We, the undersigned members and supporters of the RE Coalitions in Benin and Togo, urge your immediate attention and action towards steering our nations onto a sustainable and clean energy path. Our plea is simple yet crucial: initiate a just transition away from fossil fuels and commit to achieving 100% renewable energy sources.
Recognizing the urgent need to address the escalating climate crisis and its devastating impacts on our communities, environment, and global stability, we stand united in advocating for a fundamental shift in energy policy. Fossil fuels are not only contributing to pollution and environmental degradation but are also finite resources, which makes their long-term viability unsustainable.
The RE Coalitions' central demand is for our governments to lead by example in the pursuit of a future powered entirely by renewable energy sources. We implore you to undertake the following actions:
Zero Investments in Fossil Fuels: We call upon you to divest from fossil fuel projects, acknowledging their harmful effects on the climate, air quality, and public health. Redirect financial resources towards sustainable and cleaner alternatives.
Increased Investments in Clean Energy: Channel investments towards the development, deployment, and scaling up of renewable energy infrastructure. This will not only create new job opportunities but also position our countries as leaders in the global clean energy revolution.
Support a Just Transition: Ensure that as we transition away from fossil fuels, we prioritize the well-being of affected workers and communities. Establish robust plans for reskilling, reemployment, and social support to ensure a smooth and equitable transition.
Policy and Regulatory Reforms: Enact and strengthen policies that incentivize renewable energy adoption and remove barriers hindering its growth. Create an enabling environment for private sector participation in the renewable energy sector.
By committing to these actions, our governments will not only contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment but also secure a more prosperous future for our citizens. The momentum for change is now, and we look to your leadership to guide us towards a brighter, sustainable, and renewable energy-powered future.
We earnestly request your immediate attention to our concerns and stand ready to collaborate in forging a path that aligns with the urgent climate goals and aspirations of our nations. Let us pave the way for a legacy of responsible stewardship for generations to come.
Sincerely,
