Venezuela's representative at COP30 delivered a sharp critique of Western climate policies, accusing developed nations of using energy transition as a new form of colonial domination. The address condemned "savage capitalism" and imperialist resource extraction, citing U.S. threats against Venezuela's oil reserves as examples. The delegate argued that current climate finance and technology systems exclude Global South countries while perpetuating fossil fuel dependence. Venezuela proposed an alternative model based on solidarity, sovereignty, and ecological balance, referencing Simón Bolívar's environmental legacy and Hugo Chávez's vision of climate justice.
