To UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and leaders of the G7 and G20:

The latest message from the International Energy Agency is crystal clear -- no new coal, oil, and gas. Keep it in the ground! That means, no more coal mines, licensing of oil and gas developments, or fossil fuel subsidies. We call on you to shift those billions immediately into the rapid and just transition to 100% clean energy. That’s the only way to keep global temperature rise to 1.5˚C and leave no one behind.

Boris Johnson: keep fossil fuels in the ground!​​​​
Something incredible just happened...

What we’ve been saying for years -- asking governments to keep fossil fuels in the ground, just got echoed by the world’s most influential energy agency! At the request of the UK government. Right before key meetings with world leaders, that the UK is hosting!

But Boris Johnson’s government is pursuing new oil and gas projects in the North Sea, and even considering a new coal mine!

If he’s serious about becoming a climate leader, he needs to act now, cancel these projects, and rally other leaders in the G7 and beyond to follow the report’s urgent findings. No new fossil fuels, period! That’s the only way to stave off climate catastrophe.

This is BoJo’s big test. Let’s raise a massive call and hold his feet to the fire -- once we reach a million voices, Avaaz will challenge him to follow through with a hard-hitting full page ad right as he hosts the G7 heads of state meeting.
