Join us for an insightful webinar as we delve into groundbreaking research by the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) on the intersection of fossil fuels, conflict, and peace. The webinar will present a compelling paper exploring how fossil fuel dependencies exacerbate conflicts and why the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty is a crucial tool for promoting global peace and addressing climate change. The discussion will highlight how resource-rich nations’ extraction activities often lead to social tensions and conflicts in marginalized communities, amplifying the need for effective climate policies to advance peace and security.

This webinar will initiate a crucial dialogue on the relationship between fossil fuels and conflict, offering an opportunity to consider how we can leverage this research to strengthen advocacy for the treaty. Don’t miss this chance to engage with vital research and contribute to meaningful discussions on sustainable peace.

The event will include a panel, moderated by Aakanksha Sharma, Senior Manager, Climate Justice with Sata Sampada at the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. The panelists include:

Sylvie Jacqueline Ndongmo: President, WILPF International

Michelle Benzing: Environment Associate, WILPF International

The webinar will be recorded and uploaded to the Fossil Fuel Treaty’s Youtube channel following the event for those who cannot attend.
