Oil, gas and coal are driving the climate crisis yet have largely been ignored in climate talks and policies. That's starting to change. Millions of people are coalescing around the call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to end the expansion of fossil fuels, phase out existing production, and accelerate a just transition to clean energy and low carbon solutions. Join a panel of civil society, government and Indigenous leaders in a conversation about the growing momentum for a Fossil Fuel Treaty and how this global initiative is shaping the climate conversation, removing industry's social license and compelling decision-makers to finally take action to end the era of fossil fuels-fast, fair and forever. Hosted by Cara Pike, Senior Communication Advisor to the Fossil Fuel Treaty, founder/Executive Director, Climate Access.

With: Osprey Orielle Lake, founder/Executive Director, Women's Earth and Climate Action Network; Eriel Deranger, Founder and Executive Director, Indigenous Climate Action; Michael Brune, Climate and Campaign Strategist.

Eight island nations - Tuvalu and Vanuatu, alongside Antigua and Barbuda, Fiji, Niue, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste, and Tonga - are spearheading the call for a just and equitable transition away from fossil fuels. They are calling for a new multilateral instrument to complement the Paris Agreement that would govern the supply of fossil fuels – a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Small island developing states (SIDS) have long called on the global community for greater climate ambition. Major step-changes in international climate policy have often been spearheaded by Small Island States – from securing a 1.5ºC limit in the Paris Agreement, to pushing for the International Court of Justice to issue an Advisory Opinion on climate change.

It is in this spirit that eight island nations are calling for greater multilateral cooperation on a global just transition from fossil fuels. The proposed Fossil Fuel Treaty will enable countries to come to the negotiating table to decide the rules and frameworks that will govern the just transition from fossil fuels - with equity and the 1.5ºC temperature goal at its core.

This event, to be held at the COP28 AOSIS Pavilion, will provide an opportunity to showcase the ongoing leadership and power of Small Island Developing States in the fight for climate justice, and provide a platform to encourage other nations to join the Fossil Fuel Treaty initiative tackling the root cause of the climate crisis.

Speakers Include:

• Government Speakers To Be Announced

• Brianna Fruean, Youth climate justice activist, Samoa

• Dr. Deborah Ley, Chief, Energy and Natural Resources, Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean; IPCC Lead Author

• Nikki Reisch, Director Climate and Energy Programme, Centre for International Environmental Law (CIEL)

• Mr. Kalain Hosein (Moderator) Journalist and Weather Anchor, Trinidad and Tobago

From Paris to Lima, Kolkata to Sydney, London to Port-au-Prince, California to Rome, and Vancouver to Belém, 100 cities and subnational governments around the world are calling for nation states to negotiate a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Cities know firsthand the gravity of the climate emergency, facing heatwaves, flooding, wildfires and hurricanes that are uprooting and displacing whole urban communities. At the same time, cities are the biggest energy consumers and carbon emitters globally. That’s why cities are essential players in the global just transition and hold the unique possibility to carve out energy futures that are free from the main driver of the climate crisis — fossil fuels.

For the first time in history, 100 cities and subnational governments are rallying behind the call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, a global initiative to end fossil fuel expansion, equitably phase out coal, oil and gas, and propel a just transition to renewable energy for all.

Together, these 100 cities are building collective pressure from below to make fossil fuels history, and influence governments around the world to ratify a Fossil Fuel Treaty.

Hear from the voices of these pioneering cities and subnational governments who are championing the Fossil Fuel Treaty and building momentum for fossil fuel phase out and a just energy transition, and learn how your city can join this growing movement.

The science is clear that protection of the remaining intact Amazon forest is critical to maintaining global biodiversity, stable hydrological systems worldwide, and a  livable climate.  Across the Amazon, Indigenous peoples are fighting for their rights, and working to stop fossil fuel extraction in their home.  In addition, many national governments in the Amazon have expressed support for climate mitigation and protection of human rights and biodiversity.  Yet expansion of oil drilling in the Amazon continues and is having a devastating impact on Indigenous lives, livelihoods and  climate stability.  Road building for oil drilling is opening up new areas of the Amazon to fires and scientists warn that the Amazon is close to a ‘tipping point’. 

