Building Support for a Fossil Fuel Treaty

Building Support for a Fossil Fuel Treaty: Lessons from the TPNW Process

March 7th, 1:30-2:30 pm ET / 6:30-7:30 pm UTC
Online via Zoom and in-person at the Bahá'í International Center, 866 United Nations Plaza #120, New York, NY 10017 during the 3MSP

As governments gather for the Third Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (3MSP), this special briefing will explore the urgent need for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, a proposal currently spearheaded by 16 nation-states and the valuable lessons that can be drawn from the TPNW process.

Hosted in NYC for UN Missions and live-streamed for policymakers globally, the event will provide insights into how countries successfully negotiated the TPNW—transforming a bold vision to ban nuclear weapons into a legally binding agreement—and how similar strategies could support efforts to manage a global just transition away from fossil fuels in line with climate science and justice.

Join us for a discussion on the path to negotiation of an international treaty to manage and finance a global just transition away from fossil fuel production to a clean energy future. 

Speakers to be announced soon!
