Dear MoveOn member,
"A code red for humanity." That's what the United Nations is calling its new, landmark environmental report—the most definitive scientific report ever on the climate crisis.1
The world's top climate scientists came together in the report to warn that we're dangerously close to running out of time to stop the worst effects of climate change—but the report shows that we still can protect the future of our planet if we come together and take action right now.
To intensify the pressure on our leaders to take bold and immediate action, MoveOn just printed a big batch of these "Code Red for Humanity" stickers, and we are giving them away for FREE while supplies last.
Andra, the UN's watershed report says that the climate crisis is dangerously close to spiraling out of control, with deadly heat waves, gargantuan hurricanes, and massive wildfires expected to become more severe and more frequent.2
No person on Earth will be spared the catastrophic consequences of the climate crisis if we don't act immediately to end our dependence on fossil fuels. But the most devastating impacts will hit poorer countries, as well as marginalized communities in the United States and other wealthy nations.
Scientists say Madagascar—where 75% of people live on less than $1.90 per day—is on the brink of experiencing the world's first "climate change famine."3 Tens of thousands of people in the country, who have done almost nothing to contribute to the climate crisis, are already suffering catastrophic levels of hunger and food insecurity after four years without rain.4
And in Tennessee, a record-breaking flood earlier this week took the lives of 18 people and destroyed nearly 300 homes, most of them in a low-income housing area.5,6
