Did you know that just 32 fossil fuel companies created half of the world's carbon pollution in 2024? Thirty-two companies.
That's it. While families suffer through deadly heatwaves, floods, fires, and droughts, a tiny group of powerful corporations keeps pumping out pollution, raking in profits while the world is left to pay for the damage.Companies like Saudi Aramco and ExxonMobil are among the worst offenders. To put that into context, if Saudi Aramco "were a country, [it] would be the
world's fifth biggest carbon polluter, just behind Russia."
These companies know exactly what they are doing. They have been
warned for decades that these emission levels are unsustainable and deadly. And still, they expand oil and gas production while communities drown, burn, and bake in record heat.
This is not an accident. It is a choice.
And it is costing lives.The world already agreed under the Paris climate deal that we must cut emissions fast. But emissions are still rising. Meanwhile, island nations are disappearing as sea levels rise, farmers are losing crops, and children are breathing toxic air. It is beyond unfair.
The people causing the crisis are not the ones paying the price.Sign the petition to demand that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) hold these companies accountable. The UNFCCC must work with the countries where these fossil fuel giants are based to put strict emissions caps in place and establish climate relief funds that the companies themselves pay.
When climate disasters strike -- when floods wash away homes or heatwaves kill thousands --
there must be money ready to help. Fossil fuel companies must be forced to fund disaster relief collections so communities are not left alone to pick up the pieces.
They created this crisis. They profited from it.
It's time they pay for the damage.Sign the petition to demand emissions caps AND a global climate disaster fund paid for by the fossil fuel industry.
