Hi John,
As the year comes to a close, I wanted to look back and share some highlights that made us all hopeful this year.
I also want to say thank you for being part of the climate movement, and taking action together with us for climate justice.
Despite the challenges we’ve all faced, it's important to highlight our wins, to remember what we’ve achieved, and to move forward together, with hope.
Power Up 2023
Power Up 2023, New Orleans
Power Up, our global renewable energy revolution which held over 220 events in 63 countries, was a resounding success. Together we motivated people worldwide to unite, demanding a massive scaling up of renewable energy, and a shift away from fossil fuels.
From Los Angeles to Nepal, the global mobilization applied immense pressure to decision makers just before the UN climate talks at COP28. We were able to do it because of you, John.
East African Crude Oil Pipeline
Stop EACOP at Total HQ, Berlin
In May, our campaign against the East African Crude Oil Pipe Line (EACOP) took to the streets, as activists held a global day of action across the world demanding we #StopEACOP.
26 major banks and over eleven (re)insurers have committed not to provide insurance coverage for the EACOP project, after facing public pressure demanding they back down from funding this dirty project.
Asia Solidarity Lab
ASL Zoom Conference 2023
This year, we launched The Asia Solidarity Lab, a dynamic platform that brings together amazing activists, thinkers, and artists from across Asia to address critical social and political issues. With a commitment to social justice, the Lab provides a space for meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and creativity.
Targeting Fossil Fuel Giants and Defunding Pipelines
Total AGM 2023
Our activists are on the front lines calling out big oil companies on their obscene profits and destruction to the climate.
We had huge news from Brazil, where the BNDES bank took a historic step in refusing to provide credit for coal-fired power plants. This victory sent a powerful message against dirty energy projects, with the new director Bruno Aranha now beginning the restructuring process for the bank to decarbonize its portfolios after early pressure from the climate movement.
World Bank
Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank
In 2023 we took on the World Bank, with nearly 40,000 signatures demanding new President, Ajay Banga, commit to ending our reliance on fossil fuels and redirect money to support a just transition to renewable energy.
It’s really quite simple — to prevent devastating climate breakdown, we have to end all fossil finance.
NYC Climate March
NYC Climate March 2023
On September 17th, over 75,000 activists showed up and joined the March to End Fossil Fuels, the largest climate demonstration in the US since the start of the pandemic.
Demonstrators put pressure on the Biden administration to end new fossil fuel projects such as Alaska’s controversial and newly approved Willow project.
John, our victories are proof that if we work together, we can build a brighter, greener future. And it doesn’t stop here: we need your support to continue the fight for a fairer future.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can make a world of difference.
Onwards,
May Boeve
Executive Director
