Trump is targeting Vanuatu, for trying to protect all of us from climate catastrophe. The tiny Pacific island nation is bringing a landmark global climate resolution to a vote at the UN in just a few weeks, but the US is pushing them to withdraw. If we overcome Trump’s opposition, this could become a massive milestone in the fight for the safe, liveable future we all deserve. Sign now, and our allies will bring our call straight to key negotiators at the UN in New York: Trump is on the rampage again – trying to force governments to reject plans for action against the climate crisis. Communities across the globe are already facing the consequences of climate breakdown – from floods to fires. But for the tiny island nation of Vanuatu the stakes are even higher: it will be wiped from the map unless we stop burning fossil fuels. So they took a case to the world's highest court, which ruled governments have a legal responsibility to act against climate change. Now the UN could pass a resolution to turn the ruling into real global action. Governments are voting in just a few weeks – but Trump is putting huge pressure on them to reject the plan. A massive show of public support could make the difference. Sign now to help tip the vote:

Dear friends,

Trump is on the rampage again – trying to force governments to reject plans for action against the climate crisis.
Communities across the globe are already facing the consequences of climate breakdown – from floods to fires. But for the tiny island nation of Vanuatu the stakes are even higher: it will be wiped from the map unless we stop burning fossil fuels.
So they took a case to the world's highest court, which ruled governments have a legal responsibility to act against climate change. Now the UN could pass a resolution to turn the ruling into real global action.

Imagine a world where we all breathe clean air and swim in the rivers running through our towns. Where farmers across the globe grow food in healthy soil, communities are powered by their own clean energy, and people everywhere are supported by good green jobs. Vanuatu’s resolution could become a key stepping stone to get us there!
It is perhaps the most promising international move for climate this decade. If our governments vote it in, it can fuel domestic climate litigation, strengthen globally coordinated action, and shift the financial burden of climate catastrophes from normal people, onto polluters.
So let’s come together to back up Vanuatu’s brave fight. If enough of us join, we’ll work with partners to deliver our call straight to decision makers ahead of the vote:

The climate crisis is closer than we thought to a point of no return, beyond which runaway global heating can no longer be stopped. But this is our moment to fight for the safe, fair, 100% fossil-free future we know is possible. Let’s unite!
With hope and determination,
Alice, Bert, Nate, Pascal, Antonia, and the whole Avaaz team
