Countries participating in discussions to develop a Fossil Fuel Treaty are showing their support for an international agreement to accelerate a global just transition to phase out oil, gas and coal; and are demonstrating their willingness to cooperate to achieve it.

Subnational governments and cities that endorse the proposal are also sending a strong signal to higher levels of government that action is urgently needed. They are showing they can walk the talk by taking steps to phase out fossil fuels and promote diversified, accessible renewable energy and other sustainable options.

When organizations and individuals endorse the proposal for a Fossil Fuel Treaty, they are letting their government officials in all levels know there is public demand for change and that civil society will remain steadfast in holding decision makers accountable.

37 Indigenous Nations

Indigenous Peoples and organisations from multiple regions of the world are supporting the Fossil Fuel Treaty initiative in a shared call to protect territories, biodiversity, cultures and future generations from fossil fuel extraction.

The Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative recognises Indigenous Peoples as rights-holders under international law, including the right to self-determination, to their lands and territories, and to free, prior, and informed consent. The ultimate objective is to ensure Indigenous Peoples participate in shaping the future Fossil Fuel Treaty on an equal footing with nation states.

In the Amazon Basin, Indigenous Nations and organisations from Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia are calling for a Fossil Fuel Treaty.  They are joined by the Maasai community of Kajiado County in Kenya and more than 25 Indigenous and community-based groups in South Asia representing peoples across West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand. The Chhattisgarh in India have also expressed their support.

Businesses have a critical role to play in limiting global temperature rise to 1.5ºC, and in supporting the ambitious policies that will be necessary to get us there. 

As the climate crisis intensifies, businesses are coming under increasing scrutiny to demonstrate how they are preparing adequately for the inevitable climate transition. There is now growing pressure for businesses to illustrate climate leadership from diverse sources. By transforming industries from extractive climate models to crucial change agents, businesses can play a leading role in building a new, just and sustainable future.
