It's time to Kick Big Polluters Out!

Act Now

Dear Friend,

Whether you live in a city experiencing record heat waves, a rural community dealing with unprecedented droughts and wildfires, or an island that is disappearing because of rising sea levels, so many of us are experiencing the impacts of the climate crisis, especially those on the frontlines, Indigenous communities, and folks in the Global South. Something else we all have in common? We all believe that everyone deserves a livable planet for generations to come.

But corporate interests from polluting industries like oil and gas, agribusiness, and more have a vested interest in undermining any action that will meaningfully address the climate crisis because it will hurt their profits. And today, the Kick Big Polluters Out coalition just released research exposing the disturbing fact that there are over 1,770 of these Big Polluters officially taking part in the U.N. climate talks that are happening right now in Baku, Azerbaijan. In fact fossil fuel lobbyists have received more passes to attend the climate talks than all the delegates from the ten most climate-vulnerable nations combined. And they are using the talks to advance a corporate agenda that will keep the world hooked on fossil fuels, and destroy millions of lives.

These Big Polluters may have an outsized voice at the talks, but we refuse to let that go unchallenged. Members of the global campaign to Kick Big Polluters Out are on the ground at the climate talks right now. Today, they’re holding a global day of action demanding that Big Polluters be kicked out of the talks. Will you join them?

Add your name and ask that the U.N. Secretary-General continue to take a strong stance against the fossil fuel industry and demand that the U.N. climate talks establish policies to keep Big Polluters from having a seat at the table during the talks going forward.

Kick Big Polluters out of the UN climate talks now!

Act Now!

Fossil fuel interests are the primary obstacle to accessing and implementing the solutions we need to address the ongoing and worsening climate crisis. Unless we kick Big Polluters out, the actions coming out of the global climate talks will fail to rise to meet the needs of this moment.

We know we can kick Big Polluters out because we helped ensure Big Tobacco wasn’t able to take any part in the U.N. Tobacco Control talks, and with allies, we are able to advance meaningful policies because of that protection.

Together, we’ve also already made some progress. Last year, because of sustained pressure from civil society, for the first time anyone attending the climate talks was required to disclose who they represent. Identifying the Big Polluters at the climate talks is an important first step, but now we must go further.

It’s time to kick Big Polluters out once and for all. Add your name and demand that the U.N. adopt policies to protect the climate talks from the undue and toxic influence of Big Polluters now.

Onward,

The Climate Team
