The climate and debt crises are two sides of the same coin. Fifty-four countries are in debt crisis, leaving them unable to respond to climate catastrophe and forced to take on even more debt when disaster hits. To make matters worse, these are the countries least responsible for the climate crisis in the first place.
International spaces like COP28 are key opportunities for us to make sure our demand to cancel the debt for climate can’t be ignored. That’s why we made sure your demands were heard by the government ahead of the summit, and why we’re at COP28 right now – we won’t let the message drop.
