John -
I'm preparing for the climate talks at COP28. COP is the primary decision-making body for global climate goals. The decisions made at COP28 are the north star for countries implementing them on national levels. It will shape the future of our planet — so we need to be there.
In a week, I'll travel to Dubai to represent 350.org and your demands, along with our movement's climate activists. But hundreds of fossil fuel lobbyists are also getting ready to travel to Dubai.
The good news is that 350.org has 13 slots available for climate activists in Dubai. So we're aiming to fill every single place to even the odds.
We will put pressure on decision makers to phase out all fossil fuels and push them to set an ambitious renewable energy target. Our demands: double energy efficiency and triple renewable energy to keep our planet's global heating to manageable levels.
Which is why I'm writing to you today, John:
We still need to raise $12,500 to cover the costs before the COP28 meetings start. But we also can't afford sending less than our assigned 13 activists to the climate talks. So I am asking you personally:
I realize it might not always feel like it, but your $3.50 is truly helping fight the fossil fuel industry. It's helping us push for a fair transition to renewable energy, in which we make sure communities are no longer exploited, but reap the benefits.
Because unlike Big Oil's lobbyists who have endless pots of money to get their disastrous projects in front of world leaders, our climate activists rely on supporters like you chipping in $5, $10, or whatever you can, to afford basic lodging, food, and internet connection during the conference so that we can organize for bold climate action around the clock.
But with only nine days left, we are still falling short if we are going to send more climate activists to the climate talks.
One of the most inspiring things about our climate movement is that when every person chips in what they can, we are able to achieve what most people think is impossible. And the time for bold action to phase out of fossil fuels and power up renewable energies is now.
I'll keep you posted every step of the way on how your contribution is helping us protect our climate and our communities. More soon.
Onwards,
Cansın Leylim
