John,

Millions of people hit hardest by climate chaos are living in constant
fear of floods, tsunamis, landslides, or hurricanes wiping their
communities off the map.

Despite suffering the most from climate catastrophes, vulnerable nations
are not responsible for the destruction, and still pay the price for it.
If you knew the perpetrators, you’d ask them to take responsibility,
right? Well …

Burning jet fuel across the globe, the airline industry is one of the
world’s largest polluters. And with the biggest climate conference of the
year happening in Dubai soon, we have a unique opportunity to call on
Emirates, Dubai’s flagship airline, to be the leader the airline industry
and the world need.

[ [link removed] ]Tell Emirates: Lead on climate justice, pay your fair share.

While solutions exist to reduce emissions in other heavily polluting
industries – like power and road transportation – airlines continue to
rely heavily on destructive fossil fuels. Innovative solutions may be on
the distant horizon, but in the meantime, the airline industry continues
to fuel a climate crisis that is wreaking havoc on some of the world’s
poorest countries.

This year’s global climate conference will focus on operationalizing a
"Loss and Damage Fund" established to help poorer countries deal with the
devastation caused by climate chaos. Countries are expected to contribute
to this important fund, but without contributions from the private sector
and heavy polluters like airlines, the fund will be useless.

Emirates says it's an environmentally conscious leader of the airline
industry, so let’s make sure it lives up to its word and takes a real step
toward climate justice ... by committing to pay its fair share into the
Fund!

We have the perfect opportunity to convince Emirates to take this
important step, and kickstart climate accountability across the airline
industry.

But it will only happen if thousands of us demand it.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name and share this with friends and family – let’s convince
Emirates to pay its fair share NOW.

As a community, we’ve already succeeded in getting major insurance
companies to back out of oil and gas extraction projects. We have
experience winning significant victories for climate justice, and together
we can make sure that airlines alleviate the harm they’re causing — by
paying their fair share.
