Only 2.8% of #ClimateFinance supports a #JustTransition; that’s $630M out of $22.7B. It is not good enough.

Our new report sets out how finance can actually protect jobs, livelihoods and communities for a just transition.

"If we do climate action, without considering the impact of jobs and communities, we are failing the planet." — @1teresaanderson.bsky.social

With agriculture STILL missing from the just transition text, this puts farmers, workers & frontline communities at risk. #COP30 must fix it.

Without #ClimateFinance, global commitments are nothing but empty promises.

At #COP30, governments must put people first and deliver funding that drives real, just transitions and resilience across the Global South.

Week 1 of #COP30 showed signs of momentum—but also why justice still matters. Rich nations must stop framing climate action as a capacity issue and start sharing power and resources fairly.

At #COP30, rich countries aren’t unable to pay their climate debt; they just won’t.

@brandoncwu.bsky.social notes the #LossAndDamage Fund opened with $250M, while the U.S. spends $200B on immigrant detention & gave only $17.5M to #ClimateAction.

In climate disasters, women face the biggest burdens, yet they’re shut out of decisions about their own futures.

A feminist #JustTransition means equal power, real participation, and funding for care, safety, and livelihoods.

The Africa Group is justified in being cautious regarding #COP30 adaptation indicators. Without real finance, targets risk becoming yet another burden for communities already facing the #ClimateCrisis.

We welcome the launch of the #LossAndDamage Fund. But with only $250M on the table & no clear way for communities to quickly access it, the gap is still huge.

As our own @brandoncwu.bsky.social puts it: “The Fund must be more responsive to real needs.”

What makes a transition just?

Our message at Day 1 of #COP30 was simple: put people at the center of climate action.

We’re highlighting a proposal for a Belém Action Mechanism to help make just transitions real, so workers, women, and communities are part of decisions and benefits.

#JustTransition isn’t a buzz phrase. It’s a roadmap for fairness, ensuring that workers, women, and marginalized communities shape the transition to clean energy.

At #COP30, let’s make this shift people-led.

No finance, no #justtransition.

We need grant funding for people-centred climate solutions.

Loans and false promises won’t cut it.

In November, the world meets in Belém for #COP30.

We need bold, fair, and inclusive climate action that puts people first.

A just transition means no one gets left behind.

Across global #ClimateFinance portfolios, under 2% of projects address #JustTransition needs like livelihoods, social protection & worker support.
