Here's the harsh truth, John:

The future of our people and our planet is at risk.

The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) just
issued a final warning on climate: "Our world needs climate action on all
fronts: everything, everywhere, all at once." The new report found that if
governments stay on current policies for climate action, we will miss the
window to secure a liveable future.^1

I know reports like this one aren't easy to read, and it's so easy to lose
faith... But I have some news that I think will give you hope.

We are launching a [ [link removed] ]Solutions Fund to power up energy transitions around
the globe that are rooted in equity and justice and bring our climate
campaigning to the next level.

I'll explain even more about the Solutions Fund in a moment, but if you
are ready to support this new campaign, [ [link removed] ]you can become a founding donor
of the Solutions Fund by making a contribution using the link below:

Over the past year, climate activists, local groups, community partners,
and members of staff here at 350.org have been working to build REAL
solutions campaigns. We have already launched initiatives like the Solar
Scholars in the Pacific — a training on the assembly and maintenance of
basic solar power systems that can provide easy access to electricity
post-disaster for island communities — and the Green New Eskom campaign in
South Africa, which is calling for a rapid and just transition to a more
socially owned, renewable energy-powered economy to address South Africa's
energy crisis. But we are setting our ambitions even
higher, John.

In the next year, we will organize and empower communities in every single
region of the world to develop climate solutions that work for them. From
community-led renewable projects to campaigns targeting utility companies,
we are setting out to put the world's energy future in the hands of the
people.

But if we're going to pull this off, it's going to take an unprecedented
amount of resources... and our window to secure a liveable future is
closing quickly. That's why I'm asking for your urgent support today:

[ [link removed] ]Can you make your

contribution and become a founding donor of the Solutions Fund? Together
we can take our solutions campaigning to the next level.

The news coming out of the IPCC report is not easy to absorb. But after
reading this email, I hope you feel the same inspiration that I do about
what is in store for our climate movement. There's still so much we can do
right now to END the era of fossil fuels and usher in a new era of
renewables. And together, I know we can do it.

In solidarity and in hope,
