If you spill someone’s drink, you buy them another; if you break someone's window, you pay to fix it.

However, every time a typhoon rips through the countryside, every time water floods a home, every time extreme heat drives up energy bills and prices of basic commodities  – we pay the price.

The oil, coal, and gas corporations who fueled the extreme weather? They pay… NOTHING.

For decades, oil, coal, and gas corporations have raked in trillions while making the world more dangerous – speeding up sea level rise and coral bleaching while supercharging typhoons, floods, storm surges, and deadly heat waves. Instead of taking responsibility, they have covered it up and lied to us - as far back as the 1950s.

This isn’t just unfair – it’s outrageous. 

By making climate polluters pay, we can:

1. 1. Fund emergency services for people during climate disasters; equip first responders to respond to escalating storm surges, floods and landslides.
   2. Prioritize fairness: Ensure people living in the greatest poverty, with least responsibility for causing the climate crisis, are provided relief, the means to rebuild, and aren’t left paying the bill.
   3. Make communities climate-ready: Strengthen homes and city infrastructure - roads, rail and utilities - to better withstand extreme weather. 

Together, we can create a future where communities around the world are safe, our infrastructure is resilient, and our emergency services are prepared.
