To German Chancellor Angela Merkel and all world leaders:

As citizens around the world, we call on you bring a swift end to coal. Coal is the single greatest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, drives acid rain and pollutes our air. Announce an end date for coal now, in line with the world’s commitments to stop dangerous climate change.

World Leaders: Stop Burning Coal
Coal is THE worst energy source on the planet. It’s the single biggest contributor to climate change and it kills nearly a million people every year.

And right now we have a chance to shut it down once and for all.

A major climate summit starts in days. The UK and Canada have set final phase-out dates for coal and are trying to rally dozens of other countries to join. The real prize is Germany -- one of the biggest coal countries in the world, and the major domino for European climate decisions.

Everything is lined up -- the summit is in Germany, and climate champion Angela Merkel just won a new term as Chancellor. All that’s missing is a final public push -- so let’s deliver! When a million sign, Avaaz will deliver our names to the summit with a massive anti-coal march, then get right in the room and make it happen. Add your name.
