The People’s COP27 is a platform for the voices shut out of COP27. Stories from the frontlines of the climate crisis and an online high-level plenary event will deliver messages from marginalised people to the politicians making decisions about how the world is meeting the challenges of climate breakdown.

We will gather perspectives and messages from communities and organisations around the world and together, present a list of clear, concrete and actionable demands to global decision makers as they go into the COP27 negotiations.

By listening carefully to those experiencing the impacts of the climate emergency and to the visionaries across the world who have the solutions we need, by standing together and calling for action with one voice, we can make ourselves heard and catalyse the action we need to ensure a liveable future on Earth.
