If you spill someone’s drink, you buy them another; if you break someone's window, you pay to fix it.

However, every time a wildfire rips through a town, every time water floods a home, every time heat waves drive up energy bills and hospital visits - we pay the price.

The oil, coal and gas corporations who fueled the extreme weather? They pay… NOTHING.

For decades, oil, coal and gas corporations have raked in trillions while making the world more dangerous - supercharging wildfires, floods, and deadly heat waves. Instead of taking responsibility, they have covered it up and lied to us - as far back as the 1950s. 

This isn’t just unfair - it’s outrageous. It’s time to make them pay.

By making polluters pay, we can:

1. Protect people’s health: Fund emergency services to help people during climate disasters.
2. Prioritise fairness: ensure people living in the greatest poverty, with least responsibility for causing the climate crisis, will be supported with the revenues raised.
3. Equip first responders: Provide the tools and resources needed to respond to escalating wildfires, floods and heatwaves.
4. Make homes and infrastructure climate-ready: Strengthen homes and city infrastructure -  roads, rail and utilities - to better withstand extreme weather.
5. Provide a financial safety net: Ensure disaster relief and rebuilding efforts are funded so families aren’t left paying the bill. 

Together, we can create a future where communities around the world are safe, our infrastructure is resilient, and our emergency services are prepared.
