Project Summary / Description:

The global campaign for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty first launched at the COP25 in Madrid, in late 2019 by a global network of civil society leaders, academics, youth leaders and Indigenous peoples. Since then it has grown rapidly into a global campaign to demand an equitable international framework for managing the phase out of fossil fuels with three key pillars: 

1. Non-Proliferation: Prevent the proliferation of coal, oil and gas by ending all new exploration and production
2. A Fair Phase Out: Phase-out existing production of fossil fuels in line with the 1.5C global climate goal
3. A Just Transition: Fast-track real solutions and a just transition for every worker, community and country

The initiative combines three streams of work: 
Research ‚Äî¬†building the evidence base to support a global transition away from fossil fuels
Campaign & Communications ‚Äî¬†building public support and momentum towards international cooperation on phasing out fossil fuels 
Political Advocacy ‚Äî¬†engaging directly with governments and multilateral institutions to build further political support for a transition away from fossil fuels.

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

The global network and steering committee calling for a Fossil Fuel Treaty to ensure an equitable global transition includes civil society organisations and leaders representing a number of key constituencies including: 

‚Äî¬†Indigenous Peoples: particularly led by the Indigenous Environment Network, Indigenous Climate Action and Coordinadora de las Organizaciones Ind genas de la Cuenca Amaz nica (COICA)
‚Äî¬†Youth: a youth governance space led by Fridays for Future activists globally
‚Äî¬†Women: led by Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) International
‚Äî¬†People of Faith with Islamic Relief Worldwide, Laudato Si Movement and GreenFaith

In 2022 we aim to continue to scale this work with constituencies, including expanding the scope of each project and resourcing key partners.
