Dear friend,

Disease outbreaks. Malnutrition. Polluted air and water. Crop destruction.
Loss of income. The climate crisis is wreaking havoc on communities across
the globe — and causing the greatest harm to those who are least
responsible for climate change.

In fact, according to a recent study, by 2050, it’s anticipated that more
than 200 million people will need humanitarian assistance every year due
to climate-related disasters.

We need our leaders to meet this moment. In November, global leaders will
gather at the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) to
advance climate action. The decisions made there will have a profound
impact on the lives most at risk of suffering from the effects of climate
change.

[ [link removed] ]Tell your member of Congress to support strong U.S. policies that help
vulnerable communities adapt and cope in the face of climate disasters.

of climate shocks build resilience and withstand the climate threats they
