From some campaigners:
Costa Rica is potentially close to make history by banning oil and gas exploration and exploitation by law, but the decision is in the balance. Next Monday Congress will vote on sending the bill back for discussion and improvement. We hope this happens, since the bill does need improvement. If the bill is changed - then we have a real chance of it becoming law (that would happen in September). The call next Monday is close though! We still need to convince some members of Congress to give the bill a chance.
That is why we would like to ask you to amplify our message and cheer Costa Rica on to give the law for a permanent ban on exploration a chance.

A country like Costa Rica could become the tipping point for many countries to forever ban drilling in their territories, getting us closer to actually achieving the world's energy transition goals. #CRLibredePerforación
#CostaRica is ready to send a powerful message to the world, by pushing to declare the country permanently free of gas and oil exploration and exploitation. I urge the country´s lawmakers to make the decision and take this important step #CRLibredePerforación
I am rooting for Costa Rica, which has long been a leader in clean energy and is continuing to promote a green and sustainable recovery out of the COVID crisis #CRLibredePerforación
#CostaRica is close to becoming one of the #FirstMovers that choose to #KeepitintheGround, by hopefully signing a bill that will permanently declare the country free of gas and oil exploration and exploitation #CRLibredePerforación
Costa Rica's economy has more to win by permanently declaring the country free of oil and gas exploration and exploitation by voting the current bill in Congress rather then falling backward #CRLibredePerforación
