Hi John,

My name is Adenike Oladosu and I'm a climate justice activist in Nigeria.
Last year, I was at COP27 to demand justice for countries like mine that
are facing the worst effects of climate change.

Our ability to adapt to soaring temperatures and increasingly extreme
weather is literally life or death. I've launched the petition below with
ONE to highlight the crisis millions of people are facing in the Lake Chad
region, and demand that wealthy nations deliver the funding that
climate-vulnerable communities need to respond to the climate crisis.

If you agree, please read my petition below and add your name now:

Dear U.S. Government,

Right now, the climate crisis is affecting every country in the world. As
a climate activist in Nigeria, I have seen firsthand what happens to
communities that don't have the means to adapt to climate change.

Lake Chad was once one of Africa’s largest lakes. Its mineral-rich shores
spanned Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon, sustaining the lives and
livelihoods of around 30 million people.

But when climate change led to the lake shrinking by 90%, communities were
unable to cope.

With no means to make a living, families fled their homes. Hunger and
disease spread. Violent conflict broke out over the scarcity of resources.
Extremist groups took control. Millions of displaced people were forced
into extreme poverty. Today, the Lake Chad region is in a major
humanitarian crisis.

While communities like mine have contributed the least to climate change,
we're facing the worst effects. We're seeing loss and damage to our
economy, our lands, our cultural sites, and our livelihoods.

We demand justice. Climate justice means building more resilient
communities — not leaving the most vulnerable behind.

The first step towards climate resilience is to be ready for the disasters
of today. That means wealthier nations take responsibility for driving
global warming, and deliver the money that climate-vulnerable countries
need to adapt and invest in green technology.

As global temperatures continue to rise, crises like Lake Chad will become
all too common. Whether it's building flood defences, switching to
drought-resistant crops, or investing in small-scale farming, we must have
the tools to respond to the biggest crisis of our lifetimes.

We don't want promises for the future, we want action now. We want world
leaders to deliver the funds for climate justice today.

Sincerely,

Adenike Oladosu
