An agreement to end fossil fuel subsidies at the Rio+20 Earth Summit hangs in the balance.

Thanks to the groundswell of support from people around the world, there's a proposal to end these polluter handouts on the table. But the current text has been fatally weakened by oil exporting countries.

Secretary Clinton arrives in Rio today and has the power to strengthen the text, as well as use her big speech at the summit to reaffirm the United States’ commitment to ending these subsidies.

Bill McKibben and our crew in Rio have just 48 hours left to deliver our voices directly to Clinton and her team of negotiators. Please add your signature to this petition and forward widely.

Petition:

Tell Secretary of State Clinton:
"We call on you to strengthen an agreement to end fossil fuel subsidies at the Rio Summit. The text currently on the table has no commitments, timelines or enforcement mechanisms, just an “invitation” for countries to end polluter handouts. President Obama has expressed his support for ending fossil fuel subsidies. We urge you to move this agenda forward at Rio by delivering a real deal with world leaders. "

Signed,
