Let's fight for a world beyond fossil fuels together.

We, the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, in the face of the gravity of the climate crisis, know that the time to act is now. We know who is setting the planet on fire and we feel the devastating impacts in our territories and our lives: severe drought, forced isolation, diseases, lack of food, invasions, conflicts, and deaths. With the imminent collapse of living conditions in the world, strong and effective actions must be taken. There will be no life on a burning planet. The climate crisis is also a crisis of leadership and values. We have never given up on defending life, and we will not get lost in empty discussions and sterile commitments. While governments continue to mediate insufficient targets and empty fundings, we want to announce that, from now on, we will take the lead in a global mobilization for life on the planet.

The impacts of the climate crisis are literally on our doorsteps, threatening our health, homes, and communities. We can’t face this disaster alone, and we cannot shoulder the costs as individuals. Our government must make a bold investment in a Universal Heat Pump Program to save lives, cut our bills, and protect the planet. • HEAT PUMPS SAVE LIVES: Extreme heat is worsening every year, putting our health and safety at risk. Heat pumps could have saved hundreds of lives by keeping people cool during the B.C. Heat Dome of 2021 – and they would save thousands more as climate change continues to worsen. Heat pumps often replace natural gas heating systems, which pose their own health risks. Everyone deserves to be safe in their homes as the climate crisis escalates. • HEAT PUMPS CUT OUR BILLS: People across Canada are struggling to pay our bills and feed our families as the cost of living spirals out of control. Providing and installing free heat pumps in every household, including rental homes, is a concrete way for the federal government to cut utility costs for ordinary people across the country. We can’t afford to wait any longer. • HEAT PUMPS PROTECT THE PLANET: Fossil fuels are the root cause of the climate crisis – it’s time to kick Big Oil out of our homes and communities! A Universal Heat Pump Program, powered by affordable renewable energy, will reduce our dependence on oil and gas, cut emissions, and safeguard our planet for future generations. The federal government must commit to climate solutions that materially improve our lives, both now and in the future. Heat Pumps for All!
