Dear
friends, |
I’m
writing to you from the UN climate talks in
Dubai -- we need your urgent help! The
talks are about to close, and oil states have
forced through a near-final agreement that is
a death warrant for the world’s most
vulnerable people, and our
planet.The host country can
still push through a decision that reduces these
bad-faith blockers to a footnote
-- but the US is the only nation
with enough diplomatic firepower to make it
happen.Our leaders think their
citizens are not paying attention to the talks,
but we can show them otherwise. If
enough of us call on US negotiator John Kerry
publicly to press for a fair agreement,
it could change the direction of
negotiations completely! Send a tweet
now.

Here
are some tips for what to say. The more
personal and individual your message, the better
-- so please go ahead and write in your own
words!
- President Biden brought
the US back to the Paris Agreement -- now we
need you to defend it. We must ensure the #COP28
deal limits global warming to 1.5ºC.
- I urge you to draw a
red line against the polluters in #COP28
negotiations and back the call for a fossil fuel
phase-out now.
- This is your climate
legacy, Sec. Kerry. I am calling on you to use
your influence to get us back to a global
agreement that can help us avoid a climate
collapse.
- The world can't afford
the #COP28 climate talks to fail -- the US must
show up now, and use its diplomatic firepower to
unlock negotiations.

If
no agreement emerges from Dubai, the entire UN
climate process could lose legitimacy. But the
host country, the United Arab Emirates, has the
power to approve a climate agreement if almost
all countries support it, recognizing the
dissent of a few holdouts in a footnote to the
text.
US Envoy John Kerry
has a close relationship with the summit boss --
and with the strongest blocker of all, Saudi
Arabia. He’s the ONLY negotiator at the
conference with the influence to do
this.
Right now, a small Avaaz
team is in Dubai, at the heart of the talks,
racing against the clock to save a crucial
climate agreement for the future of all. Let's
work together in the last mile of the
negotiations, and win the agreement that we all
deserve to protect our climate.
With hope
and determination,
Liliana, Diego, Aleks,
Dudu, Laura, Miguel and the whole Avaaz team.
