No Climate Justice without Palestinian Liberation
Why Israel MUST NOT participate
Israel, found guilty of genocide and apartheid, cannot be legitimised as a participant in any space within the UN system, including the climate conference. Its presence undermines the remaining credibility of COP30 and the global climate justice agenda.
Whereas there have been ‘rumors’ that Israel would not be sending an official delegation to COP30, we must ensure the United Nations and member states close the doors to genocidal and apartheid regimes, and that Israel’s companies complicit in its crimes are banned from using COP30 as a platform. Every company and government body which cooperates with Israel to allow it to promote and incite to genocide, greenwash apartheid, and illegal occupation, is complicit in aiding and abetting Israel’s crimes.
Why sign this petition?
Climate justice and Palestinian liberation are inseparable. The corporations and states profiting from fossil fuels, militarism, and ecological destruction are the same ones enabling genocide. By signing, you affirm that climate justice is inseparable from human rights, decolonization, and accountability. You assert that states committing genocide should not be welcomed in spaces purporting to protect our planet.
The Petition
To:
UNFCCC Secretary General, Simon Stiell
UNFCCC Member States
President of COP30, André Corrêa do Lago
CEO of COP30, Ana Toni
We, the undersigned, are grassroots movements, civil society organisations, climate justice movements, trade unions, and communities suffering the consequences of colonization and environmental destruction. We demand that Israel - including governmental and corporate delegations - be excluded from the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) and participation in the COP30 in Belém, Brazil. Its ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, its regime of apartheid, and ongoing illegal occupation fundamentally conflict with the goals and principles of the United Nations, including climate justice and human rights.
