Hi Sviatoslav,
Are you wondering where your monthly Fossil Free update went? Well, I
have an exciting surprise for you - as the world of climate & energy is
quickly changing, so are we!
Our vision is simple: we want every person to have access to safe,
affordable and reliable energy.
Our belief is straightforward: it’s ordinary people like you and me
who have the power to create a just energy transition.
With this in mind, we are ramping-up our campaigns for renewables that
place communities at the heart of our energy systems, and we want you to
join us. The future of energy is ours to take!
So Sviatoslav, welcome to our very first edition of Our Power
Newsletter. In here, you’ll not just get exclusive insights into our latest
work but also inspiring stories of community energy projects, expert
analysis on climate news, easy-to-understand explanations of complex topics
and plenty of opportunities to get involved!
Enjoy reading, and if you like what you’ve read - tell your friends,
family, colleagues and basically everyone about it. Let’s build Our Power
together!
In solidarity,
Mallika

Movement Updates Discover our latest actions demanding climate
solutions & energy justice
Launching Our Own Power Network
Did you know that communities around the world are reclaiming
their power from the hands of fossil fuel giants by building their own
renewable energy projects? To support them, we’ve just launched the Our Own
Power Network, an international movement of renewable energy champions. Sign
up for our very first Our Own Power Webinar on 1 October where you’ll hear
inspiring stories from members in the Amazon, Africa and the Pacific who are
leading exciting renewable energy projects in their communities.

Making Waves at New York Climate Week
The annual New York Climate Week is the place to push leaders,
from business executives to policymakers, into taking meaningful climate
action. This year, we demanded that COP presidents deliver real commitments
to phase out fossil fuels and scale up renewable energy, putting people over
profits. We urged our leaders to raise the bar on national climate goals (or
NDCs, you can read more on this below). Our movement took to the streets,
pressured banks, amplified Indigenous voices and demanded that wealthy
nations fund the energy transition while protecting environmental defenders.

Spotlighting Vietnam’s Unjust Energy Transition
We received wonderful news that our friend & unjustly detained
Vietnamese climate activist Hoàng Thị Minh Hồng was released from prison on
21 September, 20 months early from her sentence. Our FreeHong campaign
gathered over 9,200 signatures across 55 countries, pressuring officials for
her release. During New York Climate Week, we also held a panel calling out
Vietnam's recent $15.5 billion inter-governmental energy financing deal, the
Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) that excludes civil society
participation, respect for human rights, fair financing mechanisms, and
proven climate solutions.

Where Disability & Climate Meet
Our world is often unforgiving and ableist even without the
climate breakdown. Our exclusive video with climate justice and disability
rights activist Áine Kelly-Costello explains why climate justice cannot be
separated from disability justice. We've also featured footage from the
Disability Justice Project, an amazing global grassroots media network and
hub for documentaries by and about persons with disabilities. See how we can
transform our climate movement to ensure that no one gets left behind:

Climate Jargon Unpack the terms & concepts being used by climate
activists & experts
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)
NDCs are the talk of the town this year, especially around upcoming
international climate summits like the COP29.
What are NDCs: Also known as climate change action plans or climate
goals, NDC’s are self-defined national climate commitments by countries who
joined the Paris Agreement. They lay down a roadmap for each country to do
their part in stopping the climate crisis.
Why are NDCs important: because they detail how countries plan to
reduce emissions, adapt to climate impacts and ensure investments so that
the planet remains liveable for all of us.
When do countries update their NDCs: All countries are expected to
update their NDCs every five years, with better and more ambitious plans.
The last round of NDC updating was in 2020-21 (here are some examples) and
the next round is due very soon, in early 2025. Throughout this year and
beyond, we will keep pushing countries to not only submit good NDCs but to
also turn these plans into reality!
Learn more about what good NDCs look like:

Community Spotlight Be inspired by stories & interviews of real people
who are fighting for a just energy transition
Domangburi’s First Light

In the remote village of Domangburi in north-western Ghana, the lack
of electricity forced the community to rely on firewood, flashlights, and
oil lamps for light. This severely affected students' ability to study and
limited economic opportunities for all. However, a transformation took place
this year. 350 Ghana Reducing Our Carbon (350 GROC), a network of local
youth groups dedicated to mobilizing and empowering young people, alongside
local leaders and volunteers, went to each and every home in the village and
installed solar panels and bulbs—65 in total. They also set up solar street
lights at the local school and market. For the first time, Domangburi has
access to safer, cleaner, and reliable solar energy. The effort and
perseverance of locals will now create opportunities for education, economic
growth, and a brighter future for the whole community for generations to
come.
Discover more about the work of 350 GROC through the words of its
National Coordinator and Ghanian Climate Activist Portia Adu-Mensah.

$2 Trillion
Or USD$2000 billion. That’s the potential amount of money we can raise
if countries globally adopt a wealth tax on the richest 0.5% households just
like Spain did in 2022, according to the U.K based campaign group, Tax
Justice Network.
Their study, published in August this year, estimates potential
revenue for 172 countries from implementing a moderate, progressive tax on
net wealth. If such a tax scheme is adopted, countries could get up to 7%
more money in their national budgets each year!
To put this in context, the money we need to triple renewable energy
by 2030 (a target set last year at the UN Climate Conference, COP28) is $8
trillion of investment in new renewable energy projects and $4 trillion for
grid and storage infrastructure over the next 6 years. Coincidentally, this
amount also works out to be $2 trillion a year on average.
And so the data is crystal clear: if governments tax the ultra-rich,
we can fund the transition to renewable energy!

Your Power Support us in demanding real climate action
Now that we know a bit more about NDCs, we need your help in demanding
more ambitious climate goals from our leaders. These goals must stop the
worst effects of global heating and commit to just solutions to the crisis.
Countries’ 2025 NDCs should clearly commit to a real renewable energy goal
following principles of justice while ensuring a fossil fuel phase out.

State:
