BIG NEWS! The persistent demands and labor of grassroots movements and frontline groups resulted in COP30 creating a just transition mechanism!

Learn about the process behind the negotiations and the struggle ahead from JTA Policy Lead Fernando Tormos-Aponte!
On Nov. 12, 2025, the Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice organized a press conference at COP30 with panelists calling for an institutional home for just transition in the UNFCCC; calling out false solutions (no Tropical Forest Forever Facility!); and demanding that there be collaboration, not competition, among Global North countries.
