In the context of the First Conference on the Transition Beyond Fossil Fuels, which will soon be held in Santa Marta, Colombia, the Jesuits for Climate Justice Campaign (JCJC) is presenting its Statement for COP31, based on the experience gained at Belém de Pará 2025 (COP30) and the urgent need to defend and promote climate justice in the name of faith.
Along with the declaration, the JCJC is providing a brief policy brief outlining the key aspects of each of the three calls we are focusing on, their status within the COP process, and related links. As required by upcoming events such as the 1st Conference in Santa Marta or the SB64 meeting in Bonn (June 2026), the JCJC core team will frequently expand the scope and content of this Policy Brief.
The JCJC steering group continues its work by calling on all Jesuits and collaborators of the Society of Jesus to unite in caring for our common home. Together with many other men and women of goodwill, both within and outside the church, we will promote and defend climate justice.
