The statement titled "Healing Together: Inclusive Pathways for a Resilient Future" said, “ As we approach COP29, it is vital to prioritize inclusivity in our discussions and actions. Ensuring the meaningful participation of all voices in decision-making processes is essential for advancing the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. While climate change affects us all, its impacts disproportionately harm marginalized communities, indigenous peoples, and vulnerable nations. Therefore, their voices must not only be heard but actively shape policies and solutions. This includes enhancing the representation of youth, women, and frontline communities.
Civil society organizations play a crucial role in amplifying these voices. We call on negotiators to prioritize inclusivity at COP29 and ensure that solutions are both just and equitable. These solutions must also be urgent and actionable, reflecting the dire nature of the climate crisis.
We stand in solidarity with communities worldwide who are struggling with the impacts of climate change, often with limited resources to adapt. As civil society representatives, international organizations, and climate justice activists, we are ready to support the COP29 presidency in promoting a diverse, inclusive, and gender-positive agenda. Additionally, we commit to partnering with local civil society organizations before, during, and after COP29 to ensure that the voices of vulnerable groups and other key stakeholders, including women and girls, are central to the climate conversation.
Now is the time for decisive action, and we stand ready to collaborate with all stakeholders to turn commitments into concrete results. Let us build a sustainable future that respects the rights of all people and protects our planet for generations to come.
