Make Climate Polluters Pay

IMG_1959-1

Frontline communities are paying for a crisis they didn’t create. It’s time the biggest polluters are held accountable.

Across South Asia, the climate crisis is no longer a distant threat. Floods, cyclones, landslides, and rising seas are destroying lives and livelihoods, especially in countries that contributed the least to global emissions.

In Sri Lanka, Cyclone Ditwah has devastated communities, killing hundreds, displacing thousands, and pushing families already struggling into deeper loss. This is not a natural disaster alone, it is the result of a climate crisis fuelled by decades of fossil fuel extraction and profit.

Since the Paris Agreement in 2016, the carbon emissions of just five major oil and gas companies have caused an estimated USD 5.36 trillion in global climate damages. That is nearly 7,000 times more than what governments have pledged so far to the UN Loss and Damage Fund.

Across South Asia, the economic cost of extreme weather since 2015 has run into billions of dollars, while frontline communities are left to cope with little support.

This is climate injustice.

We’re demanding that the biggest fossil fuel polluters pay for the damage they have caused, through polluter-funded Loss and Damage finance that is community-led and accessible to those most impacted.

Join the call to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable.
