Hi John,
As this email is landing in your inbox, the first international meeting to discuss how countries most impacted by climate change should be compensated for climate loss and damage is taking place in Egypt.

This is incredible progress for the climate movement given that it took three decades of tireless campaigning before a ‘loss and damage fund’ was finally agreed at the last UN climate summit (COP27). But now governments including ours, which sits on the crucial UN committee making the decisions, have to deliver on it. And that means holding big polluters accountable for the climate damage they’ve caused.
That’s why I’m writing to you today, to ask if you are able to donate £5 to make big polluters pay for the loss and damage they have created? We need your help to take action now and demand big energy companies are being taxed appropriately.

Big oil companies’ eye-watering profits made the news again only last month. While many parts of the world are struggling to recover from some of the most extreme climate disasters so far, big fossil fuel companies have been showering their shareholders with unprecedented profits.

ExxonMobil alone reported a net profit of $56 billion for 2022, setting a historic high for the Western oil industry. Shell announced the biggest profits in the company’s 115-year history, and BP celebrated record profits while scaling back their climate change plans. Together the ‘Big Five’ raked in unimaginable profits of $195 billion during 2022. And it is these very companies that are responsible for over four times the emissions than the least polluting 150 countries combined.

Reading figures like these is disturbing. But if we don’t change the rules, companies like ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, Chevron and Total will continue to pursue endless growth at the cost of the majority of people on this planet.

The UK is home to some of the most polluting corporations - BP and Shell - making us well placed to push our government to increase taxation on these energy giants to pay for their damage.

With your support we can expose these companies in the media, organise attention grabbing stunts and mobilise more people to take action with us. We understand this is a difficult time and not everyone is able to donate. If you are, any donation would count for a lot, as the majority of our campaigns are funded by people like you.

** Let’s make sure big fossil fuel companies pay for their climate damage
------------------------------------------------------------
When big companies hold so much power it can be daunting to take them on. But that is what we do. Together we can expose extreme corporate power and build a movement to challenge the structures that allow this damage to continue. And time is of the essence - we desperately need to change course.

This is a campaign we can’t fight alone. But with your support we can build resourceful coalitions here and internationally to help our movement become strong enough to stand against big polluters, and give our campaign the maximum impact.

Ultimately, we need to democratise energy production and move away from fossil fuels. But forcing big polluters to pay for the damage they have been causing is a good start.

The agreement to establish a loss and damage fund gives us immense hope. Energy giants’ mega profits in the context of a cost of living crisis and ever more climate driven disasters don’t bode well with the majority of people. And with big energy companies in the media spotlight, we have an opportunity to raise awareness and mobilise more people to put pressure on our government to take concrete measures for climate justice ahead of the next UN climate summit. So if you can, please support our campaign today.

When it comes to climate change, we have to address our broken economy which allows corporations to dominate and be so destructive. At Global Justice Now we don’t shy away from big issues. We’re in it for the long run working to change the global economy bit by bit. And with your support we can change direction.

Thank you for considering a donation for climate justice.

Dorothy Guerrero
Head of policy at Global Justice Now
P.S. If you can, please support ([link removed]) our fight for big fossil fuel corporations to be properly taxed so funds can be directed to those facing the impact of climate chaos.
