01 / WHY WE’RE HERE
From Climate Promises to People’s Rights.
The quality of climate finance matters as much as the quantity.
When countries must borrow to survive a crisis they did not cause, climate action can deepen the very inequalities it should address. Change Initiative brings evidence from Bangladesh and other climate-vulnerable countries to this global conversation.
Our COP31 programme connects researchers, policymakers, civil society and communities around a shared question: how can finance protect nature, strengthen sovereignty and deliver a just future?

The Programme
Seven conversations. A shared commitment to change.
1. Grants for survival, not loans.
Put grants first for adaptation and loss and damage, with a published delivery schedule for climate finance.
CLIMATE FINANCE JUSTICE
2. Triple adaptation finance. Properly.
Agree on a baseline, an interim target and named providers, with first reporting at COP32.
ACCOUNTABILITY
3. Make loss and damage support real.
Scale the fund, set a firm 2027 replenishment target and make direct access the default.
ACCESS & RESILIENCE
4. Break the climate-debt trap.
Advance debt relief, climate-resilient debt clauses, debt-for-nature swaps and debt-risk screening of climate finance.
ENERGY SOVEREIGNTY
5. Put nature’s rights at the centre.
Apply Natural Rights Led Governance and test whether growth and graduation deplete natural capital.
NATURAL RIGHTS LED GOVERNANCE
