​Join War on Want and our global partners on the frontlines of climate justice. As movements gather at COP30 in Belém, we’ll also hear from members of the Peoples’ Summit and its Just Transition Axis — bringing frontline voices into the heart of the UN talks. 

​We’ll share stories from communities resisting corporate power and workers reclaiming energy systems, and outline our call for the UK to back the Belém Action Mechanism. Together, we’ll prepare to take our campaign and thousands of petition signatures directly to the UK delegation for real climate justice.
