Per Capita Overall Cumulative Climate Burden 2002 - 2023 (USD)
YOUR VOICE AT COP30: FIGHT CLIMATE DEBT
Don't just watch COP30—be a part of it!
World leaders are meeting in Belém, Brazil, and we need your voice to demand JUSTICE. Join us and tell world leaders how you feel about the unfair burden of DEBT weighing on your shoulders.
The top 5 videos will be featured on the official highlights reel played for global policymakers at COP30.
WHAT YOU'RE FIGHTING: THE CLIMATE DEBT TRAP
Vulnerable nations are forced to take out massive LOANS just to survive climate disasters. The money borrowed is from the very nations that caused the problems in the first place. This creates a debt trap. Now, we need you to bring attention to this unending cycle.
We use the Climate Debt Risk Index (CDRI) to prove how loan-based climate finance is making economies vulnerable.
