When Lula took office, he promised zero deforestation in the
Amazon and zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Yet he’s caved into lobbying from oil companies, opening up the
Amazon basin for drilling and allowing the construction of a
mega-highway that will cut through miles of precious
rainforest.
But Lula still has a last chance to make good on his
promises. In just over 100 days, Brazil will host the global
climate talks — and it’s a pivotal moment for Lula’s legacy,
Brazil and the planet.
To act boldly, to take on powerful corporate interests - oil,
agriculture, mining - Lula needs the full force of a global movement
behind him. Will you join the call:
Lula: it's your last chance — protect nature and the
climate
Lula wants to secure Brazil’s economic future for generations to
come — but the future doesn’t lie with companies driving the
climate crisis. It lies in a just and sustainable transition
that lifts people up without tearing nature down.
Scientists warn that we’ll exceed the 1.5 degree climate target
in two years. The window to stop dangerous climate change is closing
rapidly. This moment was made for a bold and courageous leader.
Lula’s legacy must be to respect Indigenous people and lands,
halt drilling and mining and stop the destruction of the Amazon.
Lula must show the rest of the world how it’s
done — ushering in a just and equitable transition,
where everyone lives with dignity and security.
Will you add your name and demand Lula delivers?
Lula, the people and planet are counting on you — it’s
time to show the world how climate leadership is done.
We’ve come together before to achieve the seemingly impossible
task of taking on corporate giants — like when we forced some
of the world’s biggest insurance companies to stop bankrolling
Total’s East African oil pipeline. Let’s show Lula we have his back
as he stands up to corporate power again.
