About the Climate Justice Flotilla
The Climate Justice Flotilla is a transnational, civil-society-led maritime initiative sailing across the Caribbean toward Santa Marta in April 2026, ahead of the first International Conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels.
We are sailors, organisers, Indigenous leaders, Afro-descendant communities, storytellers, medics, researchers, and climate justice advocates united by one shared purpose: to end fossil fuel expansion and accelerate a just, equitable transition beyond coal, oil, and gas.
Why we Sail
The Caribbean Sea has long been a corridor of extraction — from colonial trade routes and enslavement to today’s oil refineries and coal export terminals. Coal mined in La Guajira passes through Santa Marta to global markets, while frontline communities face water scarcity, pollution, displacement, and economic inequality.
We sail to make these connections visible.
By crossing waters shaped by colonialism and fossil capitalism, we reclaim maritime routes as spaces of solidarity, resistance, and future-making. Our arrival by sea transforms a port of extraction into a site of international accountability.
What we stand for!
The Climate Justice Flotilla calls for:
-
An immediate end to new fossil fuel expansion
-
A binding Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty
-
Debt cancellation, reparations, and just transition finance for the Global South
-
Energy systems rooted in community ownership, care, and ecological regeneration
We believe climate justice cannot be separated from historical justice. A real transition must address colonial legacies, racialised harm, and economic inequality — while protecting workers and communities in the shift to renewable energy.
How we work
Peaceful, non-violent direct action
International solidarity coordination
Spreading our message out
Vision
We envision a fossil-free world grounded in justice, sovereignty, and reciprocity — where seas connect peoples in cooperation rather than exploitation, and where energy systems sustain life instead of sacrifice zones.
The Climate Justice Flotilla is more than a journey.
It is a living act of resistance and reimagination.
