*[Enwl-eng] URGENT: Lula’s last chance

[ecology]

Protect the planet or bow down to Big Oil?



                        Brazil’s President Lula, once a climate champion, 
has been opening up the Amazon for oil drilling.

                        In just months, he’ll be hosting make or break 
climate talks – let’s push Lula to seize this chance to protect nature and 
the climate.

            When Lula took office, he promised zero deforestation in the 
Amazon and zero greenhouse gas emissions.

            Yet he’s caved into lobbying from oil companies, opening up the 
Amazon basin for drilling and allowing the construction of a mega-highway 
that will cut through miles of precious rainforest.

            But Lula still has a last chance to make good on his promises. 
In just over 100 days, Brazil will host the global climate talks — and it’s 
a pivotal moment for Lula’s legacy, Brazil and the planet.

            To act boldly, to take on powerful corporate interests - oil, 
agriculture, mining - Lula needs the full force of a global movement behind 
him. Will you join the call:

            Lula: it's your last chance — protect nature and the climate

            Lula wants to secure Brazil’s economic future for generations to 
come — but the future doesn’t lie with companies driving the climate crisis. 
It lies in a just and sustainable transition that lifts people up without 
tearing nature down.

            Scientists warn that we’ll exceed the 1.5 degree climate target 
in two years. The window to stop dangerous climate change is closing 
rapidly. This moment was made for a bold and courageous leader.

            Lula’s legacy must be to respect Indigenous people and lands, 
halt drilling and mining and stop the destruction of the Amazon. Lula must 
show the rest of the world how it’s done — ushering in a just and equitable 
transition, where everyone lives with dignity and security.

            Will you add your name and demand Lula delivers?

            Lula, the people and planet are counting on you — it’s time to 
show the world how climate leadership is done.

            We’ve come together before to achieve the seemingly impossible 
task of taking on corporate giants — like when we forced some of the world’s 
biggest insurance companies to stop bankrolling Total’s East African oil 
pipeline. Let’s show Lula we have his back as he stands up to corporate 
power again.
