John -
In just three weeks, world leaders will gather at COP29, the United Nations’ global climate conference, to make critical decisions about our future. They’ll discuss how to address the climate crisis — and who should pay for it.
The United States is one of the biggest contributors to the climate crisis, while the Global South is bearing the brunt of the impacts. It’s only fair that the U.S. and other wealthy nations pick up the tab for mitigating the climate crisis at home and abroad.
COP29 is our best chance all year to win global action on climate. That’s why we’re calling on U.S. special envoy John Podesta to commit the U.S. to funding — at the levels the climate crisis demands — a just transition to renewable energy and to mitigating climate disasters in the Global South.
Our reality is stark: Climate chaos is accelerating. The recent hurricanes in the U.S. and devastating fires, floods, droughts and typhoons across the world have caused immense suffering. The climate crisis continues to hit the Global South the hardest despite those countries contributing the least to our current climate crisis.
It’s up to those with the resources — countries like the United States — to take responsibility for the mess we created and fund a just transition and climate mitigation for communities abroad and at home.
We need to make a bold commitment to funding a just transition and climate mitigation globally. And as the U.S.’s top climate diplomat, John Podesta can do just that.
As we approach COP29, we need to build momentum and pressure to advocate for a just transition and just climate mitigation.
In solidarity,
Team 350
