Trillions in Profit. Decades of Deception.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For over 70 years, fossil fuel companies have knowingly driven the climate crisis \u2014 while raking in trillions and lying to the public. They supercharged extreme weather \u2014 and then lied about it.
In 2024 alone<\/strong>, just five oil & gas giants<\/strong> made $100+ billion<\/strong> in profit, even as the world faced its hottest year on record<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Communities Pay the Price<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

From Kathmandu to Alexandria to the Americas, extreme floods, wildfires, and heatwaves are devastating lives. Why are those least responsible forced to bear the cost \u2014 while polluters keep profiting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t just unfair.
It\u2019s a failure of justice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Shift the Burden \u2014 From People to Polluters<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re calling for real accountability<\/strong>.
The Polluters Pay Pact<\/strong> demands that the corporations and billionaires behind climate chaos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Pay for the damage they\u2019ve caused<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Stop passing the cost to communities<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Support a just, sustainable future<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
    \n

    Why the Polluters Pay Pact Matters<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    This is more than a petition.
    It\u2019s a global movement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Uniting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Climate-impacted communities<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Youth leaders & frontline responders<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Humanitarians, economists & advocates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      We\u2019re building pressure on governments to end fossil fuel impunity<\/strong> \u2014 and put people before polluters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

      By making polluters pay, we can:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Protect people\u2019s health: <\/strong>Fund emergency services to help people during climate disasters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Prioritising fairness:<\/strong> <\/strong>Ensure <\/strong>people living in the greatest poverty, with least responsibility for causing the climate crisis, will be supported with the revenues raised.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Equip first responders: <\/strong>Provide the tools and resources needed to respond to escalating wildfires, floods and heatwaves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Make homes and infrastructure climate-ready: <\/strong>Strengthen homes and city infrastructure –  roads, rail and utilities – to better withstand extreme weather.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Provide a financial safety net: <\/strong>Ensure disaster relief and rebuilding efforts are funded so families aren\u2019t left paying the bill.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