While there is clear interest in opening up more of the Amazon to oil extraction, like recent efforts in Peru to auction new oil blocks, there are many local and international initiatives aiming to stop exploration. The Presidents Summit that will soon happen in Belém, Brazil, the national referendum vote in Ecuador to safeguard Yasuní, the proposal to protect 80 percent of the Amazon by 2025 (80x25), and the idea of the Amazon as a fossil fuel non- proliferation zone are all part of the key discussions and progress towards protecting the Amazon.

This event seeks to identify solutions and pathways forward to a fossil fuel free Amazon that addresses human rights, ecological, economic and political barriers to stopping oil drilling in the Amazon rainforest.

This event is co-hosted by the Ford Foundation.

We all want fresh air to breathe.  Good jobs for our families. A planet where our lands and oceans thrive.

But the more oil, gas, and coal we burn, the more toxic air we breathe; the more heatwaves, fires, and floods we face. All while wealthy fossil fuel CEOs rake in record profits from dirty practices that pollute our communities. 

The United Nations is calling on world leaders to take real steps to lead us off fossil fuels to protect people and the planet. This September, the UN Climate Ambition Summit in New York will gather world leaders to commit to phasing out fossil fuels. 

Thousands of us will take to the streets of New York to demand President Biden take bold action to #EndFossilFuels.

This panel is open to registrants of the 2023 Parliament of the World's Religions.

We have been granted a gift, an earth created in all its diversity, vitality, and abundance. Instead, we have let neglect, exploitation, and unsustainable consumption threaten the natural balance, social harmony, and existence of life on earth.

The current scale of the climate crisis requires a cooperative global solution that addresses the fossil fuel industry directly. We call on governments to urgently commence negotiations to develop and implement a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

We hail from many faiths and beliefs, but together we can remedy the decades of negligence to safeguard our coexistence with this earth. Just as our beliefs are entrenched in religious and spiritual teachings, our response to the climate crisis must be deeply rooted in science and equity to heal the planet and people alike.

Attend this session at the Parliament of World Religions in Chicago this August to learn more about the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation
Treaty and how you can support it.

Despite the climate emergency new coal, oil and gas projects are still being given the green light by the UK and other governments, and in a cost of living crisis fossil fuel companies such as Shell and BP are reporting sky-high profits.

Fossil fuel companies are spending billions lobbying governments and the UN: it is not likely they will willingly plan for their own demise. Something has to change.

It's time to end the fossil fuel era and take away the power of the fossil fuel corporations. That’s why we are joining the call for an international treaty for a managed, just and fair phase out of fossil fuel extraction.

We are part of a global coalition, backed by parliamentarians, endorsed by cities and towns around the world, and led by a block of Pacific islands nations. Together, we are calling for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

We want the Scottish government to endorse the treaty.

Join this interactive webinar to find out more about the fossil fuel treaty, how it came about and what’s happening in the international campaign. Join the discussion about how you can get involved in winning the campaign here in Scotland by lobbying your MSPs and persuading your local council to endorse the proposal.

Speakers:

Tunaimati'a Jacob Netzler is the Pacific campaigner for the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty initiative. A bloc of Pacific nations are leading the call for this treaty, and Jacob has led a lot of work building political support across the Pacific over the past six months.

Nathan Taft is a campaigner at Stand.Earth. He is involved in campaigning for California to become the first subnational government to endorse the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, and will talk about how their campaign developed.

Martha Myers (to be confirmed) works for Corporate Europe Observatory and used to work for Friends of the Earth Europe. She will talk about the lobbying power of the fossil fuel industry and how it is limiting action on climate change.
