As states gather in Belém for COP30, Equidem urges world leaders to ensure that climate finance funds freedom, not abuse. Drawn from frontline investigations across renewable energy, data work, and care economies, this statement exposes how the green transition is being built on wage theft, forced labour, and unsafe conditions. Equidem sets out a roadmap for a genuinely just transition: binding labour standards, worker-led governance, transparent supply chains, and climate finance that prioritises human rights over profit.
