Dear
friends, |
Today,
Avaaz placed a hard-hitting ad in the
Financial Times targeting Fatih Birol, the head
of the world’s leading energy agency,
the IEA, calling on him to be the climate
champion the world needs. Despite his
green rhetoric, under Birol’s watch,
the agency’s powerful flagship
report is fueling climate-wrecking
businesses -- justifying further oil
drilling, coal mining and delaying the
transition to renewable energies we urgently
need. Mr Birol is co-hosting a global
summit on climate today. So let's put
him in the spotlight and urge him to lead the
way to clean energy! The meeting is
about to start -- retweet Avaaz's
full-page ad, and then write your own personal
message:

Tips
for your own Twitter message:
- Call for real climate
ambition: According to the latest
climate science, we have less than 10 years to
avert climate chaos and keep temperature rise
below 1.5˚C. Beyond that: drought, floods,
extreme heat and poverty will be the future for
hundreds of millions of
people.
- Highlight the
shortcomings: the IEA says it wants to
shape a safe energy future for all, but for
years, its main report has consistently
underestimated the growth of renewables and
overestimated the need for fossil fuels.
- Point out how
they are putting the Paris Agreement at
risk: All IEA member states have signed
the Paris agreement. But instead of putting
central focus on the roadmap for the clean
energy transition we need, the IEA is slowing us
down.
- Use your own
words, and don't forget to use
Birol's and the agency’s Twitter
handles:
@fbirol and
@IEA. Don’t forget hashtags
#NetZeroSummit #WEO2021 and #WEO21

hope and determination, Martyna,
