Dear
friends, I'm writing to you with an urgent message as the Prime Minister of
Tuvalu: Our country is sinking! My homeland could be one of the first nations to
be wiped off the map due to climate change. But we won't give up. We will fight!
In a few hours, I'm addressing the climate summit in Egypt to call for a new
global treaty to phase out fossil fuels and help vulnerable countries cope with
climate devastation. Join my urgent call to world leaders now!

Dear
world leaders at the COP,
Climate
change is drowning the Pacific
Islands.
The world's addiction
to oil, gas and coal threatens to swallow our
lands under the warming seas – inch by
inch.
But we will not stand by as our
home is wiped from the map!
So we’re
uniting with a hundred Nobel laureates and
thousands of scientists worldwide to
urge world leaders to join the Fossil
Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to manage a just
transition away from fossil
fuels.
The time has come to make
peace with the planet. To deliver
vulnerable nations the long overdue funding
needed to cope with the loss and damage incurred
from climate disasters and to make polluters
pay.
They say that one day, the
oceans will swallow the place we call home. But
I promise you this: until that day comes, we
will keep fighting.
Because if we
can save our islands, we can save the
world.
Tuvalu

Minister of Tuvalu |
