Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative
Climate change, like nuclear weapons, is a major global threat. Bold and immediate action is needed to address the climate emergency. The main cause of the climate emergency is fossil fuels. Coal, oil and gas are responsible for almost 80% of all carbon dioxide emissions since the industrial revolution. Phasing-out fossil fuel production, and fast-tracking progress towards safer and more cost-effective solutions, will require unprecedented international cooperation in three main areas: 1. Non-Proliferation: Preventing the proliferation of coal, oil and gas by ending all new exploration and production. 2. Disarmament: Phasing-out existing stockpiles and production of fossil fuels in line with the 1.5C global climate goal. 3. A Peaceful Transition: Fast-tracking real solutions and a just transition for every worker, community and country. The world is beginning to recognize that unprecedented levels of international cooperation will be required to prevent the proliferation of fossil fuels, to phase-out existing stockpiles and infrastructure, and to fast-track a just and peaceful transition to safer and cleaner alternatives. Just as fifty years ago the world needed a treaty to defuse the threats posed by weapons of mass destruction, the world today needs a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
