Year after year, we're seeing record-breaking high temperatures and climate disasters. While we and the most vulnerable communities face the worst consequences of the climate breakdown, our political leaders lag behind on taking the actions needed to stop our planet from overheating. At the last UN Climate Conference (COP28), they agreed to "triple global renewable energy" and "accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels". Now, they need to walk the talk!

Countries are expected to submit their climate change action plans, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), in 2025 – and these climate goals need to be ambitious, transparent and have justice principles as their main compass: finance must be moved away from fossil fuels and invested into accessible and affordable renewable energy.
