Dear friends, This isn't global warming anymore. It's global scorching.Our 
world is hotter now than any time in recorded history, unleashing a 
firestorm of heatwaves, megadroughts, and acidifying seas. We are shattering 
the temple of life, with a million species on the edge of extinction.Within 
50 years, 1.5 billion people could be forced to flee temperatures as hot as 
the Sahara desert -- already 20 million are forced to run every year.It's 
one of the greatest upheavals of life on earth, and it's caused by a global 
rise of just 1°C. We're on track for 3°C. Just imagine the hostile and 
desolate planet our children will inherit.But here's the most important bit: 
We CAN still turn this around -- we may be the last generation who can. The 
next five months are critical.World leaders will hold two major UN summits, 
where momentous decisions on the climate and extinction crisis must be made. 
It could change everything -- or nothing. It means we only have 150 days to 
shake our leaders into action, radically grow our team to overpower the 
fossil fuel army, supercharge massive marches, and get the world behind our 
courageous plan to save nature.Earth can't wait anymore. This is one of the 
most important times to be alive on this fragile planet, because it all 
hangs in the balance. We have to give it everything we've got, and if just 
10,000 of us make a small weekly donation, we could unleash a blazing surge 
of people power like never before. If you've ever thought of donating, do it 
now and let's fight for the future of our world:









                                Dear friends,
                                This isn't global warming anymore. It's 
global scorching.

                                Our world is hotter now than any time in 
recorded history, unleashing a firestorm of heatwaves, megadroughts, and 
acidifying seas. We are shattering the temple of life, with a million 
species on the edge of extinction.

                                Within 50 years, 1.5 billion people could be 
forced to flee temperatures as hot as the Sahara desert -- already 20 
million are forced to run every year.

                                It's one of the greatest upheavals of life 
on earth, and it's caused by a global rise of just 1°C. We're on track for 
3°C. Just imagine the hostile and desolate planet our children will inherit.

                                But here's the most important bit: We CAN 
still turn this around -- we may be the last generation who can. The next 
five months are critical.

                                World leaders will hold two major UN 
summits, where momentous decisions on the climate and extinction crisis must 
be made. It could change everything -- or nothing. It means we only have 150 
days to shake our leaders into action, radically grow our team to overpower 
the fossil fuel army, supercharge massive marches, and get the world behind 
our courageous plan to save nature.

                                Earth can't wait anymore. This is one of the 
most important times to be alive on this fragile planet, because it all 
hangs in the balance. We have to give it everything we've got, and if just 
10,000 of us make a small weekly donation, we could unleash a blazing surge 
of people power like never before. If you've ever thought of donating, do it

                                The UN Biodiversity Summit will happen in 
October, and aims to end the extinction crisis with bold new protections for 
nature. And then just a few weeks later, the global Climate Summit: our best 
chance to secure new commitments to avoid a climate catastrophe.

                                It will not be easy, but there is reason to 
hope.

                                Almost all the world's biggest economies 
have now pledged to end carbon pollution by 2050 -- and the pandemic has 
shown that bold, systemic changes can happen far quicker than anyone 
dreamed. Humanity is learning that everything on our beautiful planet is 
intimately connected.

                                But this is an emergency and pledges aren't 
enough. We need real, decisive action -- and that will take absolutely 
everything we've got over the next 5 months. Here's the plan:

                                a.. We'll massively scale up our team of 
media and policy experts, researchers, and organisers to pressure 
governments to sign a bold new deal to save nature;
                                b.. We'll bring brave indigenous leaders to 
the summits, ensuring their urgent call to protect life-giving ecosystems is 
heard loud and clear;
                                c.. We'll publish bombshell reports and 
shine a glaring media spotlight on the shady lobbying tactics of the fossil 
fuel giants; and
                                d.. We'll help organise historic marches, 
ensuring our leaders know the world is watching.
                                The threats we face are no longer just 
serious; they are a matter of survival. Earth can't wait anymore: it needs a 
powerful voice as leaders decide the future. A tiny regular donation will 
make an incredible difference to what we can do together -- chip in now so 
we can be deafening:

                                In the battle to save our world, there is no 
certainty; only opportunity. And together, our years of marching, 
protesting, and advocacy have helped create the golden opportunities ahead. 
Together, we are changing the world -- and I am now more hopeful than I've 
been in a very long time. And hope is power. The power to rise and fight and 
charge like never before. Because it's clear that when we come together, all 
66 million of us, our movement is capable of the most extraordinary things. 
This moment demands nothing less.

                                With fierce hope and determination, always,
