Hi John -
In 7 days, we are kicking off our fight against utility companies across the country. This is a critical part of the fight for climate justice.
But our work extends across borders and institutions — and there’s a big moment coming up for our global climate movement.
The world’s most important climate talks (COP29) will be hosted and led by Azerbaijan this year. Unbelievably, they’ve just appointed the country’s biggest oil boss to help run the conference!
Having an oil baron at the steering wheel could derail these negotiations. But nothing is set in stone yet.
The Azerbaijani Government is hoping to use COP29 to polish its global image. A huge public outcry could help change their minds.
Fossil fuel executives have spent decades trying to sabotage and delay climate action.1
Getting the Azerbaijani state oil company boss to help organize climate talks undermines the whole process. It’s a huge conflict of interest.
The Government is still putting together the team to lead the talks, so now is the time to act.
If we can add thousands of signatures from people across the world, it’ll be almost impossible for the COP29 President to ignore it.
Last month, global warming exceeded temperatures of 1.5° Celsius for a year.2
We must fight for every tenth of a degree — and that means we need every international climate meeting to make a difference.
Onwards,
Team 350
