This is serious, John.
The planet just crossed its first climate tipping point. Coral reefs are
now in irreversible decline due to ocean warming and acidification caused
by climate change.
Without rapid climate action, experts warn that we’re on the brink of
hitting other tipping points too, including the devastation of the Amazon
rainforest, the collapse of vital ocean currents, and the loss of ice
sheets.^1
There’s no time to lose, so I’ll get right to the point. [ [link removed] ]Before I go
on, can you show your support for a livable planet by making a
contribution of $5, $10, or whatever you can spare to our climate movement
today?

The unfortunate fact is, world leaders are failing to act fast enough to
avoid climate catastrophe. And some, including Donald Trump, are more
focused on attacking climate science and ripping up all our climate
progress to date.
That’s why COP30 — the world’s biggest climate talks — is an opportunity
we can’t afford to miss, John. In less than a month,
decision-makers will meet in Belém, Brazil, to shape the course of climate
action for years to come. 350.org and our partners are demanding COP30
deliver:
* A rapid phaseout of fossil fuels, with no new oil, gas, or coal
projects.
* Reparations from wealthy countries to communities on the frontlines of
climate loss and damage.
* Indigenous, traditional, and frontline leadership at COP.

in to help us deliver our demands at COP30?

This year’s COP couldn’t be held in a more significant place. Belém is
known as the gateway to the Amazon — and climate change and deforestation
are pushing the Amazon ecosystem to the point of no return.
Now that we’ve passed the first tipping point — the collapse of coral
reefs — we’re hurtling toward the next: the dieback of the Amazon, which
is a critical carbon sink and will do devastating harm to the 100 million
people who depend on the forest.^2 We can’t let that happen.
I realize it can be hard to feel hope these days, but we must remember: we
still have the power to avert the worst impacts of the climate crisis. The
planet and its people are counting on us to fight, and we are.
[ [link removed] ]So John, can you please chip in today? When you do, you’ll
be helping us take the climate fight to COP30 and beyond.

With your support, we’re standing up to the fossil fuel industry. We’re
demanding a fair transition to renewable energy. And next month, we’re
pushing leaders at COP30 to deliver real commitments to fight the climate
crisis.
Thank you for your support.
In solidarity,
Katrina Riley for 350.org
