climate talks are in their final days, and there's a massive problem that

roadblock to a bold outcome for a climate safe future: broken promises by
rich countries to deliver 100 billion dollars in life-saving funds.Vulnerable
countries are rising up with a united voice demanding no more delay -- as the
seas rise up around them: the result of decades of unchecked pollution that they
contributed little to.Avaaz is standing shoulder to shoulder with them --
speaking truth to power.Now we're bringing the heat to 3 key European leaders
who can deliver a breakthrough: French President Macron, German Chancellor
Merkel, and head of the EU Commission von der Leyen. Let's show them that people
around the world are demanding that they lead with courage. Avaaz is one of the

Dear
friends, |
|
It's
crunch time at the Glasgow COP26 climate summit,
and one thorny issue is still a
top roadblock to a bold outcome
for a climate safe future: broken
promises by rich countries to deliver 100
billion dollars in life-saving
funds.
Vulnerable countries are rising up
with a united voice demanding no more delay --
as the seas rise up around them: the result of
decades of unchecked pollution that they
contributed little to.
Avaaz is standing
shoulder to shoulder with them -- speaking truth
to power.
Now we're bringing the
heat to 3 key European leaders who can
deliver a breakthrough: French President Macron,
German Chancellor Merkel, and head of the EU
Commission von der Leyen. Let's show them that
people around the world are demanding that they
lead with courage. Avaaz is one of the
only movements that can generate people power in
real-time to influence the high-stakes talks, so
let's use our power to push for a climate
breakthrough!

Despite
having a strong track record in the
negotiations, experts are remarking on how much
Europe has been missing in action in these last
few days. The commitment for providing 100
billion dollars collectively to help the most
vulnerable countries was agreed 12 years ago,
and it still has not been met even past the
deadline of 2020.
Vulnerable countries
ravaged by climate disasters and Covid (with
rampant vaccine inequity) have a right to be
angry. Avaaz has been a loud voice standing in
solidarity with them over the past weeks calling
for an end to climate
betrayal.
Now we're in the final
stretch, with hours to go to the end of the
summit. Whatever countries agree could
accelerate progress towards an inevitable
decarbonized future, or breach trust and
undermine future collaboration. Finance
is key -- let's make some noise and hold those
who can make a difference to account.

This
week our actions also pressured US leaders like
President Obama (who originally committed the
$100B) and President Biden (who is now falling
short on delivering it), racking up major media
coverage across The New York Times, BBC, and
Reuters. The climate crisis can feel too big
sometimes, but there is always something we can
do -- what matters is that we stand on the side
of truth and justice, and be proud of how we
show up together.
With hope and
determination,
Risalat, Mike, Nax,
Daniel, Oscar, and the entire Avaaz
team
