“Despite the failures of multilateralism, feminists delivered in the halls of Belém.

Our power is not in these hollow decisions but in the struggle they illuminate, and we will return to these halls to fight for our rights.
Demarcação Já.

Wrapping up two intense and inspiring weeks at COP30 🌿✨

Our GetDecarb team is leaving Belém energised and more committed than ever. These past days have been a whirlwind of advocacy, collaboration, and determination as we represented the communities we work with in Makassar, Yogyakarta, and Ambon.
📍 From negotiation rooms to the plenaries, we followed multiple tracks closely and contributed to the momentum that led to the adoption of the Belém Gap - a milestone we’re proud to have supported.
📣 We joined actions across the COP venue, bringing our banners and messages that reflect the lived realities in Indonesia, making sure that the voices from the ground were seen and heard.
🎤 Our highlight: a fully attended side event at the German Pavilion, where we had the chance to present our project, share community stories, and connect with partners who care as deeply as we do about a just, inclusive decarbonisation pathway.
As we return home, we’re carrying renewed energy and a stronger sense of purpose. The work continues, with and for the communities driving climate solutions every day.

Meet Marhaini from Aksi! for Gender and Ecological Social Justice Indonesia. She went to COP30 with the project GetDecarb, a project on women-led gender-transformative nitiatives in Indonesia.

“I came to amplify women voices from the community especially from small farmers and smaller communities, and the urban poor. We demand that the government involves women in the decision-making process, especially the whole process of planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluation and the full stages of the project and policy of climate change.”

This project is supported by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the Federal Government of Germany. Within the Federal Government, the IKI is anchored in the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN). Selected individual projects are also the responsibility of the Federal Foreign Office (AA).

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.”

🌈 Together with the Intersectional Qu**rs Working Group of the Women & Gender Constituency, Elena Georgiadi from LIFE e.V. spoke at the “Queer Intersections for Climate Justice: Demands and Progress for COP30” press conference at COP30 in Belém, Brazil.
She highlighted the specific vulnerabilities LGBTQ+ people face in the Balkans and Mediterranean during climate emergencies:
“If your family home isn’t safe because of your sexuality or gender identity, where do you seek refuge during a fire? The climate crisis does not check our documents before it arrives… Our invisibility in policy documents is not inevitable; it is a choice. And choices can be changed.” Elena called for explicit recognition and protection of q***r realities in all climate policy texts. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

🇮🇩 Across Ambon, Makassar & Yogyakarta, women are meeting drought, flooding & rising seas with solidarity and innovation. With the support of the GetDecarb project, they’ve become researchers of their own lives, mapped inequalities, and built small-scale renewable energy and food systems that support both families and ecosystems.

Their message heading to COP30: transformative decarbonisation begins with community women who refuse to be left behind! 🌊 ✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿
