Dear friends,
Humanity is failing to stop the climate crisis. It's now beyond urgent -- the planet is screaming for help.
Right now world leaders are meeting for historic climate talks -- but pledges without real action won't cut it anymore. We need bold, visionary leaders to finally do what's needed to pull us back from the abyss.
I'll be at the talks with inspiring youth leaders like Vanessa Nakate and Dominika Lasota. We'll personally meet dozens of governments -- it's the perfect opportunity to deliver a giant call for urgent action. Join us now: add your name with one click and pass this on.
To world leaders,
"Betrayal."
That's how young people around the world describe our governments' failure to cut carbon emissions. And it's no surprise.
We are catastrophically far from the crucial goal of 1.5°C, and yet governments everywhere are still accelerating the crisis, spending billions on fossil fuels.
This is not a drill. It's code red for the Earth. Millions will suffer as our planet is devastated -- a terrifying future that will be created, or avoided, by the decisions you make. You have the power to decide.
As citizens across the planet, we urge you to face up to the climate emergency. Not next year. Not next month. Now:
Keep the precious goal of 1.5°C alive with immediate, drastic, annual emission reductions unlike anything the world has ever seen.
End all fossil fuel investments, subsidies, and new projects immediately, and stop new exploration and extraction.
End 'creative' carbon accounting by publishing total emissions for all consumption indices, supply chains, international aviation and shipping, and the burning of biomass.
Deliver the $100bn promised to the most vulnerable countries, with additional funds for climate disasters.
Enact climate policies to protect workers and the most vulnerable, and reduce all forms of inequality.
We can still do this. There is still time to avoid the worst consequences if we are prepared to change. It will take determined, visionary leadership. And it will take immense courage -- but know that when you rise, billions will be right behind you.
It can feel incredibly hard to keep hope alive in the face of inaction. But my hope lies in people -- in the millions of us who are rising to save the future. It lies in our marches, in our dogged determination to keep fighting, and in our trembling voices as we speak truth to power. My hope is rooted in action and fuelled by a love for humanity and our most beautiful earth. It's what keeps me absolutely convinced that we can do this. And we must do this. Together.
With fierce hope,

With fierce hope,  Greta from Sweden, with Vanessa from Uganda, Dominika from Poland, Mitzi from the Philippines, youth activists across the world, 亲爱的朋友们， 人类未能阻止气候危机。 现在已经迫在眉睫了——这个星球正在呼救。 现在世界各国领导人正在举行历史性的气候谈判——但没有实际行动的承诺将不再有效。 我们需要大胆、有远见的领导者，最终做出将我们从深渊中拉回来所需的一切。 我将与像 Vanessa Nakate 和 Dominika Lasota 这样鼓舞人心的青年领袖进行会谈。 我们将亲自会见数十个政府——这是发出紧急行动的巨大呼吁的绝佳机会。 立即加入我们：一键添加您的姓名并传递。 对世界领导人来说， “背叛。” 这就是世界各地的年轻人对我们政府未能减少碳排放的描述。 这并不奇怪。 我们距离 1.5°C 的关键目标非常遥远，但世界各地的政府仍在加速危机，在化石燃料上花费了数十亿美元。 这不是演习。 地球的代码是红色的。 随着我们的星球被摧毁，数百万人将受苦——一个可怕的未来将通过你做出的决定来创造或避免。 你有决定的权力。 作为地球上的公民，我们敦促您正视气候紧急情况。 不是明年。 下个月不行。 现在： 保持 1.5°C 的宝贵目标，立即、大幅度、每年减少排放量，这是世界上前所未有的。 立即停止所有化石燃料投资、补贴和新项目，并停止新的勘探和开采。 通过发布所有消费指数、供应链、国际航空和航运以及生物质燃烧的总排放量，结束“创造性”碳核算。 向最脆弱的国家兑现承诺的 1000 亿美元，并为气候灾害提供额外资金。 制定气候政策以保护工人和最弱势群体，并减少一切形式的不平等。 我们仍然可以做到这一点。 如果我们准备改变，还有时间避免最坏的后果。 这需要坚定的、有远见的领导。 这需要巨大的勇气——但要知道，当你崛起时，数十亿人就在你身后。 面对无所作为，保持希望的感觉非常困难。 但我的希望寄托在人们身上——寄托在我们数百万奋起拯救未来的人们身上。 它存在于我们的游行中，存在于我们继续战斗的顽强决心中，以及在我们向权力说出真相时我们颤抖的声音中。 我的希望植根于行动，并以对人类和我们最美丽的地球的爱为动力。 这就是让我绝对相信我们可以做到这一点的原因。 我们必须这样做。 一起。 怀着强烈的希望， 来自瑞典的 Greta，来自乌干达的 Vanessa，来自波兰的 Dominika，来自菲律宾的 Mitzi，世界各地的青年活动家， |
