John, I’m writing to you from COP28 in Dubai, where I’m attending the UN Climate Change Conference. Before I tell you more, I want to pause with a simple message: Thank you.
Every one of us at Ceres is grateful and overwhelmed by the outpouring of support on this Giving Tuesday.
Writing to you from COP28, the potential of this incredible success is not lost on me.
My colleagues at this conference, whether in government, NGOs or the private sector, are rallying around the transformation needed to aggressively address the climate crisis. And I share in their optimism that we can halve carbon emissions by 2030.
John, this community’s Giving Tuesday generosity is critical to that target. It drives Ceres’ work to:
-
Defend every investor’s Freedom to Invest responsibly, weighing climate change as a grave financial risk;
-
Implement the historic Inflation Reduction Act to its full promise and potential to shift the U.S. toward a renewable energy future;
-
Decarbonize the 6 highest emitting sectors of the economy, and build business-led coalitions to demand climate-smart public policy;
...and so. much. more.
For your faith in our mission…for your incredible Giving Tuesday generosity…for your belief that a sustainable climate is within our reach…
…thank you, thank you, thank you.
Signing off from Dubai, |
