Last month at the annual UN climate conference, world leaders agreed to protect people from the devastating effects of the climate crisis.
But rich countries like the U.S. are already arguing amongst themselves — and missed their first key deadline in launching a critical fund designed to assist poorer countries recover from climate disasters1.
Countries like the U.S. disproportionately cause the most pollution from burning fossil fuels2 — yet poorer countries are left to deal with the most intense impacts of the climate crisis — despite doing the least to cause it.
The fact that the EU, U.S. and others missed their first deadline because they were arguing over details about the Fund’s board is outrageous3.
World leaders have a duty to act on climate change and put people and the planet over petty politics. You can help make sure to keep the pressure up by adding your name to sign our petition right now.
Thank you for taking action today.
In solidarity,
Deborah for 350.org
