The Proclade policy brief for COP30 is a faith-based call to action grounded in the principles of integral ecology and climate justice. It argues that the climate crisis is fundamentally a crisis of injustice, disproportionately harming the world’s poorest and Indigenous peoples despite their minimal contribution to the problem. Rejecting “green capitalism” and technocratic false solutions, the brief presents seven strategic demands. These include an immediate and just phase-out of fossil fuels, reparative climate finance, a community-led energy transition, the protection of Indigenous land rights, and the decriminalization of environmental defenders. The policy is shaped by Catholic Social Teaching, the “preferential option for the poor,” and the lived experiences of grassroots communities connected to the Claretian Missionaries worldwide.
