SEPT 20 Actions
#PayUp for Climate Finance

We will end the week with Climate Finance actions. We urge groups and peoples movements to flood the streets and declare the need for Climate Finance as dire and immediate.  Governments of the Global North must heed to the people rising, demanding at least $5 trillion per year. The constant denial of obligations is unacceptable. Adequate, public and non-debt creating climate finance is urgently needed for mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage and a just energy transition.

When: 20 September, Friday
Where: Anywhere in the world, in your communities, in sites of struggle, in public spaces, in front of G7 embassies, near the UNGA venue
Main call: #PayUp for Climate Finance now! #PayUp at least $5 trillion per year for climate debt now!

OUR COMMON DEMANDS

Global North governments provide at least US$5 trillion per year to the Global South in public finance. This amount must be revised upwards regularly as needed and be considered as merely an initial payment toward the much larger total climate debt owed by the Global North.
Adequate climate finance that covers needs for mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage and just transition
Climate Finance must be public and should not be driven by profit intrinsic to private investments and corporations
New and additional climate finance contributions on top of the existing financial commitments of the Global North such as ODAs, multilateral and bilateral aids, etc.
Non-debt creating climate finance that will not lead to further exacerbation of the existing debt burden of the Global South
Predictable climate finance that will ensure that resources are available when and where they are needed most and avoid further delays in implementing urgent action
Climate Finance that is channeled through democratic, transparent and accountable mechanisms and NOT via the existing or new structures where the Global North dominates governance and designs policies favoring their geopolitical and economic interests.
Global North governments to tax the polluters and profiteers and end public subsidies for fossil fuels in order  to mobilize adequate climate finance
