John,
|
| |
|
Our mantra at 350.org is fierce optimism.
|
| |
|
In my first year here, I’ve seen that optimism come alive in our teams, activists, and supporters like you. Even in a year of extraordinary challenges, I knew our movement would rise to meet each one.
|
| |
|
Because of the groundwork our movement laid a decade ago as part of the Paris Agreement, we’ve built momentum year by year, and 2025 was no exception.
|
| |
|
Across the world, people are joining our calls to reject fossil fuels. Solar and wind are now the cheapest form of new power in most countries, and if governments fail to provide it, communities are building their own solutions. Pipelines have been stopped. Coal plants have been cancelled and shut down. The divestment movement, started by 350.org, has seen trillions of dollars diverted from the fossil fuel industry.
|
| |
|
Now, in 2026, we need to meet the moment again — with courage and optimism. Because there isn’t time to wait.
|
| |
|
People are losing their homes, livelihoods, and lives to climate disasters. Future generations stand to inherit decimated oceans where vibrant life once thrived. Entire countries could sink beneath rising seas. Glaciers and rainforests — the foundations of life on Earth — are slipping away.
|
| |
|
And while climate disasters cost more than $320 billion last year, fossil fuel companies didn’t pay a penny of it. They continue to profit even as communities are left to bear the devastation.
|
| |
|
| |
|
One of our highest priorities in 2026 is making big polluters pay for the climate crisis. People everywhere are pushing back right now against the billionaire class that is propped up by fossil fuel handouts. This is the moment to harness that energy and demand real change.
|
| |
|
The work ahead will not be easy and we must be swift in our collective action. So I urge you to stand with us in 2026. Our future is still unwritten. And together, we have the power to write one rooted in justice and hope. We don’t have another decade, though. The time for action is now.
|
| |
|
With fierce optimism,
|
| |
