Healthy Cities for a Fossil Free Future
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.

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!

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).
