Hi John,

I’ve spent 17 straight days at global climate change negotiations, walking
18,000 coffee-fuelled steps every day across briefings, meetings and
protests but at last, we have a conclusion to COP28.

The end of the fossil fuel era is in sight. We now have an international
agreement signed by over 200 countries to “transition away from fossil
fuels." ^[ [link removed] ]

It could be a lot more ambitious. There are plenty of loopholes that need
watching.

But the record numbers of coal, oil and gas lobbyists failed. They didn’t
want any mention of an end to fossil fuels.

There’s more. A commitment to triple renewable energy by 2030, exactly as
more than 30,000 of you demanded.^[ [link removed] ]

It’s what we need to head toward 100% renewable energy. Let’s be clear -
we need to avoid any new forms of exploitation and pollution as we make
this change, and we still need the money to pay for it all.

There’s a long, long way to go. But hope is still alive.

In the weeks running up to COP28, our Global Power Up saw 223 gatherings
in 66 countries, as we took to the streets to demand renewable energy and
an end to coal, oil and gas.

All through these negotiations, your emails, tweets, social media posts
and signatures helped push decision-makers in the right direction.

We can take a moment to feel the hope and the power of the climate
movement. Led by people on climate frontlines, like the small island
states of the Pacific, this movement is as deep as the ocean and as vast
as a rainforest.

And then onwards. We’re not going to wait for politicians. A world powered
by renewable energy starts today with us. You can get involved by joining
us TOMORROW at 7PM ET/ 4PM PT and hear our plan for 2024.

And look out for more chances to take action in 2024. Onwards!
