Subject: ✏️ Act now: Climate change is wreaking havoc








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.

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

COP29 will focus on climate financing for climate change adaptation and solutions. Those investments are critical to helping communities at risk of climate shocks build resilience and withstand the climate threats they will inevitably face.

We must act now to urge Congress to prioritize ambitious climate goals: Please take two minutes to show your support for communities affected by climate change.

Your support is critical during this time — thank you for helping to make a difference.

Sincerely,

The Mercy Corps team
