John -

Yesterday, the President spoke at COP27 and announced more global
commitments in global south regions, with an additional 150 million
dollars invested in the Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience.

This is no doubt a good step in the right direction and funding for short
term recovery is necessary, but the United States can — and must — do
more. We cannot afford to only make incremental changes when the world is
heading towards irreversible climate catastrophe. We need radical action
now. [ [link removed] ]So I'm hoping you can sign the petition to put the pressure on
President Biden to take action:

At a minimum, we need 1.3 trillion dollars per year for loss and damage
financing to pay for climate disasters and future adaptation. As one of
the largest carbon emitters in the world, the U.S. must pay its fair
share. A 150 million dollar investment on the Emergency Plan for
Adaptation and Resilience does not compensate for current and future
climate disasters, and it’s not nearly enough to cover even a fraction of
the cost. With no mention of loss and damage finance, countries from the
global south will only be put further behind and continue to suffer from
climate disasters caused by big emitters like the U.S.

We are at a pivotal point. We need the U.S. to own up to its
responsibility and pay for its contribution to the climate chaos.

financing?

Thank you so much for your help.
