Dear friends,
|
At just over 1 degree of warming, the climate crisis is already slamming the planet -- fast. In the last 12 months, a third of Pakistan has been submerged by floods, drought is starving millions in Somalia, and a massive heatwave has killed tens of thousands in Europe. But here's the really terrifying bit: even if every nation fully implements their current climate plans, we're still on track for nearly THREE DEGREES of warming!We CAN still turn this around. But to do it, we need governments to urgently scale up climate action, ending the age of deadly fossil fuels. So we've come up with a plan to make it happen:- We'll mobilise Avaazers everywhere to fight new fossil fuel projects, and a planet-cooking pipeline in East Africa;
- Fund ground-breaking legal cases to force accelerated climate action from governments;
- Work with small islands threatened by rising sea levels to push world leaders to phase out fossil fuels at UN climate talks;
- We'll use our millions of voices to demand that trillions of taxpayer dollars are shifted from funding fossil fuels, powering a clean energy revolution.
Ending fossil fuels means taking on the most powerful corporations in history. The only way is with a massive uprising of people across the planet -- let's make it happen, together! And we don't have much time. The door to the future we dream of -- where humanity and nature thrive together -- is slamming shut. Just a small weekly donation from each of us will make a huge difference. Let's fight together for the future of everything. Donate what you can now:

Ending fossil fuels won't happen overnight. Yet right now, we're burning more every single year, putting us on track for a catastrophe beyond imagination. But there are real reasons to hope.
90% of the world's carbon emissions are now covered by phase out pledges -- a clean energy future is coming. It all depends on how fast we can make it happen.
We need radical action to halve emissions by the end of the decade. That means no new fossil fuel projects, trillions poured into a massive renewable rollout -- and powerful laws to protect nature and people.
We can win important battles on all these fronts this year, and if there was ever a moment for people to change the course of history, it is now. For the climate, for nature, and for everyone you love, join this massive uprising for life on earth. Donate what you can now:

It can feel like we're making no progress in the battle against climate change. But together, our years of marching, campaigning, and advocacy have put the end of fossil fuels within reach. Let's take hope from that, and double down on the progress we've made, turning that hope into an unstoppable wave of people power that history will remember forever.
