ADAPTATION & FINANCE

Adaptation is not an afterthought. Around the world, women farmers, community leaders, and healers are already adapting, transforming vulnerability into resilience and scarcity into shared strength.

Women smallholder farmers feed the world, yet they receive less than 1% of climate finance. This is not just a funding gap, it’s a moral failure. When women have access to resources, adaptation becomes art: creative, regenerative, and just.

At COP30, Project Dandelion is calling for adaptation that honors dignity and equity. We will elevate the leadership of women smallholder farmers and make visible the solutions already blooming in fields, forests, and kitchens.

Our call: Adaptation is already happening. Let’s fund it fairly.

STEP UP LEADERSHIP

Brazil should step up its leadership by bringing the Global North and Global South together at COP30.

COURAGEOUS COOPERATION

We call for courageous cooperation across governments, sectors, and movements to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, triple renewables, and strengthen resilience.

ACCOUNTABILITY & HONESTY

The gap between promises and delivery must be confronted. Current NDCs fall well short of the 1.5ºC limit, and every fraction of a degree of warming matters.

FOSSIL FUEL PHASE-OUT

At COP30, governments must set out a concrete, equitable roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels.

JUST FINANCE

Governments must turn the Baku to Belém Roadmap into real action: binding commitments, clear timelines and fair, accessible finance.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

We need to see concrete pathways to break down barriers so climate solutions can be shared and scaled everywhere.

MEANINGFUL INCLUSION

Women, Indigenous Peoples, young people, and those on the frontlines of the climate crisis must be intentionally and explicitly included in climate decision making
