The declaration calls for the end of fossil fuel extraction and the implementation of a 'just, popular and inclusive' energy transition that respects national sovereignty and protects sensitive regions like the Amazon.
• International climate finance is criticized for flowing through institutions like the IMF and World Bank, which are said to deepen inequality; instead, the global north should pay its 'socio-environmental debt'.
