At the IUCN World Conservation Congress, Members made history by adopting Motion 042, the first-ever multilateral motion to explicitly recognize fossil fuel production as a threat to nature, and call for filling the global governance gap, even considering a potential Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

This milestone, passed by a majority of governments, civil society and Indigenous Peoples, places the fossil fuel crisis at the heart of global conservation policy. Now, the question is: what’s next?

This webinar will unpack:

• The significance of Motion 042 within the IUCN system and beyond;

• What it signals for global environmental movements around the world; and

• How governments, civil society and Indigenous People’s organizations, and conservation actors can leverage this moment to build momentum for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

This is a unique opportunity to celebrate a historical moment in time when fossil fuels were put on the global conservation agenda.
