PEOPLE & POLICY

Real transformation happens when we bring the threads of people, policy, and planet together into one shared fabric of change.

Women are weavers by nature and necessity. They connect families, communities, and movements, bridging divides between local realities and global decisions. COP30, hosted in Brazil under the spirit of mutirão (collective building), offers a chance to reimagine climate leadership as something relational, inclusive, and intergenerational.

Project Dandelion’s work is to connect the grassroots to the global conversation, so that the wisdom and creativity of women’s movements shapes policy.

Our call: The future is interwoven. Let’s build it together.

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
