Private Media Briefing on the need for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty

Fossil fuels are one of the greatest threats of our time. They undermine all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), from fueling conflicts globally to compromising health, security, and livelihoods. Governments must face them as the cross-cutting issue they are and address them in multiple multilateral forums. The upcoming UN General Assembly and the Summit of the Future in NYC will be crucial opportunities to test if the commitment made at COP28 to “transition away from fossil fuels” is genuine and here to stay. 

How does the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty feed into these processes? We have the opportunity to chart a new course – but this requires a bold and courageous global response. We need a binding agreement to halt the expansion of oil, gas and coal, and commit to a just and equitable transition to clean, renewable energy for all. The proposed Treaty is the global plan to help the world transition away from fossil fuels fast and fairly, and ensure we meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Join us for a Media Briefing with government representatives, climate justice advocates and movement leaders to get to know more about the initiative!

Speakers:

  • Susana Muhamad, Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development of Colombia

  • Ralph Regenvanu, Vanuatu’s Special Envoy for Climate Change and Environment

  • Dr. Maria Neira, Director of the World Health Organization

  • Kumi Naidoo, South African human rights and climate justice advocate

  • Rebecca Solnit, American author, historian, and activist

  • Tzeporah Berman, Chair and Founder of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (Moderator)

Healthy Cities for a Fossil Free Future

  • One World Trade Center (Floor & room sent upon registration) (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

On the morning of Thursday September 26 2024, we are hosting an event in partnership with the WHO that will convene leading health experts, Mayors, and local government representatives on the questions of sustainable cities, health, and fossil fuels to bridge these three critical topics.

Globally, cities account for around 75% of energy consumption and 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. Air pollution is responsible for 1 in 9 deaths worldwide. Health stakeholders and city leaders are acutely aware of this, however it is important that they join forces to discuss the root cause of the climate crisis, Fossil Fuels. Join this important conversation that will explore how to unlock urban health, resilience, and equity through local action and advocacy for a global just transition.

Unveiling the Values and Ideals for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty

Join us for the webinar "Unveiling the Values and Ideals for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty," where we will delve into the critical findings and recommendations from the latest report on this groundbreaking initiative. The report highlights the importance of embedding core values into the treaty and stresses the need for a global, collaborative approach to its operationalization.

Over 20 global consultations were conducted in partnership with Satat Sampada, engaging a diverse range of stakeholders, including representatives from Human Rights, Peace and Security, Health, Labour, Youth, Faith, Gender, and Indigenous Peoples. These consultations spanned multiple continents and languages, resulting in a set of guiding principles that will serve as the foundation for the treaty text.

This webinar will provide a comprehensive examination of these principles, application for a global just transition, and exploring how they can shape a treaty that not only addresses climate change but also advances equity and justice.

List of Speakers:

Harpreet Kaur Paul

Human Rights Lawyer and Climate Change Activist

Dr. Amiera Sawas

Head of Research and Policy, Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative

Moderator: Harjeet Singh

Global Engagement Director, Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative.

This webinar will be occurring twice, once at 6 AM GMT (English only) and once at 3 PM GMT (English, French, and Spanish).

  • Pacific Loss & Damages Dialogue

    Pacific Island governments committed to create a “Fossil Fuel Free Pacific” and called for all countries to join them in managing a global, equitable, and unqualified phase out of coal, oil and gas. At the close of the three-day meeting in Samoa, Ministers and officials from a block of six Pacific countries – Vanuatu, Tuvalu, Tonga, Fiji, Niue, and the Solomon Islands – agreed on an outcome resolution, named the “Port Vila Call for a Just Transition to a Fossil Fuel Free Pacific” that calls for action from Pacific and global leaders.

  • COP28

    COP28 hosted by the United Arab Emirates in Dubai from 30 November to 12 December was historic, and yet was not sufficient to keep 1.5 alive. As a result, a growing bloc of nation- states joined forces at COP28 to seek a negotiating mandate for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

  • New York Climate Week

    Climate Week NYC is a yearly event in September in New York City. Climate Week occurs alongside the United Nations General Assembly. In 2023, the clear focus of this NYC Climate Week was the call for the phase out of fossil fuels. By partnering with Climate Group, the lead organization behind New York Climate Week, and Global Citizen, the organizers of the Global Citizen Festival, the Fossil Fuel Treaty became a prominent demand at both major events.

2022 Event Highlights

  • Stockholm +50

    For the first time an official UN conference, the Stockholm+50 conference has recognised the need to phase out all fossil fuels - oil, gas and coal - and the need for financial and technical support for a just transition for fossil fuel dependent countries as read out in the final plenary. There were calls from the floor calling for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and strong calls to end the expansion of fossil fuels

  • COP27

    For the 27th time, the UN climate talks have failed to directly address the biggest driver of the climate crisis: the production of gas, oil and coal. While the agreement to establish a loss and damage fund represents immense progress for vulnerable nations who have been calling for finance to address the impacts of climate change for many years, this win is bittersweet. The failure to address the root cause of loss and damage through agreeing to phase out oil, gas and coal will mean more loss and damage in future.

  • New York Climate Week

    During the 2022 New York Climate Week, it was made clear that phasing out fossil fuel production, and fast-tracking progress towards safer and more cost-effective alternatives, will require unprecedented international cooperation. The Fossil Fuel Treaty hosted an international panel of experts discuss opportunities for growing momentum for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and how you can get involved to amplify and support the movement.

2021 Event Highlights

  • Parliamentarians Call for a Fossil Fuel Free Future

    Parliamentarians from the Global South initiated a Parliamentarians’ Call for a Fossil Fuel Free Future and are inviting their colleagues from all over the world to join them. The initiative, released at COP26 in Glasgow, was already supported by more than 150 nationally-elected legislators from more than 30 countries around the world. The initiators of the call are Members of Parliament from Bangladesh, Colombia, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Kiribati, Palau, Philippines, Rwanda, South Africa and Timor Leste.

  • COP26

    Negotiators at COP26 laid down their pens and the UK Presidency claimed victory for a successful event despite failing to address directly the elephant in the room, the biggest source of emissions - oil, gas and coal. The meeting was significant in that it marked extended public (and behind closed doors) debate on coal, oil, and gas phase out at a United Nations climate meeting. However, the fossil fuel industry, which had the largest delegation in attendance, wielded its influence, resulting in the last-minute addition of loopholes large enough to drive a coal train through.

  • New York Climate Week

    At the 2021 New York Climate Week, the Treaty was set to discuss the truth that there are a number of international agreements to tackle climate, but there is currently no international mechanism in place to limit fossil fuel expansion. To address the elephant in the room, the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty discussed wins from the past year and the biggest tasks left to tackle ahead of COP26 and beyond.
