The pre-COP talks in Fiji this week fell short of the leadership and ambition the climate crisis demands. With leaders from some of the world’s richest and most polluting countries absent, the message is deeply concerning.
As climate disasters intensify, communities on the frontlines cannot afford another COP where rich governments sidestep their responsibilities.
Next month, in Türkiye must be a turning point. Rich governments must step up with ambitious climate finance commitments and ensure the richest polluters pay their fair share.
As Nafkote Dabi, Oxfam’s Climate Policy Lead, says the time for leaders to take responsibility is now. The world needs action, not more empty promises.
Climate justice cannot wait.
