The plan for a global just transition to phase out fossil fuels.

About us

Climate change, like nuclear weapons, is a major global threat. Bold and immediate action is needed to address the climate emergency. The main cause of the climate emergency is fossil fuels. Coal, oil and gas are responsible for almost 80% of all carbon dioxide emissions since the industrial revolution. Phasing-out fossil fuel production, and fast-tracking progress towards safer and more cost-effective solutions, will require unprecedented international cooperation in three main areas: 1. Non-Proliferation: Preventing the proliferation of coal, oil and gas by ending all new exploration and production. 2. Disarmament: Phasing-out existing stockpiles and production of fossil fuels in line with the 1.5C global climate goal. 3. A Peaceful Transition: Fast-tracking real solutions and a just transition for every worker, community and country. The world is beginning to recognize that unprecedented levels of international cooperation will be required to prevent the proliferation of fossil fuels, to phase-out existing stockpiles and infrastructure, and to fast-track a just and peaceful transition to safer and cleaner alternatives. Just as fifty years ago the world needed a treaty to defuse the threats posed by weapons of mass destruction, the world today needs a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

  • #Cambodia just became the 18th country to officially support the #FossilFuelTreaty! 🇰🇭 At #COP30 in Belém, Secretary of State Soung Sophorn affirmed Cambodia’s commitment to a fast, fair and financed global transition aligned with a low-carbon, climate-resilient future. As part of the High-Level Action Agenda, Cambodia joined governments calling for a binding international mechanism to phase out oil, gas and coal and protect vulnerable communities. Countries across Asia, the Pacific, the Caribbean and beyond are stepping up where fossil fuel interests have stalled ambition. With 18 participating nations, and over 145 cities worldwide, the Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative is rapidly becoming the clearest roadmap for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement.

  • From the heart of Belém and across the Amazon, over 70,000 local, national and international movements came together at the People’s Summit to confront the political, economic and climate crises shaping our lives. 🇧🇷🌳 The Declaration of the People’s Summit towards #COP30 lays out a bold set of demands rooted in justice, sovereignty, and the lived realities of Indigenous peoples, workers, women, youth and frontline communities around the world. Among these demands is an urgent call to end fossil fuel exploitation, and the creation of mechanisms to ensure the non-proliferation of fossil fuels. This means a just, popular and inclusive energy transition that protects territories, delivers reparation, and defends regions like the Amazon, which are vital to life on this planet. As COP30 negotiations are underway, this Declaration reminds us that real climate solutions come from the peoples who protect land, water, culture and life every day.

  • ✊ Tens of thousands of people marched in the streets of Belém today to demand a global just transition, an end to oil, gas and coal, & a fossil free Amazon 🌳 The Fossil Fuel Treaty network and allies joined the march to call for a rapid, managed phase-out of fossil fuels, justice and sovereignty for Indigenous peoples, and cooperation at the international level for a global just transition that leaves no one behind. It was a striking reminder that all power comes from the people. Join the Fossil Fuel Treaty at COP30! See our events at https://lnkd.in/eQe4qPwp 🔗
