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.

John,

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:

[ [link removed] ]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?

[ [link removed] ]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.
