3-4 November, 2023

Pessoas no mundo todo vão se reunir para uma revolução global da energia renovável. Vamos redirecionar o dinheiro e a influência política das empresas de combustíveis fósseis para impulsionar um futuro limpo e equitativo para todos!

On 3-4 November, as fossil fuel companies publish another round of obscene billion-dollar profits, we will take to the streets to show that a world powered by clean and fair renewable energy is not only possible: it is ours to make.

On every continent, in big cities and on small islands, we'll take action to show that a global renewable energy revolution is within our reach. We’ll spotlight the oil industry’s greed and reclaim the money and power to fund a just future powered by the sun and the wind.

We are taking to the streets because we are outraged. But also because we are hopeful, and determined to use our anger and our hope to resist - and to build a better future for ourselves and our planet.

Join us and help Power Up this wave of change!

Exxon's, Shell's, Total's and Chevron's profit in the first quarter of 2023 alone:	Shell's excess profits in 2022, just from rising energy prices:	Total's and Exxon's excess profits in 2022:
33.2 bn USD	22.4 bn USD	56 bn USD
This could fully electrify an estimated 55 million rural households without energy and grid access.	This could pay the gap for ALL the households in the UK who suffered from energy poverty for one year – 17 times!	This is four times the money that could pay for solar energy to power ALL households in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania.

Across the world, we’re living with the impacts of the climate crisis. For some, that’s deadly heat, wildfires destroying forests and poisoning the air, and millions of people struggling with hunger after four “rain” seasons without rain. For others, it’s extreme storms washing away roads, houses and schools, and the rising ocean claiming livelihoods and farmland.

Even though we struggle - without access to electricity, with rising food and power bills, with extreme weather - we keep going. We’re determined to build a better future.

The rapid heating of our planet isn’t a natural phenomenon. It’s a crime committed by a wealthy few for their own profit. While we suffer, fossil fuel CEOs grow richer and richer. For decades they’ve been blocking climate action to protect their obscene wealth. But they’re not untouchable.

The profits the fossil fuels industry makes by digging, burning and polluting, could be used to power hundreds of millions of households worldwide with solar and wind energy. It could insulate homes, keep the lights on in hospitals and schools, ensure stable access to clean electricity everywhere, lift people from poverty and protect all of us from the worst impacts of the climate crisis.

It's time we break free from coal, oil and gas, and make polluters pay for the urgent transformation we need. As we come together to imagine a better world, we’ll also hold fossil fuel companies accountable for the damage they wrecked.

Across the globe, people are already leading the way towards a clean, just, renewable world, using solutions to the climate crisis as tools of resistance against the toxic fossil fuels industry – showing that another world is possible.

Wind and solar are producing record amounts of clean electricity year after year, and getting cheaper every day. We have all the tools, resources and technology needed to make the energy transition happen. The only thing missing is the political will to put the good of people and the planet above the profits of the oil industry, and reclaim the money our communities need to build this better world.

In November, we’re calling on governments to use all financial means possible to reclaim the excessive profits of the fossil fuels industry. Whether through taxes, by ending subsidies and by stopping all investments in old and new fossil fuel projects, they must use this money to power up the global renewable energy revolution, that is fair and distributes resources equitably around the world.

From calling out rich countries for their historical emissions which allowed them to develop and grow wealthy, to disruptively occupying places where fossil fuel companies display their wealth, and claiming public spaces to share our vision for the future: across the world you can join an event or organise one. Together we grow more powerful, more creative, and more unified in loudly demanding that fossil fuel companies be made to pay for the transition to a just, clean, renewable energy future our world and communities urgently need to thrive.

Vamos renovar já em prol do futuro que desejamos!

Power Up is an initiative led by 350.org and partners all around the world. We are joining forces with local movements, groups and communities to spotlight people power and renewable solutions as tools of resistance in the fight against the climate-wrecking fossil fuels industry.We are driven by the conviction that we have the tools, technology and resources to enable a fast and just transition to renewable energy systems – they just need to be moved in the right direction: away from fossil fuels, and towards community-centred renewable projects.

On 3-4 November, when fossil fuel companies are set to announce their next round of quarterly profits and right before our leaders get together at the next UN global climate talks (COP28), people all over the world will organise actions to demand our governments to shift money and political power towards community-centred renewable projects.Wherever we are in the world, we are facing the impacts of the climate and cost of living crisis, while the fossil fuels industry keeps blocking real climate action to protect their obscene profits. It’s ridiculous! We are angry, we are outraged, but we are also hopeful for the change that is within our reach. Here are some facts that might help convince you to join us:

Total and Exxon Mobil announced USD 56 billion excess profits in 2022. This four time the money that could pay for solar energy to power ALL households in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania.

