John -
It’s a new year — a year full of new people-led solutions.
I’m Cansın, Associate Director of Global Campaigns at 350.org, and last November, I was at COP28. There, world leaders acknowledged the urgent need to triple renewable energy by the end of the decade. A historical agreement, which you can read more about here.
It was amazing to see all our hard work and the efforts of many other communities come to fruition.
Our primary objective now is to make the just transition a reality.
This is why this year, we're gearing up for grassroots-led actions, targeting financers that still support fossil fuels and redirecting them towards community-led renewable energy projects.
There are challenges. Big ones. But we can see opportunities arising. For example, we’re just one week away from the very first International Day of Clean Energy. This day was created by the United Nations acknowledging science, raising awareness, and mobilizing action for a just and inclusive transition to clean energy for the benefit of people and the planet.
It might not be much, but it’s showing a shift in mindset. A shift for the energy transition that so many people have been working towards tirelessly. People like myself, and people like you. Signing petitions, calling on leaders, engaging our networks, and donating to this critical work. Your support has been instrumental in our journey, and I'm hopeful that together, we can continue to make strides towards a more sustainable and just world.
The unwavering dedication of the climate justice movement truly fuels my hope for 2024. I’m inspired by the passion and commitment to a climate-just world. It really gives me the confidence that our fight alongside communities will endure and prevail. Communities are rising and we are growing, giving us the strength to face the challenges ahead.
Thank you for standing with us, and if you are looking to start taking action for the new year, check out ways you can get involved here!
In solidarity,
Cansın with 350.org
