John, the truth is out and I wanted to make sure you're in the know. Over the past few weeks, leaders (like Vice President Harris) have been discussing climate action at the United Nations COP28 climate summit. But a shocking new ONE report has revealed that rich countries are spending a lot less than they claim to support those facing the worst effects of climate change.* Add your name to our petition to tell President Biden that we won’t stand by and let this happen. You can read the petition text below:
My colleagues spent hundreds of hours digging through and cleaning up the data. This is what they found. Nearly two-thirds of the climate funding promised either hasn’t been delivered or didn’t have much to do with climate in the first place. Funds allegedly for climate are being spent on anything from hotels and chocolate stores to coal-fired power plants. Even worse, many countries are spending more to pay back debt to rich countries than they receive in climate funds. Every day, those that did the least to cause climate change are fighting to protect their lives and livelihoods from the climate crisis. Over 20 million people are facing extreme hunger in East Africa because of a historic drought made 100 times more likely because of climate change. We finally have the proof we need to hold rich countries accountable for this huge injustice, and we need to act now. John, will you add your name to hold them accountable, and protect our planet before it’s too late? Together we can put the pressure on so we can’t be ignored.
