# TO ALL G20 LEADERS:

Just Energy Transition Now!

Stop promoting false solutions to the climate crisis

[SIGN THE PETITION](#petition)

As the climate crisis caused by the burning of fossil fuels intensifies, G20 member countries are convening in Bali, Indonesia for its 17th annual summit this November 15-16, 2022.

**G20 is a global and multilateral cooperation between 19 countries and the European Union (EU).** This Group of 20 represents 60% of the global population, 75% of the global market, and 80% of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP).

These member countries are also known to be [most responsible for the climate crisis](https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-which-countries-are-historically-responsible-for-climate-change/). Adding fuel to the fire, between 2015 and 2021, the G20 [**funneled over US $3.3 trillion into the fossil fuel industry.**](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jul/20/g20-states-subsidised-fossil-fuels-2015-coal-oil-gas-cliamte-crisis) We know that these countries’ carbon emissions make up 75% of the global total. G20 countries also enable disastrous fossil fuel projects such as the [**East African Crude Oil Pipeline**](https://www.inclusivedevelopment.net/pipelines/world-banks-back-door-support-for-east-african-oil-pipeline-imperils-the-planet-complaint-alleges/), the [**Matarbari coal plant**](https://asiatimes.com/2021/11/time-for-japan-to-stop-funding-coal-power-in-bangladesh/) in Bangladesh, and [**Java 9 and 10**](https://350.org/bnis-birthday-bash-were-not-celebrating/) in Indonesia.

**The G20 countries have a special role in fast-tracking the shift to a low-carbon world**. They must stop undermining climate efforts and end all fossil fuel production subsidies if they want to step up their 2030 climate targets in line with the Paris Agreement.
