Coal baron Gautam Adani’s reputation is in ruins – and he wants to use the
UN climate conference to clean it up.

But we can get him booted off the program. Tell UK Prime Minister Boris
Johnson not to give mining giant Adani a platform!

John,

We’ve received a tip that coal baron Gautam Adani is trying to elbow his
way in and secure a primetime speaking spot at the upcoming UN climate
summit.

The COP summit is a place for world leaders, experts and representatives
from the frontlines of the climate crisis to come together and work on
solutions. The people who should be centre stage are those fighting for
climate justice -- not a billionaire businessman who wants to open up one
of the biggest new coal mines in the world.

As host of the summit, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has final say on
who gets a speaking spot. Adani is throwing his weight around, but if
enough of us turn up the pressure on Johnson we can get him booted off the
program.

[ [link removed] ]John, will you add your name and tell Boris Johnson that the
COP summit should be for climate solutions, not corporate greenwash?

Our source tells us that Adani has already talked his way onto the
speakers list at the Global Investment Summit in the UK next week, a
summit meant to encourage renewable energy investments.

If Adani gets his way, he’ll have two opportunities to have the undivided
attention of investors and world leaders where he can greenwash his
corporation and distract everyone from the billions he’s pouring into
fossil fuel projects.

It’s no wonder he’s going on a reputation rehab tour, John.
Because Adani’s track record is terrible:

* The Adani Group was responsible for a coal ship sinking off the coast
of Mumbai that devastated beaches, marine life and the livelihoods of
locals working in tourism.

* Adani’s Godda coal power station in India will displace thousands of
Indigenous Adivasi people, and has already resulted in villages, crops
and burial sites being destroyed.

* The Adani Group has given millions to a Myanmar military-controlled
corporation accused of human rights violations.

* And most notoriously of all, the Adani Group is trying to build one of
the biggest new coal mines in the world. The Carmichael mine in
northern Australia does not have the consent of the Wangan and
Jagalingou Cultural Custodians and would send coal-laden ships right
through the Great Barrier Reef.

The UK Government should be giving speaking platforms to people like the
Pacific Climate Warriors who are travelling to the UK to stand up against
the fossil fuel industry.

[ [link removed] ]We cannot let billionaire businessman Adani get away with using his
wealth and status to cosy up to Boris Johnson. Add your name to the
petition!

Adani was meant to start shipping coal from the Carmichael mine years ago.
But the coal mine still isn’t operational because of the Wangan and
Jagalingou people, the Adivasi people, and thousands of SumOfUs members
like you, standing up to the mining giant and convincing over 100
companies not to invest in or work with Adani.

So now Adani is desperately scrambling for platforms to greenwash his
business to try and fix his crumbling reputation.

But not if tens of thousands of SumOfUs members like you speak up and
expose Adani’s unscrupulous scheming to charm Prime Minister Johnson, and
force the UK Government to ban the coal baron from the investor and
climate summits.
