Tuvalu

Dear friends, I'm writing to you with an urgent message as the Prime Minister of Tuvalu: Our country is sinking! My homeland could be one of the first nations to be wiped off the map due to climate change. But we won't give up. We will fight! In a few hours, I'm addressing the climate summit in Egypt to call for a new global treaty to phase out fossil fuels and help vulnerable countries cope with climate devastation. Join my urgent call to world leaders now!

Dear friends, I'm writing to you with an urgent message as the Prime Minister of Tuvalu: Our country is sinking! My homeland could be one of the first nations to be wiped off the map due to climate change. But we won't give up. We will fight! In a few hours, I'm addressing the climate summit in Egypt to call for a new global treaty to phase out fossil fuels and help vulnerable countries cope with climate devastation. Join my urgent call to world leaders now! JOIN NOW Dear world leaders at the COP, Climate change is drowning the Pacific Islands. The world's addiction to oil, gas and coal threatens to swallow our lands under the warming seas – inch by inch. But we will not stand by as our home is wiped from the map! So we're uniting with a hundred Nobel laureates and thousands of scientists worldwide to urge world leaders to join the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to manage a just transition away from fossil fuels. The time has come to make peace with the planet. To deliver vulnerable nations the long overdue funding needed to cope with the loss and damage incurred from climate disasters and to make polluters pay. They say that one day, the oceans will swallow the place we call home. But I promise you this: until that day comes, we will keep fighting. Because if we can save our islands, we can save the world.
