Hours to boost EU Climate Ambition -- Add your voice! 

YouTube detox the algo
In hours the EU will publish a ground-breaking climate law to make Europe the first continent legally bound to zero carbon emissions. It's amazing -- but giant polluting companies and coal-reliant countries are fighting to squash ambition .

And one man is in the middle: Frans Timmermans , Executive Vice-President of the European Commission.

The EU's bold climate plan rests in his hands: Will he rise as a global champion, or crumble under the pressure -- this week is critical, and he needs to feel the public right behind him.

That's us!

Let's take a minute to lift him up with massive public backing on social media -- Avaaz will post some of our messages on a giant wall right outside the EU Council, just as Ministers meet to discuss the climate crisis. Send a personal message now! 

CONTACT Frans Timmermans

Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal
Frans Timmermans

Frans Timmermans is a father of four and he's the EU's climate boss, in charge of increasing ambition, the Green Deal and a bold new climate law.

He cares deeply about the climate crisis, and especially its impact on humanity. He also fights for social welfare and gender equality. He's not scared to show emotions. He loves Bruce Springsteen, is a major football fan, and speaks 6 languages. 

Tips for your tweet:

  • Let's offer hope and inspiration, encouragement not angry demands.

  • Make your point -- something like:
    The climate emergency demands urgent action from us all; Timmermans can lead with ambitious 2030 emissions reductions, as a pathway to net zero in 2050. #ItsTime 

  • For an extra touch, include a photo of yourself or something that really matters to you -- and say why.
