This may just be the most important climate conference you've never heard of, John:
From June 16 to 26, governments will come together at the United Nations' 2025 Bonn Climate Change Conference to decide what will be discussed at the historic COP30 conference later this year.
But there won't just be government officials in attendance: Big Oil lobbyists will be in Bonn to try to push their climate-wrecking agenda and to ensure that the phasing out of fossil fuels does not make it onto the COP30 negotiations' agenda.
That's why it's critical that we send climate activists to the Bonn conference to make sure the climate movement, and the interests of the people, are represented in the COP30 agenda.
I will explain exactly what our plan is for the Bonn conference in just a moment, but first: can you make a donation today to help us send climate activists to Bonn and steer the COP30 agenda toward climate justice?
The 2025 Bonn Climate Change Conference is much more than just a pre-meeting to COP30. It's also a space where lobbyists, activists and Indigenous leaders convene to try and influence global climate negotiations.
Fossil fuel lobbyists will be whispering in government delegations' ears and trying to dissuade them from putting bold climate commitments on the agenda for COP30 in November.
And the upcoming COP30 in Brazil this year is an incredible opportunity to spotlight people power and climate activists around the world — and to win real climate action. Because unlike recent COPs hosted by petrostates and authoritarian regimes, this summit will take place in one of the world's largest democracies, with a powerful history of grassroots movements, with a government that has indicated it's ready to lead on climate action. We can't let Big Oil derail this moment.
So what are we going to do about it?
I am going to Bonn, and I'm bringing a team of climate activists with me. Our plan is twofold: to disrupt the fossil fuel industry's attempts to sabotage the agenda in favor of continued climate chaos, and to fight for Indigenous Peoples and traditional communities to have power and an equal voice in climate negotiations.
We will need to be in as many conversations as possible, and we need to be the loudest voice inside and outside the room, so that we can push for a COP30 agenda that will address our key demands — a swift transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, paid for by rich countries, and led by Indigenous Peoples and traditional communities around the world.
But we need your support, John.
Costs in Bonn, Germany, during the conference are high, and unlike Big Oil lobbyists with their bottomless pockets of money, we will need your support to maximize our impact. We're relying on you to afford travel to Bonn and build impactful actions with partners, so we can organize around the clock for a bold climate agenda.
And with just one week left, I have to ask: can you help us defeat Big Oil lobbyists in Bonn?
This is our chance to shape the future of international climate politics.
Thank you for your support in this crucial moment.
Onward,
