STORYLINE
During the peoples’ march at COP27, Colombian Climate Activist Gina Cortes Valderrama said, “there cannot be climate justice without human rights and indigenous peoples’ rights. We call on governments to stop shrinking civil space, to respect the rights and dignity of all indigenous people, workers, climate activists, human rights, and environmental defenders.”
Representatives of indigenous peoples, women, and gender, youth, workers, environmental and climate justice movements worldwide, on behalf of thousands of organizations and millions of people, gathered at COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh today (17 Nov).
A Peoples’ Declaration for Climate Justice was adopted.
Representatives from different communities marched in the COP27 venue, calling for climate justice and reparation for loss and damage.
Colombian Climate Activist Valderrama said, “our message today is to defend the human rights, the human rights that need to be at the core of these negotiations, but that has been undermined with the interests of private profits, with the interest of markets. We are here to shift this party and to shift towards a transformation.”
Ina Maria Shikongo, a climate activist from Namibia, said an ongoing drought had already impacted her communities for the past decade.
She called for accountability in the fossil fuel industry.
On climate financing, she said that the most impacted communities should be on the table, “we have the solutions. Indigenous people have the solutions.”
Dominika Lasota, a climate activist from Poland, said, “we have to finally realize there is no future with fossil fuels, and we desperately need to put everything we can, all the money, all the energy, all the political will on the solutions, the renewable energy expansion, just transition and fossil fuel phaseout.”
The march ended with a sit-in, at which the participants read the COP27 People’s Declaration for Climate Justice.
The document endorsed by the dozens of organizations present, calls for a “system change” to ensure and enable just transitions to 100 per cent peoples-owned decentralised renewable energy systems, the repayment of climate debt by reducing emissions to real zero by 2030 and addressing long and damage, the phase-out of fossil fuels, and to ensure a safe and enabling environment for civil society.
