COURAGEOUS COOPERATION

In a world divided by crisis and inertia, courage is the rarest climate resource we have. The courage to commit — to justice, to cooperation, to doing what is necessary rather than what is easy — is what will define COP30.

We call on leaders, the COP30 Presidency, and all Dandelions, to have the moral courage to do what it takes to make real progress at this COP. Moral courage means daring to cooperate across divides, confronting the gap between promises and action, and driving systemic change: from fossil fuel phase-out to just finance and inclusive leadership.



Our call: Courage is contagious. Let it take root.

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
