Next Month, Governments from around the World will meet in Poland to decide how to Implement the Paris Agreement at COP24, from 2nd-14th, December 2018, at Katowice, Slaskie, Poland.



The UN Climate Summits, so called COP (Conference of the Parties) are Global Conferences, in the Course of which Action for climate Policy is Negotiated. Poland hosted them Twice, in 2008, in Poznań and in 2013, in Warsaw.

In December 2018, for the First time, the Climate Summit will take Place in Katowice. In April 2017 the UN Technical Mission Delegates, while Visiting the Capital of Upper Silesia, appreciated the City’s Excellent Preparation for the Event, including its Infrastructure, meeting the Highest Standards.

The Candidacy of Katowice received Recognition from Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance and Development, Mateusz Morawiecki, as well as the Minister of the Environment, Professor Jan Szyszko, who stated that, The whole region of Upper Silesia and Zagłębie is a very important example of what can be achieved through consistent policy of sustainable development and economic transformation.

The Conference is Expected to Finalize the Rules for Implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change under the Paris Agreement Work Program (PAWP).

High-Level Events that will Convene during the Conference include: a High-level Global Climate Action Event on December 4th; a High-Level Part of the Stock take on Pre-2020 Implementation and Ambition on December 10th; the Third Biennial Ministerial High-level Dialogue on Climate Finance under the Theme, ‘Translating Climate Finance Needs into Action,’ on December 10th; and the Political Phase of the Talanoa Dialogue, with the Opening of the Dialogue and Ministerial Roundtables to be held on December 11th.

These International Talks are a Key Piece of tackling the Climate Crisis, but we can’t Trust the World’s Governments to make the Right Choices on their own.

The Climate Talks are far from Perfect, Big Polluters have far too much Inside Influence, and for Decades Governments have Failed to take the Level of Action the Crisis Demands. But Climate Activists we’ll be on the Ground in Poland because Painting a Picture of a better Future, one in which we take down Big Oil and do everything we can to help those Devastated by Climate Change, is Key to making Progress towards Climate Justice.

Partners from every Corner of the Globe will Demonstrate a Groundswell of Support for the People’s Demands, a Joint Global Call to Governments Demanding that this year’s Climate Talks actually Lead to Meaningful and Just Climate Solutions that will keep Fossil Fuels in the Ground and Protect the most Vulnerable.

We’ve seen in years past that when We Speak with One Voice, we can make Real Progress and Change the Conversation. The People's Demands for Climate Justice have been shaped by Peoples’ Movements from Dozens of Countries where Climate Change is making Ordinary Life Impossible. We’re joining Hundreds of Partner Organizations to come Together and make a Clear, Unmistakable Demand for Climate Justice.

The People’s Demands:

- Keep Fossil Fuels in the Ground.
- Reject False Solutions and Advance Real Solutions that are Just, Feasible, and Essential.
- Honor Climate Finance Obligations to Developing Countries.
- End Corporate Interference In and Capture of the Climate Talks.
- Ensure Rich Countries Honor their “Fair Shares” for largely Fueling this Crisis.

Already, Big Polluters and their Allies are Working to Block Progress at this year’s Climate Talks at COP24. Corporations like Exxon and Shell have Profited Enormously from Driving the Climate Crisis, they don’t want Real Change. And in the U.S., the Largest Historical Contributor to Climate Change and One of the World’s Biggest Producers of Fossil Fuels, the Trump Administration is Lining up yet again to Promote Deadly Fossil Fuels and Wreck any Chance of Progress.

The World’s Leading Climate Scientists tell us we have just 12 years to Avoid the Worst Effects of Climate Change. Deadly Wildfires are Raging in California and Monster Typhoons are Tearing through Countries in Asia.

CLICK HERE to Sign onto the People’s Demands for Climate Justice and Bolster Our Call for Real, People-First Solutions like a Managed Decline of the Fossil Fuel Industry and a Just Transition to Renewable Energy for All.

Towards a Brighter Vision!
