*[Enwl-eng] Urgent: help unlock the Glasgow climate talks

Fri Nov 12 03:18:21 MSK 2021

Glasgow climate talks are in their final days, and there's a massive problem 
that threatens everything. Rich, high-emitting countries not delivering 
enough funds to vulnerable and impacted countries. These 3 key European 
leaders could deliver a breakthrough, but only if we hold their feet to the 
fire. Avaaz is speaking truth to power -- please help by sharing this call 
on Twitter where negotiators are following the conversation 24X7. Dear 
friends, It's crunch time at the Glasgow COP26 climate summit, and one 
thorny issue is still a top roadblock to a bold outcome for a climate safe 
future: broken promises by rich countries to deliver 100 billion dollars in 
life-saving funds.Vulnerable countries are rising up with a united voice 
demanding no more delay -- as the seas rise up around them: the result of 
decades of unchecked pollution that they contributed little to.Avaaz is 
standing shoulder to shoulder with them -- speaking truth to power.Now we're 
bringing the heat to 3 key European leaders who can deliver a breakthrough: 
French President Macron, German Chancellor Merkel, and head of the EU 
Commission von der Leyen. Let's show them that people around the world are 
demanding that they lead with courage. Avaaz is one of the only movements 
that can generate people power in real-time to influence the high-stakes 
talks, so let's use our power to push for a climate breakthrough!

                                Dear friends,
                                It's crunch time at the Glasgow COP26 
climate summit, and one thorny issue is still a top roadblock to a bold 
outcome for a climate safe future: broken promises by rich countries to 
deliver 100 billion dollars in life-saving funds.

                                Vulnerable countries are rising up with a 
united voice demanding no more delay -- as the seas rise up around them: the 
result of decades of unchecked pollution that they contributed little to.

                                Avaaz is standing shoulder to shoulder with 
them -- speaking truth to power.

                                Now we're bringing the heat to 3 key 
European leaders who can deliver a breakthrough: French President Macron, 
German Chancellor Merkel, and head of the EU Commission von der Leyen. Let's 
show them that people around the world are demanding that they lead with 
courage. Avaaz is one of the only movements that can generate people power 
in real-time to influence the high-stakes talks, so let's use our power to 
push for a climate breakthrough!

                                Despite having a strong track record in the 
negotiations, experts are remarking on how much Europe has been missing in 
action in these last few days. The commitment for providing 100 billion 
dollars collectively to help the most vulnerable countries was agreed 12 
years ago, and it still has not been met even past the deadline of 2020.

                                Vulnerable countries ravaged by climate 
disasters and Covid (with rampant vaccine inequity) have a right to be 
angry. Avaaz has been a loud voice standing in solidarity with them over the 
past weeks calling for an end to climate betrayal.

                                Now we're in the final stretch, with hours 
to go to the end of the summit. Whatever countries agree could accelerate 
progress towards an inevitable decarbonized future, or breach trust and 
undermine future collaboration. Finance is key -- let's make some noise and 
hold those who can make a difference to account.

                                This week our actions also pressured US 
leaders like President Obama (who originally committed the $100B) and 
President Biden (who is now falling short on delivering it), racking up 
major media coverage across The New York Times, BBC, and Reuters. The 
climate crisis can feel too big sometimes, but there is always something we 
can do -- what matters is that we stand on the side of truth and justice, 
and be proud of how we show up together.

                                With hope and determination,

                                Risalat, Mike, Nax, Daniel, Oscar, and the
