Dear world citizens,

The environmental movement has made great strides in recent years. We’ve developed new, cleaner energy sources, and lots of people are now taking action to stop the worst of global warming. I've always believed we can turn this thing around, but it's going to take us all pulling together.

Having been through presidential elections, both as a candidate and as a concerned citizen, this last one was the worst yet for the climate. Donald Trump is doing everything he can to undo the progress we’ve made together in recent years, even pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement. We’re seeing extreme weather events every night on the news. Sadly, we only have to look around at what’s happening with damaging flooding caused by global warming induced storms, record breaking temperatures around the globe, wildfires, and the melting ice caps in the Arctic to know this is not theory — this is reality.

But I'm not giving up and neither should you peoples of the world. I've been working hard on my new movie, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power. In the movie, we share inspiring stories about the renewable energy revolution that’s already under way. I hope everyone who comes to see it will leave knowing that while the stakes have never been higher, the perils of climate change can still be overcome when we combine brain power with people power.

The fourth successful European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI), named "Stop Glyphosate" reached the required number of signatures. But it’s not enough that only four ECIs in five years reached the required one million signatures. A strong reform to improve the ECI is necessary, and it is only possible with your help.

Please share this video on the ECI’s facts and figures with your friends so that they can also urge the Commission for a strong ECI reform!

Don’t let the opportunity to voice your opinion to the Commission pass you by - we are closer than ever to a new and improved ECI!

For years we have been working together with tens of thousands of you to reform the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI). Finally, we now have the chance to influence a real change in EU decision-making processes! But we need your help TODAY.
