NETZ's solidarity with CSO Position Paper to reinforce Bangladesh's demand at COP 30

This CJA-platform of more than 50 national and international organization denounces the slow and inadequate delivery of the state-led global climate governance under the UNFCCC towards the national climate actions. It prepared a position paper and through the Position Paper, CSOs from Bangladesh calls the global leaders and Heads of states to keep on their Paris commitment of limiting global average temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius and ensure adequate means of implementation (MOI) in terms of finance, capacity building and technology support, to the developing countries to enable them to adapt with the unprecedented impacts of climate change, and to contribute to emission reduction efforts to make Paris target live and achievable.
Key demands of Climate Justice Alliance Bangladesh (CJA-B) from COP30:
- The ‘Baku to Belem Roadmap to 1.3T’ must provide a clear political signal for financing adequate climate actions, with high priority to providing public, grant-based, and highly concessional finance for developing countries”. COP 30 must require transparent and accountable implementation of developed countries’ financial obligation under Article 9.1 of the Paris Agreement to provide new, additional, predictable and grant-based climate finance to the developing countries.
- The new or revised NDCs 3.0 must ensure a drastic course correction and include adequately ambitious mitigation targets aligned with the 1.5 degrees C trajectory. COP30 must strengthen the Mitigation Work Programme with a clear signal to move from dialogue to action, focusing on NDC implementation while ensuring environmental integrity.
- Parties should finalize a robust indicator framework for global goal on adaptation (GGA) and operationalize the Baku Adaptation Roadmap to connect global targets with scaled-up f inance, technology, and capacity-building support for developing countries
- COP30 must establish Loss and Damage as a permanent agenda item, secure long-term f inance under the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG), and enhance coordination between the Warsaw International Mechanism on Loss and Damage (WIM), Santiago Network on Loss and Damage (SNLD), and Fund for responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD). The WIM review should produce a global gap report on needs and finance, while the SNLD must expand support for community-based organizations and urgent-response procedures.
- Parties at COP 30 must overcome the divisions in question of implementing the GST-1 outcome. Parties must take immediate measures, supported by COP decision, on translating the major GST-1 findings into action, particularly transitioning away and addressing the gaps in the resource mobilization.
- COP 30 must adopt an Action Mechanism for Just Transition that guarantees implementing transitions in a manner that safeguards the rights of the vulnerable groups and are sustainable in the long-run.
- COP 30 must ensure adoption of a strengthened Gender Action Plan with dedicated resources and measurable outcomes. Gender equality, indigenous rights, and human rights must be mainstreamed across all UNFCCC processes, including NDCs, NAPs, and LT-LEDs.
Representatives of the Climate Justice Alliance–Bangladesh (CJA-B) strongly demanded the COP 30 to be a turning point— moving from promises to concrete actions that protect lives, restore ecosystems, and ensure justice for the most affected.
