Dear friends,
Enough is enough!
 
For decades, big oil and gas CEOs have misled the public about the deadly impact of burning fossil fuels and cooking our planet. Now we are seeing murderous floods, deadly droughts and rainforests on fire.
 
Now these CEOs are meeting once again at a key business summit in the Swiss mountains, pretending they care for the planet - while digging new oil and gas fields and make billions in profits.
 
We will travel to Switzerland in the coming days bringing a "cease and desist" letter to oil and gas CEOs, demanding they stop any new oil and gas fields. Join us -- let's have millions of us speaking up and telling them that we see through their lies. Add your name now!
To fossil fuel CEOs:

This Cease and Desist Order is to demand that you immediately stop opening any new oil, gas, or coal extraction sites, and stop blocking the clean energy transition we all so urgently need.
 
We know that Big Oil:
 
KNEW for decades that fossil fuels cause catastrophic climate change.
MISLED the public and investors about basic climate science and its risks.
DECEIVED politicians with disinformation sowing doubt and causing delay. 
 
You must end these activities as they are in direct violation of our human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment as well as the rights of Indigenous people.
 
If you fail to act immediately, be advised that citizens around the world will consider taking any and all legal action to hold you accountable. And we will keep protesting in the streets in huge numbers.

It feels extremely difficult to keep hope alive in the face of climate devastation across the world -- from millions on the verge of starvation in East Africa, to the rampant destruction of the Amazon rainforest. But our hope lies in people -- in the millions of us who are determined to come together and demand corporate and political leaders take action.

It’s time to put these CEOs on notice -- showing them that 2023 will be a watershed moment for accountability. Let's do this, together.
Sincerely,

Vanessa from Uganda, Greta from Sweden, Helena from Ecuador, Luisa from Germany
