USA: Petition calls on Obama to release funds to aid climate mitigation & adaptation before leaving office

Donald Trump plans to do everything he can to reverse progress on climate change…

But there’s one thing President Obama can do before he leaves office that Trump cannot undo.

The U.S. has promised to pay $3 billion into a fund that will help people in Global South…If Obama releases that money before he leaves office, it will have a huge impact on the lives of billions of people around the world -- and Trump won’t be able to touch it.

Donald Trump has made clear he plans to end funding for climate progress. But Obama can release the money the U.S. has pledged right now -- and send a strong message to the rest of the world that progress on climate change must continue...

Add your name to tell Obama: Money is a critical component of securing global climate justice. Make good on your pledge before the climate denier takes the White House!
