*[Enwl-eng] There is no climate justice without us all

climate crisis right to them.
Hi,

The 26th annual climate talks (COP26) are set to start on 31 October. These 
talks have always been less easy for people from developing countries to 
access. Many people won't make it to the table at all this year -- even more 
than usual, because of Covid travel restrictions, and UK government’s 
mishandling of the logistics, and global unequal access to Covid vaccines.

But the people facing serious climate impacts already are exactly who the UN 
delegates should be listening to while they negotiate climate action!

As COP26 gets started, we want to make sure all the COP participants hear 
something they won’t forget: the real voices of people dealing with global 
heating right now.

We’re putting together an audio message of people across the world demanding 
leaders at COP stop funding fossil fuels, pay what they owe for climate 
finance, and fund a just transition everywhere. We plan to play these 
messages to delegates throughout the conference. Whenever they lose sight of 
the priorities, we’ll make sure they hear them directly from you. Your voice 
could make a real difference.

We’re on a tight deadline. Recording your message will take no more than 5 
minutes – but we need it by Saturday 30 October.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Prepare your message to the delegates attending the climate talks
Start with a pen and paper, and sketch out what you want your message to 
say.

  a.. You can address a specific country, all heads of states or 
governments, all delegates, or just start telling your story.
  b.. You can tell them how the climate crisis has affected you or your 
loved ones; what your motivation is for engaging in the climate movement; 
and especially, what a just, fair future means for you and your community.
  c.. You can tell them to act urgently to stop funding fossil fuels (like 
we have with this petition), or tell them how the climate crisis has 
impacted your life already.
Keep your message short – two or three sentences is enough! Remember that we 
need many different voices to make this work.

2. Practice your message
Read out your message once or twice to make sure it’s clear and strong. You 
can time yourself to make sure you keep it short.

3. When you’re ready: click this link to open a blank WhatsApp message 
addressed to us!
Record your message, or ask a friend to help you record it. We need a good 
mix of audio and video messages for this to work – take your pick!

To record a video: hold your phone in landscape mode (horizontally). Look 
directly into the camera. Make sure you’re in a quiet spot – if you’re 
outdoors, watch out for wind or traffic noise. Speak clearly.

To record an audio message: hold your phone or microphone close to your 
mouth. Speak clearly, and make sure there’s no loud background noise around 
you.

Please record your message in any language you are most comfortable speaking 
in.

4. Send in your message (before Saturday 30 October)
Send us your audio or video message via WhatsApp!

If you prefer, you can also send your video or audio message to us via email 
at videos at 350.org

(Please note: We won’t be able to answer questions that come to us via 
WhatsApp, but if you email us with your query, we’ll do our best to 
respond.)

Thank you so much for taking part and helping get our collective voices 
heard!

P.S. This weekend, activists in Europe, the US and the Pacific will be 
taking action on the streets to increase the pressure on leaders to stop 
financing fossil fuels at these climate talks. Your voice message will help 
support their work on the ground, which you can follow using the 
#EndFossilFinance hashtag on all social media platforms.