This might be not news, but: the transition will not be done by oil and gas companies. Despite reaching a record net income of 4.144 trillion (yes, trillion) USD in 2022, they only invested 0,0019% in solar and wind that year.

Every dollar of stimulus spent on clean energy projects generates nearly three times more jobs per dollar than investment in fossil fuel projects. This is the real just transition!

Fossil fuels profits are absurd. If we tax them or redirect investments and subsidies to solar and wind, we will have the resources to make the transition to renewable energy systems rooted in justice possible and fast. We have the tools, technology and resources to tackle the climate crisis. We cannot allow coal, oil and gas companies to keep blocking the transition to just and renewable energy systems! In November, we will come together, in person and online, to power up the energy transition!

To achieve the change we want to see, we need to work together across the world: experienced activists and newcomers, workers and unions, traditional communities, all of us. It’s time to come together and demonstrate our power.

This is only the beginning. A future centred on people, care and justice is ours to make. The actions we take will help move us along the path towards climate justice. In November, join communities across the world to envision and fight for the renewable energy future that is within our reach!

Our demands are simple:

Pagar – Fazer com que as empresas de combustíveis fósseis paguem a conta: devemos recuperar para a sociedade os lucros ilegítimos das empresas de combustíveis fósseis. Para começar, nossos governos deveriam impor impostos sobre esses lucros injustos, eliminar subsídios, investimentos e empréstimos a empresas de carvão, petróleo e gás. Em vez de promover esses incentivos, os governos deveriam financiar e apoiar iniciativas de energia renovável baseadas na justiça social.
Impulsionar – Liberar dinheiro para financiar energias renováveis: os governos devem redirecionar recursos financeiros para as energias renováveis, por meio de todos os mecanismos financeiros possíveis e em todos os níveis: local, nacional e global. Esses recursos devem estar alinhados à escala e urgência da crise climática, garantindo uma distribuição globalmente equitativa dos fundos.

We want a liveable future powered by renewable energies, that is just and accessible to everyone. And the solution is clear: taking money from where it currently is – the obscene profits of the fossil fuel industry – and shifting it towards renewable energy systems rooted in justice. But taking the money of the fossil fuel industry is not enough: we want to put them out of the way. We need our governments to explore every possible means of action to stop Big Oil from dictating our energy future.

Enquanto suportamos os impactos da crise climática e das elevadas contas de energia, as empresas de combustíveis fósseis estão ficando mais ricas do que nunca. Gigantes da energia como BP, Shell, ExxonMobil, Equinor e Total registram lucros recordes repetidamente, tornando seus já ricos acionistas e CEOs ainda mais abastados e o mundo mais desigual. Não estamos construindo a infraestrutura necessária para a energia renovável de forma rápida o suficiente para enfrentarmos a escala da crises do clima e da desigualdade, e os países não estão trabalhando juntos de forma efetiva para enfrentar esse contexto.

Governments, which have supported the industry so far, should target the profits of fossil fuel companies through all the financial mechanisms possible: creating taxes, ending subsidies, stopping direct investments and loans. They need to redirect those funds to support renewable energy, both locally, nationally and by creating an international action plan for an equitable distribution of funds – so that those countries which have contributed the least to the climate crisis but are often the most vulnerable and impacted by it have the resources for adapting and for transitioning to cleaner and more resilient energy systems.

Momentum is building up in the next months, as the climate movement prepares for the United Nation’s next global climate talks, COP28, starting on November 30th, in Dubai. People are coming together in several moments, to spotlight the nasty role of the fossil fuel industry in feeding the climate crisis and demand it to pay the costs of its actions and for the clean and equitable future we all deserve.We are joining efforts with our partners organising the End Fossil Fuels mobilisation and the Make Polluters Pay Day of Action, happening in September, to demand a fast phase out of all fossil fuels and for the highest-emitting countries and corporations to be held responsible for their historical debt, by paying for losses and damages caused by the climate crisis in most impacted countries and communities. Together, we’re united to power down the fossil fuels industry – and in November we will power up renewable energies rooted in justice! We want governments to commit to target the illegitimate profits of the fossil fuel industry and redistribute them equitably to fund the just transition to renewable energy.

At COP28, we need clear and real action for an immediate phase out of fossil fuels, and to generate 1.5 Terawatt (TW) of renewable energy installed capacity per year from 2030 onwards to stay in line with 1.5C of heating. We have the tools, technology and money to make it happen – we’re just lacking the political will. Join us to put pressure on governments and power up the renewables revolution!
