Hi John,

As the world gathers in Belém for COP30 – the first-ever United Nations climate talks in the heart of the Amazon – Brazil has a historic opportunity to lead the world towards climate justice.

But right now, there’s a dangerous contradiction at play¹ – and this is where we come in. Let's seize this moment to push Brazil’s leaders to turn COP30 into real progress for people and the planet.

Will you take action with us now to demand Brazil’s leaders finally put an end to fossil fuels and deliver real climate leadership at COP30?

As President Lula speaks about protecting the Amazon and tackling the climate crisis, his government is allowing more oil drilling, even inside the Amazon.² These new oil projects threaten Indigenous lands, widen inequality, and damage Brazil’s credibility as COP30 host.

This is what experts call the ambition gap³ – the space between what countries say they’ll do on climate, and what science says is needed to keep global warming below 1.5°C. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Brazil can close this gap by ending fossil fuel expansion, backing Environment and Climate Change Minister Marina Silva’s leadership,⁴ and creating a clear roadmap for a fair, renewable energy future led by Indigenous and frontline communities.

Add your name to urge President Lula and COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago to stand with Marina Silva and deliver true climate leadership that protects people and the planet.

The world is watching Brazil. COP30 could be remembered as the “Amazon COP,” the one that turned the tide for climate justice, or as another missed opportunity. Together, we can make sure it’s the former.

In solidarity,

Katrina for 350.org
