Dear
friends, |

Raging
wildfires scorched entire forests in their
country, killing over 100
people.
Cláudia, Catarina,
Martim, Sofia, André and Mariana are growing up
with heat waves spiraling out of
control, watching in horror as the ongoing
reality of climate chaos inches closer to home
than ever.
But they’re not giving
up.
They are taking 32 governments
to one of the world's most powerful courts. If
they win, all those countries will be
legally forced to cut their carbon
emissions and phase out fossil
fuels.
They are facing an army
of government lawyers who hope this case will
fly under the radar. After years of preparing
for this historic moment, these climate
heroes need to know they are not alone.
Avaaz will bring our voices to the youth and
project messages across the court, so everyone
can see that the world is watching:

The
European Court of Human Rights is extremely
selective about the cases it hears – and yet,
the judges have fast-tracked this one. That's
how critically important this is.
This
trial could force a swathe of powerful
European governments to slash carbon
emissions and give huge momentum to
other climate cases hitting the courts around
the globe!
Because governments’
climate inaction is a human rights
crisis, these kids are standing up to
protect themselves from the climate emergency.
And they wouldn’t be here without Avaaz members
like you.
Together we helped pay for
these kids’ powerhouse legal team and funded
ground-breaking research showing how
government behavior is linked to climate
anxiety in young people.
Now
they need our help once more, will you
stand with the climate heroes before they go to
court? |

We’ve
seen the impact of taking legal action before:
Germany was forced to redraft their climate law
as a result of a court case brought by youth. In
the Netherlands, a judge ordered mass polluter
Shell to reduce its emissions. Now we can
support these young climate heroes pushing 32
governments to take stronger climate action.
Let’s build pressure before the verdict – and
make history!
In solidarity,
Ruth,
Nell, Pascal, Mélanie, Nick, Daniel, Fey,
Emilie, and the entire Avaaz team
