Extreme energy scarcity

Many communities across the Amazon in Latin America are experiencing extreme energy scarcity.

Pamela - Many communities across the Amazon in Latin America are experiencing extreme energy scarcity. They lack reliable electricity to heat water and cool their homes, pump clean water to their communities, and store life-saving medications in refrigerators. And the unreliable energy that they can access comes from a system designed to prioritize fossil fuel companies and multi-millionaires, and not the communities and the planet. Enough is enough. Do you agree that we need to transition off of fossil fuels and invest in community-owned renewable energy projects that deliver reliable energy in Latin America and all over the world? If the answer is yes, please add your name to stand in solidarity with the communities who are fighting back. The devastation caused by the fossil fuel industry in Latin America is a reality faced by communities all over the Global South. Climate activists in Africa and Asia are also facing extreme energy scarcity while their communities are being destroyed by fossil fuel exploration. This is a global crisis that requires a global solution. That is why activists all over the world — from Latin America to Africa — are standing up to the fossil fuel industry by mobilizing communities and leaders to create their own sources of energy and take their future — and their power — into their own hands. Please add your name today to stand in solidarity with climate activists across Latin America, Africa, and around the planet. Thank you for standing in solidarity with the climate activists who are helping build a brighter future for all. In solidarity, M.
