JCoR Guide to COP30
This guide was produced by the Justice Coalition of Religious (JCoR), a coalition of 24 non-governmental organizations that are accredited to collectively represent over 200 congregations of Roman Catholic women and men Religious at the United Nations (UN).
Congregations of Religious sustain the long-standing tradition of serving people who experience the marginalisation, oppression, and vulnerability resulting from unjust global systems. At the grassroots, Sisters, Brothers, priests, and their mission partners are leaders in the provision of essential services. While these efforts offer vital temporary assistance, our common home cries out for lasting global transformation, a transformation that requires addressing the root causes of human and environmental suffering. We are thereby called to the work of advocacy.
JCoR coordinates the efforts of Religious and their ministry partners – across more than 100 countries – in pursuit of our common mission: To facilitate collaboration among members and partners of Catholic Religious congregations working at the grassroots and at the United Nations in order to: (1) strengthen one another’s capacity for advocacy and (2) advocate collectively for social, economic, and environmental justice and peace in international, regional, and national fora.
Whether you are planning to participate in United Nations processes and programs in-person or virtually, JCoR strives to provide the necessary resources for you to join us in our online advocacy efforts.

The guide is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French.
