To: Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., President of the Republic of the Philippines

TAKE LEGAL AND POLICY ACTION, SUPPORT CLIMATE IMPACTED COMMUNITIES;
MAKE CORPORATE CLIMATE POLLUTERS PAY!

Cover-1
We call on President Marcos to take courageous, decisive climate action on behalf of Filipinos suffering under the climate crisis.

By signing,
  1. You are throwing the power of your voice in support of communities taking fossil fuel companies to court in their Global North headquarters, changing the dynamics of the fight against corporate impunity.

  2. You are calling on the President to:
    • Demand for Congress to pass of the Climate Accountability (CLIMA) Bill

      The CLIMA Bill is proposed landmark legislation that seeks to make carbon majors accountable for climate harms, and creates a dedicated fund for communities for climate loss and damage.

    • Support communities that are filing cases against carbon majors

       Filipino communities are taking climate accountability into their own hands by filing cases against carbon majors. The President must publicly declare his support for their efforts.

    • Sue the carbon majors
       
      The President must start the process of litigating carbon majors for climate impact damages to the Filipino people.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO MAKE POLLUTING CORPORATIONS PAY?

Filipinos are among the least responsible for the climate crisis, and yet, we constantly bear the brunt of climate impacts. Filipino communities are forced repeatedly to foot the bill when our farms, roads, schools, and homes are flooded and destroyed.

Meanwhile, the most responsible for the climate crisis—large oil, coal, and gas corporations—continue to pollute, exacerbating the climate crisis while raking in billions of dollars in profit. This is unjust and immoral. Fossil fuel companies must pay their climate debt: give money to climate impacted communities to compensate for the losses and damages—both economic and non-economic—experienced by people.

Protect people’s health • Fund services • Rebuild homes • Provide safety nets • Make communities climate-ready • Make polluters pay
