The Berlin-Belém Protocol: Confronting the True Costs of the Climate Crisis
2026-01-30 18:00 - 20:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Karl-Liebknecht-Haus, Karl-Liebknecht-Haus, Berlin, Berlin, 10178, Germany
A Panel Discussion on Class, Colonialism, and the Failure of COP30
COP30 in Belém did not mark a turning point. Instead, it reinforced a system that shields corporate power and the Global North. Market-based “false solutions” have once again replaced justice, effectively greenwashing extraction through the language of the green transition.
This was a consensus of surrender: profit over life, carbon markets over systemic change, and green colonialism dressed up as climate action.

We refuse to accept this.

The climate crisis is a class issue and a struggle over power. Responsibility lies with corporate empires and complicit governments, not with the world’s poorest.
The Berlin-Belém Protocol is our response: a space to link climate justice with anti-capitalist, anti-colonial, and anti-fascist struggles. Join us to help write the real protocol for our future!
