This is a pivotal year for the United Nations Paris Agreement on climate change—and for the planet.

In December 2018, government delegates from around the world will meet to decide how to implement the Paris Agreement.

But already, powerful forces are aligning to block progress at the climate talks:

• Big polluters, which have profited enormously from driving the climate crisis, and
• Powerful countries with the greatest historical share of emissions, like the U.S., that have a shameful history of advancing Big Polluters' agenda.

Recently, the world’s leading climate scientists warned that we have only 12 years to achieve the massive transformation needed to avoid the worst effects of climate change. If governments don’t agree on strong guidelines for the Paris Agreement this year, our next chance won’t be until 2023. That’s far too late for millions of people around the world, many of whom are already experiencing climate change’s devastation.

So right now, please click "Add Your Name" on the right and help us demonstrate a groundswell of support for the People’s Demands for Climate Justice -- a joint global call to government delegates demanding that this year’s climate talks actually lead to meaningful, just climate solutions.

These demands have been shaped by people’s movements around the world that are directly experiencing climate change’s impacts. We need to show that people everywhere, including in the U.S., widely echo and support these demands.

Please add your name now to demonstrate your support -- and to ensure that the Paris Agreement isn’t weakened in the name of Big Polluters’ profits, but instead becomes a powerful force for ensuring our survival, advancing climate justice, and righting historical wrongs.
