To keep funding fossil fuels means to knowingly bankroll a climate disaster. 
At the UN Climate talks, we need the world's richest countries to step up 
their climate finance game right now.
Hi,

My name is Cansın, I’m a 350.org team member, and I’m getting ready to 
travel to Glasgow in Scotland for the 26th UN Climate Summit at the end of 
October.

This journey has taken longer than usual to start, because the crucial 
climate talks were postponed last year as the pandemic raged across the 
world. But the climate movement is ready to step up and be heard.

I hope you’ll join me on this journey through the climate summit. We’ll be 
sharing on the ground updates from the climate movement’s push for justice 
in this complex process, as well as ways you can support the fight to stay 
below 1.5 degrees, no matter where you are in the world.

Today, we’re sending a message to leaders of the US, UK and EU to fund a 
just transition everywhere. Sign the petition now and jump on this action 
train to Glasgow and beyond.

Right now - in the midst of unfathomable climate disasters – the fossil fuel 
industry is on track to have a record-profit year [1]. I have grieved over 
the climate impacts we have seen for years around the world. But this year, 
it was different. The climate crisis was knocking on my doorstep as hundreds 
of wildfires raged across my home country in Turkey. Climate impacts will 
not simply go away. And we will not back down from the fossil fuel industry 
that is causing them.

Why are we travelling when the pandemic is still going on? Because it’s 
particularly important for less powerful countries who are most impacted by 
climate change to band together in person at the climate talks to get their 
voices heard. All too often these voices get sidelined or silenced in global 
decision-making spaces – and we cannot let this happen here.

We’re travelling to Glasgow with the mission to bring the people to the 
front, and make sure the voices of the most impacted people are heard. So 
many can’t be here in person, but you can sign this petition to put more 
weight behind these critical demands, wherever you are.

To keep funding fossil fuels means to knowingly bankroll a climate disaster. 
We need the world's richest countries like the United States, United 
Kingdom, and the European Union to step up their climate finance game right 
now: stop funding fossil fuels, invest in solutions to the climate crisis 
instead, everywhere in the world.

      Sign the petition now

I said this is a journey because this climate summit won’t magically solve 
the climate crisis, but pledges made here, and —importantly— people power 
unleashed here can take a critical step towards ending the fossil fuel era 
once and for all.

Together, with the pressure on the streets and online, we will make banks 
and governments start moving at the scale and speed necessary to create the 
change we need.

I’ll send more updates soon.

In solidarity,

Cansin for the 350.org team
