Hi John,

Our speaker tour with Mitzi Jonelle Tan is starting next Thursday. Mitzi is the dynamic force behind Youth Advocates for Climate Action Philippines, a coalition of youth organisations, student councils and individual campaigners.

Coming from the Philippines, one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries, she knows first hand what the climate crisis means. She’s one of a generation of young global south activists who are making the links between climate breakdown and an economic system where profit comes first and the world's majority last.

They know we need to end the fossil fuel era. Yet with so many people’s lives bound up with the fossil fuel economy, it’s vital we have a real plan for a just transition beyond it. Mitzi is in the UK to talk about how the Fossil Fuel Treaty can provide a framework for the climate justice that countries like the Philippines need, while ensuring that workers and communities here are not left behind.

She’ll be joined by other speakers in different places, including Irene Vélez Torres, the Colombian Consul General, Zack Polanski, deputy leader of the Green Party, and Rachael Maskell MP, who put down Early Day Motion 111 in support of a Fossil Fuel Treaty in parliament.
