Taproot Earth facilitated a Movement GovernanceAssembly of more than 200 leaders from global frontline communities in Nairobi, Kenya from August4-10, 2024. Representatives from more than 22counties participated in a collective process toward defining global climate reparations using the People’sMovement Assembly process. This process, rooted inSouthern Freedom, Black and Global South Liberation movements, established a working statement around global climate reparations that was affirmed by the global south participants.

THE WORKING STATEMENT
Developed at 2024 GCR Assembly
[Global] Climate reparations is the restoration of healthy and balanced relationships with all that comprise a shared global ecosystem. Reparative action begins with those who benefit most from the historic and current systems of oppression. It requires the abolition of debt, restitution for injustice and the establishment of accountable systems rooted in Black and Indigenous liberation for all oppressed people and future generations.
