Oui pour une transition énergétique juste
📌This week, governments, civil society and multilateral organisations converge in Santa Marta, Colombia for the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, focusing on moving beyond fossil fuels following COP30 momentum, including efforts to operationalise the Belém Action Mechanism, to coordinate and finance a just and equitable transition for workers and communities.
The global consensus is clear: fossil fuels must be phased out. Science demands it. Civil society — and in particular feminist civil society and grassroots women-led organisations — has been calling for it for years.
But agreements are not transformation. And the terms of this transition, who shapes it, who benefits, and who bears its costs, are still very much up for grabs.
GAGGA is heading into the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels with a clear message, drawn from over a decade of frontline climate work with 2,590+ women-led organisations across 60+ countries: a just transition must be feminist, locally-led and grounded in the commons. Anything less risks reproducing the same extractive dynamics that caused the crisis.
Watch this space all week. We'll be sharing what's at stake, and what needs to happen.
