48 Hours left: Save Rio, Save the Planet
Enter your email address:
Now let's flood our Heads of State with phone calls asking them to act urgently to end fossil fuel subsidies. Choose your country from the drop down menu above, then post a comment to the right!
Wrong information? Email callin-errors@avaaz.org to let the staff know.
Tips for your call:
1. I'm calling to ask you to act urgently: the Rio+20 Earth Summit is on the verge of collapse and only bold leadership can save it.
2. I ask you to urgently strengthen Rio before we're locked into a weak deal. Countries like New Zealand, Mexico and Switzerland are still working to get a better outcome. Please join them in pushing for a stronger commitment to end polluter payments by 2015, putting this money to work on a cleaner, greener future, and pushing other governments to do the same.
3. Ending fossil fuel subsidies is the number one priority for the Rio summit. Two-thirds of the people around the world who responded to a UN poll said that fossil fuel subsidies should be the top agenda item for discussions by Heads of State.
4. The current agreement would protect almost one trillion dollars of government subsidies going straight to the fossil fuel companies destroying our planet. An outcome from Rio that favours polluters over people is a failure.
We only have two days until the end of the summit. The more people join this campaign, the more powerful our call will be -- help spread the word using the tools below.
