Global Stakeholder Consultation - Climate Debt Risk Index 2025(CDRI'25) JUSTICE IN THE BALANCE: CLIMATE DEBT RELIEF AND THE RISE OF NATURAL RIGHTS LED GOVERNANCE

At COP30, Change Initiative hosted the Global Stakeholder Consultation on the Climate Debt Risk Index 2025 (CDRI’25) bringing together LDC leaders, government representatives, Indigenous voices, youth advocates, and climate finance experts from across the world.

The consultation highlighted a shared and urgent message: Climate impacts are intensifying debt crises in countries that contributed the least to global emissions.

CDRI’25 evidence and ground-level testimonies reaffirm that vulnerable nations urgently need fair, fast, and grant-based climate finance not loans that deepen inequality and lock countries into long-term debt cycles.
