*[Enwl-eng] where politicians fail, the people are taking action
ENWLine
Hi,
A few minutes ago thousands of climate activists at the Global Just Recovery Gathering launched a global petition calling on world leaders attending US President Biden’s global summit to fight for climate justice. Before I share our climate demands, if you are prepared to join thousands of climate activists around the globe, please add your name now:
President Biden is hosting a two-day virtual Leaders Summit on Climate beginning on April 22, also known as Earth Day in the United States, where 40 world leaders will make key decisions on tackling the climate crisis.
The contrast between our Global Just Recovery Gathering and the Leaders Summit on Climate is exactly why our movement exists: where world leaders fail, people from all corners of the planet stand to demand climate justice and a just transition, and to expose the shocking financial support the fossil fuel industry gets from governments.
Biden seems serious about it and has been making bold statements, and so have some of his guests.
But if there's one thing our movement has learned is that bold statements mean nothing without concrete action. That’s why, right now, our movement is meeting at the Global Just Recovery Gathering, where thousands of attendees are calling on our world leaders to deliver on climate justice.
Join the call and tell world leaders to deliver on climate action.
Science has highlighted many times that there is no way we can meet a 1.5ºC warming limit without seriously reducing emissions. Economics has proved that funding fossil fuels is a dead end and that a just transition is by far a better deal. And above all, millions of lives from all over the world have been destroyed by the impacts of climate change and fossil fuel expansion. We demand climate justice — and are demanding it right now.
Thousands are signing the global petition at this very moment — and you can join them.
When world leaders meet later this month, let’s make sure they heard our call. We will deliver the global petition as they gather for the Summit.
Our movement is matching the scale of the climate crisis. We demand world leaders do the same.
In solidarity,
Emily and the entire 350.org team
