Hi John -

COP29 — the most important climate talks of the year — just kicked off a
few days ago. With Trump’s vows to undo the climate progress the U.S. has
made in the last four years, we need other countries like the UK and the
European Union to step up and lead.

But instead of agreeing to an international climate finance goal that
would help everyone swap fossil fuels for renewables and fund loss and
damage at this crucial moment, rich countries are playing the blame game
and arguing about who should pay.

They need to step up.

On other climate issues, the UK and the EU want to lead. But they’ll only
step up on the finance goal if they hear from people like you,
John. [ [link removed] ]Can you help build global pressure on the UK and EU to
pay their fair share and take bold climate action?

This improved climate goal is one of the biggest opportunities to stop the
worst impacts of climate change. If world leaders agree to it at COP29, we
could help poorer countries make the transition away from fossil fuels.

Regardless of who is in power in the U.S., countries in the Global South
still need money to transition away from fossil fuels. If the U.S. won’t
step up because of politics, we must direct our energy to other world
leaders who will listen. That means putting an immense amount of public
pressure on the EU and the UK to act.

Instead of fighting about who should pay what and continuing to fund
fossil fuels, the UK and the EU must take the lead internationally and
help get rich countries to pay up.

[ [link removed] ]Will you send a letter telling them to pay their fair share, and to
fight for an ambitious outcome that matches the urgency of the climate
crisis?

It will take 2 minutes, and it could help stop these talks from breaking
down.

Big polluter countries like the U.S., EU and UK played a big part in
heating our planet by pumping pollution from coal, oil and gas into our
atmosphere. And they got rich from it at the expense of poorer countries
through colonization.

We’ve influenced these crucial climate talks before — last year we helped
get leaders to agree to a huge renewable energy target and to phase out
fossil fuels. But that was a joint effort. It was Indigenous People,
frontline communities, and climate activists, like you, holding
demonstrations as they walked into meetings. Policy experts and our
communications team holding press briefings and crafting press releases
calling decision-makers out. And our digital team, sending thousands of
emails directly to country leaders and negotiators’ inboxes.

[ [link removed] ]We can do it again. Will you use your voice, John?

With hope,

JL, Senior Policy Analyst for 350.org, watching
COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan from the U.S.
