This year’s IPCC reports will be the last to be published early enough to inform actionable change before 2030. The urgency is clear with IPCC scientists having issued their “bleakest warning yet” on the climate crisis and their latest report warns of a number of institutional barriers that prevent climate solutions from happening at scale.
As the UN Secretary-General has noted, “coal and other fossil fuels are choking humanity”. Yet, we are currently on track to have double the amount of fossil fuel production as compatible with a livable planet. There is a distinct need for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to serve as an anchor for international cooperation to phase out coal, oil and gas.
Join us and speakers from across government, finance and civil society to reflect on the report, on how fossil fuels are driving the crisis and why the Treaty is the bold idea that we need.
Registration is open now. There will be live translation in Spanish.
