Carta de la sociedad civil latinoamericana a la Presidencia de la COP30
Summary
A statement from 82 Latin American and Caribbean civil society organizations providing suggestions and requests to the COP30 Presidency to ensure concrete implementation results in Belém do Pará, Brazil, focusing on climate ambition, adaptation, finance, just transition, and biodiversity synergies.
Key insights
- The civil society organizations urge heads of state from G20 and developed countries—specifically China, India, the European Union, Indonesia, South Korea, Mexico, South Africa, Turkey, Ukraine, Argentina, and Saudi Arabia—to submit ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0) before COP30. These commitments should align with science and the Global Stocktake (GST), aiming for global reductions of at least 43% by 2030 and 60% by 2035.
- The document calls for a robust adaptation agenda that treats adaptation as a political and strategic priority and a guarantee for human and nature rights. It requests the operationalization of the Global Resilience Framework indicators to monitor the 11 sub-goals of the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) and a post-2025 adaptation finance commitment that at least triples 2022 levels, reaching USD 120 billion by 2030.
- The organizations request a roadmap to mobilize USD 1.3 trillion annually by 2035 to transform the global financial system. This should emphasize public financing to avoid increasing debt for developing countries and explore fiscal policies such as taxes on polluting activities and wealth generated from natural resource exploitation and greenhouse gas emissions, particularly from multinational companies based in developed nations.
- The statement advocates for a multidimensional Just Transition as a structural basis for implementing the Paris Agreement. It calls for a clear roadmap for an orderly, fair, and equitable exit from fossil fuels with a specific exit date, and urges leaders to triple renewable energy and double energy efficiency by 2030.
- The document emphasizes the need to strengthen synergies between the three Rio Conventions (climate, biodiversity, and desertification) through integrated national governance. It specifically calls for developed countries to announce contributions to the Tropical Forests Forever Fund (TFFF) to stop and reverse deforestation by 2030 and conserve 30% of the planet's land surface by 2030.
- The organizations request that loss and damage be recognized as one of the three pillars of climate action, alongside mitigation and adaptation. They urge developed countries to ensure the adequate capitalization and effective operation of the Loss and Damage Response Fund with new, additional, and predictable resources.
