Babitha PS, member of the Facilitative Committee of the Women and Gender Constituency, cofounder of Menstruation Matters, Kerala, and part of the Not Without Us! Project, spoke on behalf of the WGC at the Kick Big Polluters Out press conference:
“Our constituencies, consisting of women, Indigenous leaders, LGBTIQ+ individuals and frontline communities, are once again outnumbered eight times by lobbyists who are representing the very fossil fuel system we are working to dismantle.
This COP is presented to us as the COP of implementation of the Paris Agreement, as the most inclusive COP held in the heart of the Amazon, on Indigenous, sacred land, in a region whose people have safeguarded life for generations. But what we are presented with is an illusion of inclusion and justice, while in reality we are getting false solutions and dangerous distractions.
Big polluters must stop being able to write the rules of climate action right now - we demand an end to corporate sponsorship.
There is no climate justice with polluters in. There is no climate justice without Indigenous People’s rights.”
