Stop governments propping up dirty energy11 June 2012
Fossil fuels are driving climate change and failing to provide for billions of people.
- Governments across the world are keeping the world addicted to dirty fossil fuels.
- Together, they're handing over almost a hundred billion dollars of tax payers' money every year to the oil, coal and gas industries.
- This money should be spent helping billions of the world's poorest to access clean, safe and affordable energy, tackling both poverty and climate change.
Rio+20 can fix it
World governments will discuss fossil fuel subsidies and clean energy access at Rio+20. Nick Clegg will be there representing the UK.
Tens of thousands of Friends of the Earth supporters are pushing for clean British energy at home. Now we need Nick Clegg to push for clean global energy everywhere.
Please write to Nick Clegg and join almost a million voices across the world calling for an end to fossil fuel subsidies.
