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. 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:
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.
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
