In just 24 hours, the world’s leading finance ministers will consider the
global COVID-19 economic recovery plan.

They could listen to corporations and choose business as usual. Or they
could adopt a historic plan that cracks down on planet-destroying industry
like fossil fuels and protects us all from future crises.

A group of scientists and economists is fighting hard for change, but need
to show people are behind them. Demand a recovery plan for the planet: [ [link removed]- ]Take Action!

John,

In 24 hours, the world’s most powerful finance ministers will discuss the
global economic response to COVID-19 at the G20.

We can’t have it focus on business as usual, with mega-bailouts for
planet-destroying industries like fossil fuels. But that’s exactly what
corporate lobbyists are asking for.

That’s why a leading group of scientists and economists is pushing for a
historic recovery package that would feature the fight against climate
change, the protection of nature, and help for the world’s most vulnerable
populations — as part of the solution.

If they go to the G20 alone, corporate lobbyists will try to dismiss them
as out-of-touch elites. But if we can quickly get a million signatures to
prove that the people overwhelmingly support the plan, we’ll give them
critical ammunition — and give the plan a real chance:

A world-leading scientist says there’s 30,000 more coronaviruses just
waiting to be unleashed by environmental destruction. It makes so clear
how our planetary crises are deeply interconnected, from COVID-19 to
climate change to species extinction.

That’s why this expert plan addresses all of these crises, in a way
specially designed to make us more resilient by changing how our economy
works. It demands that any recovery package focus on:

* prioritizing climate change and protecting nature: including renewable
energy and reforestation
* helping the most vulnerable: including debt relief for developing
countries and raising income for the lowest earners
* shifting the economy toward sustainability: including eliminating
fossil fuel subsidies and introducing a real price on carbon 

This is what our planet needs, and it’s what all of us need -- a reboot to
our unjust economic system. And we may never have this kind of chance
again.

We know that vast numbers of people support this plan, but we need to show
it, and fast, to counter corporate arguments. Sign and share everywhere
for a sustainable recovery plan:

The head of the world’s vaccination institute says that the more we
destroy nature, it becomes a “certainty” that more viruses will leap into
humans, with the potential to cause more pandemics. It’s time our leaders
face up to corporate destruction of the planet and say “no more”.
