The Global Call for Reparations and Real Solutions is a campaign that emphasises the need for reparations for the exploitation and ecosystem degradation related to historical and enduring injustices inflicted by the global North on the global South. Central to the campaign is demanding that the global North countries pay up for their colonial plunder and climate debt and redirect finance away from dangerous distractions towards solutions that address the roots of the climate crisis.
We are joining movements and organising a series of impactful activities to push for reparations from the global North at the following political moments:
September 13-20, 2024
October 21-26, 2024
November 11-22, 2024

This briefing paper outlines the need for an international campaign to halt the financing of false solutions to climate change by bilateral, multilateral and international development funds, including United Nations agencies. Climate finance must support real solutions to the climate crisis that recognise historical responsibility, a common but differentiated response, and the rights and traditional knowledge and wisdom of Indigenous Peoples, women in all their diversities, and local communities.
