> In 67 days, President Trump could go to war with climate action. But
> governments are at their annual climate summit right now. If we act fast, we
> could get them to lock in progress before he can destroy everything we worked
> for.
> 
> Germany, China, India, Brazil, the climate vulnerable countries, and others
> are reasserting their commitment to the Paris climate deal. But if enough of
> us call for it we could get them to urgently lock in the way to zero climate
> pollution, demand the US keeps its Paris promise, and commit to advance faster
> towards climate solutions that Trump won't be able to stop.
> 
> Let's ask them to make an unequivocal statement for climate action, regardless
> of what Trump does. Avaaz has staff inside the summit -- let's make this the
> biggest public call ever to show we will fight like hell for everything we
> love -- it'll be delivered directly to governments.

> Trump has called climate change a hoax, dismissed the Paris agreement, and

> But over 100 countries have signed up and Paris is already in force. Now the
> world's most vulnerable countries are leading the charge for urgent climate
> action. Yesterday, Germany announced a bold new plan to radically cut carbon
> and, crucially, China is shutting down coal and breaking records on renewable
> energy. India too.

> Trump could pull the US out of the UN climate convention when he comes to
> power -- and as the world’s largest per capita emitter, that will have huge
> impact not only on the people of the US, but on all of us. But such a
> withdrawal is a bureaucratic nightmare that could take years. If enough of us
> join together now with a roar of NO! we can find ways to stop it, and ensure
> the rest of the world speeds up if the US slows down.
> 
> We simply can't let this ignorant billionaire destroy the only path to save
> our planet. Let's go all out now to keep the world on track when Trump takes
> office.

> global cooperation is gone. This week we must act.
