COP30 will take place at the heart of the Amazon Rainforest

in Belém, Brazil, in November, where the fabric of life is at risk. In communities across the Global South, families are losing their homes to floods, farmers watch crops die due to droughts, and children are spending their childhood surrounded by conflict and environmental degradation.

The climate crisis is not just an issue of rising temperatures, it is about fairness and shared responsibility.

Our Shared Commitment

We are reminded as Muslims: we are khalifah—stewards of the Earth. Our responsibility is to protect creation with justice (‘adl), compassion (rahma), and balance (mizan).

This is why the Ummah For Earth Alliance is heading to COP30 in Belém. We are not only carrying demands; we are carrying a vision,faith-led solutions rooted in our principles. We are creating space for frontline Muslim communities to speak for themselves, voices too often silenced. Our events will amplify their call, showing that protecting nature and living our faith are inseparable. Through our campaign, we are striving to place the lens of faith at the heart of climate discussions, ensuring that Muslim voices help shape the solutions we urgently need.

Our message for COP30 is loud and clear

📢 Finance a Climate Resilient Earth 📢

To finance a resilient planet, we must hear the voices of equity, community, and faith. Our story is told through the actions we aim for

A Fair Transition

Fossil fuels must stay in the ground. The transition to clean energy must protect workers, communities, and the most vulnerable

Islamic Finance for sustainability

Green sukuk, zakat, waqf, and takaful can unlock billions for adaptation, renewables, and resilience—free from exploitation

Communities First

Women, youth, Indigenous peoples, and grassroots movements must be in the lead

Transparency and responsibility

Historical polluters, the Global North, and world leaders are responsible for every decision that propels destruction.

Interfaith Solidarity

One moral voice is stronger together than any single tradition. Together, we stand for a healthier planet

Faith in Policy

Spiritual and moral voices must have a place at every table of decision-makingSpiritual and moral voices must have a place at every discussion on climate

A Global Movement

Youth-led, gender-inclusive, anti-colonial. Faith-rooted. Justice-centered. Unlimited

This is not a list of actions. This is the story of what we must build together.

United, we demand Global North countries to finance a climate-resilient future, a world where no one is left behind.

This year in Belém, the world has a choice: continue down the present course of destruction or choose compassion, and resilience.
