*[Enwl-eng] where leaders failed, we’ll keep up the pressure

[ENWLine]

Hi,

Last week, 40 world leaders met for the Leaders Summit on Climate in a two-day virtual conference.

With this rare meeting of world leaders to discuss the climate crisis, we saw the opportunity to send them a bold message: stop funding fossil fuel projects and get serious about climate justice.

So our team went to the White House in Washington, D.C. to deliver over 300,000 signatures, including yours, to host of the Summit and US President, Joe Biden. 

If you missed the virtual rally, you can watch it here.

 

 

But despite some glimmers of hope, the outcome of the Summit is clear: world leaders failed to deliver on climate justice. The biggest problem was their lack of commitments to stop financing fossil fuel projects — one of the key areas that can speed up the transition away from fossil fuel energy. It’s one thing to make climate goals, but it’s another thing to keep on funding the flames.

That’s why we need to keep turning up the pressure. If we truly want to stop the planet from warming we need grand ambitions on a large scale. We must focus on how the industry is financed. We need to stop letting our money be used to support planet-destroying endeavors, and instead radically invest in and build infrastructure for fair, just renewable energy.

Join a finance campaign near you and join people everywhere pushing banks, government regulators, and politicians to stop financing fossil fuel projects.

As long as money continues to flow into new fossil fuel developments, we will never have a chance at a just transition away from climate chaos. Let’s follow the money.

In solidarity,

Emily and the entire 350.org team
