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 heatwaves drive up hospital visits - we pay the price.

For decades, oil, coal and gas corporations have raked in trillions while making the world more dangerous - supercharging wildfires, floods, and deadly heatwaves. 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. Prioritising 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.
