The climate crisis is here and now, wrecking the lives and livelihoods of millions of people from Aotearoa to the Pacific, and around the world.
Every day, the devastating impacts of climate change are being felt, but not equally. People facing poverty, who did the least to cause the crisis, are suffering the most. Discrimination means that it’s often women who pay the highest price, while young people everywhere are seeing their futures stolen. All the while the richest people and corporations are plundering the planet and polluting for profit.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. A more equal and sustainable world is possible. One where all of us who are at risk from the climate crisis have what we need to survive extreme weather and build a better future.
The biggest polluters, who are raking in record profits and amassing huge fortunes, must pay for the climate crisis they are creating and the costs of building a fairer future. We can raise the trillions of dollars needed to tackle the climate crisis if we make rich polluters pay!
